A Fated Meeting - The Wintervale Saga - Episode 33
14The party spends the night in Northbury, preparing their next move. However, with some investigation, it was discovered that the one named Cassandra, a woman burned for witchcraft, is related to the cloaked necromancer from Agatha's past. And furthermore, it seems as though that perhaps Cassandra was nothing more than a victim of a possible contagion attack within the city, though further details are still unknown.
Deciding to ultimately leave and deal with the more immediate problem, the party makes their way further north towards the old Northbury ruins, which appear to be completely overrun by the Umbra clan. Fighting their way through waves of guards, the party gets a chance at a small rest before being able to continue on. With the means to continue on and bypass the locked gates, the party determines whether it would be more beneficial to head straight for the Shadowfell gate, or to explore the closed-off living quarters to find anything that could be useful to assist them.
With resources gradually being spent and the opposition losing numbers, it seems as though things remain balanced between the two groups. Could something happen to try and tip the scales in our party's favor?
