During the last session, the party travelled from Pelor’s Rest to Porthclaw, parted ways with Kazra and the others. Bought a coffin while waiting for Matheos to come to Porthclaw. Fought two goones of Vaeri. In Arden, Auron prays while Hilde tries to revive Lex and steal gems. Meat up with William Frey. Travel the next day to Arcastle, but attacked by two Xorn on their way. In Arcastle, King Maximus is devastated. Lex’s body kept in the temple, secured. Hilde gets visited by the king of the night while Auron is outside of her bedroom.
Activities
King of the Night
“So my Princess, it seems like we are not alone”
He goes back to the window, and offers one hand to the princess.
“Shall we?”
They will both transform into bats, but Hilde doesn’t have control. They fly for about 15 minutes out of the city to the top of an old watch tower in a small village.
He asks what her problem is, and what he can do to help. He’s curious and wants to use this to gain control over her, or use her popularity to strengthen his army. He says 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…
He wants to convince her to sacrifice 100 children aged 10 and over, as well as Auron. The children is to add to his army (by taking them young, he can improve his effectiveness on them). Auron isn’t to die, but become a servant of the king of the night. This is to get back at Dion and hurt him.
If Hilde wants to know the name of the king of the night, he will say “you can call me King, princess”
The Brother
The next day, a messenger from the king gets the party, says a man claiming to be family of Lex is here to get his body. Elven customs want the body of elves to come back to Frynia to be burnt and remembered, even if they haven’t lived there ever in their lives.
Since Lex sacrificed himself to save a god, maybe rules can be changed… But the party will have to explain it to the Runekeepers in Aavoch. They will have to go as a diplomatic mission.
Went to see the corpse. 5 yuan-ti paid to kill Lex. Adulous, a small fat human with black hair and a black moustache paid them to kill Lex. Contract was from the same day, for 500 gold. Yuan-ti from a valley in the black range (lizardmen fighting the hill giants). One survived (Wuba), is captures, interrogated, and sent for a fair trial.
