Last time we spoke to Mirna Dendrar (and Quelline Alderleaf) and Sister Garaele, the Nothic and the Stonehand adventurers, Lluranu
Glasstaff's glass staff is enchanted as a Staff of Defense. We also discussed tactics, maybe everyone can start dodging more.
Redbrand escapees: 3x caravan ambushers were let go, 1x ruffian who escaped, 1x Grista, landlady of sleeping giant.
Sildar - Glasstaff real name, Lord's Alliance, Amafrey de Corlinn, what dwarves are looking for?
Tells us what has gone on since battle, investigated the house. Bugbears who took slaves are being hunted - few weeks its been going on so lots of people.
Thinks Glasstaff was Iarno but has no proof. Sildar was looking for Iarno before all of this.
Anathema has docs from Triboar tree stash which has Iarno's name on it saying he's going to Phandalin to look for thief. That with Squat's testimony prove he was running Redbrand. We ahve first dibs on bounty mission to dispose of Iarno and proof.
He's talked to Amber about her joining Lord's Alliance and given her a trial quest. Has similar quest for us - if we Harbin Wester quest on the Tor. he would consider us for Lord's Alliance. Sildar sends us to Harbin Wester to deal with Brughor Axe Biter (orc) who's killing caravans.
Amafrey is working as a fighter. Trusted by Sildar - interested in how Phandalin is run.
Docs from House tak about (maybe some research missing) Dwarfs and elves have pacts, with Humans helping to make magical items. When orcs invaded Wave Echo Cave, much destroyed. Lost location and potential treasure.
Gundren let slip by Sildar but Gundren backing Rockseeker dwarves who have heirloom map showing location. Gundren was holding map, Nundro had memorised it, Tharden was with them but got taken by goblins. Nundro escaped and may have gone straight to Wave Echo Cave. Tharden is still held by goblins and needs to be saved.
Stonehand adventurers have quest to Cragmaw Castle where goblins are holding Tharden. They have Gundren and Droop with them to help.
As loot from house sildar gives scroll of fireball, potion of invisibility made amateur. Journal of adventurer about cave and magic mace - Pages from Urmon's Journal - Rare potion ingredients, liquid mercury, nightshade, dragon bile. Nothic used lots of mercury so not much left. Theres also a bunch of mildly magical trinkets.
Daran Edermath - white Hawk but knee injury - old man, half elf. lots of his extended family is in Phandalin. Used to be an adventurer. Looking for young people to look at old owl well which is strategic location. His group keeps the peace. He directs people. People report being chased by the undead. THere is a watchtower which might be being used for bad magic. Beginner gauntlet is cheval, then marchion, white hawk, vindicators, righteous hands.
Thistle is his son who runs shop. Likes Tharg.
Talk to captured dwarf, squats, shanjan.
Dwarf is following Stonehand adventurers to Cragmaw Castle. We could go along with them but they are OK themselves.
Shanjan (necromancer) - helps out at Conyberry sometimes. He is in Phandalin at moment with Big Al. He has a ghost dog familiar. Undead vulnerable to radiant damage, holy magic. Less vulnerable to necrotic and poison. Sometimes vulnerable to fire. Skeletons more vulnerable to bludgeoning damage than poking. Created by negative energy. Was interested in our negotiations with skeletons in manor where roots to loccation balanced negative energy which is unusual. If spirit moves to different place if untethers them from locations. It was context. Bones in loyal family crest vs battlefield. Necromancy to speak to dead is different from reanimation, because have to go through spirit world (possibly time and location). rather than just putting juice in bottle.
Shanjan interested in demonbiter and the necromantic field beneath the mansion, which is where he goes now. Has no advice for demonbiter.
Squats says look out for Redbrow, aka 'The Great Magoo' who forged the letters often changes his face so we might not recognise him. We know him from Neverwinter. He is a trickster. He was in town last week before us but squats hid.
Thunderbeast Tribe might come to Phandalin and Tharg could level up.
Midmornign when we set out along Triboar trail.
Day 36
find magic bush soaking up water to make giant blackberries to make wine - gushberries - five bottles worth. Next to river which is too swollen to cross.
Anathema looks for feathers for arrows - ducks and a large parrot. Missed but has roast goose and trout for lunch. Pushed tree over as bridge for next people.
Day 37
In the afternoon we find a sign. Some thieves cant and other marks - Druidic. Both groups nearby. Reach Conyberry in late evening.
Next: Agatha, the Banshee of Neverwinter Wood
