Vikaastea Oak Shield: tumbling down the spiders hole [ EDIT ]

This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.

There is an area known in Faerun as the Marsh of Tun. It is far to the east, and little information comes from there. People tend to stay away from the Sunset Mountains...
But a lot have happened there in the past century! A new realm arose in that hostile land : Oakfall, lead by king Serrok. (map https://i.imgur.com/nyo1f9t.jpg)

What is known in the Sword Coast as the Sunset Mountains is called here the Spinecord Mountain Range, and the young but great city of Vikaastea is located just outside the Marsh of Tun that they are actively trying to "clean".

You and some companions serve in the Oak Shield, an organization whose purpose is to maintain order within the realm. You've been mobilized to investigate the recent events in an ancient Copper Mine, where spidery creatures seem to have holed up and from which they raid nearby villages.

Character Generation Info

You will start as a level 5 adventurer using Ornux standard game options (PHB and SCAG, plus extra).
Some house rules will apply, detailed in the appropriate Thread.

This game will happen mostly underground featuring exploration and discoveries. It intends to explore a more "action focused" gameplay, but not a mindless one. Threats will be real and mistake will cost you a lot.
Players and characters should strive to support this gameplay.
