Session 56: Ending With a Choice
General Summary
The party arrives in Caer Craftenor, heading through Lower Craftenor and Tertius getting the party access to Upper Craftenor. Once there, the party went to get rooms at the familiar Steel Hook. Tertius, Levi, and Ilbryen left to visit Princess Ireltharis Alistair at the palace. The palace was opened to the public, as the Queen was celebrating a local tradition of taking a day to listen to the dispute of ‘commoners’ and passing judgment to settle them outside of their legal system.
Ireltharis immediately welcomed the group upon discovering that they were there. Tertius thanked her for sending troops to help with Eastbridge, though Ireltharis coyly said that she had only sent them to deliver a message and anything else that they did was of their own doing and not hers. Ireltharis also thanked the party for their assistance with her paramour, Baremin Barleyhare, who was promoted as a result of the party’s help and now serves in Upper Craftenor. She asked if the party would be able to help him once again, as there have been troubling reports of changelings infiltrating the city. However, Tertius politely declined, telling her that they were busy with important matters that were time sensitive. The group took their leave and stopped at the Arcanum, allowing Ilbryen to do some research about the god Nyctelios and the plot to free him, though it seemed that they were not able to uncover much new information beyond what they had already obtained and they returned to the Steel Hook. At the Steel Hook, those who remained reconnected with Roald, who remembered them and offered to buy them a round. The party continued to drink through the day, and eventually the others returned. As drinks were flowing, the Roald, Bolvaic, and Illeavaere attempted a flirtation with three ladies who were seated together, but thanks to Roald and Bolvaic, they were very unsuccessful. The night carried on in cups and the party eventually retired for the evening. In the morning, as everyone gathered together, they discovered that Elkantar was not in his room and that his room seemed to be unused over the last night. Investigating and asking around, they found someone who claimed to have seen the dark elf leaving early in the night. The party asked around throughout town and it seemed as if he left through the north gate, heading toward the mountains that were supposed to house the great Arcane Lock that bound Nyceltios. The party left immediately to try to trace the path of Elkantar. During their evening watch, they were visited by Malthus Normal and a red slaad who approached from the north. Malthus did not threaten the party and stated that he came in peace. He told them that Elkantar was really the slaad in disguise and that they had overrun the Drow who had come to investigate The Arcane Lock and he sent the slaad to bring the party to the lock to see if they would help them. As the party made ready to follow them, they discussed how to proceed, wondering if they should follow or take this opportunity to take out Malthus right now…
