Previous Session
Characters attacked killed members of The Vex Crypt who were performing a ritual on Pelor’s Heart. The players were too late and Pelor’s Dagger was poisoned by the ritual, and Pelor’s heart stabbed, poisoning his heart and killing his presence on this plane of existence.
Characters defeated the cultist behind the ritual (Death Slaad). Hildegard purified the blade and cut out Lex’s heart for it to become the new vessel of Pelor. She placed the heart back in Lex’s dead body and sealed it up with cure wounds.
Activities
Pelor’s Cave
Sending doesn’t work.
Lex’s body start to have a golden hue. Travel with the Arakora and Balix the Tiefling to the exit, where their boats were destroyed but the Cultists boats are usable.
Characters can check on the Tiefling that brought them to the island. He is dead, and two Veterans who are keeping guard in case the party survives. They won’t fight to the death but escape once badly hurt. One of them tries to grab Hilde. Have her do a wisdom saving throw with a DC 35. On fail, she casts her vampiric touch spell on the guy.
With them gone, they can destroy the beacon that blocks sending, and travel back to Porthclaw.
Porthclaw / Rosen
The characters can skip to Porthclaw where they part with their new friends. Kazra says that the characters should visit Feahter Island sometime.
Try and buy a coffin, but no nice ones. Fight two veterans from the sunless sunset (see logo, and find letter on one “if the princess somehow survives, report back to me”).
William frey goes to Rosen to find the party eating in the evening, say he will travel with them back to Arcastle, and hire the best bards in Arden, no thaelia to write the best songs about Master Lex!
Auron prays and gets a hint to a book about Harazi, and Hilde gives him a necklace.
On way to Arcastle, attacked by 2 Xorn.
Prince of the night visits the Princess. Session end.
Maximus is devastated, and wants to organize a grand ceremony in Lex’s honour, for his sacrifice and saving Pelor. He sends the players to Myria to organise the ceremony and what to do for Pelor.
Myria will want to keep Lex in the temple to protect the vessel. If they ask about the dwarf in the underground, he was last vessel of Pelor for the last 600 years. She will ask about the ritual, who did this, what happened. She doesn’t know where they got the Knife of Pelor, since it was hidden (Dion also didn’t know since he isn’t a believer). The knife is used to transfer vessels. Maybe keep it on another plane of existence (Tormaa?) might not be a good idea either...
King of the Night
Hilde will contact the king of the night to ask for help. He will visit her and say that he knows of a way. But a life can only be brought back with another life. If she says he died for Pelor, then he will say a god’s life is worth a thousand lives… But it is possible, with the right ritual, and the right people, to bring him back…
=> Convince her to sacrifice 200 children and 20 elves (but it’s probably to add to his army)
