DM Notes – C01.S01.10
[Campaign Note] [A Note on Notes]
I had initially planned on Joloobo encountering a Fire Troll in Scene 08, but the dice rolled differently. And maybe that is for the best because that Fire Troll should come in handy later.
At some point I will fast forward again, maybe that point is here in scene 10
What needs to happen during the fast foward?
- Yisi and Valea needs to earn the Keen Defender feat
- Valea needs to learn the Fierce Mobility feat from Fable
- Yisi needs to learn the art of infused inking for his calligraphy
- Joloobo needs to discuss a few of the items he found in the spider tunnels
- Rasi needs to become more endeared to the party
- Elder Arrodonn needs to return (with Elder Thaola) and a conversation needs to happen about Yisi’s parents? I had the thought to tie Arrodonn to Yisi’s largely unknown past – as if that was a secret reason why Teacher Solomvar sent him here.
- The discovery under the monastery, which happened before party arrived, needs to come to light.
Then – the ground needs to shake – Sharpfangs unleashed into a deep gnome through the enchanted and sentient staff. The deep gnome will speak draconic… as a way to show the possession
Total time planned at Treyvigg Monastery was 6 tendays (2 months). There are 5 remaining. Main encounter happens in the last tenday
So then.. Scene 10… The beginning of the last tenday?
In the recap, give the new feats
Elder Arrodonn returns “You look much like your father” he says to Yisi
Elder Arrodon is actually Prince Lamruil Moonflower… Son of Queen Amlaruil…
He knew Yisi’s parents, Rhidellvhann and Ayllavina. (I think I changed these somewhere… or maybe shortened them as nicknames? Vhann and Vina) They were among those who left Evermeet to establish Auseriel over a 100 years ago, and after it was destroyed they were there helping to rebuild. Last he saw them was in Auseriel. Elder Arrodonn will notice that Yisi bears Rhidellvhans unusual weapon, but it is now somehow duplicated and smaller. (in time, Yisi will be able to morph the magical material of his Trisula – it is a liquid metal that can take any form. Also – the fact will somehow come to light that Valea’s Basto Sticks are in fact the same material and share a backstory somehow) When Rhidellvhan fought with it, the weapon was a single longsword shaped just as the two smaller weapons at Yisi’s side – a long center spike with a needle point and two needle sharp prongs as hilt guard.
Elder Arrondonn will not reveal his secret identity, nor the secret location of Auseriel, but he will mention the name as the last place he saw Yisi’s parents in 1380. Since Yisi is not quite 30, all of Elder Arrodonn’s knowledge of his parents is well before his birth and whatever has befallen his parents. He will recount their bravery and fierceness in battle, also their love for each other – they could not be separated, even on the battlefield, the two were one.
What else?
Praise for Guide Dawndra
Praise for Teacher Solomvar
A hint of the surprising discovery beneath the monastery
Mention of the fire troll? Rrellette?
A sidequest?
A gift? A blessing? A boon?
Mention of the Red Tears being excavated from the mountain?
How to move into action?
Earth quake?
Or maybe just a deep gnome running out of secret entrance with a long staff and racing to the nearest person (Rasi). Rasi changes, maybe even attacks someone, then runs into the Vale of Soxolone. Party can chase after her, or investigate the secret entrance, or just question the deep gnome (perhaps she fell unconscious with the transfer)
Snirla Terrabones
Deep Gnome female.
Part of the crew under Treyvigg Monastery extracting Red Tears from a secret cache.
She was nowhere near the dragon… she thought – but she encountered a giant claw grasping something very unusual… she could not make out what it was but its material was unlike anything she had ever seen (unicorn horn). The last thing she remembers was touching the material to see what it felt like.
What then?
Pursue Rasi to save her?
Thru the Vale… into the crevice of the Fire Troll… through the spiders and other underground horrors… Will Rasi be an ongoing villian or will party find some way to rescue her? How might they rescue her? Sharpfangs might want to stay in her body… certainly will want to short of something better… Or maybe coax her out into a another dragon? Or maybe kill her. maybe destroy the unicorn staff? Would that purge sharpfangs? kill Rasi?
I don’t know yet….
