Previous Session
Players met the King of Othiria, got attacked. The king tried to take Hilde’s necklace, but Auron could escape with it. Hilde and Lex were captured, but saved by Jake, who is working with people from Redford with Dalton and Jaddon. Went to a house where Jaddon is waiting for them.
Setup 20:00
The players are in the house with Jaddon Frey.
Activities
Revolution
Jaddon is with his guard/friend, and will tell the players he is here to get people to join the revolution for his idea of a new type of government, controlled by the people. He realises that the King trying to imprison the princess means war, so he asks how he can protect the people of Othiria who are against the King.
The house gets attacked in the evening by 3 Shadow Demons (mm64, 6600xp) controlled by someone else. If the monsters don’t work, 3 Knights + 1 half-red dragon veteran (mm180, 7’800xp) will attack them “for the king of Othiria, Bathair MacPhaiden!”. They should probably kill them, or they will report to the king.
One of the diplomats, now also there, tells Maxi that the prisoner was spotted in Redford, so he’s probably still in the city, so he should travel with the party.
Redford
(21:30) Once back in Redford, the party can have a meeting directly with Dalton and Seathan. Reports say that King Maximus von Rosenberg say he is on his way with a small regiment of about 800 men, and has told Sethan to not resist, and he will be there in one day. He says his brother has crossed a line that will destroy the country with this action.
Lex made a 60 gp donation to the Shrine of Pelor in Redford.
(22:45) When the party meets Maximus, he will give a letter to Auron from his Father regarding Charlie and her dead son (who he helped leave Redford because he was caught in some criminal work, and to protect his mother from harm he fled to Dulken).
Maximus will ask the players the whole situation, and then meet with Sethan. He wants to punish Bathair for hurting his daughter, a diplomatic envoy, and the nonsense of the peace deal.
Maximus have Levin as guard for this mission, and takes Levin with him to meet Seaphan.
Sethan at this point will agree to side with the rebels. They talk about essentially a Parliamentary Monarchy (King exists but has a lesser role in the management of the kingdom).
Maximus is okay to not cause harm to Othiria if the king is dealt with fast, and that the new government of Othiria is an ally of Arden.
After everyone agrees to work together, the next step is to take care of the mad king. To seal the support of Arden in the people of Othiria, They should go with Sethan to take care of the king, and use force if needed. Sethan will declare himself the new king of Othiria and propose an elected parliament who takes care of politics.
At that point, an envoy comes in and warns “8’000 Thasslian men have crossed the border and are walking towards Drunah”.
Thasslian Situation
Since the players have shown themselves worthy of Diplomatic missions, Maximus sends them to Drunah anyway, with the goal of taking care of the king, and finding out what Thasslia’s goals are. Thasslia and Othiria have no real peace treaty, and none of the girls with the king was Thasslian nobility. So Hilde should be able to haven audience. She should contact Maximus with her power as soon as they have info. Dion will be sent into Thasslia to find out more.
