**The Parable of the Soldier**

She was born with Her Hand in a fist.
She was ready to strike out at the world,
For all of its injustices.
She was anger incarnate,
And would see the world slaughtered for its wrongs.

When She came upon the Church, 
She saw it as a beast.
Something to be slain immediately.
She sought to destroy its greatest weapon:
The Aberration. 

She knew nothing of peace, of prosperity.
She only knew how to enact violence,
In defense of a cause that She could not name.
The world soon had nothing left to slaughter,
And the Her Hand dripped with old blood.

This module takes place inside the **City of Three Ports**, an extra-dimensional space overseen and operated by a //Genius Loci// known as the "Mayor". The City is a mixture of urban cityscape and wilderness; one would be likely to run into a heavily forested park in the middle of a busy street, or be walking out of the deep woods and come across an array of pleasant-looking townhouses.

It is inaccessible to most of the world, and a well-kept secret in the eyes of many. However, it is home to its own brand of danger -- and here, ill omens come in Fives.

Our adventure begins with the Avatars meeting in a tavern near the **Cervine College of Magic** to receive orders from one **Regina Cloth**.

It's late evening, or what passes for it, in the City of Three Ports. You've all been directed to meet in a place known as the "Yet Another Bloody Tavern". Sitting inside is an agent of the Foundation, who is given a wide berth from the locals, mainly students from the Cervine College of Magic: a stone's throw away. She has a tankard on the table before her, but it's overturned, and she's clearly anxious about something beneath it.

"Okay, you made it," she gasps, grateful. "Good, good. Something bad is going on in this city. There's been a rash of madness, and what's worse, strange luck. Not necessarily bad, just... strange."

"A man can win the lottery one day and be struck by lightning five times the next. Lightning does not naturally occur within this city, by the way-- the Mayor controls the weather and the day-night cycle."

She pulls up her tankard slightly, revealing an impossible shape: a five-sided die whose sides are all pentagonal. This shape should not be able to exist in three-dimensional space, and yet, it does.

Questioning may reveal the following information:

* The Cervine College of Magic has recently allowed a new religious group on its campus.
* This group is obsessed with stars and the number five.
* Other symptoms have manifested along with the ill luck, most commonly eyes developing multiple pupils. 
* The dice game will be held in a place called **Davidson Hall**.

With that, the Avatars should be encouraged to move on.

Davidson Hall is rather dark this time of evening. There are still signs of life within; you hear laughter from upstairs, the clinking of glasses, and the devouring of food. You hear an occasional "Booo" or "Come on!" as you enter, but it's clearly all in good fun.

The second floor contains a tall lounge where several students, clad in the uniform of the Cervine College (a purple robe and hat with stars and planets adorning the cloth) are gathered around tables, playing through various games using dice-- board games, wargames, even the odd card game. Among each pool of dice are one of the five-sided dice Regina showed you earlier.

A student notices you and boos. "The fascists are here!" Eyes turn your way; it's clear that the Cervine College maintains a very low opinion of the Foundation. What do you do?

Should the players try to make their case, they will be shouted down. Items may be thrown at them non-lethally, and minor magic may be cast in an attempt to deter them. Eventually, a member of the student body steps forward, introducing himself as **Marco Boone**. He picks up one of the five-sided dice and shows it to the group.

From this point on, this module makes use of a unique table (hereafter called a "Doom Clock") to track the spread of the antagonistic force ("**Aberration**"). The Doom Clock progresses at various intervals throughout this module, depending on the actions of the Avatars, and does not roll back once progressed. The Doom Clock also progresses by one upon the death of a player, and by one if the players take a quick rest.

The party's goal is to assemble components for a rite that will dispel the Aberration before the Doom Clock reaches 12. Taking a Quick Rest will raise the Doom Clock by 1.

At multiple points in this module, the party will find themselves in the midst of a random Encounter. When this happens, roll on the appropriate Random Encounters table, according to the current status of the Doom Clock.

The difficulty tier of these random Encounters increases at two points on the Doom Clock. When rolling the Moderate Encounter tier, triple the amount of enemies Encountered when rolling a 1-4. When rolling the Major Encounter tier, double this amount, and double the amount for enemies Encountered rolling a 5-6.

You emerge onto a narrow and poorly-kept street. Pieces of the pavement jump out at odd angles, but there seems to be less open violence here than elsewhere. Towards the top of a building, a green, coiled snake is painted, with the words "S.O. Forever!" written underneath in glowing script. The doors are shuttered, and nobody is probably willing to let you in.

After some more walking, you come upon a lone mage in combat with... what was once a dragon. The mage is very distinctive, with pale skin and flowing tattoos down the right side of her body, starting on her face and continuing beneath the robes. The dragon is covered in odd, five-pointed sigils, and has two heads, with three more starting to grow out. The mage shoots a gout of fire at the dragon with one hand, forming a shield around it with her other. At first, the dragon seems as if it's going to cook... and then it spreads all five of its wings, breaking out of the bubble and flying off. The mage is knocked back onto her rear.

Then, she looks up to see you, an uncertain grin on her face. "Seems I'm almost out of spells for the day," she laughs. "Think you could help? I'll make it worthwhile."

This is **Acorn Lowell**, a magus of the Serpent's Order. The Order is a collective of mages and monsters from across all of reality, united in their goal: the preservation of magic. While initially hesitant to trust the avatars, Acorn reveals that the source of the Aberration is at the center of the city, in a cathedral built by the **Pentad Church**. She notes that the party could hypothetically destroy the Aberration at the root if they were to get to this location and fight it off. She's willing to help further if the Avatars help to slay the Aberrant Dragon. If they do, the Serpent's Order will grant the party **N-Space Rings**. These devices will allow them to traverse the city by undoing its spatial warping.

If the party attempts to walk away from Acorn's location without **N-Space Rings**, they inevitably find themselves walking towards them again, as space confusingly loops around them.

The Aberrant Dragon circles around again for another attack soon after.

Acorn will aid in their fight.

The greys and browns of the City of Three Ports give way to whites, silvers and natural greens. Short, square buildings are all around, as well as a distinct lack of any looters. A gate is overhead, dominated by an emblem reading "AP" clenched in the talons of a metallic falcon. It's easily recognizable as the campus of Anderson Pneumatics, a company responsible for manufacturing androids in the city. It seems that they may have already somehow overcome the Aberration.

The blast of energy that breaks down the gate, combined with the severed, gibbering android head landing by your feet, soon shatters that belief. A woman's voice is heard overhead, coming from a set of almost comically-large speakers.

The first floor of this building is home to once-pristine Anderson Pneumatics research laboratories. Behind a reception area is a series of dark hallways and locked rooms. You can make out humanoid figures inside, through the frosted windows. It takes a moment for you to realize that these are only non-functional androids. Soon, you find Dr. Yemenos' laboratory. It's the only unlocked door.

Dr. Yemenos' laboratory contains several deactivated androids, robots, and other contraptions. Beneath her desk, the party finds a box -- labeled "Magician Stuff". Opening it will reveal a purple crystal of some form. Surely that's what Yemenos is looking for?

As you see the Pentad Cathedral loom over you, reality begins to completely break down. Space on the streets below you -- no, over you -- stretches for infinity... signs and buildings looping on themselves. The sky is beneath you now. Still, your N-Space Rings protect you from the worst of it, letting you walk in relative stability.

The Cathedral is a large decaying stone building with five tall spires coming out of its top. These spires are bulging and pulsing, looking more like fingers on a hand. You walk up -- or down -- the Cathedral steps, and push the heavy wooden doors open.

Inside the Cathedral, you glimpse the Source of the Aberration. It defies exact description, being something completely alien to your senses. You briefly see a bulbous fleshy lump, with hands reaching out of it, stray nerves floating through the air like smoke. The halo of an angel penetrates the darkness of a moonlit eve that exists inside the Cathedral, as the Source pushes more and more of the Aberration through to your reality.

Suddenly, a brilliant beam of pure light bursts into the building, focused directly on the Source, catching it by surprise. You watch it wither and writhe in apparent agony, its wet hands clawing and screeching. You feel fear in the air. Whatever it may be, it is hurt, and vulnerable, now. All you have to do is finish the job.

This is it. You have fought hard to get here, and all of reality is on the line. This is not a fight you can afford to lose.
