C3 - Ep13: A Choice That Shapes the Realm

Safety brings questions—and answers bring heavier choices.Settled inside the outpost, the party returns to the chapel to uncover the truth behind the cursed blade. With Saint’s Glass in hand, the priests confirm what everyone feared: the sword was not merely enchanted by followers of Gnakourog—it was touched directly by the god of savagery himself. Dangerous. Corrupting. Powerful. The weapon is sealed away, but its implications linger. ⚔️👁️While Amelia recovers and Brenna’s wounds are examined, the group begins to understand just how fragile this refuge truly is. Beyond the walls, the gnolls still hunt. Beyond the chapel, gods still meddle. And behind the outpost, a shimmering portal hums with unstable magic—one that has already swallowed adventuring parties whole. 🌌As evening falls, Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor are summoned to meet the outpost’s leadership. Commander Lyra Duskbane and Ordon Vale, head of the scholars, lay out the truth: the portal does not lead to one place, but many. Each journey inside warps terrain, bends reality, and forces explorers to find a new way back. Some return. One group hasn’t. 🏰🌑The scholars believe the portal was created by a powerful wizard using three ancient artifacts—items that may hold the key to understanding the portal’s purpose… and possibly to stopping Arrax, the gnoll warlord who now rules from the Rose Citadel. But entering the portal is no small task. It isn’t meant for soldiers. It’s meant for those willing to risk everything to change the fate of the realm. 🔥Plans are debated. Doubts surface. Purpose begins to form.Crownfall is no longer just about survival—it’s about deciding what comes next.Welcome to Episode 13 of Campaign 3 of Twenty Sides.📣 Follow for Crownfall clips, lore drops, and character moments👉 @twentysidespod🔥 Support the show and unlock bonus content on Patreon👉 Patreon.com/twentysides⭐ Enjoying Crownfall?
