Session 20 Prep

Review

The party rescued Uganda Pickles and bested Dagult Neverember and Lamoira in combat. At the point of Dagult’s death; a shadowy claw apparated into the room and claimed something from him before vanishing.
Mike Hawk started recalling some very forgotten memories from his early-childhood at the sight of the claw.
Back at the castle; the party were rewarded with a feast and riches. At this dinner, Mike inquired about his adoptive father, Dixon Normus, and it was revealed - that Dixon and Cucumber were secretly Mike’s real parents.
A family discussion was had between Uganda, Cucumber, Mike, and Haestus before everyone retired to their rooms to further discuss the matters.

Bridge

You’re in a very well furnished double bedroom - blue velvet and silver trim adorn the dark oak wood that comprises the structure of the room.
Uganda quickly gets bored/angry with the discussions, and heads off to his own room.
Leodel recalls something about talking to Ander before he leaves for Neverwinter in the morning.

Forwards

Where is Uganda?

He was convinced by his mother and Erolith to go on a bit of a boys trip to clear his head after a deep and meaningful conversation with lots of crying.

The election continues?

The election will not occur.

Vok and Loogan are both uninterested in winning after the events that have occurred; both scared for their lives.
The party are asked by Harbin to either convince Adabra Gywnn to take the role or find a suitable alternative. DC 15 persuasion.
- Alternatively; if Lamoira is alive at the end of the conflict - it is possible to suggest her for the position.
- Randall; Halia’s assistant, is also out of work now given her death, her estate being closed and managed by whomever her foreign benefactor was. Randall will accept the position if asked by Harbin; who might take some convincing if the party mention that he used to work for Halia. A DC 14 insight check will show that Harbin is giving away that he feared Halia wanted to overthrow him as well.
Returning to Adabra once anyone has claimed the title of Townmaster’s Hand will reward the party with 300 gold.

Where to go next?

If the party seem lost on where to go - prompt them with:

Ander Praze approaching Leodel and saying he’d really appreciate if they all came along to Neverwinter with him, having been kicked out of his Hometown.
- This would also allow Fill to begin the questline The Other Cleric of Santa Claus
Zomon Truthtaker has left a letter in Halia’s study for Alberic - telling the story of one of his prophetic dreams

I’m standing on the edge of a cliff. The waves are crashing, breaking, and water is spraying onto my face. The next moment I’m in a field of flowers and light green grass. I’m as peaceful as I’ve ever known the concept. The moment that I give into the peace - I hear a foreboding voice penetrate my mind and my soul. “Beware… The Violet Horde arrives.” and suddenly all I see is destruction. A wave of monstrosities; far worse than an fiend or fae creature could dream of becoming, rolling towards me and consuming everything in their path. The world - torn to shreds around me and I am helpless to do a thing. The last thing I see before I myself am consumed is a pale man with purple fire in his eyes, wearing a white mask that covers his face barring his mouth. “We’ve taken too much time to get around to cleaning up this mess.” is all I hear and feel before I am forced awake.

Illsaiim Aasithmir - will be hanging around Halia’s offices asking very frustratedly for a man called Randall who can be found in the Underground Fun House.
