Plot points/Scenes
The team are in the usual spot in The Eschbach Shields and the usual Halfling Thief is present. Another member of the Guild comes and whipsyers something t ohim, and he approaches the team. Then he advises them that a group of slavers where in the Bawdyhouse and were overheard that they had got a good deal on some children and youths they had picked up in the west. Some where of Barbarian descent, and and one said to the slavers that his father a Dragonborn will hunt them down and kill them. They laughed it off and proceeded east to Eschbach, and camped outside to the east. There they made a sale of the young to some Drow the night before for 500 gold. The Drow mentioned some were due to be sacrificed, others used as slaves and a couple were of interest to a Coven of Hags that were requiring a slave & a sacrifice. Now what are the team to do?
Finding the slavers are easy, and most can literally be caught with their pants down in compromising positions. Leclair the leader is an average man and will provide them with the information that it was unmistakeably the Bladed Pouch who kidnapped the young and sold them to him & his men.He will reveal that the kids weren't treated too badly but had to keep them outside the five mile radius of Eschbach as per local laws.
He'll also admit he was told by the Bladed Pouch to sell the children to the Drow as they wanted a shipment after making a deal with a Coven of Hags. The Drow were able to gain a stronger, more powerful base for a sacrificial altar to Lolth and it was fashioned by a Hag called Adalwolf. She wants a slave to teach in return, and a child to sacrifice to the Avatar of Leviathan who demanded one for helping her.
Any other children is a boon for the Drow and at least half the remaining is to be sacrificed to Lolth to fully activate the new altar base. The others are to be used as slaves in the temple of Lolth.
They were only sold the night before and the entrance is a few miles inside the mountainous region of the Barvarii in the east bordering local lands.
The team may have enough time to catch the tail end, and find it is made up of 12 children and at least 6 Drow elite warriors. They will have to kill these warriors to free the children. Also, when done two children are reported to have been taken on ahead so the Drow can pass them off to Adalwolf's followers. These followers will be 3 Baobhan Sith, who are deep within the Black Forest.
There is a 50% chance of catching up with them.If so, then a fight ensues and Flo's son is saved. If not, then he is took to Adalwolf in the east. This may result in them havign to go and try to stop him being sacrificed as the other child is a female sorcerer.
If rescued, in the long run, Adalwolf will try to capture Flo's son, and likely warn them to give him up or "there will be consequences".
