Plot points/Scenes
Chapter 1: After finding information about the one-eyed skull, a mysterious figure seemed to change shape between bookshelves. Sebastian sends a letter from Hoenheim requesting the party's presence. Met the goliath Thotham and the town sightseer Shax and headed to collect an object that is destined to help with the party's quest.
Chapter 2: After traveling towards the mark on the map and defeating a cyclops, the party finds a cave system inhabited by Xvarts, Vegepygmies, and russet mold. Deeper in the cave, the party meets an old Annis hag named Udo who turns on them after they try and take her Eye of Unshadowing. She gives them quite the fight since she was well equipped, but the Xvarts were convinced to revolt against her.
Chapter 3: The party wakes outside of the cave to hear the sound of wooden wheels rattling on the gravelly mountain pass and a leather whip cracking. Pulled by two dire wolves, a covered carriage is guarded by several goblins. Under the cover contained some young adventurers. The party made a pit stop at Hoenheim and Shax told them that Vaerskald was on the look out for them. Sebastian decides to join with the party and bring the Greenhorne Thieves with him. Under the city, the party finds a good place for the Greenhornes to hide where the guards would not be able to locate.
Chapter 4: Exploring the deep underground of Vaerskald reveals an ancient tomb. Within is several undead and puzzles guarding a shining Green Stone. Back in the hideout, Sebastian infers that the party's friends must be held in the city's jail. The party stealthily makes its way into the jail, freeing Friedrich, an old man, and an elf who joins up with the Greenhornes.
Chapter 5: The party then hears word that an abandoned castle to the north is receiving shipments from the city and they decide to follow the next outbound caravan. This castle is where the party officially meets the doppelganger, after getting captured. After coming to, the party witnesses a rakshasa about to feast on one of the other captives, when Galanar makes an attempt to escape. After fighting with the rakshasa and the doppelganger, the two villains retreat to another plane leaving the guards to defend the castle. These guards were unprepared though, for all of those captive revolted against them. Two of those prisoners were Charlotte and Karst.
Chapter 6: Returning to Vaerskald, the party finds the Greenhornes growing larger and the flurry of preparation fills the hideout. They throw a quick party to celebrate the return of Charlotte and Karst, and Sebastian informs the party of their current preparations. They are preparing to take control of the city's wealth, assassinate the members of the Elder Council, and place a new government in their place. Sebastian formally invites Karst to lead the Greenhornes but he declines, promising to help their cause from a distance instead. Karst informs the party that his dagger is missing and it contains a gem that is able to shoot a powerful beam when charged. The party then heads back to the formally abandoned castle.
Chapter 7: The party returns to the doppelganger's castle and finds it to be heavily guarded. They attempt to sneak in, but the place is crawling with guards. Within Galanar finds and defeats his abusive father, but is left with a feeling of emptiness instead of the satisfaction he sought through revenge. Hanging naked in the torturer's chamber is their friends Charlotte and Karst, which is strange due to the fact they left them back in Vaerskald.
Chapter 8: The party returns to Vaerskald in search of answers with their friends in tow. Within, they find that the doppelgangers have planted evil seeds in the minds of the greenhornes, and they ambush the party. Sebastian falls due to the trickery. After defeating the doppelgangers, the rest of the greenhornes dissolve into petty thieves and thugs.
Chapter 9: To save Sebastian from death, the party treks out to the doppelganger's abandoned castle to look for clues on where the upright priest and cleric couple went off to. In the castle they find a chicken and an image of wilderness, which leads them to the plot of land the couple started building on. The cleric mentioned that she hasn't trained long enough to be able to revive Sebastian, but mentioned her father was is Saltzburgh on a mission and could help.
