The story so far
During the events of the Battle of Sorrows, Quazzy's Warlock Patron Desridaen has lost a valuable Magical Flute, and he wants it back.
Quazzy and friends have decided to make a winter journey to the musical instrument's last known location, likely buried with Mearkis the Sorcerer, in Shobald's Tower in the Kingdom of Chybisa.
On the way the Heroes have arrived in City of Tashal and saved the life of the Bard, Ricard Thirlwell, from Assassin's wanting to steal his alleged Potions of Longevity. The heroes have determined that Senior Priestess Danisa, the Mistress of the Golden Banquet, at the local Church of Halea is responsible, and Ricard would like to see her punished.
Location - The City of Tashal in the Kingdom of Kaldor.
Part 1 - Dealing with The Bodies
The Heroes have found themselves in a side room of the Busted Nut tavern with two dead Assassins. Luckily, no one is aware of the fight, so they discreetly make their way out of the building. To explain the bodies, Quazzy creates the illusion of some undead monstrosity in the building. The party relocates to the nearby Iron Bell Inn.
Part 2 - Meeting with the Queen-Mistress
Ricard asks the party to investigate his lover, the Halean Acolyte Elysant (Ellie). She was involved with financing the creation of the Potions of Longevity, but was she involved with the plot to steal them?Yureb, using his alter ego Boris, visits the Temple of Halea to arrange a personal religious service with the Acolyte so that she can be questioned in private. He meets with the Queen-Mistress of the Temple Silena Ekiar to make arrangements. The meeting went well, and the personal religious service was organized for that evening. He is also invited to the church's monthly Shesneala service held in a few days.
