39 - Harazi the Secluded

June 24, 2018

Goal

  • Talk with Harazi, learn out about the ritual
  • Analyse options for the reptilian egg

Setup

The party completed the trials of the Caves of Isolation. They can now see what appears to be an old man sitting in a rocking chair on his porch.

Locations

  • Howling Waterfalls
    • Fresh air, bright light, brenn mountain goats are native to this area.
    • Gusts of wind producing the howling sound.

NPCS

  • Harazi (male human, old, old wizard à la Darin De Paul)
    • On the front porch of his stone house. In a rocking chair pretending to sleep. Old and fragile.
    • When the players touch him, "poof" smoke. 1 clay golem appears from behind a waterfall and 2 water elementals from another.
    • Once the enemies are defeated, a waterfall stops and a door appears behind it.
    • He comes out, doesn't want to be bothered, but will hear them out by inviting them inside his house for some herbal and goat milk tea (it's horrible and super strong). He casts unseen servant to do the work. His house is also in a "mansion" à la Scanlin.
    • Questions the party's motivation to ask him. "He's an elf and smells of Frynia, sure you're not an assassin?" (a bit paranoid)
    • Doesn't want to talk of the past. Lost all his friends from that time, including his wife (the Elves kidnapped her to force him to help, and eventually she succumbed to the famine)
    • Talks to the servants a lot.
    • Knows that something has happened to Pelor, Ioun has bothered him with visions about it.
    • Will help if they do two things for him: Tell him how his grand children are doing, and leave him alone.
    • Asks questions about Lex. If learns that he's an elf: will need more convincing to help.
    • Info about his grand children help him.
    • Will need a big creature's fresh eggs. Harazi might suggest the following:
      • Basilisks? Too small
      • Owlbears? Too small too for an Elf
      • Dragons? Yuan-ti might be easier.
      • Wyvern would do the trick. There are Wyverns in the Black Range Mountains, the Brenn Horns. Fighters in Owlchester have Wyvern Riders as well.
    • Wuba the prisoner yuan-ti is rotting in a cell in Arden.
    • Will Greater Restoration on Vaeri to wake her up
    • - party got his help. He fixed Vaeri and kicked her out. Hilde gave him rosen flower petals, norik a lichi beer.
  • Vaeri
    • Still amnesic, wants her brother to help her. Can't see in sunlight.
    • If restored: need a minute to process all the info coming back to her. Con save if she falls unconscious again.
    • If still awake: Well this is awkward. And you have new friends I see. How did the Elf become younger?
    • -> doesn't know about Pelor's thing, wasn't there. Obviously not a fan of Pelor. Taegan was to teach the players a lesson for messing in their affairs in Othiria.

Encounters 

  • Fight in the Howling Waterfalls
  • RP with Harazi
  • RP with Vaeri?

Talked with Harazi, he gave the scroll to Hilde and taught her how to use it. Vaeri was restored and kicked out, she fled as raven with Norik trying to kill her with arrows. Hilde contacted Maximum for info about Owlchester. Zook stays. Harazi teleported the party to Owlene, in front of the Aura Gate. Caused a commotion, taken into questionning with Hannelore on her way.

End of Session

Harazi identified a cat statue with jade eyes for Hilde.
