Campaign Season Three Update: Dungeon Raiders' desperate gambit and last dastardly deed

The party finally arrived at a strange extra-dimensional area where the last piece of the Staff lies. The party discovered an ancient construct called the Doomwalker which they could control from within a control room. They encountered the Pactlords (who had the Key) a last time as the latter teleported in to recover the most powerful artifact of pure evil. The party barely had time to restore the Staff when the Pactlords had their hands on the final artifact. Out of desperation, the party brought the Staff and the Key together without a second thought.

Campaign Season Three Update: Recollections before the Final Chapter

The current situation:
The party has failed to recover the Sword that the Church needs desperately to overturn the tide of darkness. It is now in the hands of the enemy.
The party has failed to prevent the enemy from recovering the Grail. The shadow of darkness will soon overcome the last faint ray of resistance.
The party could only hope to recover the Key, complete the Staff of Shards and seal off the catacombs forever. Then destroy both of them, so none can open the catacombs again.

The party is now desperate. With so much evil concentrated in the ancient catacombs, the party is driven to do all kinds of dastardly deeds.
The bards will remember:
Chapter 9 – A divine healer of the party striking down an unarmed and defenseless old artist (although they say that the pen is mightier than the sword...)
Chapter 8 – Deliberately luring a creature from another plane to its doom by laying a trail of coins to various traps in the catacombs (although the creature survived...)
Chapter 7 – Killing an innocent man who was being hypnotized by a witch to be her slave and was standing there defenselessly (although they thought he is a minion of the witch...)
Chapter 4 – Entering private property without permission and stealing a valuable artifact from within its vaults (although technically a member of the house was with them...)
Chapter 3 – Leading an evil monster out of the catacombs which went on a killing spree and consumed many city folk (although they tried but could not kill the monster...)

Now as the party approach the final chapter... what sort of desperate acts will the party resort to in order to achieve their goal?
Does the ends justify the means, or will their means justify their end?

All party members are reminded to complete leveling up before the next session.

Campaign Season Three Update: Dungeon Raiders lost the Sword and failed to prevent the Pactlords from recovering the Grail

The party finally reached the top of the shaft. They made sure everyone is well rested earlier, while the commotion raged above them. The party was dealt a severe blow when they realized they have arrived too late. The Pactlords have taken both the Grail and the Sword, and slaughtered the other parties in the catacombs. The party is left with the Sealing Rod and their last hope is to recover the Key, complete the Staff of Shards and seal off the catacombs forever.

Campaign Season Three Update: Dungeon Raiders continued their ascend up the shaft looking for trouble behind every door

The party barely escaped with their lives from the dragon. They continued their ascend up the shaft and explored any unsealed doors along the way to look for more trouble. It was not long before they found it again in the form of a demonic bird-like creature.

Campaign Season Three Update: Dungeon Raiders arrived at the Baneheart and begun to climb up thousands of feet

The party broke through the Inner Vaults and arrived at the heart of the catacombs. Within the Spire, the party found hundreds of vaults, most of them still sealed. The vaults are placed at regulars intervals along a circular shaft that leads up several thousands feet. Without magical means to fly, the party begun the laborious climb up the shaft. They opened the wrong door and were sucked into an extra-dimensional space, face to face with a dragon that claimed the party as her toys.

Character creation for Campaign Season Three: Campaign Cards

For the completion of Campaign Season Two “Lost Treasure”, all players receive an award of 1 Player Point. Players who completed both Season One and Two should have a total of 4 Player Points. Player Points can be used for the following:

Note that the number of cards in a character's campaign card stack cannot exceed the character's level. Hence even if you have 5 campaign cards, you can only use up to 3 when creating a 3^rd level character. More campaign cards can be added to the stack when the character levels up.

The following secondary sources are approved for this campaign:
- Complete Warrior
- Complete Divine
- Complete Arcane
- Complete Adventurer
- Miniatures Handbook

Example on the use of campaign cards:
Lidda used 7 Player Points to purchase the following: Class (Scout), General (Wink and a Smile), and two Rule Item campaign cards.

When creating a Scout character, she puts the Class (Scout), General (Wink and a Smile) and the two Rule Item campaign cards on her character's campaign card stack. She uses the two Rule Item campaign cards to unlock Dash and Deft Opportunist.

When creating a Rogue character, she puts the General (Wink and a Smile) and the two Rule Item campaign cards on her character's campaign card stack. She uses the two Rule Item campaign cards to unlock Danger Sense and Eyes in the Back of Your Head. The Class (Scout) campaign card is not used.

She cannot create a Ninja character since she does not have a Class (Ninja) campaign card, neither can she take the prestige class Dungeon Delver without the Class (Dungeon Delver) campaign card. She also cannot use any General campaign card that she has not purchased.
