- Legion has a guard sent who was on patrol at the time Legion described that someone had ‘searched’ Cloudswimmer
- Guard had no idea what he was talking about and had no recollection of anyone using or inspecting the ship
- offers that his boss might know more: Sergeant _____
- Legion DID NOT ask if any ONE of The Undaunted was on the ship individually
- Idris goes to see Judith, but Tania intercepts him and asks if he saw Hailey recently
- I; I was out of town, it was not me
- Please tell me there are people who can vouch for me?
- I: Yes – my travelling companions
- T: Hailey was with you – right down to the golden eyes
- I: Yes I know, we’re trying to get to the bottom of this
- T: This is really weird… he’s been walking around town, accepting gifts from people?
- I: He’s done more than just here?
- T: Yes! I probably would have come t the conclustion it wasn’t you anyway- he’s throwing his weight around
- I: Would you be able to – I know i’m not your favourite person – put together a list of what he’s done and with whom so I can follow up?
- T: Sure, absoloutely – but one thing… I don’t know if you should avoid or talk to her, but there’s talk of you replacing Ursel… HE is talking about it… not you, but him… or he’s trying to set you up… but… that’s the biggest rumour going around right now – that Ursel is on her way out… you know what I mean
- I: Is Judith in?
- T: No
- Sebastien – an older guy, 80 years old… a longtime client of Judith‘s… but now he just basically every now and then has her for companionship and she goes on vacation with him for like 2 weeks while he goes to openings or whatever
- Tania says Judith has gone to his summer house for the week
- Puki goes to the bank to count his money except for what was spent on making the treasure map – it’s all there
- Silver Shields tell Nidalru her presence is requested at City Hall immediately
- At city hall there are two Wood Elf rangers
- We’ve been asked to give this to you – and they hand her a dagger
- The dagger belongs to Seren Vi – the dark elf rogue who is a sometimes competitior – obviously it’s been in combat
- How do they have it?
- Not far from here – near the Dire Wood there’s a small – larger than a village which has interesting jurisdiction – definitely within the Empire – near Axis, but has ties to the Elf Queen – alot of her subjects work there – the town is a place where the agreement betwen Emperor, Elf Queen & Dwarf King gets signed
- Happens every year (mostly ceremony) – reaffirmation of the alliance blah blah blah – normally on Goodfellows’ day – the annual pipeweed celebration
- Coordinatte Pipeweed Day with the signging reaffirmation – reps all go, sign it, they get high
- Seren Vi was asked to be part of this
- N: that doesn’t make sense
- of course not – the ambassador was a High Elf – Seren Vi was asked to go as Shadow Security because the Orc Lord was planning on disrupting
- The force the orc lord sent was more powerful than thought – he sent giants
- She got taken out – the wood elves aren’t big fans of Seren Vi, but they coldly describe that she’s on her deathbed.
- She needs the ambassador to be returned, the Orc Lord wants something, but Seren Vi sent the wood elves to get The Undaunted
- They’re willing to offer escort back to Wreath to say goodbye to Seren Vi and to find anything else
- They’re not too upset that Seren Vi might die, but they want to know if you’re willing to help retrieve the ambassador
- Nidalru looks keenly at them but thinks there is no subterfuge in their mannerisms
- Idris goes to visit Ursel
- Some of the golden knights are looking at Idris with excitement, and others are giving you ‘sideeye’ – some really like the idea of you replacing Ursel, and some aren’t fans of the ‘power move’.
- She’s a little standoffish but eventually says “maybe it IS time for new leadership:
- I: There’s nothing to take personally – what you’ve heard is not true. i know this will sound strange, but (explains everything he and Puki have been through)
- I: I think there are imposters running around – being impersonated – discredit us and throw kinks into our plans to rebuild
- U: This has something to do with “save me” from The Syndicate, yes?
- I: Yes – there was definitely someone impersonating you as well
- U: How do you know it’s me y ou’re talking to now?
- I: good question… but I don’t think whoever is trying to do it wants to confront us face-to-face
- U: They tend to be cowards
- I: I’m starting to think it has something to do with The Syndicate
- U: That should have ended when you killed the dragon
- I: They were th eones behind the portal adventure
- U: Alright; i’ll be honest – when I heard the rumour you were going to take leadreship here – there was a part of me that was releieved – I’ve been doing this a long time. If you say it wasn’t you, np but maybe we should talk anyway
- Let’s table this for another time – in the meantime – are all your friends about to leave?
- I: If you can have the knights looking out for more imposters. And speaking of the leadership , i’d only do so if you were really ready to retire and you ORDER me to do so.
- U: I have been thinking of a retirement home..
- They arrive in the festival town and the preparations are being made, but there’s a mood of sadness
- a broken table here, a stage set up, etc.
- A well dressed Halfling comes scurrying out
- Worried look on his face
- Jivell Yellowleaf “Jives”
- He knows Seren Vi sent for hel but doesn’t know the Undaunted by name
- He leads us to her
- She’s in bad shape – her leg completely crushed – smashed by a boulder – but she’s also sweating
- Asks for the Dagger back – says something about Nidalru being selfish
- SV: My leg – foam at the corners of her mouth
- Poisoned
- Organized Force
- Stone Giant – Lars
- Had trolls working with them too – seroius – why does the Orc Lord care this much? Thought I was just coming to smoke leaf…
- Whispers, “I don’t care about finding the Ambassador, but whatever the Orc Lord wants, we shouldn’t…”
- Grabs a rolled up cigarette – smokes oit
- The two woodl elf rangers say after they kidnapped the ambassador, they did follow them to the cave, but they can lead us back
- They take us to a cave entrance at the bottom of a huge hill (not a mountain)
- The rangers will stay outsidde to guard
- Jives comes running up because they wish to come – they were
- name is Eofel – wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for me
- I promise I won’t be any trouble…
- N: You shouldn’t come with us
- J: I know I don’t look like much
- THe heroes agree
- Nidalru fails a stealth check – Jives’ fault
ENGAGE!
- the heroes collect lots of elven made jewellery
- some of the bodies have the double-axe as foreground, the back is a dragon
- maybe the orc lord’s hatred has passed on to the lich king and maybe the orc lord
