15.0 - A Clear, Crystal Path
The rain stops.
Getting into Klarhavon- finish Klarhavon article.
They want to investigate to find out what's going on with the Servitor. He will have arrived just the other day, and is already on his way to Lakeside to make a similar speech to the one he gave in Klarhavon. If they want more info on if any troops or anyone else was with him, they'll need to poke around to find an NPC. This NPC will want something done in exchange for exact info. But what?
What's the speech? Something about increased resources being funneled to Grewlheyde to help with the failure of crops over the past decade (it's actually been longer than that; check when you said the ild or aond heart was stolen). Also, gossip and rumor about the bloodthirsty nomads/barbarians out in the reulheyde, something to hint that there's raid problems from the nomads. If they end up out there, Glen can be revealed to have the Ild Seal.
What's the task? It needs to be relevant to the story or we're just pissing away time. Can I tie it into Kallista's plot to make sure we're covering her stuff? Could it be research notes of Teodor's they need to get from the local Keeper's outpost?
We could skip the task, and they could just gather gossip and info in various ways, then just proceed forward to Lakeside. Which I'm tempted to just do. I think we should get on with the main plot. I didn't want this campaign to drag out. If that's the case, can we still have something for Kallista? Maybe another hint that her sibling looks like her and was seen around here. Perhaps they are stationed at the outpost with Ryan's character (but then when they do get there, they've already been shipped off to Ildsletten) And then we'll need to actually flesh out Zaru. And a bit of Lakeside.
And even if you plan for going straight to Lakeside and they don't, you can fill time with a rift. What rift? Well, Flora Cycle is winding down, so it's still technically a water rift. But we can probably start to have a few plant-ish things starting to happen. So maybe something like coral, seaweed, marsh stuff with the rift?
Ok, fuck all that. Let's just have Zaru in Klarhavon. They won't be able to enter until morning. So we'll have Zaru having just arrived in Klarhavon the day before (day?) and giving an early morning speech at the city center. Still get the details of the speech. And then if they want to arrange meeting him, he'll be stationed at the Klarhavon's representative house, but they could arrange to meet him anywhere. They might want somewhere quiet, so come up with some back-alley-like place. He'll come alone, and be after the Natur stone. A bit unaware that Omdanne would even dare set foot on Vira's Aspiration and steal the heart from him. He'll begin combat if it comes to it. How will they escape? Omdanne can intervene, but end up _very_ diminished. And where's Hearty's daughter? She'll be in the Representative's manor.

Plot points/Scenes

Entering Klarhavon
They can enter the town, but the guards will be suspicious. Where are they coming from and why are they arriving so late? They will be checked unless they can pass a DC 13 charisma check. Detained in the guardhouse for the night. Released in the morning. Guard's name? Malik. Yes, he will eventually recognize Atani, but he'll also seem to recognize Kallista (you got a twin? Swear you came through here on the way to being stationed in Varlmhavon. you know, all the picketing and unrest going on down there. less community farming as community land is bought by smaller, Laborer-licensed families. These groups can innovate faster and make more food. Displaced farmers move to cities and learn new crafts.). He'll chat with them through the first early part of the night. Otherwise, they can enter town and find a place to stay. Conchoidal Joint; tavern. Walls, windows (made of kinda thick quartz, and overall design of smooth, curved bands (conchoidal fracture). 8sp/person. includes leftover dinner and breakfast in the morning. Common area open to the outside (walled in) courtyard. The other side is a hallway with room and stairs, for more rooms. That area is ringed around an open, outside common bath. dinner? baked fish and roasted veggies, with wine; a simple merlot. water by request. breakfast? bread and cheese, with wine for dipping and watered wine for drinking; cabernet sauvignon.Gathering Info
Representative's name: Autumn Eladrin Elf: There are no simple meals, only lavish feasts. You spend excessively on creature comforts. Paelias Bantius Rufus. Now Day 21 Servitor Kulden will have arrived just the the other day, evening of the 19th. He was meeting with the representative almost all day yesterday (the 20th). giving an early morning speech at the city center (Forum, Klar Forum proper). Hearty's daughter—Glitter—is at his side, as well as another young firbolg male. Speech: Now is the time for them to plan how to approach this. They can glean info that he'll be doing rounds through town, visiting shops and businesses for a few hours before finishing the day with Representative Rufus at the rep's manor; which is where the Servitor and his two parrs are staying. They can gather info that the Servitor arrived with a squad of Altruists, maybe even an Aligner. But they left town, unsure of where they were sent to. And then if they want to arrange meeting him, he'll be stationed at the Klarhavon's representative house, but they could arrange to meet him anywhere. They might want somewhere quiet, so come up with some back-alley-like place. He'll come alone, and be after the Natur stone. A bit unaware that Omdanne would even dare set foot on Vira's Aspiration and steal the heart from him. He'll begin combat if it comes to it. How will they escape? Omdanne can intervene, but end up _very_ diminished.Relations
