The Corruption of tabana: the spark of adventure

You wake up in a cold room.

You look around and see it's made of seemingly iron material. You stand up and look around more. You see a dresser in the corner, a bed which you got up from with a stand next to it, and a door. You walk out the door to another iron room but it's now a hallway with doors every ten foot interval and a stairway leading down.

You hear sounds coming from the other rooms like moving feet and sheets moving. Three other doors open. A acid elemental wearing apparently acid proof clothes is in the nearest door, a dwarf in the next , and human in another. You hear rustling in the second to last room.

You approach the room when you hear a thud causing you to jump. You approach the sound cautiously and peer in the door. There is a human with a scar on his right eye tangled in his bedspreads on the floor. " blasted sheets and their infernal torment." He says while struggling " let me help" you say. He looks In your direction then pauses staring at you angrily. " I need no elf helping me, you DEMON!" He shouts. You back away stunned.

" I was only attempting to assist you" you stutter out as the first human came in to help him. " it's ok John he's ok, not like the ones that were there that one night." The human says in comforting manner. You suddenly hear a large collision downstairs. You race down the stairs worrying about what's going on.

You arrive at a most peculiar scene. A pile of broken chairs and tables seemingly stacked hazardously with the acid elemental standing on top proudly. The nearby dwarf barkeeper is running over yelling " get down Markus, ya fool, ya are going at scare away me customers!". At a table in the corner is sitting a man in a cloak drawn over his face with a beer in his right hand, another table has a halfling couple staring at the bizarre mound.

You see the man that was in bedsheets, 'John' you think is his name, runs down stopping to stare at you then grabs all intact beer canisters except the cloaked mans due to a exchange of menacing growls and starts chugging them. The halfling male cheers him on as he hits his fifth beer.

Disgusted you turn to leave the metal room. As you leave the tavern you hear something running up to you. You turn around and see the acid elemental approach you, " Markus I think is your name, right?" You say to the green humanoid. You feel something communicating into your head ' that is correct, I am Markus, and please ignore the smell. That is just what acid smells like.' " oh, you are a telepath. Interesting." Where markus's face would be is a only a blank spot of acid. ' unfortunately I can't make myself a face , oh , I remember why I came here originally, you should wait for the others in case we encounter problems later.' " ok" you reply.

As you wait for them to be done with their ' shenanigans ' you see a man start having a seizure. You race over trying to help but get shoved aside as the cloaked man from the table kneels before the other man holding out a metallic sun with two line intersecting in the center of it and started to chant quietly over his shaking body. Miraculously the man stopped shuddering and stood up and thanked the cloaked man. The cloaked man stood up pulling down his hood revealing that he is a holy man of a unknown religion saying " you should really be thanking anabat, for it was his light which shone unto you.".

You approach the holy man and ask " who's anabat?" The man turns , astonished at the question " why he is the most pure being to ever exist across any and all planes! It would take tabana himself to even try to corrupt anabat." He replies. " excuse me but who is tabana?" " only the god of the corruption itself. If you so much as touch tabana , you become instantly corrupted unless of course you are anabat. It's quite ironic actually, as tabana is an aboleth."
You ask politely " excuse me but why is that ironic?"

The holy man smiles and shakes his head looking at you. " don't you know anything? Aboleths' despise gods."
