Section titled Betrayal!!Review
Section titled ReviewLast we left off, Wu and Fill had a moment together discussing a familiar green entity before you all were approached by a dragonborn man and woman named Delilah and Leo’Kan Nabal.
You learned about their group known as The Whisperers who are helping people in need escape the civil unrest in the city. You also learn that they are you former party member Leodel’s biological parents before they left to attend to their own business.
Upon leaving; you were ambushed by some Krymetime Krew members including one wielding an unfamiliar magical device that was seemingly primed to make the brute significantly harder to down before two miraculous attacks by Salvador and Graxious damaged the device enough to destroy it.
Shortly after the battle ended; you heard marching noises from the central streets of the city and you realised that a mass number of the Krymetime Krew had gathered together including cart mounted weapons and brutes being lead by Samira and Brick towards Castle Neverwinter.
Bridge
Section titled Bridgeand that’s where we’ll pick up…
You’ve just seen a small army of heading towards the central seat of the city. You have all expended a fair bit in a fight against only a single brute and 3 grunts. What are you going to do?
Lucius’ Message
Section titled Lucius’ MessageLucius will message a random party member informing them that it is chaotic at the Alagondar Trust Tavern and that they were blindsided. Someone is going to join them and help them get to Alison where they can regroup safely.
”It’s absolutely chaotic here. Rowland says to get to Allison for help. We’ve been blind sighted. Darren is on his way to you now.”
Darren Brigg will arrive moments later in a hurried sprint and is a bit puffed out. He’ll be there to aid them sneak past the crowd to cross over to the Eastern side of the city. He’ll present some Vaa’ruul tech the Trust had stolen to help them out, which will buff the party with +10 to stealth checks for 10 minutes.
Sneaky Sneaky!
Section titled Sneaky Sneaky!”The rear of the small army has now passed by your current location and you now have the option to safely cross to the other side of the city.
You get the feeling that there are lookouts still watching the central streets so you will need to be stealthy to make it across.”
The party will need to make 3 successful group stealth checks before 2 failures to cross the width of the city without detection.
Successes increases DC by 1 and Failures increase the DC by 2.
Detection will result in them being chased by at least 2 brutes and 2 grunts - leading them to Alison’s could be a bad idea so the party will have to decide if they hide first.
Forwards
Section titled ForwardsAlison’s Assistance
Section titled Alison’s AssistanceSpeaking with Alison she’ll present the party with 3 options:
- Restore 1 party member to full HP
- Fully Restore 1 party member’s resources i.e. spell slots, ki points,
- Restore the entire party to at least 50% HP.
If asked - she’ll part with a greater health potion for 25 gold + the 50 gold she already owes them for the book (if they returns it) - otherwise 75 gold (down from 100ish gold).
The Army Stalls
Section titled The Army StallsSamira and Brick will wait outside Castle Neverwinter for the signal to begin their siege - giving the Alagondar Trust some time to catch their breath and setup a somewhat functional defence.
At this moment there is a tension in the air and the party are free to either engage if they’re ballsy/stupid or attempt to disrupt some of the larger weaponry that the Krymetime Krew have setup on carts.
DC17 Arcana check or 24 Strength to disable one of the carts - requires a stealth check as well to do without being discovered.
The Wolf-Pelt Watch…TIMBERRRRR
Section titled The Wolf-Pelt Watch…TIMBERRRRRThe silence is broken when a loud BOOOOM! fills the space and attention is brought to the Northeast of the city. Wolf-Pelt Watchtower has been hit with simultaneous explosions as all 3 levels - as many of its members who now guard Castle Neverwinter fall to their knees distraught.
From the central chamber of Castle Neverwinter - Lavendra can been standing tall with a tear down the side of her face as she shouts.
”WOLFPACK… ATTACK!“
and 50 or more people adorned in the same outfits spring out and surround the Krymetime Krew army as Alagondar Trust members also enter the fray.
BATTLE
Section titled BATTLEThe party can enter the battle blindly or with purpose - play this out freely and let them gauge who they should target.
They’ll see Samira and Brick charge directly forwards into Castle Neverwinter into an engagement with Lavendra and Rowland Cillian. DC18 Perception to see Darren entering with two loaded crossbows.
BLINDLY: Combat with 2 Brutes + 2 Hand cannon grunts + 1 sniper
After 1 combat encounter; have an NPC direct them towards the castle.
