Session 109 Prep

Previously...

The party arrived at Coregilia and promptly got involved in a bar fight that resulted in a "virtual" massacre that though killed many, ultimately resulted in no deaths due to the quick work of Balmaris the cleric.

Session 108 Killed by a flumph

Interludes

A night in jail

The PC's are taken into custody to await the traveling magistrate. Their magical brands are discovered and the magistrate takes them aside to tell them of their quest.

Hvitserk Arrives

Hvitserk arrives looking for his companions to start some carousing. His preference is to head to the The Empty Net tavern and blow off steam.

Raider sails are sighted

The sails of raiders from the Sea Princes are sighted on the horizon. The town panics and sounds the alarms. Do the PC's head out to sea or help fortify the town? The PC's may discover some of the odd artifacts in use (linked to the Empire of Lynn arms dealers)

Planned Events

The Constable Arrives

The constable Halvor and a heavily armed escort arrives to put a stop to the bar fight to find the PC's sitting at the bar drinking quietly. The remaining patrons still in the bar are in shock but no property damage is apparent.
Depending on their actions Halvor may have them taken in for questioning at which point their brands are discovered. (Ref ' A night in jail' )

The tale of the Haunted House

The PC's meet with Julia who tells them of the old alchemists mansion on the hill outside of town. Its reportedly haunted and strange lights have been seen there on moonless nights.

Cliffhanger

If they are in town the raiders arrive. If they are on the road use the coastal random encounter.

Key NPC's

The Snapping Line (tavern) Owner

Name: Abe Falstaff
Campaign:
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Abe stands tall and barrel-chested, with a weathered face etched by years of sun and sea. His salt-and-pepper beard, streaked with golden highlights, frames a twinkling blue eye and a perpetually lopsided grin. A faded tattoo of an anchor dances on his muscular forearm, a relic from his days at sea. Though now retired, callouses still cling to his broad hands, reminders of hauling nets and battling storms. His attire is a mishmash of practicality and comfort: sturdy boots, patched trousers, a well-worn fishing vest over a loose linen shirt, and a captain's hat perpetually perched at a rakish angle.

Mistress of the Empty Net

Name: Anya
Campaign:
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Anya is a whirlwind of contradictions. Barely out of her twenties, she has eyes the color of storm clouds and a mischievous grin that could charm or intimidate in equal measure. Her raven hair, often tangled and windswept, frames a face etched with both youthful innocence and cunning lines around her eyes. Anya's build is slender but surprisingly strong, honed from years of navigating treacherous streets and eluding guards. She favors practical clothing - leather jerkins, worn breeches, and sturdy boots - but a flash of silk or a glint of silver jewelry always betrays her hidden wealth.
Voice/Mannerisms:
Ideal:
Flaw:
Bond:
Info: Anya has a pet magpie named Trinket, who serves as her lookout and occasional accomplice. She carries a hidden dagger, always within easy reach, and knows how to use it without hesitation. Anya speaks several languages, including thieves' cant and a smattering of pirate slang. Despite her profession, she has a soft spot for children and animals, often providing them with food and shelter when she can. Rumors abound about Anya's past - some whisper of a noble upbringing gone wrong, others of a pirate captain as her father. She keeps her secrets close, adding to her mystique.
