About the adventure

The Invisible Fortress is a Horror campaign for 4-5 players. Heroes of old have been reborn into a world that no longer recognizes them for what they are. They are hunted and despised by many, but few know these heroes were once mighty warriors who wrestled the world from its would be oppressors and heralded an age of dreams that lasted five thousand years. Our heroes begin in the Merchant city of Nexus where they have been hearing tales of wonderous magical artifacts being discovered in the remote reaches of the north. The group has already done several jobs for a merchant prince called Jade who has had them "recovering" some of these items from merchants in the city and believes them to be part of a larger haul. More troubling is the dreams everyone has been having. they come at all hours, glimpses into lives not their own, and yet familiar at the same time. the dreams seem to all point to the same place; a forgotten palace filled with luxuries beyond imagining. the dreams are almost all pleasant, except for the occasional moments where it feels as if the walls are closing in and there is no escape... will our heroes find the palace in their dreams, or will they fall from the harsh cold of the northern winter as they search for lost treasures? Given that this is a horror campaign I feel the need to point out there will be several instances of Adult Content and explicit scenes of brutal violence. There are moments where dark elements are explored, including taboo subjects like cannibalism and other less savory subjects. these elements will be explored with tact and a healthy respect for boundaries, in session 0 we will cover what these subjects may include as well discuss what kinds of behaviors will be expected when dealing with them. I plan to run this game on Roll20 where I have been busy adding handouts to ease the need of the books while playing. I have also found character sheets that have many of the rules referenced! Exalted 2e is a system that takes some getting used to, and so I plan to introduce more confusing rules in a slow but narratively satisfying pace. Players may wish to read through the Exalted 2e core book to familiarize themselves with some of the abilities, but it will not be necessary. This game is meant for players of any level, from newbies looking to try a TTRPG for the first time, to veteran players looking to try a new system. The only requirements are you must be 18+, you must be welcoming and courteous to your fellow players. I look forward to meeting you and Playing!
