Egan Lassiter Assassinated/Entry Into the Halls of Heroes (Kythorn 20th-21st, 1458)

Criminal Activity

The party prepares for their journey to the Halls of Heroes. Sneatcha plants beans, causing a foul-smelling gas bubble and a well. Friac and Valna go shopping and visit a tavern, where Friac is propositioned by the bartender. The tavern explodes, and Valna is taken to see the town council member for questioning. She gets into a confrontation with Lord Egan Lassiter and is allowed to leave on the condition of reporting any new information. Valna returns to the camp.
  Sneatcha, Cannella, and Cora return to camp and find Darwin, Lady Thalavar, and Jorg waiting. Valna meets Bjorn, the head of the ship crew. Nyx and Valna interrogate Jorg while Sneatcha is attacked by a Night Mask assassin. The party gains information from Jorg and decides to punish him by cutting out his tongue and hands. Darwin takes Lady Thalavar back to safety. Nyx sneaks into Egan's office and discovers he put a hit on the party. A shadow creature kills Egan, and Nyx takes his ledgers. Friac breaks into Egan's house and is attacked by a shadow demon. The demon teleports Friac to a cabin where he meets Karla. Nyx returns to camp and informs the party about Egan's murder. The party decides to rest before heading to the Halls of Heroes.
  The party arrives in the abandoned village of Grimhollow and seeks entrance to the cemetery to find a relic of Valna's family. They encounter Doombringer Grimhollow, who allows them to enter and directs them to the Halls of Heroes. They are given sun rods to light Sacred Braziers of Balance in the crypt to weaken the undead. They encounter undead in a chamber and use the brazier to defeat them before moving on to encounter wolf spiders in the main corridor. They eventually find another chamber with undead, which they defeat using the brazier.
