Bye Bye, Boys! Have Fun Storming the Castle!
The group decides to venture into the mist and storm the castle. Along the way, they nearly die, make a friend, and are surprised to find the castle devoid of life. But is it devoid of the undead?
Heal The Poisoned Waters
What is creating the evil pollution of the waters in the temples below Stoneblood Manor? Why are there undead creatures re-animated with this acidic slime? What is the source of this water? Furus gave a sample to Yvaine Stormhold at the Bubbling Candle Apothecary and found that it is part acid, part necrotic damage, and an unknown poison. Tey sent the water away to see if they could find more answers. At the Abbot House, the well is filled with the same water, and Sundrop says that the well overflowed and then evil plants came, trapping her in the yard.
While being attacked by a Drowned Maiden, the group prayed to the spirit of the water. Wonderous glowing jelly-sifh like creatures came from the canal and defeated her, saving Nira.
Adalia thanked them, and they asked her to help save their water. She agreed.
Their list of favors owed grows ever longer.
Rescue Hightown
Hightown appears abandoned, but Nell Bund tells the group a strange story. There was a party at the manor and afterwards attendees didn't seem right. People were taken from the streets, including her twin sister Alora.
She says they carry lanterns that emit darkness and are attracted to noise. They seem to patrol the area. While the group hasn't met one yet, their exploration of the city was not without peril.
The group promised to return to help Leonora free Hightown.
Release The Drowned Maiden
Without the help of the Agathion, their tryst with the Drowned Maiden may have been much worse. Drowned Maidens can be completely defeated if you bring them their murderer.
She is gone for now, but how soon will she be back?
Will the group hand over a life to save her soul? Is murder justice for murder?
