Cobwebs of Esterson Hall

Esterson Session 24

I don’t like how this is going, especially if we’re in need of the Thomter’s assistance. I cannot deny their expertise with the Averse despite the fact they were molded by it. It is why they will be leading us to where this telepathic secret weapon is.   According to them, it will take us to the Carved Paths. Those are old pathways used during the Incursion. Such a festering maze is full of demons and other festering creatures. We will want General Lenhall’s aid for this because I doubt Vicarion will want to lose his precious monstrosity. — Evantil

Session 22

A creeping visitor comes for the Hall and House Sarter makes a visit for Elema!

Sessions 20 and 21

A bonus to be sure yet a welcome one

Esterson Session 19

Direson is under threat by Vicarion!

Esterson Session 18

Oh dear... Where has Johan gone?

Esterson Session 17

Decided to brave the Western Wastes, have you? I can only deter you so much from going to that wretched place. An effort to find the parents of Antharine and Anthell is respectable but I fear what has become of them as indentured servants to one of the few inferiin households. Not to mention that this insight was bestowed by a vician, nonetheless.   My best guess is that House Palran are the ones who have our Candescents’ parents. They are the newest and weakest of the households. Schemes and dirty tricks are what they use to accumulate enough power in order to “better match in strength” as inferiin put it. I hope you are ready for a whole new repugnant world because you will see why I left it.   — Elema Sarter

Esterson Session 16

The Inquisition has done a follow up about the Phantom's mask that was given to them. They suspect that there's a cult for Alkaran in Dirson, a western town in Dulnmoor. What makes this all the more uneasy for both Esterson and the Inquisition is that a shade of Sidresk gave these details.   Arnsley Dorian is keen to be of assistance to root out any Maledian influence. Know this: Dealing with Alkaran's following is probably the most heart-wrenching compared to the other Overlords. Because the light of the Reverie doesn't help everyone, those in the dark often up wind up in a Vician's grasp.

Esterson Session 15

Inferiin. Always dabbling in trickery and foul artistries. Their recent schemes have been supplying orc warlords with poisons that have been giving them the edge against the Hulstead defenders. The poison is easy to cure but the problem is that more wounded are getting in the infirmary than they are getting out. So, your goal is go up north and coordinate with Martial Olmhart. From there, he can guide you as a strike force to stop those inferiin cretins from doing any more harm. I hope you all have strong resolves for something like this.

Esterson Session 13

We all have monsters that follow us. Some real, some personal. Johan’s, however, is one where a tragedy had turned a person into a monster. I have coordinated with our secret informant and they have informed me that the Phantom is blessed by Alkaran in this personal quest for revenge. Johan cannot do this alone. Never trust a Maledian to fight fair and I can only expect that this Phantom will fight viciously to get what he wants. Get to the southern parts in the Town of Halmenfield. I dread thinking this will only end where it all started. — Welma Reedacre

Esterson Session 12, Masquerade

A masquerade in Castle Loic. An invitation was sent by Sir Farbridge of the Knights of Hearth.

Esterson Session 11

Of all the fates our Savvy Strays had to go through, Bremigan had to be the most surprising to me. Our secret informant tells me that he lives with his mother down in the Town of Tillersdale. Thankfully it’s another valley town so you need not worry about winding mountain paths.   I’m informed that if our informant so easily found our dwarf, they worry the vicians, especially those tied to Vicarion, will seek to harm him. If anything, we ought to reach him first before those fiends do. — Welma Reedacre

Esterson Session 10

I have done all I could to investigate into this Petton Dyrovius figure. The problem is that he has very few records within Renaki’s University. The most we know about him officially is that he has provided new insights and teachings that helped push our understanding of the planar worlds.   I’m always one to be skeptical of clients. Especially a powerful one such as Dyrovius. He wants us to find his spellcasting dog that went missing in an unknown temple. Quite frankly all of this sets both me and Remus uneasy. Stay watchful of whatever comes next. Even Cardinal Atticus doesn’t like him.

Esterson Session 9

Roden have always unnerved me. That is why it makes it all the more easier for me to say this that they have been a problem within the town of Dusterson. It is a valley town within the Province of Kalgarim with many farmers. Typically the Civil Guard can handle the situation but they have been dealing with more roden than they would like. It is suspected that a den could be involved. Dealing with their pack leader should cause the cowardly creatures to scatter. Though, the first step is to even find such a thing in the first place. I’d be more worried if the leader is found outside of it.

Esterson Session 7

The Beach Episode!

Esterson Session 6

Our mysterious helper is at it again, I'm afraid. This time, with news about Sen. Turns out he has been living in squalor within the Bruiser Bear Tavern. Apparently he gets paid being a regular fighter for free lodging and food.   Our contact mentions that vicians are involved similar to Emoru's predicament. Those fiends will have the advantage against that twig getting roughed up in there. It would mean a lot if you rescued him as you did with Emoru. Just don't tell her about this.

Esterson Session 5

That Inquisitor you met earlier, Arnsley Dorian, has come to us for a request strangely enough. He says that one of the caels within their facility mentions that a holy site on the small Rested Isle has been fading and needs assistance. Because it's an overseas voyage, I know full well he gets seasickness and can't hide that fact. So he's come to us to be his substitution.   Your task is to escort the cael named Tiltren. You will first meet Inquisitor Dorian in the City of Ridgewater where he will transfer the duty to you. From there, keep Tiltren safe and let the cael restore the site. Should be easy enough. At least I hope...

Session 4: Abandonment in the Astral Clocktower

The price of knowledge is a strong temptation for the followers of Renaki. With our latest request, it may as well be easier to have sacrificed their peer just for a mundane textbook and save us all the trouble. Because these idiots went into the Astral Clocktower, a Precursor ruin with unpredictable effects, they now come to seek our aid.   You are requested to go in and find their friend, or at least, what remains of them. Before we have the same predicament on our hands, please, do not touch ancient mechanisms you do not know! The Precursors were brilliant geniuses back in the day but their genius work has now eroded. So do be careful. And also get a souvenir while you're at it. — Welma Reedacre

Session 3: Kidnapping in Alsarelle

When news about our Esterson Hall's revival came to light within Hearth, a cobbler burst through our doors. Poor sod clutched at my legs begging for our aid. Once Welma calmed his nerves through a few mugs, he was mostly coherent.   From what we understand, his daughter was kidnapped by wood elves in broad daylight. He is uncertain what motive they could have considering she has visited those woodlands countless times before without hassle. So it's up to you folks to head out to Haliah and see why these Temporal elves have a change of heart.

Session 2: Carnival Carnage in Kalaura

I hate seeing this request but it's probably going to save quite a lot of lives. I am given word that there is a problem afoot with the Carnival of Kalaura. Specifically, there is rumor of sabotage on the Aerial Minstrels. The details suggest that it's going to happen while the show is going on. Who is requesting this? Someone I am still uncertain about.   I don't care what happens to that event. Stop the show from happening, get the locals away, whatever it takes. It is suggested that Maledict could be behind it and I would be asking a lot from you to undertake this.
