KU 10 - Outgrow, Outsmart

Session
May 4, 2019

Setup

The party finished investigating the Kaviani Outpost, and Kyrion met what seems like his father, warning him that he is in danger, after which Kyrion awakened his Aasimar powers for the first time. The party travelled back to Port Giza, parting ways with Onóra, and gave Wardina the weapons they could collect. She gave Kyrion a new chain mail with the symbol of Port Giza on it. The part investigated Gulyar's death, only to find out that his body wasn't buried by Thea. Learnt that Amin's right hand Nuxiala probably emptied the outpost of the good magical items, and that Azarah is interested in seeing her out of the picture. Ended the session with the goal of breaking into Gulyar's home early in the morning.

Locations

  • Port Giza
    • Loyal Peck Inn
    • Guarisson
    • Library
    • Shadow Cave.
    • Gulyar's home
      • Hidden diary about his love affair with Kasto's wife, the half-elf Dina. Kasto apparently found out and has become threatening/was enraged.

NPCs

  • Mando Kassis - male human 35 (german, smirk)
    •  
  • Wardina - female human 30 (german, tired)
    • Ready to start with Kyrion's training.
  • Azarah Aleen - male elf criminal (french, evasive)
    • Heard that the party is proving resourceful. If they are still interested in work (he doesn't know they ambushed the cargo), he would like them to take care of a problem in his foot: Armin's Men
      • One of Armin's main goones is a dragonborn female called Nuxiala, which Azarah suspects of being involved in the attack: she's the only one who could navigate a booby trapped boat.
      • If the party can take her out of the picture, he offers them each 20 GP and free drinks in his bar as long as they are working together.
  • Arman Granitcloak - male dwarf, druid/healer (scottish, excited)
    • The new potion is ready.
  • Maurice Jasan - male human middle-aged, slight french accent
    • The librarian of Port Giza. Person with knowledge about the world. Works at the Kemali Library.
    • If the players come to him with the emblem of the Org, the library was sadly broken in shortly after the first attacks and they stole a lot of book. He does have a few hidden at his home, but it could get him in trouble with the mayor of this fact was known. He can be convinced if the party can do some investigative work for him.
      • His friend Gulyar was killed in the first attack on the village by a stray arrow. Maurice found the whole situation weird, he could never see the body and wasn't given much info by the guards.
      • He wants the party to investigate, or at least know where the body is buried.
        • Priest / Grave Digger Thea Golsin knew of Gulyar, didn't know he was killed, thought he left the city after the first attack. Was not brought to be burried.
        • Guards will need some bribing (why would they give out some info?) killed by friendly fire? by a rival Kasto who knew Gulyar was sleeping with his wife. Low on manpower so can't afford to lose one of their strong fighters. Body buried in a mass grave of 20 people who were killed that night outside of the village in a cave.
    • Bring back the info to Maurice, he will want justice, but he'll take care of it. The players gathered the info he needed.
      • The symbol is a military organisation, the Order of Masaran a prince Masaran bin Arslan of the Haddad family.
      • Why they would attack the island? No idea. They are powerful. If they wanted to take it over, they could have. 
  • Estadan Sarlah
    • After Wardina's quest: Finally has time for the party, thanks them for all they've done to help the people, the city guard.
    • Wants to hire them for scouting missions against the enemy. The guards are frightened, and the people in Sinaskari don't want to help.
    • Thanks the party for having info on the org, this will help tremendously for gathering allies.... but also scare people from helping them.
    • Wants them to map out any camps that the org has on the hill (northern) part of the island, and scout out the town of Mivor.
    • "we have to be faster and smarter than them"
  • Nuxiala (female dragonborn, rough)
    • She is currently in the shadow cave and attached one of her crew members, a female human named Talori to a chair in the cave to be eaten by the Ghouls. Talori failed to steal some documents related to the town's guard stock of weapons and tried to run away from Port Giza, but she was caught.
    • Nuxiala will appear (along with two goons) and give the party a chance to not meddle in Amin's affairs, before attacking. None of them will fight to the death and would rather come back with reinforcements.
    • She has on her:
      • Cloak of Grace, Allows user to cast feather fall once per day, billows majestically at all other times. On natural 1 rolls the cloak will get caught in something.
      • Handaxe of Detect Magic: When activated, will detect itself and shed dim light for 10 ft.
      • Potion of Stealth: Gives the drinker advantage on stealth checks for the next hour. 

Encounters

  • Shadow Cave: attacked by 1 Ghoul and 2 Shadows + 2 skeletons?
  • If the party fail to find a quest, they meet a very friendly puppy. The owner lets them pet it. The owner is Saladin, a bugbear who has been taking care of the dog for a month since the owner and friend Derin (female) disappeared while hunting.
