Open Threads

Leads, promises, and mysteries the party hasn’t resolved yet. Resolved threads move to the bottom with the date they closed.

Active

• Capture the dragon alive for King Hogboon. The party has the Rope of Unburdening, faun wine (one-third dose knocks it out), and Poldmere’s Holy Sword (Brandon killed his dragon through the mouth). Why does Hogboon want it alive?
• The giant. Learn why it hates goblins and whether the old standoff can be restored or used against the dragon. Smoke was seen rising from a very large house between the barrow and town.
• Grimney’s ring → Broll. Carry the ring to Broll’s cave in the west so Grimney’s ghost can confront him. Broll’s stolen hoard is there.
• The acid-scarred cave at the base of the mountains, probably dragon-related. Not explored.
• The alchemist’s repose, somewhere northeast. Aurelian wants to find it.
• Naganin’s 500 GP, still in Hogboon’s temple. Getting it means going around or through ~19 goblins.
• Warwick’s mithril. Bring him dwarven ore and news of his friends. (The party now knows Grimney is dead and Broll is a murderer.)
• Warwick’s secret admirer. Write back and tell her he can’t read and she should make herself known.
• Father William & Brother Dirk. William sent Dirk to the barrow for the sword, and Dirk is missing. The party hasn’t told William that they have the sword.
• Brandonsford’s morale. Zach’s faction wants to burn the town down and leave. Tad lost a hand trying to rescue the party.
• Blink dogs. There may be more of them in the barrow, and they seem to follow the party.
• Sell the loot. Find buyers, especially a church for the saintly relics and the codex.
• Level up. The GM expects big level gains now that the party’s treasure is safe in town.

Background mysteries

• The dragon’s roar sounds metallic and mechanical, and it lingered at the NW corner of Hogboon’s temple.
• Who is “Brenni,” whose name is on the pick at the burned cabin?
• The faun grove’s gate to Feyland. Naganin warns against using it.

Out of game

• Andrew says only a few threads remain in this module. The next campaign will be Black Apple Brew, run by Tim, with Andrew playing.

Resolved

• Retrieve the sword from the Tomb of Sir Brandon. Done in the untranscribed session between Sep 16 and Oct 5; Poldmere has it.
• Who is drinking Quinn’s beer? Naganin, caught Jul 20.
• The missing dwarves. Grimney is dead (Aug 10), and Broll is his killer (Sep 16).
