It was so fun to introduce the world with a mix of new players and old! It was quite entertaining to see the veterans of my campaigns slowly realize where exactly they were when they crossed the lands that became called The Great Waste to come to the Labyrinth.

And then the new adventurers find the Ranger still alive - or undead as a Revenant - after countless aeons, sustained by vengeful rage and hatred towards the devils. But is he a friend, or is he so far gone that he attempts to rip and tear all those who cross his path?

[@thomasbellfield8020]

Such an interesting cast of characters, and an incredibly well written story with bloodshed and hope, one of my favourite stories

[@MALS010]

This is hands down one of my favorite stories on the channel. I love that the party were given many reminders to focus on the greater evil instead of evil. I love that when issuing the consequence of not prioritizing the true threat the dm made them live with it and try to fix it instead of just going "The world is ending, GAME OVER!" I especially love that the campaign ending opened up the possibility for many more campaigns in that world.

[@fearmusrozenrot1864]

Always nice to hear of a campaign where the players actions and flaws have impact, and even ran a few campaigns where that was the case. But gotta admit, I've /never/ seen a campaign where the impact was on this scale. And honestly...now I kinda wanna run one with the risk, and see if my players fall for the same mistakes.

[@SirBladewind]

The only reason is became on this scale is because of the cleric player. She was a DM before as well so when the party screwed up and fled into the kingdom to the west we took a break. She and I hung outside and had a few beers when she jokingly pitched the idea. She basically joked "Well what if we could like, lock the portal up or something? Like I know it'd be hard but I don't want to just run away," I took the idea and ran with it and feverishly wrote for a few nights and pitched the campaign to them. They were down. We time skipped a few times during down times or after major victories between offensives. The cleric also was the one who came up with the idea to sacrifice herself to secure the Labyrinth, I'd had them all write a page about their own epilogue and tried to weave it into the story. It worked out quite well I think.

[@Yoxiv]

I can see the Ranger becoming some kind of haggard, restless entity, barely the mortal he once was, but still as ruthless and crazily efficient in his pursuit of demon slaying. Perhaps he's saved by the spirit of his lost love, either having to be put down by the party, or having his mind restored through their help.

[@richardd3367]

Perhaps her Ghost enters and sustains his body!

[@SirBladewind]

So headcanon whatever you want with the ranger and if you include him in a campaign let me know! But the official part of his story so far with the blessing of his former player is that he made a pact with a celestial that halted his aging and gave him a few minor holy powers and he has used that to great effect in slaying devils. He's been pretty good at pitting different factions against each other and has actually killed more by stirring conflict than he as by physically slaying them. So if you want a mysterious stranger who helps you out if you get trapped in the nine hells the ranger can absolutely be your guy and me and his former player absolutely encourage it!

[@GrayBeans]

Okay but like, I think this is genuinely a better story than just stopping it imagine what this DM had to come up with on the fly.

[@commanderkit-kat9314]

This absolutely sounds similar to the Fable 3 endgame. Lawful Evil noble ripping apart his country and people in order to try and stop the greater threat while the player(s) undermine their efforts until they find the real threat

[@SirBladewind]

You know I never thought about it that way but it kinda was! My particular inspiration in writing this campaign was actually Dead Space 2 and the unitologists.

[@commanderkit-kat9314]

A party ending the world through their arrogance and naive inability to see beyond their immediate emotions is a nice way to remind players that the world doesn’t just stop when they lose interest in part of it. That it became backstory for a new adventure is a very clever twist.

That's the funny thing isn't it? The big picture types more often then not, likely can see the scale of a global threat in their minds and designate everything else as lesser. importance. The other guy probably can't even fathom closing gates on people seeking shelter in an already crowded city.

[@brandontucker6958]

Not to mention after the apocalypse started they literally started doing exactly what the noble was doing as soon as it was an option. Force people into helping, if they don't help towards the greater good then they are a hindrance that must be dealt with.

[@SirBladewind]

Hey everyone! I'm the DM from this campaign! I'm glad you all like it! Me and the players were very proud of this one but it was very exhausting campaign! The great caging was actually inspired by the cleric player. She suggested that idea over a beer outside during our break and it utterly inspired me. I wrote feverishly for several sleepless nights and then presented the idea to the players of a great war to save the world. They loved it and the campaign began. It was brutal, a lot of inspiration from LOTR and Saving Private Ryan. Lots of battle lines drawn and soldiers dying for their brothers and sisters in arms. The twin elves were also twins in real life. They were fun players. The death of the noble's daughter was unplanned. Everyone failed every single hit on the devil and the ac was quite low so it was just pure bad luck that she got killed. The players were cool with it though, more emotional investment. It was an amazing time but we were so emotionally worn out by the end that our next half dozen or so campaigns were just simple adventures, like a pirate adventure with treasure hidden on a floating island. Its the best campaign I've ever done and nothing has compared since.

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

YIRBEL LIVES! Ohh Lovely! The ability of a party to overlook the main threats of a campaign for side grudges never fails to warm my heart. Hardly a fan of utilitarianism anyway. I would’ve kept sword fighting that noble as the black sun belched out horrors just to spite him all the more.

[@Nyghtking]

Yup, the party forgot that while the noble was a more immediate concern he wasn't going to destroy the world if left alone and therefore didn't matter in the long run, they ignored the world ending threat to deal with a non-concern.

[@mareczek00713]

@@Nyghtking Not to mention dude sacrificed himself for them after they destroyed his lands and plans, took away his daughter and got her killed and even allowed ranger who he should hate most to go.

@@mareczek00713 Nah, as I said elsewhere, 'necessary' does not mean 'good.' Fighting evil does not make you automatically good.

[@morgantaylor84]

@@willparry530 Yes, and ruthless methodology doesn't automatically make you evil either. What the OP thinks of as a tyrant isn't a tyrant, but a social counter-culture ruler in a world culture where helping the evil group attempting to destroy the world is the norm. I would honestly say the noble was probably Lawful Neutral and was only seen as evil from the party's perspective, but wasn't actually evil. Edit: It is of course very Human to do something like this though. Look at Fossil Fuels vs Nuclear Power in our real world. Nuclear Power kills on average 1/4th of the people per year that Fossil Fuels do, but Fossil Fuels cause slower and more insidious deaths through complications with respiratory illnesses. Where most of the deaths from Nuclear Power came from the TWO major accidents. So Nuclear Power is seen as more dangerous despite statistically being way less of a threat.

@@morgantaylor84 This is not the real world, this is DnD. And killing children is an inherently _evil_ act. The DM outright stated the noble killed children. His ruthlessness led him to commit evil acts and you are going to sit there and tell me he's _not_ evil? Lesser evil, sure, because his actions are not going to start the apocalypse, but he is evil, no ifs, ands, or buts.

How would one even run something so epic and world ending....it blows my mind!

[@SirBladewind]

It was incredibly emotionally draining for all of us involved. We did dumb one shots and silly campaigns for awhile because we needed the break. Like we were *into* this campaign. Texting back and forth every day. I was writing between classes. It consumed our lives for months. Wouldn't trade it for the world though.

[@pavelZhd]

The way the story is written here, is awesome. Cool buildup towards the darkest hour, and then perseverance through massive sacrifice. However when I imagine how those events transpired at the table, I just can't help but see a DM super frustrated by players over focusing on his "antihero" noble NPC and ignoring his obvious clues that they should follow the main plot. So frustrated in fact that he threw the abocalypse at them almost like "rocks fall" and all the events past the mirror are an epilogue, where the DM dismissed the campaign and used players' characters to fix the world... Most likely only when he got the idea on this "death maze" type adventure and tinkered this broken world to include it.

[@SirBladewind]

Nah I wasn't mad. I actually had originally figured they'd have to flee the entire plane but once the cleric player and I shared a beer and she joked about the idea I decided a completely different direction for the story to go and wrote feverishly for days to make the story you see before you.

[@pcity15pheenom]

I like the story. This is my synopsis however, chime in as you feel. The party made the mistake of going after the noble rather than focusing their attention on the cultists. True, the noble wasn't exactly a good guy, but he was fighting a cultist too the best plan would have been to at least for the time being work together on combating the threat and stopping them. They just decided to start an outright Revolution against this guy for killing the woman that was meant to be the ritual sacrifice when they could have saved her. And as for her, if she was the key to the ritual and bound magically, could they not have simply dispelled the magic or at the very least removed the curse of the magic that was linking her to the ritual? Or at the very least find more information about the ritual and how to destroy it? I feel like had they done that and then utterly broken the cultists having foiled their plans, then they could have their revolution planned against the noble

[@lkriticos7619]

Agreed.

[@thecinnamonguy5127]

Wow one mistake almost ended the world. The DM gave them multiple chances only for the players to not really care about the big issue. Brilliant

[@thegreatcanadianweasel9928]

I was really hoping the daughter would turn against them and be a leader in the cult, but her getting killed was also a great story telling note. The party was definitely stupid. The noble was evil, people keep focusing on that one girl sacrifice, but forget the whole: he basically ha a purge on families of the cultists killing probably hundreds if not thousands of people whose only crime may have been having a brother who was part of one of the largest cults in the land. Still while I don't agree with his methods on that part, I agree with him taking the hard actions like killing the sacrifice girl. The party going after him for that rather than the hundreds of innocents he killed before really brings to mind the quote "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic." (which Unfortunately was by a tyrant similar to the noble)

The noble's methods were evil, but I agree they were necessary. These players were so short-sighted it's sad. I have to wonder with that in mind, was he DMing for teenagers? They're not stupid, but they're too emotionally-passionate and made the mistake of letting their emotions think for them which is something that teens often do.

[@shishoka]

An interesting addition to this would be the actions of the party increasing the popularity of the cult as distant towns result in rumors and stories being combined with the stories about the cult. Cultists begin using the same tactics as the party; cultists and sympathizers offering aid as they assume the party is part of the cult. Maybe the party even begins to doubt what the cult is.

[@knighttemplaroftentacult7123]

Sometimes to fight Evil you should bring another Evil. That's why this noble was right ALL ALONG. They could just swallow their pride for a second and save it all. But I guess it will always be a Superman vs Batman sides of morality in players. One is a police poster boy, while other is Punisher. And I am all for Punisher.

Okay, in defense of this party, what a terrible way to set this all up. “You guys couldn’t come to a decision so I just merc the girl.” If I’m to believe that this just happened with no warning whatsoever then that’s shit. Of course a party is gonna be angry at someone who not only killed an innocent, but took the choice of what to do from the party. It’s a grand story but it started from a pretty terrible decision. I’d like to hear the full story and know if the DM hinted he was gonna kill her or not.

[@richardd3367]

Because all bad guys obviously broadcast all their plans and intentions. Ever seen a show where that *didn't* happen? There are some, and then the heroes have to be *smart*. (It's also been done that a villain "monologues" his whole plan, then it turns out that whole thing was a lie. 'What, me, a villain, tell a lie? Perish the thought." [attitude not direct quote]) Now I *am* wondering about that scene from the game-mechanic standpoint; many sytems would allow player initiative or something to interrupt the villain's action. But maybe that happened and the players' rolls weren't good enough, so what we hear doesn't include it because suddenly inserting a game mechanic would have disrupted the flow of storytelling.

[@TheNoMoreGamer]

@@richardd3367 I get it, but this isn't a grand production, this is a couple of people sitting around a table playing DnD. I feel like it's a lousy thing to do to a group if they've been planning too long and the DM says "Okay bad guy kill victim" without any chance for the players to react. Even a hint, like the DM saying "The villian draws his weapon and walks over to the hostage", giving them an opening to be like "oh shit, time to deal with the immediate problem". If the latter were true, and from a mechanic standpoint they were given a chance to stop the bad guy, then that's fine, but if the situation was "You took too long, he kills the girl" with nothing in between I wouldn't call that a good DM moment.

He was getting steadily more exasperated as the argument went on. He'd suggested a few ideas that they shot down, like imprisoning her for the year or whatever so he finally made the executive decision and killed her.

I mean come on, he didn't want something awful to happen like a hell invasion and his daughter getting her throat torn out by a devil or something far fetched like that. 😅

first one

[@Firearm65]

I really love the worldbuilding and lore behind this story, but I’m struggling to enjoy the whole “party failed the world and the apocalypse is their fault” bit. Making hard choices and necessary sacrifices is one thing, but the noble seemed to be brainless in his approach. Of course peasants and adventurers are going to revolt if you act poorly to them and seek immediate results with no possible alternatives. At some point, if you sacrifice all humanity for practicality, then you’re not acting practically, because people will simply refuse to work with you and get shit done. Idk, the players really dropped the ball by considering this guy a prime threat over literal fiends, but I feel some responsibility lays on his shoulders. You have to know when necessary evils are necessary, but you also need to know when the most straightforward option simply won’t work

[@SirBladewind]

Well what wasn't helping his cause was the Black Sun cult fueling dissent. This was practically the best gift they could've gotten. Their most ardent enemy being tied up in a civil struggle freed their hands. So of course they fuelled negative talk of the noble as much as they could. This was ALSO telegraphed to the party in various ways but they didn't pay attention.

[@HestiaVesta]

I kind of blame the noble if he hadn't killed her then Thune ritual wouldn't have been completed that whole special knife thing was more likely a blog so someone like the noble will kill her.
