Activities
Redford 18h00
Before they leave, child comes to Lex and gives him a letter. Callum Pryde titles himself “Heir to the Kingdom of Herun”. The letter has his secret identity logo.
> Still safe to go with Sethan? They can go and talk to him in his room in the castle. If they do, three arrows (crossbow) smash through the window and hits him in the heart. They can heal him, but he is hurt. “Catch them”.
Lex jumps out of the window and takes some guards with him. Other guards and a doctor come to Sethan, help the princess heal him, and take him to a secure place. Hilde and Auron run to lex, asking a guard to warn Maximus.
Lex takes two guards, and asks one to break open the door.
The players can follow their traces, they shot from a room on the 2nd level on top of a leather worker. He didn’t know anyone was inside. He heard some noises, and supposed it was the neighbor’s kids playing on the roof again.
In the room, there are no signs. Both front and back window are open. On back window, window was smashed to enter. Good investigation reveals a paper flying away because of the wind. Acrobatics roll to get it.
Whatsapp: “Take care of Sethan MacPhaiden and his children, and come back to Drunah. We’ll take care of his ....”, the rest is burnt off.
If they investigate further, some guards are found dead at the gate (same arrows, from above). Whoever it was, they have left.
> Liram’s house is empty. In the basement, the door is blocked from the other side. Him, his wife and their 2 sons all attached to chairs with arrows in their heads, and throats cut. It was done this morning, but too late to revive.
> Feram and Irlei were both seen found at the port, drowned this morning, but no arrows. Method is that used by the guy Askelaad is looking for.
> Ashlei is still alive in her house with her husband and 2 sons and 2 daughters. As they question her, they hear a noise from downstairs. This gives them a chance to catch one of the killers. He is wearing a dark red veil hiding most of his face below the eyes. He’s a tiefling named “Eurus”, and Lex recognises him. There was a wanted sign for him in Rosen a few years ago, he was killing families on the countryside, but was never caught, as he fled to Thasslia. He works for Callum Pryde, and was sent with 4 other assassins from Thasslia to take care of Sethan’s family. This doesn’t concern them. “Kill me now, or I’ll kill you and your family” he threatens. If they kill him in the basement, after a while a bat enters the room, and it’s the vampire. “Oh, it’s been a while since I had a tiefling! Here, 20 blood gold” for your donation, pics the tiefling up, and they transform into several bats and leave the room.
Auron finds on him a key (that is to a save in Craic bank, with 10k gold :-) )
Lex kill the tiefling once finished questioning him with Auron and Hilde. Sylken enters, thanks them, and tells the princess his name is “The King of the Night”.
Afterwards, go to Dalton to report about the 5 thieves, that they were all tieflings. Tell him about Callum’s claim on Herun, and that the assassins were to kill all people who could claim the throne. He asks the players, as neutral forces from another land, to go to Drunah. The army from Arden should also return, to avoid more damage. Hilde says Dalton and Sethan can always take asylum in Arden.
They go to Maximus to ask him to return to Arden. They convince the king to go back, ask about dion who says Thasslia has 12k men, and that perhaps the best route is to let Callum take Othiria, and attack afterwards.
