D&D Session 17

Ruined Castle on the hill

Tharbin & Bluebell successfully arrive at Phandalin and drop off the cart before heading of to the inn to eat and have some refreshments in moderate to excessive amounts. They discuss the observations of Bluebell's familiar of the mob heading south east, that they had encountered on the trail earlier. A short time later they head back up the trail and everything seems surprisingly quiet.

Elsewhere, in the tower Silanne & Tremen continue to question the humans acting as zombies, whom inform them that they were sent here from Neverwinter as part of the Sildar’s Lords Alliance group, whom were paying them to pretend to be zombies to stop the goblin incursions. They push for more information and is informed that about a week ago the tower was attacked by a mob of goblins with green glowing weapons, but they ran off when they saw Haman in his red cloak.

Tremen then casts detect magic followed by detect evil a short time later but finds nothing other than a faint sign of magic in the direction of the tent with Harman in it. He passes this information onto Silanne & continues with his questioning of the humans. He pushes for proof of their employment with Sildar & some parchments & broach/badges are presented as proof.

Meanwhile Tarqual decides to enter Haman’s tent and have a nosey, Haman is muttering to himself whilst pulling out a surprising number of pots & pans out of a very small bag. Tarqual continues with Fiorana’s questioning & asks him again who told him about us. He pushes Haman for an answer which seems to annoy him & Haman issues a threat – he points his finger & a small electrical spark frizzles from it, it as at this point Tarqual decides to leave. Fiorana pays close attention to Haman and notices something as he becomes agitated by Tarqual's questioning, she signs something towards Silanne (she later informs the party she noticed a tattoo on Haman that became alive & appeared to be running.)

Silanne catches up with Fiorana before entering Haman’s tent and forcibly continues the interrogation which frightens Harman, but some mention of locations of Wiventour & Gragmaw castle locations are extracted before Silanne storms out of the tent with Haman shouting but, but I haven't finished telling… out to him. Crom enters the tent & sits with Harman & follows up with a discussion in which he is shown 4 globes/orbs with gold discs & a skull decoration on top. Haman gives Crom three & keeps one himself.

Whilst the interrogation questioning of Haman continues Tarqual takes a moment to examine the well and draw some water from it, which he sips. He is surprised how refreshing / invigorating it is and calls Fiorana over for taste, before filling his water bag up with it.

Tharbin & Bluebell arrive a short time later
