Defrocked Valarians regroup

Yes, that is right. A series of adventures with 100-200 point characters revealed that some Valarians had been compromised. Realizing that they could do nothing they went to a well known Valarian Troublemaker with the information.

Researching the problem revealed that the infection ran deep. They were not able to pin down those "higher" tainted allies of the Pylos. Black Star assembled a crack team to strike directly at the den of the Pylos agent leading the taint. They were warned that this action could cost them there Valarian Status. They followed Black Star into the stronghold.

They fought there way in until they were confronted by a Hag Councilor, A Valarian Warmaster Dragon and several Jikadell Fiends. The Heroes nearly died, but they prevailed and Killed the Madspawn Valarian Warmaster and the Hag Councilor, but they had nothing left to confront the Pylos Agent with. They were forced to abandon the quest and regroup.

The Valarian Warmaster spirit escaped and reported his death at the hands of the Black Star led rouges. As the heroes limped away they found their Valarian Boons and abilities drain away. Not only did they gain a few old wounds to point at, but they had failed to reach their goal. They felt betrayed and bewildered.

Assembling the friends together Black Star spoke: "This is just the beginning of our battle against the Pylos and the infection they spread. We will clean up this problem. I know another way, an older way, a path of revenge. If you will stay with me I will take you to the elders and we will learn the ways of the Clans of old. The Clans know their world is lost, but it shall not be the Pylos who prevail. We are going to start by meeting with Heliot."

It seems that our campaign has taken a new course.

Now I need to decide where I put these cards for people to try. I think I will just do them as jpg files so people can download them and play. I'll let you know where that is as soon as I figure it out....
