Locations
- Malden
- Fields and small hamlets everywhere with controlled forest.
- The town is surrounded by defensive stone wall with a big church in the middle of the town.
- Guards at the entrance, no problem with Lex, Levin and Auron's insigna.
- Stone pavement, this place has money. More signs of the "Riesmann family" than Arden.
- A quarter of the city is Rieswagen factories, and another quarter associated businesses.
- Der Silbene Zahn - tavern owned by the Riesmann family
- Traumgeschichte - book store
- First floor normal novels, upper floor the good magic stuff
- Might try and sell smut to Auron and
- Laida's house
- Lives with another woman named
- Town Hall
- Beautiful building build 200 years ago but renovated 10 years ago.
- Rieswagen Stables
- Her colleague who she lives with (Sabrina?) hasn't seen her in a week
NPCS
- Habor Grief (male tiefling, 45, reserved, anxious)
- At first anxious when he sees zook with other people, thinking they are here for questions about what happened in Griesstein
- Once he figured out the truth, happy to see his old buddy.
- Will know of a tiefling in town but under the name Laida Asllani but hasn't seen her in a while (lying). She worked at the Rieswagen stables.
- Badolin (young dwarven male, 18)
- Just started his business with the help of the Riesmann bank. Moved here a few months ago from a small village nearby.
- Not many tieflings around town, but there is one called Habor that owns a small book shop down the street.
- Another gala tonight at the Town Hall organised by Lady Barbara Lexer. Invitation only and for important people.
- Sabrina (middle-ages female human, friendly, worried about her friend)
- If the party are convincing, will invite them to come investigate her room, as her shift just ended.
- Worried for her friend, she's known her for 8 years. Laida never talks about her past, but mentioned once a few years ago that someone might still be after her.
- Barbara Lexer (noble female human, condescending, impatient)
- Very happy to see Ramos, won't stop talking about his amazing wine
- Kind of racist to Tieflings (doesn't approve of Auron's presence, "it's sad that a demon is so close to such a lovely girl like the princess)
- Doesn't care about the missing tiefling, but will ask Ramos and Lex to stay, there will be another gala financed by the lovely Paulus in three days.
- Paulus Riesmann (human male, 48, ambitious, friendly to nobility)
- Richest man in Malden, owns most of the industry
- Very busy but will have some time for Lex (close to nobility)
- Laida has been missing for a week.
Encounters
- RP with Habor
- Investigate Arlinda's identity and whereabouts.
- DC 15 investigation in the home: find love letters between Laida and Habor
- DC 20: they had a date on the evening she didn't come back
- DC 25: letter from Dion from 3 years ago but it's encrypted. DC 20 intelligence check to decypher it "He's 18 now, it's only fair that he gets to know the truth. My damned brother should no longer be a danger. I will continue protecting you, but please consider meeting with your son."
- RP at the gala. Ramos has been invited in the past, can be invited again with some connections.
- Fight during the night as the party hears screaming, someone is getting kidnapped and some beasts were summoned to hide the tracks.
- Fight below the book store in the caves against a boneclaw
