Episode 5: Heresy

from Swords Against Madness

Rayya, Olan, & Miria fight for their life against giant centipedes, we learn about Rayya’s history with the church, the PCs are stalked by a man with a grudge, and find their way barred by an enemy who declares Miria and all she stands for Heresy. This episode features a new NPC villain that I rolled up using the same character statistics as a Player Character. Mormont Mormont is an apostate from the Order of Stars: he has learned and seen too much of the Truth of the Trassi Syndicate, observed too much greed an Hypocrisy in the Aldean Church, seen too much selfishness in the Cult of the Master to believe in much of anything other than himself. He will happily sow Chaos and Discord for any faction against any faction if the price is right… and if he can serve his own agenda, all the better. Mormont: HD: 4d4 (11hp); AC: 9 [10]; Att: dagger (d4); SV: 12; Special: Magic use (See below); MV: 12; AL: Chaos; CL/XP: 6/300; Abilities: Str 8 Int 14 Wis 14 Dex 12 Con 12 Cha 13 Magic Use: Mormont is a 4th level Magic-User, who has the following spells in his spellbook: 1st Level: charm person, detect magic, protection from evil, read languages, read magic; 2nd level: invisibility, knock, mirror image; Gear: amulet (worth 103gp), backpack, dagger, spellbook, staff
