Seeker

In early 2345, at the conclusion of season 4, an unidentified individual known by the alias 'The Seeker' conducted a large-scale terrorist attack and invasion of New Gork, resulting in serious damage and loss of life. During the attack, a group of adventurers managed to banish the Seeker to the Astral Plane, which helped to significantly reduce further losses to the city. The Seeker's current whereabouts are unknown at this time.

Appearance
The Seeker is presumed to be a man, hidden behind a sinister mask.

Significant Effects
The attack killed approximately several hundred individuals prior to resurrection efforts and injured thousands more, leveling 20% of the city in the process. This included large portions of the central city, including the town hall and library. Following major resurrection efforts, around 500 individuals remain dead, and much of what was destroyed has been rebuilt.

Due to their efforts in preventing further loss of life, a memorial to the adventurers responsible for banishing the Seeker has been erected in the town square.

Summary
Sometime late in the morning, eight large explosions were detonated at various points along the city wall, breaching the city's main line of defense. This was immediately followed by swarms of elementals appearing and quickly rushing into the city, indiscriminately destroying anything in their path. The New Gork Defense Force and adventurers throughout the city quickly mobilized to begin damage control and repel the invading force as the Force headquarters became a center of operations.

As the battle raged throughout the city, it was discovered that various sigils had been scribed on the outer wall that weakened it and other magical measures in place that protect the city from the varied dangers of the continent. Parties were dispatched with the goal of destroying the sigils.

One such party, comprised of Dave, Silver, Gwen-Stacy Watson, and Wicked, encountered an individual clearly enchanted and wandering the city. This individual was marked with a strange tattoo, forcing the victim to travel to a targeted location before the tattoo detonated, creating an explosion similar in power to the ones used to breach the city walls. This information was relayed back to the Defense Force, who began disarming individuals throughout the city.

In the closing hours of the invasion, the Seeker was spotted near the town square, scribing a much larger detonation sigil there, and the same party confronted him, resulting in a fierce battle wherein the Seeker was banished to the Astral Plane. In the midst of the fighting, however, the sigil began to activate, and disarming it under such circumstances proved more of a challenge than the party could properly face. They were forced to retreat, save for Wicked, who stayed behind in a final attempt to mitigate the effects of the explosion. His attempts were successful, and the resulting damage was greatly reduced from what it might have been, but it came at cost of his life.

Without the leadership of the Seeker, the invading elementals were slowly repelled from the city, ending the invasion.
