General Summary
Exploring the Keep
at the Wizard's Keep (Mike send the pic) - first leve exploring quickly - no 'connection' to basement/root cellar
Gareth lived upstairs
Red Brands used basement to keep it looking abandoned
2nd story. workshop - 20gp of tiny jewels and random OLD spell bits
town grew up around the keep
Library - Not much here. if reburbish would be good desk
Quick hidy spots - nothing secret this level
third level - pillars - gazeebo-ish. 7 pillars. HARD to do.
Cernan looking: b/t pillars opening ringed by golden light. He's the only one to see it. Like when he first met Arabeth.
wear pattern on inside of circle is different - newer. Less wear very strange
not a defensable thing
Runes under the wood of the arches. ANCIENT runes. We can't read them.
try to put it back magically - wood falls off the runes look amazing. Not sensing active magic.
covering it and tying wood back to pillar
Cernan prays at the arch/pillar. tastes metal. there's a key required. Can see key then gone.
we setup the trap with Cita hiding with a net in the cave to the sea and the rest of us hiding in the cavern. (We pitoned the doors shut.)
4 came through in a procession
Simon: the banner bearer (spared)
Sherry: the bard and puppeteer (killed)
Sir Clark: zombie (WAS the judge knight, but Seran killed him and changed him into a zombie) (killed)
Seran: icky mage (might be necromancer) (killed
A 5th entered the cavern
The Asp: rogue assassin (killed)
Cernan is the ONLY follower of Arabeth right now, Seran said this and that this was Arabeths' last chance.
Post Battle
talked with Lieutenant Garris - Captain Borland and his cohort are missing
we share our best guess that the Asp killed the mayor
Seran was building a temple outside of town.
destroyed the temple foundation
Cernan talked with Lt. Garris about ara and Garris believes. . Stormy is intrigued.
Takeaways from Encounter:
Arabeth needs more followers
Capt. Borland and cohort look suspicious
We have a keep to fix up
Options to pick from
We have a tower rune magic puzzle (Stormy will need this for her soon to be Drake Companion)
Thunder Tree (town) - In side the shop is an emerald necklace
Cragma Castle - Goblins have taken over and locals want us to take it back.
Tidy up loose ends in New Haran.
Wave Echo Cave (We don't know where it is)
