Mirror of Erebaz (one-shot)

The Mirror of Erebaz was a Scrolls & Swords one-shot in winter 2016, set in the kingdom of Warsto in Equis in the early 4th era.

Plot Summary
A demonic rift has opened in the kingdom of Warsto. The greatest adventurers in the kingdom have gone to investigate the rift... and have gone missing. The only other adventuring party active in the capital city of Zaul is dispatched to find them and bring word of their fate back to an agent of the king.

This adventuring party, spending most of their time drinking at the Filthy Mop in Zaul, consisted of Flanders -- a mage powered by alcohol -- and his two devout followers, the paladin Ser Antonio Bogart and the priest Lancelot Bogart, brothers who believed Flanders was a god who had not yet realized his full potential. They were also joined by Martin "the Idiot," a simple man who had little situational awareness but enjoyed the company anyway.

The party travels through South Warsto, a swampy land filled with disgruntled separatists who have been spurned after a failed rebellion. The South Warstonians are Tormist, converted by missionaries sent from the recently-founded state of Torm. After a struggle with the South Warstonians, they escaped to the Fetid Cliffs of Annihilation, where they contended with a giant-sized rock troll and investigated some ruins built into the cliffs.

In these ruins, they found the remains of the first adventuring party sent out, and their last surviving member examining a huge mirror, identified as the Mirror of Erebaz. The survivor, an elven woman, was trying to determine the secret of the mirror which was said to grant godhood. Martin ended up passing through the mirror into a subrealm of the Fluid Nothing, and Ser Antonio decapitated the elven woman to prevent her from using the mirror.

The brothers Antonio and Lancelot sought to use the mirror to facilitate Flanders' ascension to a god of revelry and drink, and to draw enough power to himself Flanders summoned an "alcohol demon." He ended up being transported to the demon rift, and after Martin's return from within the mirror-realm, Antonio had a revelation in which he came to believe that the true god-to-be was Martin, not Flanders.

Antonio and Lancelot took Martin back into the mirror. Lancelot was ejected from the realm inside while it collapsed around Antonio and Martin, merging them into Titer to become an aspect of the god of chaos, a whirling storm of bone and blood capable of granting twisted wishes. Meanwhile, at the demon rift, Flanders bartered with a demon for an unlimited supply of alcohol, and was made into a living castle with a self-replenishing supply of kegs, able to access limitless alcohol but not to drink it.

Finally, Lancelot took the countryside to spread the word of Titer, his companions all vanished.
