[h3 Greymane's Temple] This is a Monk Temple and it has an old Tortle here. Basil his last name discarded. He offers seances of sorts. A calling to summon ones inner self. Many people that are not monks come here to have their hearts read and fortunes told. He insist they are not fortunes but rather advice from an old man instead. With a cane a shell on his back he is a LV 7 Monk tortle though he was once much stronger time has taken it's toll. You can ask for a number of things. 1 Tea Time: What most people come for he ask a number of questions to learn more of you're inner self. Getting a sense of you're KI (He is a Monk of Mercy) each interaction is alone. Kaida: There is much.. Hatred in you. If it is not settled he will become what he himself most hates. That he may with that power gain vengeance but he will lose the part of his heart that had him sought vengeance. (Will do kaida last as it can get hostile.) There will come a time when you must make a choice at a crossroads of his destiny. Gareth: There is... Much doubt in you young man. Doubt that you can walk away from you're old life. Doubt that it won't come back to hurt you're new friends. You carry those sins and that burden and in order to grow you must look forward. Loss or love may come to path but you must not stand still or look back for if you do. You will lose who you are. Believe in the warmth of you're heart and the strength of you're bonds. No matter what bonds are lost the ones who remain will become stronger in you're greatest hour of need. When you will be forced to make a hard choice. Solandis: Peering into her key will cause Basil to weep softly but also to laugh through the tears. That she is overcoming a great darkness but it threatens to return and overcome her in turn. That her struggle of yin and yang is great. That she is a woman of many tears and many laughs. That she is a coin of two sides. Warm and cold and that it may bring turmoil.. If those things can come to balance. Light and shadow she will discover true peace. That she must show her friends her light.. As well as her shadow. (If Kaida was already down by this point) That to an extent the same could be said of Kaida. Mary: He sense a very brave soul with a very tiny vessal. That once fear consumed her being and just recently.. It enters her heart again. He tells her that bravery cannot exist without fear. To dive in without fear is to be a mindless beast with no thought of consequence. That she may have fled in the past. That is okay fear is natural. If she lets that rule her life she can never stand firm in the present. Inner Summoning. Still get the speech from above but he warns many do not do this except for monks. That it can be.. Trying. You will confront both you're Yin and Yang light and shadow. Only to be confronted by a third image one unique to you. Shadow Kaida meets his innerself. Telling him to forsake his friends to gain the power he needs to strike out on his own. That they will only hold him back that he can offer the power he needs. Inner Light: Will be faint and weaker but it will tell him that he must remember that love he was shown. The love his friends have shown him. That he must remain true that resorting to lower tactics won't breed strength that a shortcut will create a man of weaker character. The third image will silence the other two in a huff of smoke. In a deep tone that whatever he will choose he must follow that path to the end. To be true to himself whether he is to strike or be struck down. Sol: Her inner darkness will show herself in a cage. Showing the previous affection of her master before flashing to the present. Showing her master in the image of Gareth. A man who loves to own and dominate her. That Gareth is truly just another leash. That she must run and leave this place. Or she must dominate Gareth with her charm before he can her. Be the master of her own life be the master of others this time. Inner Light: Will tell her that the darkness has no hold over her. That Gareth is no cage nor a pet to be tamed. That she is no caged bird herself that the two bring strentgh to the other and cover the weaknesses. That even if that love is to burn out. The flames are imprinted and the two will be forever changed. Strong enough to defeat the shadows of the past. Third Image: Will give silence and a hug. Gareth: See his old boss his old wife and Sol. Wing the rest Mary: Remind her of running and being captured. Of her village and family being destroyed. That she lied to others and herself.. She ran to be a bard. To memorialize the stories of heroes and.. Of the people she failed to protect. After all the inner sides are seen the party gains 100-500 EXP depending how much he see's they have "Passed" [h3 Hunting Gardens] Connected to the tavern just as the Greymane District was too. This is full of gardens and beatiful nature. A woman will ask you to help her with gardens the place is dying. Nature of 10-14 will slight heal it gaining 40EXP/GP 15-19 60EXP/GP 20 or higher is 100EXP/GOld she will tell you that she thinks they were poisoned by the rumored "Cult" of the tiefling making the church lose followers and etc. Can get to the Market Place from here as well! Traveling through the alley ways will cause the party to be attacked by 3 bandit captains! Can persuade/intimidate etc or fight them! They ask for 200GP [h3 Feral Grounds] Gareth's Boss Here: Yuan Ti Gang Here: (Quest Board) Red Sand Guild base here. (Quest board not the one they have the paper for though) Vampire Hideout Here: Place is MASSIVE. Noble will meet you here if you take the quest. Many dangerous allways to get lost in! Every time you get lost face an encounter I created! (4 different encounters) One easy two normal three hard four deadly Only face one of each though. [h3 Rosy Lion] [b As you enter the roadside inn, feet sore and throat parched, you’re greeted by a scene of warmth and welcome. The floorboards are worn and well-trodden, showing evidence of old spills and stains that will never be removed, but still freshly cleaned and highly polished by a loving hand. There’s a small bar and a few tables, all that can fit in that small space. The furnishings are simple but sturdy and serviceable. It’s the smell that makes you feel at home--roasting meat and spiced vegetables. The odor permeates the air, makes your belly rumble and your mouth water. A woman with a pleasant smile greets you from behind the bar, a musical lilt to her voice that reveals a good nature. “Welcome to the Rose and Lion, traveler. You have the look of one in need of a hot meal and a soft bed. The sheets are fresh as spring daisies, washed daily and aired by wind and sun, as is right. Not a bedbug to be found, on my honor. My husband makes the food, and you’ll find no finer cook for a hundred leagues. Trained in Arcstead, he did, and could have been chef to the king. Ah, but that’s a story best told over a mug of ale.” With a wink and a nod, she pours a pint of fine amber ale and presents it as foam rolls down the side. “Now. Sit, weary traveler, and enjoy what we offer. No payment necessary, at least not your coin. Put it away, I say! All we ask here... is that you share your tale, and don’t skip a single detail. The ups and downs of your life, a life unique to you and you alone, that’s all we want to hear. Tell us of your frustrations and challenges, of the thrill of success and what you’ve accomplished. Start where you like, and leave nothing out. That’s payment enough. There’s no currency more valuable than a life well lived and sharing it with others. But first, let me fetch your meal, and my husband besides, for we both want to hear every word.”] Free food for first time customers. They have a quest board! In the tavern roll a perception. 10 or higher notice someone looking. 15-19 they are looking at Kaida. 20 Or higher it's a Yuan Ti looking. Gareth has a man tailing him (3 versions of perception for more info too) Rolling insight shows they are not connected to each other! The tavern has arm wrestles and other matches a plenty! One halfling recognizes Mary! Joseph! An old friend who escaped the village but she tries to hide her past and hushes him on that glad to see him!! [h3 Red Sand Quest:] The quest board says that the place is incredibly dangerous and to meet up with an informant. That by posting even this request attempts have been made to end their life. You go to meet the informant only to see that it is Roger! After catching up he informs you the place is swarming with enemies and it doesn't seem likely to be able to defeat them all. That you guys could retrieve evidence as well as information to take them down further. He gives you an inner lay out and tells you which office room would be best to search. It's in the upper levels. The place looks like a modern Asian tower. After handing you the map he tells you it's up to you to decide how best to get in. He also informs Solandis of a Black Market medical ward for her basilisk that it'll take 500GP but they should be able to heal him. The Basilisk will start off LV 3 (To represent CR 3) At it's 4th level it will gain an ASI. Every level up is a hit die of d8+con modifier of 2. It can gain proficiency bonus like the players. Every 4 levels it will gain ASI. It only gains EXP (Takes a portion of it) if it helps in battles. Roger informs you it may help in the battle ahead. So when you read the map you see multiple approaches and a few times and dates of certain events. Roger lets you know he'll split up and find his own way in. [h3 Breaking In] (BTW Party will last all night long. 8-10 hours) Ways of breaking in (Of course the player can do something for themselves!) Frontal Assault (The most brash and reckless) Underground the sewers one pipeline leads into the lower cellar used for storage. Catering services/contest. In the next in game 24 hours they are having many chefs both lowly and highborn that earned passes in the entrance exam to come in! The bosses son is having his 14th birthday! Can pass the entrance exam! (Must have the skill to cook with utensils otherwise the performance check is 15 or higher. Otherwise? 10 or higher) Dancers, the Don here prefers the women but any talent of art is wanted here. They arrive with the chefs as well to make a debut. You're CHA and DEX mods add together. (Can replace Dex with performance) Need a 15 or higher to get in! (Women need only a 14) If you get in this way in the dancing room you'll see John Smith! Guard patrols: One dangerous group patrols out the furthest to an alleyway (That leads to a back entrance) could ambush them take their things and head back. Situation It's a high building with walls all around. Walls denying the back entrance but the back is climbable if one is athletic enough (Thus the guards for the back) Normally disguising as guards wouldn't work but they hire so many outsources from other sectors of the Red Sands for big events like this. [h3 Red Flower Tower] The heist begins! The tower has 3 floors! Part One: This is how you broke in (I could change this depending if another route was found) Dancing Room: Only the party members who succeeded are in here. This room only has 4 thugs guarding with one instructor. (Instructor is a commoner and won't fight) The dancing room is on the first floor. Meant to entertain first class guest on the second floor and the entry level guest of the first floor. A contest will be held to decide the last two to enter the higher level! All others are beaten with a 12 or higher. John however will roll with +1 dex and 4 cha or rather he can use his performance which is 6 giving him a bonus 7. He is eager to perform for thugs and nobles alike to prove his worth as a dancer! The thugs have a 2nd floor pass on them. With a stealth check and a sleight of hand check (10 or higher for both) you can take the key. Fail the stealth they won't grow hostile but annoyed. Fail the sleight of hand? They will try to capture you. Fail the stealth and the sleight of hand is a roll of 15 or higher. If you do fight them? One Thug will try to run and warn the others. He cannot be allowed to run more than 60FT away. (I won't allow them to dash however for funs sake.) If so? An alarm is raised. But the racket will cause attention anyway. New guards come into the fray! Goblin guards! 1 Hobgoblin captain (Tai) 5 Goblin bosses with him! If they are defeated the palace will be on high alert but the party will go on. (However if a thug escaped the party will end and an alarm will blare. Course if one escapes and the party splits? The other party may be able to stop him? We'll see.) Sewer Route: In this route you head underground up a drainage pipe! It is very dark here. And very wet so torches can go out if you aren't careful. Sleight of hand 12 or higher to keep it up. As you head in the sewer there is a Drider and 3 giant spiders! Feasting on those who wander in here. Many have thought this route before and though the Red Sands never found it? It's because an intruder has never made it past the Drider (Whom speaks elvish and undercommon) After defeating them you will head in! Gotta roll against Driders stealth! If you have light? Gain advantage on each perception roll as it's small pathway. If you somehow lose here? She will web you up and save you to eat for later. However Nathaniel comes he is here because of a Yuan Ti Informant he is hunting down. He will cut you down and get you into the storage unit. He has the Gladiator stat block but he does not have "Brute" but he does half Breastplate (14AC and his dex) 16AC He uses two shortswords now as well with Gladiators multi attack. It's parry to. 3 attacks for action 1 attack for bonus action gets modifier each strike [h3 Outside Guard] The outside guard has 6 Bandit Captains! As well as 1 scout! Dangerous for a frontal Assault 300GP. If stealth gotta stealth past the scouts passive perception of 15 [h3 Floor One] [h3 Area 1/Entrance:] The entrance room that has drinks and food and servants. Guest wait here to be evaluated this room has 12 (Dozen Guards) the guards are modified however to be wearing Chainmail. (18AC each) and wielding Longswords instead of spears! (1d8) Each guard gives 50 EXP instead of 25 to compensate for this. The fighting is loud enough that the bandits outside will hear. But you will be given a chance to escape from them. Rolling against their atheltics or acrobatics if you decide to start climbing out a higher window. Need 10 acrobatics or higher to not fall as you head to the roof tops. This room they will ask for ID and whatnot while making sure what sort of guest you are and getting everything sorted. Can stealth past the guards here (Only gotta beat passive perception) Can try deception/persuasion and other sort of means as well! Here all the guards will roll against deception but one fail does not mean a loss. Instead they "Vote" to decide to let you in or not. [h3 Area 2/Backdoor Entrance/Dining Hall] You'll likely have guard outfits giving an edge! You're outfits are a little fancier you'll notice. So a few guards may look at you a bit off. This room has a sentient minotaur guarding. This room also has 10 Flying sword stat blocks as "Swordsman" Guards. This is also where you go in the "Chef" Route. Chef route you must cook for those around! Do a 10-14 in Performance and you may stay otherwise they ask you to go. 15-19 a Noble will want you as his own and request you guys speak alone for a moment. Letting you know he is a 2nd tier guest and invites you upstairs with him. 20 or higher and without a conversation you are gained a pass to head upstairs. As you pass through this room you can head down a hall to right or left. Right has ribbons and glitter and appears to be very beautiful. You even see a dancers slipper left on the ground. (Dancing Floor) Left looks elegant fool of asian decor With a perception of 10-14 you notice the left's floorboards are slightly higher. 15-19 Upon further inspection the right seems to lead to the dancing contest. 20 or higher: You are able to deduce that left probably leads higher up in this place. [h3 Area 3/Dancing Room] The situation already explained in the dancing Route. However come into here not part of the contest and they will ask you for verification as you've wandered off. A chance to talk to things out. (Unless you stealth in here of course.) John Smith still here. [h3 Area 4/Staircase] This room is heavily guarded and only those with 2nd tier approval can head up here. Past this room however is a window. If you wish to climb it will be rough and requires 15 Acrobatics or Athletics. If you decide to head through the room instead. One must know the room has "Substances" and 600GP as well as beautiful women. The guards are slightly slacking off today but they still won't anyone pass. To convince them.. WITHOUT a pass need a persuasion of 18 or higher! Can Intimidate for 17 or higher but fail that and they will attack. This room has a winter wolf and 2 veterens! One of the beautiful women will cry not to kill these men and to simply leave. If she is ignored she will attempt to sneak on the party! As she is.. A succubus using the Red sands as bait! She will tell you that you have to play with her instead. Can persuade/intimidate but either takes 15 or higher! Agree to "Play" Rolling a Con save. 10 or higher passes. You take 4d6 damage but half as much on a pass as she extracts energy regardless through this "Event" She is not evil and has not killed her victims but requires this energy to live. If she wins the fight? She will tell them she won't kill them but just "Take" a little something. However before she can guards will come in forcing her to retreat as the party is captured! If she is defeated she will plea for her life. If she is spared? Can ask her (With advantage for sparing her) to create a distraction upstairs if you do not ask her she will take her leave. [h3 Floor 2] Storage Room/Sewer Route can lead to here. [h3 Area 1:/Party Entrance] Security seems more.. Relaxed up here as Security was so heavy on the bottom. The place only has 5 guards (Flying Sword stat blocks) Roger will be up here with a pass and so will Nathaniel! Nathaniel will talk to you and so will Roger on what info they found. Roger tells you third floor is for high staff only and that even esteemed guest can't enter. But that is where the info they need is. Nathaniel will point out a well dressed Yuan Ti Isskis a Yuan Ti man who is well groomed and well mannered. Nathaniel thinks that he had something to do with what happened in the jungle. If you approach him he will roll checks on the party as they would on him. Having +2 in every social interaction. He has the stats of a Yuan Ti abomination. (Powerful) he will tell Kaida that his scent.. Is lovely yet familiar an a eerie tone flickering his tongue. He will roll perception to gauge the party physically than an insight on each member. Fought with deception a hand shake where he is purposely firm so it's a strength saving throw vs him. (Lose and take 1d4 damage and he will apologize. Win? His next social roll will not have a +2) He will taunt the players with information. Of Brimstone and the Red sand but in turn.. Try to deceive while learning information from them. For every question they ask he will turn and ask one in return. (after answering theirs albeit maybe not always honestly.) May learn that he is indeed a Fey Hunter. And that the Yuan Ti are causing trouble in Caelum. The son comes out and can interact with him but only one can cause guards. All his rolls are neutral. Only social encounters and rumors here like Gareth's old boss Maruader making stirs recently. Meet Melissa and Jericko a married couple that with enough interaction can realize something is off. (The spy and the thief) [h3 Area 2/Pleasure Room:] Must find excuse to get through! A Gladiator stops you and is within hearing distance of the flying sword guards. Social skills/stealth/misc can be used. [h3 Area 3:/Staircase:] Shield Guardian blocks the staircase telling the party to head back and enjoy the party. It has sensors up as well. Giving it advantage on perception rolls. Can climb out the window but barely any steps outside and 3rd floor. Need 18 Atheltics or acrobatics to perform and failing is a dex. 4d6 fall damage Dex save of 15 or higher and you take half. Or can fight the guardian run up the stairs and barricade yourself on the 3rd floor. Guardian cannot be persuaded however. It will inform you of his master being on this floor. The Gladiator guarding the pleasure room. Can swipe his key. Persuasion/Intimdation has disadvantage due to the situation to gain the key. (Unless altered somehow) If you do go out Spy and a thief rooftop climbing. They will roll acrobatics up here as well trying to beat the party to steal that info for money! [h3 Floor 3] [h3 Area 1:/Guard room] (Skip this room if Climbed) The first room is a body guard sitting on a chair asleep. Can stealth (Get advantage) If pick pocket has 500GP but must be passive perception without advantage. Small guard room. In the guards hands is a map. Need a stealth of 10 to grab it without advantage. If failed combat will begin! You head out to see another lobby of sorts hotel like yet homely with fancy decorations. With the map you know where to go. Can roll surival to figure out needing a 15 to get where to go. With map only need a 10 Without rolls? You see a big door that says "Master Guest Room" Peering in stealth etc it is empty and a sign on the door says it must remain empty. Can rest here! Down the main hallway you can hear laughter and drinking. In that room ahead is the guards barracks. This room has 2 Captains and 2 body guards talking real loudly. Down the other hallway seems to be more laughter but it sounds less hardy and less people (Perception 12) with clanking of tankards. And the other way looks to be a maze almost. (Surivival 15 or 10 without map find the office the maze route) [h3 Area 2:/"Guest Room"] With a perception of 12 or higher notice the painting has scratched against the wall. Behind the painting is a safe. Can lockpick the safe. If you strike it will be loud and grab attention! Besides that the room has 100GP and full of love letters and magical recordings. This is where the don takes his favorite women. One letter is from a Yuan Ti telling him he should visit her in Caelum and join forces with her organization. [h3 Area 3:/Barracks] In here the guards have a key to the office around their waist as they laugh and talk. Can wait/stealth/talk but talking will be with disadvantage unless certain methods are used. Stealth too because it is crowded in the small room. (If you possess the fancy guard outfits) can convice them but they will say they don't remember you looking like that. Can roll social skills with outfits on normal rolls. If party fails and is KO'd? Nathaniel and Roger save the day here. Raising a large alarm forced to flee with them. [h3 Area 4:/Mess Hall] See 3 Nobles (Corrupt) heating. Can stealth on them as they have keys. Normal rolls for social and sneaking as they are not so bright. They are here to gain info on the underground world while enjoying it's "Pleasures" such as women and illegal substance. Using what they learn here to gain an advantage. They know the Red Sand hideout was moved to Caelum as they plan to strike in Caelum. Truly strike as in... Take over the proof is in the papers in the office. That some Great Plains nobles want this to happen so they can seize power in the chaos. So they are helping fund the project. [h3 Area 5/Office] Need a lockpicking of 15 18 without tool proficiency. The spy and the thief will come and try to.. Trick you away from the door. If that fails? They will run and refuse to open the door as they want the stuff for themselves. Can persuade and etc etc. You can peak in the office door and the boss here? He is a diamond and an Elf. His son may be adopted? Hard to say. (or make the son an elf either or) He wears his diamond badge. Can stealth in. His alignment is Lawful Evil so unless you share those values cannot persuade with him (Unless it is a deal that benefits both) If you roll Intimidation he gets advantage you get disadvantage. (His castle his men you look tired etc) Can fight him of course and take the papers in the office! Or try some other means!! After you take the documents you must escape the building!! He has 500GP on him also he grants an extra 150EXP to each party member on top of his usual worth. (1400 EXP unless Basilisk is involved) If party loses? Nathaniel and Roger step in! Fighting him for the rest! Roger swashbuckler nathaniel the custom Gladiator. If they lose? Roger will show he has a bomb on him. Tackling the guy out the window and blowing up. Nathaniel drinks his last health potion and tells them to get up. He looks to heal them noticing the spy and thief get in! (If alive) they will throw health potions in a scatter to distract him and escape with the info! Reward: After that entire ordeal... Roger will grant you 1200GP! (If he's alive of course) [h3 Captured] If defeated the party is captured! They will have no weapons and armor. 4 Knights will be watching the cells. They can use perception. 10 or higher finds a bobby pin in the dirt. Can sleight of hand (-2 if not skill in thieves tools) to lockpick if failed the Knights will get angry and try to punch the lock picker. 1d4+STR modifier. Can short rest in the cell. Any persuasion or intimation is with disadvantage while they roll against it with advantage cause you are locked up after all. (Unless a good enough argument is made somehow) In the cell the knights will receive orders to kill the group. So as they come in to do finish the job. Roger will come in handing the party a pair of keys informing them where their stuff is. He'll than draw the map of what was needed. (It's fake to garner attention) the Knight's freak out and attack him as he runs away to create a distraction. Here in the dungeon if you go up? It'll lead you back to the first floor entrance. Noble in Greymane: The Whitemane is looking for information on possible foreign spies. More of a "Tips Hotline" rather than a quest. (Same one you meet at the castle/restraunt) [h3 Vampire Hideout:] The quest reads of a sentient vampire spawn trying to gather food for his master. (The truth will be more sinister for our party) Reward: 800GP The information tells that it's in the Feral Grounds in the undercity a lost tomb! "Bestial Tombs" old tombs of the Ansenstors of the Great Plains. (Balanced around LV 4) You search the under ruins and roll Survival of 10 or higher to find the entrance of the tomb. If you fail? Attacked by Giant spiders and must roll again. (4 spiders) [h3 Bestial Tombs] This a small packed tomb and is dim in light (Not dark but dim) As you journey forward (marching order required) A trap (Disadvantage if the one leading can't see) Need perception of 14 or higher to see (Passive or roll) If the trap is set off? Heading downhill behind the team is a massive boulder! Can stop it with a strenght save of 20! Or run! Run is Athletics can use Acrobatics to try and dodge the boulder as it comes down. Need an athletics or acrobatics of 14 to avoid. Anyone hit by the boulder? Takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage. After that the next trap is a wire trap that sends out wolves. (3 winter wolves) Perception of 13. Wolves will stealth too. If perceived and noticed? See it's an alarm of sorts and find the wolves sleeping instead. Than up ahead of that? Is yet another trap. This time firing swords in the one at the lead! The back of the line must make a perception roll of 12 or higher to notice they are being followed by elves. 6 Drow (Only one stealth roll though if the back fails) If spared? They tell you that some of the Fyurians are working with an ancient vampire because they heard of the Great Plains planning to gain more power. That they don't more than that. The great vampire might be in.. Fyuria. So journeying ahead a skeleton lies ahead. It lets the lead go so the lead requires a perception of 15 Twitching ready to strike the second (Second needs 12) Skelliton has skelly statblock but with greatsword. It strikes out with advantage if unnoticed! (Well strikes either way) If noticed they dispatch it easily (No fight required) After it slashes he team takes it down (100EXP) Heading on deeper is a hallway with holes in the wall. Whoever is third in the line order a giant spider will try to attack with stealth! (It rolls stealth) Same case as with the skeleton. Spider came out the hole. Notice several sleeping spiders in the walls. Later on ahead it seems brighter and easier to see due to some strange magical ore around. Only to see the Vampire Spawn approaching the party with rapid speed! If defeated but not killed it knows the master is in Fyuria's capital in it's underbelly using the elves to cause strife. To what end? Only the master knows. [h3 Maruaders Crew:] Agravain the head of the Marauders. Agravain is a LV 7 Barbarian of the Bear and a real nasty SoB. CR is also 7 he himself gives 3000EXP (100 more exp than a usual CR 7) This encounter is balanced for lv 5. Marauder hideout/Gareth knows where it is. Gareth knows the layout! Though the traps and guard will have been changed. The front has some guards before entering! Can stealth past! However upon viewing the gate guards? Notice they aren't well equipped and seem rather weak. Can steath if you wish. Three custom made soldiers guard the front. CR 2: 450EXP 1st: Sword and Board fighter: HP: 21 AC: 18 (Chain Mail) CON: +2 DEX: +2 STR: +2 Everything else zero Longsword: 1d8+2 Shield: Sentienal feat Mage Apprentice: Two 1st level spell slots HP: 13 AC: 11 (robes) DEX: +1 Cha +2 (Casting modifier) Spell to hit is +4 Everything else is 0 Shield: (reaction) Burning Hands: Action Shield of Faith: Bonus action Fire Bolt: Cantrip Rogue DEX: +3 CON: +3 Everything else 0 HP: 19 AC: 16 (Breast Plate) Multi Attack: Rapier: 1d8+3 This will bring out the captain of the front guard.

Heading down the hall is a patrol! In this underground tavern of sorts. 4 displacer beast! 2800EXP Can try and stealth at them or past them. They are lawful evil so no animal handling. Marching order needed. As they head on the place becomes like a maze no survival needed as they have Gareth. The back and front roll a Perception check against two helmed horror stealths. (They get disadvantage as they are wearing plate.) 2200EXP 4000EXP all together! Walking up ahead is a woman begging for help! She's got a longsword and blood on her saying she stole a sword and got away. They were gonna kill her. Gareth will say he doesn't remember Agravain caring much for women but his men... Insight 10-13 she seems oddly at peace with her circumstance. Insight 14: She seems too calm Insight 15-19: She doesn't seem to be angry but instead you sense a little bit of nervousness but.. Not the kind that comes from terror. 20 or higher this women is not telling you something. Heading down you notice fancy statues along with other decorations. The statues are bestial sculptures. Follow her down the path ahead to go save her little sister. (Or tie her up attack her etc) If she isn't tied whoever she is nearest to she will attack. She's a commoner. But with longsword. Perceive against her stealth strike if failed she attacks you're AC with advantage but is quickly defeated. (10EXP per party member) However when she does this attack? You will be ambushed! By 3 gargoryles! (Perception against one of their stealth rolls) Can attack them before too if the player investigates 10 or higher. 5350EXP As you head down notice the same hallway 3 times. Describe as such. It's here when you see... A few things. Kaida's beloved patron alive and well! As well as Sol's master with a better attitude And Agravain telling Gareth they can head back that the boss will forgive him. They are his family. For Mary it's her mother and father.

Nathaniel will handle 9 broodguards while they handle 6 broodguards and the pit master. The Pit master is a "Hunter" who's worked with the raiders he was only a grunt than but he was part of Mary's village Raid and Kaida's patron slaying. But his orders.. They came from Caelum.
