Goal
- Find leads on Harazi and where to find him.
- Define some minis for each player?
Setup
Party travelled to Midmar in Dulken. Met with tavern owner Victoria Fraiser, drunkun adventurer Cassandra Finch, local hero and friendly tiefling Dushkan Kona, and a mysterious elf selling 160 gold worth of drugs. Participated in the archery tournament of the festival of the sea in the evening: 1st place Norik, 2nd Levin, 7th and nearly killing someone drunk Cassandra. Auron and Hilde meet with Dushkan, Hilde reads his mind and sees Vaeri asking Dushkan about Harazi 3 weeks ago, but talks about Harazi's grand children still living in the city.
Party visits the house of Elisabeth Bennet during the night, with Hilde hiding a Midmar School of Magic symbol on her house.
Locations
- Midmar
- Clear sky, light breeze, nice weather for the pilgrimage to start.
- Midmar Castle
- Mix of styles from all the owners, but each room mostly sticks to one style. Recent style is cold and simple.
- Eager's Cliff
- Small village in the hill-side, close to the mountains. Assissi/Orvieto vibe.
- Abandonned village
- On the party's way to Eager's Cliff, if need to buy time.
- Abandoned village but the church's tower is still standing and something is lit.
- Wilmington (Benetict)
- Small village with the Basilisk problem.
NPCS
- Dushkan Kona (male tiefling, friendly, deep voice, slavic accent)
- Followed the party as they went to Eli's place. Asks to be followed to talk in private.
- Eli and Joshua won't be much help.
- The queen knows everything, and what she doesn't, Joshua will. Best bet is to meet with the queen. Party should be ready to negotiate.
- Suggests the party tried and gets an audience with the Queen the next day, or at least Joshua.
- Owena Yarwood (female human, cold, cercei voice, oxford accent)
- Has the party arrested for buying drugs (Kevin works for her). Brought directly to her for "Dinner".
- Knows the party has been asking for Harazi (she has ears everywhere). Joshua is present and advises her. Kevin is brought in to confirm that Levin bought drugs from him. "Yes my Queen, those are the people I sold 'drugs' to."
- Asks the party what they are really here for.
- She has the upper hand, as the party committed two crimes: Forged fake documents to travel to the kingdom, and bought drugs.
- Will set them free in exchange for a treaty allowing her son Morcan Yarwood to study in Rosen when he turns 12, with a guard of 15 knights to protect him.
- If they ask about Harazi, has Joshua leave the room which makes him furious (he protests). Harazi is hiding in the Brenn Horns (mountains). The party should travel to Eager's Cliff and ask for the garrison leader Thomas Brokhill. Asks them not to tell Harazi's grand children of his whereabouts.
- Elisabeth Bennet (female human, hesitant, standard female voice, manchester accent)
- Found the symbol as she can feel magic, and found the party. Was at the archery tournament disguised and saw Hilde using magic.
- If convinced, informs that she tried contacting her grand father several times as an adult, but was never successful. Doesn't resent him for what happened, and hopes to see him one day, but guess he is dead. Never seen him in her life, but her parents were killed when when she was 12 (28 years ago) by people who hated Harazi after learning that they are related. Doesn't blame her grand father.
- Cassandra Finch (female human, tsundere, female voice, northumberland accent)
- In the tavern, sobered up, excuses herself for the day before, and thanks Hilde for fixing her mistake (shooting arrows while drunk).
- Asks for forgiveness, but also asks if the party could help her avenge her fallen brothers. She lost her best friends, her brothers, her masters (kind of like they lost Lex), and isn't strong enough to defeat them alone. The basilisks are in a small village on the way to Southport, where the party are headed anyway. The party can decide to help or not.
- If there is no encounter in the tavern, have her follow the party on her horse, and ask for the same things.
- Joshua Bennet
- Blames Harazi for his parent's death. Doesn't know his location, as he would send assassins. Owena keeps harazi as a bargaining chip.

Fought off the 4 basilisks, Cassandra petrified. Took her + another whole status to a safe space to full rest. Levin leveled up.
