Activities
Random stuff
Everyone ate stuff from Dion. Hilde gives Clementine 28 gold for the dress, and 10 gold as a donation to the city.
Nameless Immortals
The players have the letter. They need dispel magic to read it (the lemons were just a distraction). They can feel a faint magic coming from the letter.
A carriage with a delivery will come in two days. Your new instructions will be with them.
Dust hasn’t appeared yet, and the neighbours saw them last the day before, but not today. Investigating at the gates say that a carriage from Rosen arrived for them two days ago, but they haven’t collected it. With a bit of bribing, they can find it. There are food rations, clothes, empty books and stuff to write, and a symbol of the Nameless Immortals, that no one recognises. Inside is a letter with the same mechanism as the previous one.
Your supplies for the month. Send your report to “Rosarium”.
- Nomine Immortales
One of the book is actually about “Shrinking magic” and talks about shrinking items and experiments done to shrink buildings and creatures. It also mentions that the item doesn’t keep its original weight.
Lex will know Rosarium as the old name for the town of Rosen. If the party wishes to go to Rosen, they should consult with the king, who will give them:
- 2 potions of healing
- 20 gold each
- 1 cure poison potion
- A letter for the King of Rosen to Hildegard.
Dearest Daughter,
I am so proud to see you grow up, and even if the idea of not seeing you every day hurts me terribly, I know that you can now protect yourself, as well as have good friends that will help you.
Come back to me safely.
- With all the love in the world, your Father.
Dion
Dion has been sent out on a mission to find the flaming scimitar, mentioning to the king that he has an idea who might have it.
Eboncrest
Play “The City Falls” by Wesnoth
As the party heads to Rosen and arrive a top of a hill that gives a beautiful view over the town of Eboncrest, Hilde knows this will be a great resting point before going on to Batter and Rosen. The king has a summer house here, so it will be a comfortable rest. However, from the top of the hill and looking down, all they see is burnt houses, corpses and desolation.
In the village, they find one survivor, who can only say “Goblin, Orcs, Monsters… Nearly a hundred… Enraged… They killed everyone and burnt everything… Except my daughter… They took her West...” and the person dies. Healing doesn’t help.
Tracks show that the orcs went in separate directions.
On their way further to Rosen, they encounter orcs wrecking a caravan in the middle of the road, it’s occupants already dead. 1xCR5 + 3xCR2 (1 hill giant and 3 orc shaman), or 4xCR4 (orc war chief).
Temple of Ar’Zagur
The players can try and save the daughter “Linda Torrent” from the orc. A survival check will lead them a strange temple. The girl is taken there for a sacrifice to revive an old powerful orc-king thing. The orcs are guarding the temple and waiting for midnight for the sacrifice. As soon as the players enter the final boss r6oom, the orcs cut her to bleed onto the tomb, reviving the boss. Or something. Improvise, you'll do fine!
Entrance protected by 10 Zombies (mm 316)
Pre-boss fight: A room with cages and a human girl (Erica, not Linda). Erica knows Linda was taken to another room.
4xCR4 : Orc war chief (mm 246)
Boss fight: A sacrifice room, Linda is naked attached on top of an altar.
1xCR5 Troll (mm 291) and 3xCR2 Orog (mm 247)
Loot:
After the fight, the girl casts mass healing, but doesn’t know where it’s from.
One bag of holding with the following inside:
- 2 Jade crystal (100gp each)
- 1 Ring of Mind Shielding (dmg 191, attunement)
- 1 Ring of Warmth (dmg 193, attunement)
- Mantle of Spell Resistance (dmc 180, attunement)
In the coffin, they find a crown with a strong curse on it.
Next Session
Auron took the crown (curse, but he can’t know)
Go to rosen, nameless immortals
Army of orc/goblins?
Matheos should be cold (Rob stark-ish): Family is really important, but goes his own way “Father is going to the wrong people for alliances.”. Matheos is a good fighter, already won several duals. Many people think he’ll be a good next king. More objective oriented. He loves his family, but the security of the realm is above all. A bit like Stanis, but wouldn’t lock his daughter up). Not super happy that Hilde fights. He sees Hilde’s flaw in her actions (with m y words and actions I bring shame to my family). He won’t just give up info to his sister, because she will bring more shame to his name. But not oblivious that she is close to the people. Hilde and Mathos hasn’t seen each other since 3-4 years. Bothers her “Still not married yet? What has father been doing”
