38 - The Caves of Isolation

June 17, 2018

Goal

  • Cure Cassandra and her brother George.
  • Travel to Eager's Cliff, talk with Thomas, find Harazi.

Setup

The party just finished defeating the Yuan-ti Anathema after a fight that may have been harder or easier because of misunderstood rules (fear vs frightened). Cassandra's statue is still in the cave (leomund's tiny hut) with an alarm around it to protect it.

Locations

  • Eager's Cliff
    • Small village in the hill-side, close to the mountains. Assissi/Orvieto vibe.
  • Wilmington (Benetict)
    • Small village with the Basilisk problem. During the rest, hear huge beastly cries (the mother lost her children), with the mother now crying after feeling her children slain. Cries cause tremors.
  • Caves of Isolation
    • The entrance lies in the mountains half a day's walk from the town of Eager's Cliff. It's up in the mountains, and an entrance in the mountain side is hidden behind some bushes and far from the beaten path.
    • Various caves and challenges
  • Howling Waterfalls
    • Fresh air, bright light, brenn mountain goats are native to this area.

NPCS

  • Cassandra Finch (female human, tsundere)
    • Petrified. Will find her master Michael in pieces in the basilisk lair, but her brother George is still intact.
    • Lost her bag with 3 diamonds each worth 300gp during the fight against the basilisks.
  • Thomas Brokhill (male halfling, higher pitched voice, serious tone)
    • Warned of the player's arrival. Following orders. Doesn't want problems from them in the city, NO DRUGS, doesn't want that shit here.
  • Vaeri (female drow, amnesia, otherwise hostile)
    • Magically asleep in the Caves. Confused and amnesiac when awakened.
    • Wants to go back to her brother (her only real meaning) and distrustful of Hilde (human) but not of others.

Encounters 

End of Session

Exited the cave with Vaeri as an amnesiac prisoner.
