Session
Ardenian Heritage 2019-05-26

Goals

Investigate the Broken Bones Coven. Find out more about Habor (Zook knows he is in a prison of Griestein). Travel to Kinros to the Silver Towers.

Setup 57 - A Child's Plan

The Party travelled to the Brightstone Mines, encountering Yvonne Copperear on her way to with a delivery. They took her carriage and brought the kids to safety, waking up one of them named "Bernd" which is soon turning 13. He only remembers being on his way to school and nothing else. The party ambushed the guards at the Mine entrance, went inside and discovered more malnourished children. Fought against a wizard named Witold, killing him, and encountering Veronica who revealed her mission to save the kingdom. She agreed to travel to Arcastle with the party to talk to the king.

Dion left Lex a letter informing him about a portal to the Nine Hells near the town of Kerlau, a heavily guarded portal called the Gates of Hell.

Locations

NPCS

  • Veronica Korsch (female half-elf paladin, calm, strong)
    • Uses some sending stones to contact some of the people working for her to send the children to Arcastle instead.
    • Wonders why Habor is no longer answering.
  • Maximus (male human noble, friendly to the party)
    • Will default to Dion and Lex's opinion on the matter about saving the children. Gives Lex and Auron as a Paladin of the Kingdom carte-blanche to organise what they need. "It's what Hilde would want"
    • Regarding Veronica, conflicted. A punishment is required for kidnapping children and slaying them, but understands the gravity of the situation. Didn't believe her back then (an advisor of the king of a descendant of Veronica's father and she, Wendelgard Korsch, hates her).
  • Aaron Bahr
    • Created 5 maps to locate the children, and is working on 15 more.
  • Sister Imelda
    • Prepare a Dagger for Quinn. Whoever is killed with is on the material plane will have their soul sent to the nine hells. If they travel to the nine hells and kill that person again there, their soul will be forever trapped in the nine hells with no possibility of escaping. The dagger is called the Soul Binder.
  • Myria
    • We can't abandon the children, Pelor sees every life as sacred. We can't abandon them, must find a solution.
    • One of Pelor's relics, Pelor's Shield, could be used to cleans the fey from the children.
    • It is protected by Lady Alison Cunningham of the Silver Towers, in Kinross, capital of Rivandol.
  • Habor Grief
    • If scried on, if chained up with burn marks on his torso, unconscious in a dungeon.
  • Alison Cunningham
    • Will greet the party as a child at the bottom of the towers and take them up the stairs, asking questions.
    • Once upstairs (a good half an hour later), she will ask the party to wait while she gets ready. Will walk behind a thick curtain and come out as her 20 year old self and ask her what she can offer them.
    • She is bored and will be interested in a fight against the party. If they outsmart her, she will give them the item they request.
    • Go crazy on the power level to push the party to their limits. Fight smart.
  • Grace Eleanore Hurley (human female, old, kind and gentle)
    • Greets the party into Kinros, "the greatest city of the world". Offers them lodging in her estate in the outer city.
    • Was the one that pushed for matheos and elena to marry, and feels guilty for it. Glad his new wife is faring better.
    • Happy to gossip about her old rival Barbara, an aweful woman.
    • Can provide assistance in regards to access to the Silver Towers.
