Trials Of Solaria - Broken Oaths - Session 3 w/Historical Intro
1Session 3
Here we are back in Varnhold. The black clouds are still around. Only around Varnhold that is, very much unlike normal clouds. Panic and chaos throughout the city.
In the most secure-looking building in the city, the Mint, we see once again the party talking with the Queen.
The Queen mentions something that is hunting her. A crone who she met at the Princess Parade. Seeks revenge since the King did not pick her.
We tell her of the redhead lady and she confirms that she is the one hunting her. She is a hag, evil as can be, probably a witch.
As we're talking about it, suddenly there's some scratching at the door. The hag totally knows we're here and that the Queen is here. We stay silent, and she leaves with a simple threat, as the Mint is warded against evil and seemingly she can't enter it.
Anyway, we talk a bit. We draft a contract for everyone and Mikhael has a private chat with the Queen, having an innocent conversation about business dealings and letting her know about all the important things that have been going on. At the same time, Ven and Eckhard are also having an innocent conversation on their thoughts about Mikhael.
Eventually, the contract is complete. We set out, leaving from the front door. Where we're immediately greeted by a gruesome corpse. He has been thoroughly maimed and killed. There's a phrase in Gnomish carved on his back - 'tick tock'. Doesn't seem to be anyone we know based on scent.
Speaking of scent, the whole city smells like decay. Overall very gross. Speaking of gross, suddenly zombies! Plague zombies! Double gross! We fight them, not that we have a choice as they slowly charge at us. Halfway through the fight, G'odife shows up! But she's out of spells, so she's basically useless. Cool.
Anyway we deal with the zombies, G'odife warns us of more coming. We let her in to the Mint to hide and go help out the Musketeers.
Mikhael goes ahead to scout and sees Perry and some other hostages in the main square. Not wanting to go in alone, they turn back and let the party know. Together, we head on and stumble upon the Captain of the city guard, Teressa Varn. She tells us not to go towards the square, as it's a trap.
Mikhael totally smells her bullshit and is pretty certain this is the hag trying to trick us. They try to let the party know subtly, but she's a tad too cunning and catches on as well. Without hesitation, Ven blasts her with a flashbang, revealing her true, hideous form. Oh boy it's fightin' time.
Session Highlights:
• We have a nice chat with the Queen and agree to help out with the hag that's hunting her and trying to kill her.
• Turns out the city is crawling with zombies (heh), so there's that. Also, hey, look, G'odife is back.
• We find the hag and- or… she finds us? We find each other, and suddenly it's fight time.
