Session 070 - Temple Hijinks

General Summary

5th to 20th of Navek (Winter) 721TR

The story so far

During the events of the Battle of Sorrows, Quazzy's Warlock Patron Desridaen has lost a valuable Magical Flute, and he wants it back.

Quazzy and friends have decided to make a winter journey to the musical instrument's last known location, likely buried with Mearkis the Sorcerer, in Shobald's Tower in the Kingdom of Chybisa.

On the way the Heroes have arrived in City of Tashal and saved the life of the Bard, Ricard Thirlwell, from Assassin's wanting to steal his alleged Potions of Longevity. The heroes have determined that Senior Priestess Danisa, the Mistress of the Golden Banquet, at the local Church of Halea is responsible, and Ricard would like to see her punished.

Location - The City of Tashal in the Kingdom of Kaldor.

Part 1 - Dealing with The Bodies

The Heroes have found themselves in a side room of the Busted Nut tavern with two dead Assassins. Luckily, no one is aware of the fight, so they discreetly make their way out of the building. To explain the bodies, Quazzy creates the illusion of some undead monstrosity in the building. The party relocates to the nearby Iron Bell Inn.

Part 2 - Meeting with the Queen-Mistress

Ricard asks the party to investigate his lover, the Halean Acolyte Elysant (Ellie). She was involved with financing the creation of the Potions of Longevity, but was she involved with the plot to steal them?

Yureb, using his alter ego Boris, visits the Temple of Halea to arrange a personal religious service with the Acolyte so that she can be questioned in private. He meets with the Queen-Mistress of the Temple Silena Ekiar to make arrangements. The meeting went well, and the personal religious service was organized for that evening. He is also invited to the church's monthly Shesneala service held in a few days.

Part 3 - Investigation of the Lady Friend

Acolyte Elysant arrives for the appointment with a Temple Guard. After some pleasant conversation and advice on financial matters, Yureb is joined by Quazzy, disguised as one of the Inn's servants. Quazzy magically suggests that telling a lie will be a grievous sin. This, however, turns into a game of Truth or Lie, with Yureb answering more than his fair share of the questions. Detecting no evidence that she was involved with the plot to steal the Longevity Potions, the rest of the party and Ricard join the meeting.

Ellie is horrified to learn that the Assassin tried to kill Ricard, and Senior Priestess Danisa was involved and betrayed her trust.

Coins of Good Fortune

These are also called Thalia Coins, named after Halea's Handmaiden Thalia, the Princess of Fortune.

These Magical Silver Coins have a bell inscribed on one side and a dice on the other. They will bestow luck and good fortune on the holder.

The holder rolls d10+10 when acquiring the coin. When making an Ability Check, Saving Throw or Attack Roll the holder uses this number rather than rolling. After use the coin will lose its magical properties and turn into a standard silver piece.
