The party’s active quests.
The ghost of Sir Brandon beseeches you to go to Brandonsford, to the crypt below the city, and secure the artifacts being kept safe there. The artifacts once belonged to the Cold Prince. Sir Brandon senses that someone has been within the old crypt “recently”. He says the town of Brandonsford can be found to the north along the Adriel Way.
Including monsters encountered and treasure collected.
Killed the last two spectral dogs and ghouls. (63 xp)
Looted from the ashy remains of the spectral hunter a pouch containing 150 ancient silver pieces (150 gp) and the Stag & Ivy Hunting Horn.
Continued to the north, to a smelly fishing beach, digging up some coins (40 gp) and catching a 2’ long cave fish.
Flew along the river to another bay, finding a boat, dead adventurers, and some treasure hidden in a pile of bones and driftwood (2,124 gp) along with the Crystal Dagger—and the upper half of a ghoul attacked but was quickly dispatched (20 xp).
Went south and found a gnome of Heretic named Sagglow, letting him go in “exchange” for “treasure” on the other side of a chasm, which turned out to be an illusion disguising a 1’ tall Black King chess piece.
Barged in on three troglodytes (whose names were Old Gregg, Nancy Fingers, and Tomfool), killing them (75 xp) and finding their treasure behind a secret door (1,394 gp).
Returned to the boat on the bay and took it down the river, past some fishing gnomes (right through their nets), past some large hypnotic lizards, and down a waterfall…
…Into the incandescent grottoes below, where you splashed down in the middle of a small lake and swam to safety.
There, spoke with the monkeys, learning of the caverns inhabitants and the water-breathing properties of Bubble Moss.
Spent an uneventful night beside the water.
In the morning, followed the monkey’s vision to its home down the river, deeper and deeper until it reached a truly massive waterfall and endless cavern, there it climbed out into the forest above.
Traversed the crystal corridor and collected Scarlet Pimperelles.
Ate Purplescent Moss with a gaggle of doglike kobolds, learned what they were about, then collected some of the moss for yourselves.
