This JoJo-inspired mini-campaign was played over three sessions during May 2023. The Zappoli Squad of the Silvestri mafia family of Alverona is sent on a new mission to acquire an ancient power, and in doing so have to battle through the forces of the rival Bianchi family.
This is the first mini-campaign DM'd by Daibik.
The party known as the Zappoli Squad of the Silvestri Family were the protagonists:
Meinharde Mattone - M Earth Genasi Paragon Warlord / Stoneblood Sorcerer (Aaron)
Corvo - M Variant Human Blood Cleric (Ruhani)
Nico "Nine-Lives" Narciso - M TabaxiOLD Swords Bard (Vijay)
Giorgio McGillo - M Verdan Astral Self Monk
Slythero - M Lizardfolk Swashbuckler Rogue
They also had an NPC with them through the first half of the adventure, named Ilaria, who was Don Silvestri's right hand.
The Zappoli Squad, led and assembled by Meinharde Mattone, met Ilaria, a representative of Don Silvestri about a new mission. Hearing commotion in a nearby town square, they were attacked by a horde of undead animated by the necromancer Kroniika, and managed to take her down, realizing the threat of the Bianchi family and the fact that they’re locating the Kingeater’s corpse- a long lost powerful artifact. After resupplying for the mission, they headed to Etabrück towards the opera, crossing the bridge and facing off against Vivaldi at the opera. After taking him down, they fell down to old ruins under the opera house where they got the first corpse part.
The next day, they traveled early to the nearby town of Mapoli, eventually entering the Church of Jakuna and facing off against Zirax. Recovering the corpse part from the church, they headed back to Alverona but had to take the forest path due to the approaching storm causing a traffic block. In the forest, they were attacked by Alessandro’s archers and traps, but managed to deal with him.
The next morning, as the storm hit the city, they met up with Don Silvestri, who sent them across the stormy channel to the island of Casa Finino. The boatsman Vitoli only went so far, and they had to swim to the cursed island. At the gates of Kingeater’s Castle, the treachery of former capo Carmen Moretti was revealed, and the gang managed to beat her and her shadows. In the void well of the castle, they destroyed the corpse instead of using it to gain power, leading to the destruction of the castle and the island as the gang barely escaped with their lives, having saved the city of Alverona.
