Silver Helix Missions#

Have seen an undead city made out of bone. Observed it.
Not seen any sign of liches, but the unusual undead lifespan reeks of lich magic.

Eirik Takeover#

  • I saw Adalon yesterday. He has kept me updated.
  • I did not realise these liches you were fighting were connected to kiaransalee.
  • it's an issue that is unforgettable to my family. my grandmother was alive at the time.

  • my mother was orphaned at a young age as a consequence of her actions

  • PERSUASION: she was fighting for Sembia at the time, with an ally from mages guild; Dyounoru/Verani was a very dynamic duo at the time.

  • i would help if i hadn't had obligations to the sultan outstanding (generic excuse, she's not here)
  • but there is something i can do.

  • promise me, you avenge my grandmother, hands you her longbow.

  • KIARAN: stop these liches at all cost.

  • she interpretted the prophecy briefly and suggested candlekeep, but also said time is probably more critical if they said "got third soul", then prophecy says "needs 3"

  • SHAR: i heard you were trying to find passages to the shadowfell.

  • i hope you pardon my intrusion, but i was just trying to make sure that you would not get yourself into a bad situation.
  • we have watched dragonlake for some time, many creatures use it as an access point, some more stealthy than others (dragon worst if they ask, vampire bat transform into swimming, but no splash), but more usefully, a boat, The Black Doctor. It's operated by a creature that goes by the skipper.
  • skipper; he's a deep gnome who resides beneath the storm horns (followed him), we have not seen him for a while, but he has taken creatures across before.

Party prior knowledge#

  • you would know about a powerful group of champions based in waterdeep that's been running errands for the various mages guilds with an unclear motivation
  • consisting of a thiefling, an intimidating goliath, and occasionally a rogueish figure
  • noticed by various thieves guilds in waterdeep, luskan and neverwinter
  • selling extremely powerful artifacts on the black market
  • you heard they were present in the demonlord assault on waterdeep
  • then they disappeared off the radar for a while at the same time as luskan's demise from a gnoll incursion (and the party was spotted there around the same time), but a lot of thieves guild contacts vanished a that time naturally
  • resurfaced in waterdeep later

Expected damage#

3 attacks (distant strike horizon walker), hunters mark x3 (+2 attack roll from archery feat), can empower one damage dice (elven accuracy feat) + 1d8 favoured enemy
