Redfall 03, 2020KC

Wavecrest Tavern, Heyton's Thorpe, Outding Refuge     Before Reginald left, he talked about how his "Uncle" may have been responsible for his family not having the true power of royalty they were supposed to have had. He brought up how his father's mages were unable to use Message and transport spells here.   He will try to see if he can find a way off, and anything he learns, he will share with the team. He also gives Shadow the Bloodstone and the Ring of Alertness.   The Dragon flew by outside, and the party saw it attack something way off in the distance. It then flew back to the mountain.   Back at the tavern, they started to pay attention to the rumors going around.
  • more about possible ties of the Sahuagin with the Dragon.
  • There have been fewer Sahuagin, and many of the villagers have been noticing the party in favorable terms.
  • The resources on the island have been growing thin, but there have been magical ways to get food and water.
  • It Seems people are afraid of an Emmerick Carlsbad, a name mentioned by those who captured Bastion. Possible crime problem with him hassling business owners.

Return to the Crypt

  The party split up with the women going to Helga's, passing by a tattoo shop run by a Tortle, and the men going to see the Mayor, Viggie Storr.   Helga was a very old woman who had some Healing Balm for sale and all types of other knick-knacks and things that the party did not pay much attention to. There was also a few Healing Potion.   They stopped at Tortle Tipsy's Totally Torrid and Top-Notch Magic, and Non-Magic Tattoos of the First Waters.   Where they found out there were a variety of Magic Tattoo methods available. They were given a brochure.   The men went to the Mayor, Viggie Storr's, who was not very helpful.   At the Outding Refuge Church, they found a priest (mid-60s Human with blue and white robes).    
Priest, Charles Montagu: He talked about only 1 Heyton heir left, Lars Heyton.
    Heyton Manor: A lady on the porch was reading a journal; her name was Ursa.  

  Ursa: She has worked for Lars Heyton for five years. He has been gone and possibly at the Outding Refuge Temple Ruins to the south to find more info on the Dragon.   She offers a cloak and a few potions to find Lars. His journal, what she was reading, discusses how he felt the villagers had rejected the Heyton's. He had a sense of entitlement. He had a lot of interest in a magical forge and the temple to the SW of the island. He was a frequent visitor who knew of a secret entrance and a labyrinth of tunnels.   Notes on the Dragon and its connection to the island   The Heytons were aware of the Dragon. There is some connection to the Dragon and the crystals as well. It seems the forge may be mixing properties with the Dragon's lair.
  Back to the crypt Ghost Kyleanna Heyton said she could temporarily touch things again, but a cloaked man came into the crypt after the party left. He went to the lower passages and got angry when he saw the missing Books and damaged Crystal. He did something to the Crystal and then pulled out a skull from the mummy's tomb.

  Kyleanna Heyton: The party talked to her a bit and learned more about the war between the Sahuagin and the cannibals. The tribe used the Dragon to protect them. They made sacrifices of blood and Gold to the Dragon. They ended up putting it to sleep with something still in the mountain. Misery's Peak. Some Crystal.   Her husband and children damaged the temples severely.
  In the crypt, the skull was missing from the sarcophagus. The party fought the wisp and won.
