+======Escape from Naporia======
+**The Campaign so far for a recap and potential new players**\\
+One month ago, Caelynn and Varis, two Elves from the Greyhawk Rangers put out a call to form a rebellion against the Reton Empire for their actions against the outlawed races:  Tieflings, Dragonborn, Dialias, Aasimar, and Changelings. The Greyhawk region being a safe haven for outlawed since the introduction of the outlawing 70 years ago at the end of the Ashlem War, where demons and devils had flooded the continent.
+Hearing this call was Hope a Tiefling Cleric, M'aiq a Tabaxi Bard and his manager Shavari, Merric a Halfing Sorcerer  following him his friend Kriv a Dragonborn, Riza a Dragonborn Barbarian and her Spy Teostra a Dialias, and Zyllis a Warforged Warlock Paladin.
+After meeting at the Greyhawk Keep, formally known as Carric's Keep the new rebellion travelled to Whitkin, the Capital of Greyhawk Forest to meet with the new Duke Thomas Rollo who took power a couple months ago after his father was assassinated. Torn between helping the outlawed and supporting his extended royal family. They manage to strike a deal, he shall support the rebellion in secret to give them more time to slow the advances of a growing gathering of armed forces in the north in the Mulburg Marsh.
+The group set out to find ways to encourage joining of the rebellion, where they met Lus a Changeling and de facto leader of a large Outlawed community in Whitkin, in exchange for safety they gathered their best fighters to aid in the fight while all the others travelled to the Keep.
+Shortly after they also discovered that something was stealing fresh corpses from graves, digging large holes. Managing to track the beast to Greendeep a small farming village where they find it under siege by a cadaver collector and a large collection of flesh golems. After the collector and golems were slain they discovered that they were all made, not naturally occuring. As they were leaving they met Sir Roland a noble from Sabresteel headed toward Whitkin, who did not look favourably toward the Outlawed.
+Travelling north to OldTree in the Mulburg marsh to scout the enemy forces the Zyllis and M'aiq spoke with Duke Miguel Rollo, the uncle of Thomas Rollo. Trying to appease to his hunger for power offer new unseen and power weapons in return the Duke will call off the attacks and leave Greyhawk alone. This plan falls through as they realise giving the Miguel's army newly created guns and trusting his word was likely unwise. Zyllis meets an old friend, Sarren who fought along side each other during the Ashlem War, revealing that he is working for the Duke but under false motives trying to find a way to stop the armies marching into Greyhawk.
+The following day using disguises as High Commander Barkley, Assistant Mateo, and a forged letter M'aiq and Hope usurp the Duke's position framing him for treason against the Empire, arresting the Duke but with the aid of Sarren escaped the prison, M'aiq continued the guise gathering as much information as he could before someone caught on or the Duke returned, they find the Duke's notbook containing numerous leads and that Sir Roland they had met a week ago was a spy for the Empire.
+M'aiq's disguise was foiled after meeting High Commander Arhtek and lured M'aiq and Hope into a trap the following morning where Duke Miguel, his personal guard, Sarren, and the real High Commander Barkley and Mateo teleported into the room, M'aiq quickly reacting teleported with Hope out of the room, changing disguises and leaving OldTree with the rest of the party.
+After fleeing OldTree and on their way to Naporia, a seaside town occupied by both Greyhawk and Empire forces. Encounter a trio of messengers headed toward Naporia with a message to commence operations ahead of the armies arrival. Once arrived in town Zyllis was arrested for being outside during the nightly curfew. While M'aiq speaks with the Commander of the Greyhawk allied troops warning him of the Empire forces moving toward Naporia. Being in jail brought back terrible memories for Zyllis causing him to break and escape from jail, slaughering the warden in the process sparking a fire on an already tense situation within Naporia.

+Duke Thomas will recall support to the group for reckless and unessary slaughter. Town guards will begin refusing entry to Greyhawk owned settlements by orders of the Duke and out of fear.
+The Rebellion will be seen as a terror organisation, thinking it's above law and rules of engagement. Using a machine of war to strike fear and slaughter any that stand in their way.
