The Gang Splits Up
How honest is too honest? The group wavers on exactly how much to tell James, who seems grateful, but also doesn't seem to believe that there was anything other than a cellar below the house. Carindrina makes a friend with Karkov, and the party splits to find out more information before meeting back at the cemetery to perform the ritual for James' father's burial.
Find The Abbots
The Abbots: Neil, Jolie, and their daughter Hannah, have been missing about 3 weeks. They are part of the Feyblossom chapter, and moved to Balvonier to investigate the missing children. They were heading to Spindledown in their last message, then no contact. Derek Fennburn is worried about their safety, and this is Belladonna's chance to prove herself. The house seems to be wildly overgrown for only 3 weeks missing, with deadly plants. Inside they found a notebook, outside they found a hidden tunnel.
What Is Blitherby Hiding?
The Baron's death was suspicious to say the least. The "family curse" is apparently real, and darker than imagined. Who took the family sword and why? Why are there abandoned and hidden temples under the castle? How will James choose between honoring his promise to his love and his father's promise to the Tanglewoods? Blitherby's strange almost-Shinze braid and the strange temples under the house make him a prime suspect--but what did he do?
Blitherby's letter was quite suspicious. Now that Elaine's relationship to James as his fiance has been revealed, how does that impact the baron's death? Should James honor this contract or follow his heart? The group agreed to speak to the Tanglewoods, but when they arrive in Thornyside, the Lord and Lady are gone, and they are told that Elaine is not herself, though they have yet to find her.
What Do The Visions Mean?
The Seer gave four of the group a vision. They were confusing, some disturbing, and all hopefully will begin to make sense soon.
For now, the group needs to keep them in the back of their mind, see if they can find a parallel, and see if anything starts to fall into place.
Find The Glasserune Sword
The Glasserune sword was found under a pit of flesh and bones in a partof the stoneblood dungeons long ago locked off, it led back into the mausoleum in the cemetary. It was very suspicious. After returning the sword to its sacred altar, the group worried they would not be able to get it back for the ceremony to bury Hanburn, but it worked out.
Find The Missing Children
The Children have been found, but the question remains: who took them and why?
