Somewhere in the Da lurks a creature with enough power to
worry an ancient lich. The party venture
into the unknown in search of the creature and to return with new servants for
the Lich Lord, Hayyaes.
This episode combines over 2 sessions of online D&D roleplaying.
With favour to spend in Karmal, the party are able to plot
their mission for Lichlord Hayyaes. But
should they journey into the unknown or towards a great, magical power?
The journey starts with the result of the Camel Race, which will surely go to one of the group. But what follows takes a ‘bazaar’ turn and reveals some magical secrets.
Captain Nimitz
Location: The desert city of Arlatla
Race: Lizard Folk
Episodes: Series 2, Episode 9, Red Hall Part 5
Appearance: Nimitz towers above most lizard fol and wears the armour of Arlatla over his tunic.
Personality: There is no doubt, Nimitz believes in power and position. He used his rank as a lever to assert his authority and could be cruel if his position was not respected.
Background: No background is known, but this ambitious lizard was native to Arlatla and understood the ladder which he wished to climb.
What Happened during the Roleplay: He found the party as he was looking for ‘volunteers’ to go protect the Bullywug engineers in repairing the heating pipes. He did not take Hector’s hostilities well and punished him severely. At that moment a seething Hector swore vengeance and made the sure the party paid him a visit before they left the city.
Chance of recurring in future episodes: Zero. Hector got his revenge. Nomo dealt the fatal blow and Nimitz’s corpse landed on a hapless Pevel.

racy route.

The party must decide if they should complete their mission if it means serving an ancient, evil being.
