The Crash
Earth, early 2020.Prior to a global pandemic, everyone was able to go about their life and travel the world. Whether long planned holidays or business trips, or returning from such, people were flying all over. Our story starts with a particular passenger jet that was flying over the Atlantic Ocean, having left the US, having collected passengers from many connecting flights, heading for Heathrow in England, for people to go all over Europe.
In the middle of the night the plane started to rock and shake, jolting many awake, as staff tried to keep everyone calm and relaxed. The staff seemed calm and confident, so things remained for a few more minutes until there was a large explosion on the left wing and the plane quickly started to nosedive.
Spinning as it headed for the ocean below, passengers were told to assume positions as internal lights went out. A soft green light peaked through closed windows as it filled the sky, similar to aurora borealis, then there was a loud crashing sound as the plane hit the water, starting to flip tail over head, then things went black..
Faerûn, Toril, 1492 DR
Something evil is trapping the souls of the dead and draining life from all who have been raised from death by magic. This worldwide "death curse" not only prevents the raising of the dead but also causes creatures that were previously raised from the dead to wither and die. The source of this death curse lies somewhere in Chult, a tropical wilderness composed mostly of jungles, plateaus, impassable mountains, and belching volcanoes.
With such far reaching impacts, adventurers and mercenaries were sent from all over Faerûn to solve the mystery. However, with so many adventurers pouring into Port Nyanzaru and embarking into the uncharted jungle, some more enterprising ship owners started to ferry adventurers down to the sporadic beaches that litter the coast to explore Chult from different angles.
The "death curse" had been going on for over a months now, and several adventurers sought out one of these ships for the week-long journey to Snapping Turtle Bay to come at Chult from the opposite side. The fog-filled night before their arrival at their destination an alarm was raised about an incoming group of Plesiosaur and for everyone to come to the ship's defense.
What the captain thought were Plesiosaurs was in fact a much larger - and much meaner - sea creature of some kind, whose large tentacles smashed through the ship with ease. The adventurers fought bravely, but could not dissuade the beast from destroying the ship and most of the crew. The few surviving adventurers jumped into the ocean in hopes of avoiding its ire, which is when the night sky filled with a bright green light that emanated from the mainland.
Then it wasn't the adventurers who were in the water with the colossal beast, at least not wholly, but those whose plane had gone down somewhere very different..
