The Princess's Boyfriend

The party met Queen Emeldawn Alistair in Caer Craftenor in the Kingdom of Louth, where they also met her daughter, the Princess Ireltharis Alistair who has been in an arranged marriage with Tertius when they were children.   Ireltharis met with Tertius in secret, telling him about her secret boyfriend, Baremin Barleyhare, a low ranking guard in Lower Craftenor. She wants the party to help him with a case of disappearing people in hopes that he will get recognition and be promoted and serve in Upper Craftenor where it would be easier for the pair to meet.   The party agree to help and join the investigation and discover an invisible creature, only visible to children and those that are being hunted, is responsible for the disappearances. They are able to track it down to a warehouse, where they attack it in its lair, succeeding in slaying the Urban Stalker--however, they also discover that creatures like these have not been seen in a long while and they were supposedly locked away when the Nyctelios the Mad God was imprisoned, but perhaps the god wasn't locked away as well as they had believed.
