Revision as of 09:07, 25 August 2022
Wanborne has been besieged, captured, freed, and re occupied many times over the past decades. Most of the houses are in disrepair and occupied by troops moving through the area. The populace numbering less than 20 souls is cowed and generally of ill disposition towards anyone not from the town. (LE, NE)
The corpse is that of Sir Keldic one of the Knights of the March hunted down by humanoids.
Before being occupied by the raiders the mill was quite prosperous as there are plentiful sheep in the hills. The previous owner was killed in a dispute over payment by Rugfar a half orc mercenary, and his skull placed in the window. The hole was created by boulder during a previous siege. Currently the mill is worked by eight human slaves. There are three hobgoblin guards and a leader. The rear of the mill is filled with looms and stacks of wool ready for shipment. The wool is worth between 600-1500GP depending on the market.
- The boulder that made the hole in the roof is in the center of the room covered in wool.
- One of the slaves knows about the history of the Keldic Family and if freed will mention they were once lords of the town who held the lands from here to the Ripper Mines. Sir Keldic was a member of the Knights of the March who was gathering resources to prepare an expedition to retake the Ripper Mines.
- Keldic Village and the families fortified manor now in ruins lies about 30 miles to the East.
The chains once held prisoners, the bones are mostly picked clean bur remain partially attached. The smell comes from a small ghoul that is eating on the remnants that have fallen to the ground. It avoids contact and runs to the shadows.
- A DC15 constitution save to avoid vomiting at the sight and smell.
- A DC20 perception check will determine the body is female.
- A DC25 investigation check will turn up a diamond earring worth 500-750GP. The earring once belonged to the wife of the towns beige lord Sir Keldic a Knights of the March . If found and returned to the Keldics family in Knurl they will honor the party who will receive 2 prestige points.
- There are twelve rooms, each can be rented for 15SP a night.
- Meals cost a few copper for soup, and a few silver for meat.
Brunze is tired and expecting problems, after all anyone coming through town is usually looking for trouble. His partner Denna knows quite a bit about the comings and goings of units in the area. She will reveal secret troop movement plans for 50+ GP. By the following morning she and Brunze will be gone if the PC's pay her to start over someplace safer.
The Herbalist is an older Flan male name Justinian, dressed in homespun clothing covered in dirt, he has silvery white hair and a short cropped beard in his middle 60's. For a small price he can mix up herbal remedies that mimic healing spells.
The house has long since been looted. Entry is dangerous due to the rotten floors. A DC 18 or higher agility check will be required every 20' moved in the building to avoid falling through the floor. DAM - 1D8 for each floor. The cellar is partially filled with water and of course poisonous snakes. There is a single barrel of Elvish wine worth 250GP.
Most of the tents contain no stores or major items except the bell shaped tents which hold the pay-chests and instructions for the troops.
- Soldiers: (100): AC 15 (chain mail); HD 3; each; MV 120‘(40’); #AT 1;D broadsvord); AL LE ;
- Sisters of Fire
- Riding Horses (25): AC 7; HD 2; hp 12 each;MV 120’(40‘);#AT2hooves;D 1-411-4;Save F1; ML 7; AL N; XP 20 each.
Looting this camp nets the PC’s a mere 1,350 gold pieces (plus any items they recover from the Sisters of Fire).
Four Flan humans are enslaved, three men and one woman. They relate the story of how they are ensalved either to work the mines or as food/sport for the humanoids. The eldest is Alain Paxton a mid 20's male and three younger siblings. He wishes to become a mage or druid. He knows of the meets between the Elves and the Flan at the standing stones outside of town.
