Shelter Squabble

Criminal Activity

The team doesn't find Durum, but they do come across an interesting items

Windwalking to Shelter of the Crossroads, A small fortified abbey on the Trade Road, the crew get's to work helping the locals set up their defenses. They know that Durum is targeting artifacts, and this church houses The Barding of Artasia, the barding worn buy Artasia during the defense of Iriaebor. The Princips Magus pulled them aside to get their opinion on some strange mithral vases they liberated from a Zhentarim convoy. 

Inspecting the vases the Princips shows them that these vases do not radiate magical aura's on their own, but if held by someone who has an active Conjuration spell, such as Mages Armor, it starts to radiate an aura that seems to contain Evocation and Conjuration. Intrigued Boh asks if they can take one to study, and the Princips agrees. 

The alarm bells go off, the reliquary is being attacked by Shadows. The team rushes to the defense thinking that Durum is attacking, but the assault turned out to be a distraction while a mystery man who can control lights and blend into shadows stole the remaining 5 vases.
