C1S20: Preparations

  is the twentieth session of the first campaign. While preparing for war, the party works to bolster their arsenal and help a elderly woman...

Synopsis
After dealing with curses and magical gateways, the party returned to the city of Hupperdook to prepare for their looming travel to Shadycreek Run to take on the Jagentoths and the monstrous Jason. Receiving aid from the Shadowhunters, the party received a demonic sensor and two runed daggers of evil slaying. Going around town, the party bought a launcher firearm from Nima Cinnarid, ordered a week’s worth of explosive acorns, left the vox seeker with Cleff Tinkertop, and bought some healing salves from Zendasa, the human druid. The party additionally gathered small amounts of material components and attempted to have their gun repaired by Cleff, only to be informed they needed a license to have it legally repaired, especially since the gun they owned was a De Rolo manufactured one, a firearm created by the Mr. De Rolo, who with other adventurers stopped Vecna, a lich turned god. The Empire appeared to have business with the De Rolo’s regarding the firearms, so Cleff could only give Badis a better understanding of what to do to fix it and what materials she needed to buy.

The party stopped by Poric Bronzefern’s estate as well to see if they could purchase or trade for any of the items in his collection but could not trade for item of worth there. After that the party collected a quest from a Liltra Lastbonk, an old woman who lost her ring traveling back to Hupperdook and wanting brave adventurers to help her find it. The party met with Liltra on the 12th of Fessuran. She was an old woman who traveled with her deceased husband who after returning from two tours as a soldier became an adventurer. She kept his military uniform nicely kept in her closet. She joined the party asking that they take her carriage. Organizing themselves, the party took off traveling most of the day. In the evening, Badis casted commune with nature and Che and IM spared with Liltra look on with awe. The morning of the 13th of Fessuran, Badis was able to determine that Liltra had her ring the entire time and was looking for another adventure. Liltra was able to tell Che and IM that her ring was where a pack of three trolls were. Springing into action, the party were able to fell the trolls stopping all of their regenerations. With the trolls dead, Liltra “found” her ring and she thanked the party. Making their way back to Hupperdook that night, the party relaxed in their cave, shared their backstories, and explored the Underdark.

The following morning on the 14th of Fessuran, the party went back to Liltra’s home finding that she had passed away in the night with a smile on her face. She left the party a Tome of Mental Fortitude, a Brutal Longsword, and a Vestige of Divergence: Danoth’s Visor. Not immediately aware of the power of the Vestige, the party had it identified with Rupert and then attempted to sneakily appraise it at Poric’s. Through both experiences, the party realized that this Vestige is a lot more powerful that at first glance and it was worth to keep attuned so that it could grow in power with it’s wielder.
