Session 4 : The Moonstone

After helping the people of Newkeep, the party continues towards Belfrost. On the way, they are attacked during the night by Envil Moonbane, the necromancer. He initiates the fight by saying:

“Word has reached my ears that you have something that belongs to me, give me back what is MINE.” What does he want??

The party wounds the necromancer gravely (a critical hit to the face), and he flies off into the night, after uttering a mysterious warning: “It seems I have underestimated you, it matters not. Next time we meet my power will be tenfold ! Great things have been set in motion, things you should never have gotten involved in.” What is he planning ??

Isaya cries out in frustration: Envil Moonbane shall pay for the death of her mother !!! In the dark of night, he recognises the young elf from his youth.“I see you have not learned from your mother’s mistakes. She died trying to stop me, and so will you…” What a total Jerk !!

Upon arriving in Belfrost a couple days later, the party falls back to regroup in the Hunter’s Crossroads tavern and inn in the West Side. They try to meet with Tristan Greystone at the magicians guild, but it turns out he is a high-ranking member and cannot be approached so easily…

They make the acquaintance of Tilly Tanglebray, a young halfling girl who is engaged in a "magical innovation” competition which takes place in three days. She has a terrific idea, but the main power source of her invention: the Moonstone was stolen from her house the night before. The party offers to help her retrieve the Moonstone, hoping that she will win the competition with it and thus gain an audience with Tristan Greystone.

At the end of this rather eventful day, the party choses to split up in order to investigate the theft as quickly as possible. Isaya will research the moonstone in the library to learn more about its origins and potential use. Jerky will try to get information from a mysterious merchant known as Dr. Zhavago who sold the moonstone to Tilly. Daisy will try to infiltrate a secret organization (that Boreth has somehow heard about) based out of the lower docks…
