Session 7: So Many Secrets! Report

General Summary

2 Avrer 1000 AWD

After learning about the location of the Magister's Mace, the party (Blossom Nimblekip, Elijah Silversun, Echo Aella and Tiber Alighieri) went to find the noble Scotaidh Ennisi as his home.
A shadow momentarily crosses the sun, followed a moment later by the sound of heavy wings beating and the rush of wind. You look up just in time to see a saddled griffon and rider wheel around in a tight circle just overhead.
Mid-way through the aerial maneuver, the rider nimbly leaps out of the saddle, performing a graceful back flip and lands in front of you, her broad-brimmed hat in hand. A moment later, the griffon touches down on the plaza just opposite - skidding to a halt with such force that its talons strike sparks from the stones. The elegantly dressed rider bows as she introduces herself.
“My name is Lady Penelope, Knight of the Spire, and this is my griffon, Tallyrand. We’ve been watching you. The Duke has you marked as criminals. So tell me - why shouldn’t I draw my sword?”[/quote]
Penelope is aware that the party are currently wanted for treason by Duke Draymore. As an ally of the law, she’s compelled to investigate the matter, and challenge the characters upon the actions that have lead them to this condition. However, she is Knight of the Spire, not a servant of the Duke. As an agent for good, her main concern is to reveal what is really going on and judge if the characters have acted justly or not.
She also knows about the Orb of Dragon Souls - although only from legend. While she is unable to offer much help regarding the spell that binds it to Grayhaven, she is able to warn them about using the Orb. According to lore, the very existence of the Orb is a danger to the peace it created. If a dragon is aware of the Orb, it will do everything in their power to seek it out and claim it as its own... lest it be used against them. It is also said that all dragons are bound to the Orb - and can sense whenever its powers are used.
She warns the party to keep the Orb absolutely secret, for even knowledge of its existence may be enough to sunder the realm in a desperate power struggle. The Knights of the Spire owe a debt to the dragons that prevents her from helping them with the Orb directly. However, she urges the party to take the Orb to the Spire as soon as possible, so Commander Barkruff can decide what to do with it.
They then set off for the Magister's Mace.
They attempted to negotiate with the nobleman's butler, but were unsuccessful. They then chose to try and get into the home unnoticed and find the mace on their own.
Blossom was able to enter the home unnoticed and allowed the rest of the party in through the front door. They began searching the house and ended up finding the mace. Upon taking of the mace off the wall they were immediately assaulted by plant creatures. After a brutal battle with the plants, the druid Scotaidh Ennisi they were able to leave the house. They returned to the safety of Tykus' tower where Findal Dinfizzle Findazzle was waiting for them and they soon discovered they still needed something to be able to break the hold on them in the city, they needed to seek out the "head of the hive". They needed to seek out the blessing from Queen Isabelle Whitestone.
