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.
The Sword of Glasserune
James Glasserune mentioned the sword was missing the morning they found him drinking in the pub, mourning the death of his father. He explained that his family would turn to a vampire if they were not blessed in a ritual with the family sword within 24 hours of their death. When he went to get the sword, it was missing. He sent them to his house to investigate, and told them that the sword was supposed to be in the family crypts in Resteria Cemetary. When they went to the Mausoleum, they found a silver chest with a false bottom, when they removed the bottom, there was a deep well of concentrated holy water and a crystal sheath submerged in the water. It was determined that only those of a good alignment would be able to safely touch the water. The group found the sword through the labryinth under Stoneblood manor after finding a hidden passage from the Glasserune Mausoleum. It was behind many traps and hidden in a pit of flesh, blood, and bone overgrown with ivy. They exited through another mausoleum (one they suspected was inhabited by vampires) into the cemetery, so they ran to the Glasserune Mausoleum and returned the sword to the crystal sheath in the holy water. With a large hiss of steam as the flames hit the water, the sword sunk into the sheath, the chest closed and it all disappeared.
After a lot of questioning how to get it back and a possibly failed summoning, the sword appeared during the ritual for Baron Hanburn Glasserune and showered him with holy water before lighting on fire and stabbing him in the heart. It then vanished again.
A vampire who is new in town, who is he? What does he want?
Is this the Blethela Stoneblood from the History of Balvonier? The original bride of a Glasserune son who was betrayed at her engagement, and her family slaughtered? What is she going to do?
Jocelyn Glasserune was the late wife of Baron Hanburn, and James' mother.
Baron Hanburn Glasserune is the Baron of Balvonier. He was found deceased the second day of the festival under suspicious circumstances by his only son, James Glasserune. According to a well guarded secret family legend, they have 24 hours to bless his body with the family sword and bury him or he will turn into a vampire. Well liked in town, he was known for being generous and fair.
Blitherby is the very self-important butler of the Glasserune family. He has served them for decades, training under his father, who trained under his grandfather, and so on. The families are intertwined throughout their history. He has a bit of a superiority complex, preferring high elves to other races. Highly organized, he runs much of the day to day work in Stoneblood Manor and arranging meetings for the high council.
James Glasserune is the only son of the late Baron Hanburn Glasserune. His mother, Eriana, has been deceased for some time now. Well liked by the villagers, James is friendly and tries to be involved with daily life, though he can be seen as a bit flighty and perhaps a bit of a scoundrel for how much time he spends at the brothel and tavern. He is almost never seen drunk or otherwise not sober, even if he has a drink in his hand.
