Just a quick interlude that wasn’t really a session.
Clarissa decided to investigate the issue of Ednowain and his tower…from the info found at Elvid’s tower. It would take about two weeks to reach the town of Broadwater from where she was in the Lowlands. Along her travels, she was staying at an inn (the Carousing Condor) and met the twin brothers, Remus and Romulus. [Romulus is a human cleric and Remus is a human mage. Both are the new characters that Todd was going to play.] As they had pleasant conversation over dinner, Romulus shared that he had been having visions of the valley of Conallglen being overcome by a cloud of darkness. He and his brother were both traveling to Conallglen to see if they could prevent this darkness.
Clarissa shared the info she had on Ednowain’s Tower and the secret of lichdom. Romulus worried that such a secret could lead exactly to the darkness he had seen in his vision. The three agreed to travel together to Conallglen and see what they could do to both find and then hide Ednowain’s secret of lichdom in the hopes of keeping the darkness from succeeding at devouring the valley.
Their journey to Conallglen was without incident and (I assume) the trio became friends along the way. When the reached Broadwater, it was getting late in the day and they sought out a place to stay for the night. They were directed to the Cask & Flagon, one of the two local inns. As they arrived, another trio of individuals arrived at the same time…a trio who looked tired, battered, and dirty. Before either party could enter the inn or make proper introductions, the door of the inn opened…
That’s the end of the prelude adventures. The party is now together and ready for the full campaign. A lot of different plot hooks are on the table and they’ve got a whole valley to explore.
