Setup

The party has been caught up by royal guards who take the princess back to the castle, and bring the rest back to the city.

Hildegard: In her room locked up. She will have read about stuff.

Auron: Punished for failing to keep the princess in the city

Wolf: his vision is now mostly 80% black and white, but his darkvision is doubled in distance. Give him a vision of darkness, then waking up walking in the city in ash. He gets a glimpse of the party without him fighting off the orcs in the city. If he asks, the temple is missing from his vision.

Lex: Queen gives him 10 gold and 400 silver “Use it to get the information”

We find the party waiting outside a lobby room, with inside the Queen, King and Princess arguing.

Goals

• X Find and capture men of Othiria still in the city (Sam, Daven, Cotter and Halder)
• X Where did the rest of the army go?
• X Feel effects of the surge of mana
• Nameless Immortals. A teacher (Sven) and a female disciple (Sarah) weren’t found among the dead, but are nowhere to be found.

Activities

The King wants his daughter to grow and sees potential in her.

He asks her if she managed to get the herbs. If yes and presents them “Oh, that’s the smell of dry herbs you carry with you”.

He wants her to find out about the army in the pubs in the city. See how people were treated, try and find info about the army while they were here. Maybe visit the brothels too.

Bordel: The Red Skank. Talked to brigitte, bribed the owner to talk to her alone. She said that the men were a part mercenaries, and that they left in chaos. But they were searching for something and didn’t damage the temple.

Men of Othiria

Soldiers of Othiria are hiding in a tavern of the slum. Bribing among the soldiers can bring them that information (if they bribe them more than what the soldiers bribe them). They question them, and question their leader Sam (from Dulken) is in the city with about 40 men keeping an eye. He has direct orders from the King of Othiria. He has in total 200 men available.

After questioning them, they want to go and tell King Maximus, but the city is under attack by 20-30 orcs. As the players finish the fight, 150 cavalry from Rivandol lead by arrive and slay the remaining Orcs. 300 infantry will be there in a few days.

Next session

• Find reason to leave the city / actually leave the city
• More info on the orcs? (find someone like the crazy woman in Attack on Titan that is obsessed with studying the titans)
• Convince the king and queen that they can leave the city (get potions?)
• Wolf should see Hilde’s sister for his condition.
• (Magic items? Gold?)
