40 - The Gates of Owlchester

AR: Sessions
Ardenian Heritage
June 30, 2018

Goal

  • Get into the city of Owlchester
  • Find a way to get the Eggs

Setup

The party finally met with Hildegard Rosenberg how to use the Divine Revival scroll, and identified the cat statue for her (prepare). Once the talk was other, he teleported them in front of the Aura Gate in Owlchester, where the guards arrested them for questioning. The party requested the help of Hannelore Krampitz.

Locations

  • Owlchester
    • Aura Gate
      • Currently in the nicer waiting cell with two guards at the door. Fresh water provided for the party and some local grapes.
    • Bronze Square
      • Where the party might find a decent tavern.
    • Pelor's Cross
      • Ashen Sanctuary: Dusty, run down, hasn't seen any real work in a long time.
      • Members have felt re-energized with Tormaa's new strengh, but lack the funds to expand her influence

NPCS

  • Hannelore Krampitz (female human, soft voice, confused and startled)
    • Will spend some time with the party first figuring out what they want
    • Get them passage. She could have prepared some papers, but since it's under short notice.
    • Asks the players for 50 gold each for entry (valid 10 days), as she doesn't have the funds for this kind of things (and they want coin)
    • Gets the party released and organises her cart to bring them into the city centre with a tour if they want. 
    • Recommends the Black Whale Inn for decent quality, or the Golden Owl if they want the best that the city can offer.
    • As for the eggs, will recommend going to the Dragoon School and talking to the master Blanche Whitewood.
  • Blanche Whitewood (female half-orc, direct, powerful, intimidating)
    • Mistakes the team for new recruits "not quite the look we are going for, less extravagant"
    • Thinks the party is joking when they want a wyvern egg: They are her babies
    • They arrive here already hatched. Part of the ritual of becoming a rider is to collect your egg and help your wyvern grow.
    • She is absolutely not, under any condition, allowed to give out the information where they find them. 
    • If the players insist, she will get up, check the door that no one is listening, and tell the party about her predicament. If they help her out, she'll help them out and turn a blind eye.
    • The President wants to stop using wyverns? Or something that would jeoperdise her and her colleagues work. She wants the players to stage something to change his mind?
      • For ex, announce that Arden will start using Wyverns, and sell them to other kingdoms?
  • Nathanyell Boddinham (human male, stoic, charming, falls in love with the princess)
    • Will recognise Auron, and eventually seek him for a Duel "for tormaa, and for Hilde's heart"
    • Once defeated maybe will consider converting to Avalyra.
    • Renounce leadership to Pava Lovell for his blindsightedness.

Encounters 

  • RP with Hannelor
  • RP with Blanche
  • Learn about the city
  • Auron fight with Nathanyell, RP keep him as a warrior of Tormaa.
