### **Recap**

"*Our party were once a bunch of strangers, whose airship crash-landed in a frozen, hostile area on the southern tip of the continent of Suvonna. The party travelled through the dangerous Bitterwood and rescued several civilians, that travelled with them to the small town of Rosehall. After several peaceful days exploring nearby dungeons and healing their various injuries, the party had to deal with loss, and rescued a young girl called Valla after she was kidnapped. After a brief encounter with a ruined Elven palace and the spirit of an Elven princess, which was left in an unclear resolution, the party arrived in Ironwick, where they learnt more about Valla's kidnappers and a plot involving the local lake. Beneath its waters, buried in the earth, was a starship, that once belonged to an advanced empire that attempted to invade Aerois long ago. The Remnant, a group of cult-like followers of the ancient invading empire, had taken over the ship and were experimenting with the power source, a sentient being of energy, an Eterna, called Nightfrost. After defeating the villains and freeing the Eterna, the party escaped before the ship collapsed. They retreated to a log cabin that was owned by the now-deceased Galen Sans, a magewright from the city of Goldthrone. They began to rest for the evening, where Lucius Virion-Elluin Elenasto, a High Elf sorcerer from the sky city of Gusthaven, spoke with the Eterna Nightfrost, and made an agreement.*"
### **Part 1**

*The party have some time to reflect and discover Nightfrost is more than a simple bow!*

The log cabin that Galen had rented is quiet, and Ironwick is now a cold and ghostly town. The sound of heavily falling rain drowns out most of the noise from the rest of the house. Aila sits listening to the rain, clutching her hammer in one hand and a scrap of tartan cloth in the other. She thinks about how close she was to finding out more about her clan in the haunted mansion while also worrying about Valla and sympathising with her situation.

Tucked up beneath a cloak and blanket and stuffed into a large chair is Quill – his one good eye is closed and the howling wind outside causes him to shiver – he is struggling to sleep. His mind is awash with the disappointment that he feels at finding so many places that he has visited with people of ill intent and traitorous behaviour – he is starting to question just who is good and what is his place in the world.

Beside Quill sits Sentry, holding Echo and staring out into the night – she thinks about the Remnant, why they are still here, who could still be in danger from them; she also worries about the party who are as close to her as family since the fall of Solwynn, and tries to work out how to keep them safe.

In the bed opposite Quill sleeps Valla: she clutches the blankets and whispers the name “Yusef” in her sleep before sobbing quietly and subconsciously letting sparks of purple magic dance across her knuckles. Downstairs under a blanket sleeps a leporine form, snoring drunkenly: her white furred ears poke out from beneath a cushion. Standing at the window beside her is a Dwarven man drinking amber liquid from a short glass, his darkened eyes watch the rain fall on the lake outside.

Upstairs, in another bedroom, Nova sleeps fitfully beneath thin blankets as she clutches a short dagger of strange blue and black metal. Her subconscious mind races, thinking of submerged ships, Nightfrost and what he might be, the Eterna and bringing together the fragments of Tiangong.

Beside Nova’s bed, sitting cross-legged on the floor near a softly glowing lantern, is Lucius: his eyes go wide and his skin pales as a dark shape rises from his elongated shadow – a hunched, vaguely humanoid shape of pure darkness with a pair of glowing blue eyes. “Is this more comfortable, Master Elenasto?” it asks him as Lucius screams in terror.

Everyone wakes as a result of Lucius’ shrill cry, Nova sits up in bed, and the others run to his room and burst in to see a distorted, shadowy humanoid form hunched in the corner of the room, talking to Lucius. Lucius is frightened, not knowing what Nightfrost is and wondering if he is part of the Remnant or Court of Shadows – at the mention of these, Nightfrost panics at the idea of being taken back to them and crawls up to hide on the ceiling. Lucius encourages Nightfrost to come down again – he does, backwards, and when he gets closer, his legs meld into Lucius’ shadow, then it changes form into the cloak, a black cloak that is tinted blue and trails an icy mist. All of a sudden, three figures appear at the door: Arval with his crossbow, Evangeline, cocked and ready to fire, Valla with both daggers out, and Estelle who simply stands there and stares eerily into the room. Quill tries to convince Valla to go to bed, but she tells him that the scream woke her up and she now wants to know what is going on. Lucius casts *dancing lights* so that he can admire himself in the only mirrored surface available: Sentry’s arm – he is not impressed with Nightfrost’s lack of colour, but Nightfrost says that he does not know enough about colour. Lucius asks Nightfrost where his eyes are when he is in cloak form: Nightfrost says that he does not need them because he can see all things, including into Lucius’ mind and his thoughts. Lucius panics, telling Nightfrost to get out of his head, so he leaves his cloak form and resumes his shadow form and apologises, scuttling into the corner and cowering there like a scolded pet.

Arval is astounded and prepared to shoot it with his crossbow until Quill stops him, and Estelle explains that Nightfrost is the thing that tried to kill her by draining her life when she was being held on the ship. Lucius asks Nightfrost if this is true, but he says that he did not mean to do it, that they made him do it. He admits to killing the other girls in a similar manner, saying that this is what gave him his thoughts and his strength, but that he did not want it: Nightfrost is babbling, and it is clear that he is distressed and probably a little mad – when this line of thought is too much, his clawed hands go to his head, he screams, “Enough!” and reverts to bow form, falling to the ground.

Nova has also had enough – she comes to Nightfrost’s defense telling them that Damos made him do those things and that they should not bully him and should leave him alone: Sentry agrees. Arval thinks they should go back to sleep, but Lucius is too wound up to do so – he goes over and picks up the bow, calling Nightfrost by name, but Nightfrost will not appear. He takes the bow over to the corner to talk to it and they speak quietly about Nightfrost’s ability to read Lucius’ thoughts – whatever Lucius thinks of, Nightfrost can see, but he cannot read Lucius’ mind otherwise, he can hear the others if they speak to him. Nightfrost says that Lucius can stop him from reading his mind by breaking their bond and unattuning, but also says that it is nice to hear the thoughts of other people rather than just his own – Lucius says he will sleep on it.

They decide to try to sleep for the rest of the evening. Before leaving, Quill looks at the flintlock pistol he retrieved from Damos and thinking about what he has seen with Tiangong and Nightfrost, he looks at the gun, “Hello?” he says. The runed, flintlock-like pistol, engraved with various symbols, has a 4-round chamber, but it says nothing – Quill seems disappointed. Sentry has started to escort Estelle away from the room, but before leaving, she takes one more wistful look at the bow before going with sentry, her face now devoid of all expression.

Nova talks to Lucius, trying to explain the gift that he has been given by bonding with Nightfrost. She talks to him about the Eterna and how they need help and that they may help in return against Kalus if he is actually going to return. Lucius worries that, because he does not know what he is doing, there is a chance that he is powering up Nightfrost to make him ready for the Remnant to take him over, but Nova has the feeling that Nightfrost is genuine when he says that he does not want to be taken by the Court of Shadows again.

Lucius is concerned that Nightfrost is just pretending to be scared so that they will give him what he wants (much like Lucius says he did with his Nanny Norfir when he was a boy): Nova says that Lucius is a good person, and that he can guide Nightfrost to do the right thing. Lucius is concerned that Nightfrost may actually guide him in the other direction. Lucius has much to think of, and they go back to sleep. Aila knows that the weather is turning and that there is a big storm on the way – it will hit in a day or two.

The morning is dark, cold, wet, and miserable. There is an early knock at the door which Aila answers: it is Missy Steeleye, the Field Warden of the town. Missy is a Dwarf with grey hair and spectacles, she has various cuts and bruises bandaged up and wears a shortsword at her side but no armour. She wishes them a good morning and thanks them, especially Aila, for their assistance the previous night, without which she fears they would have been in a lot of trouble. Missy is there to find out what happened at the general store and smokes some home-rolled cigarettes as she waits for Aila to gather the others for questioning.

Sentry and Quill give Missy their version of events while Aila is upstairs. When Quill mentions the ship under the lake, Missy has a pained expression, and they gather that while she may not have known what was causing the glow, that she was not really keen for others to know what was causing it either. Missy tells them that the General Store was broken into again last night with trade supplies and travelling gear being taken – enough for three people. Quill and Sentry tell Missy about their evening on the submerged spaceship and saving Estelle – she thanks them for their help as Aila reappears with the others by giving them a sack of 200 gold coins but asks them to leave town as soon as possible since they will not be particularly welcomed by the rest of the townsfolk. She will send them with a horse and wagon to transport Galen’s body back to Kalie’s Rest.

Nova asks what happened to the three girls – they are missing, and no one has seen them since last night: it appears that they have taken the goods from the general store and disappeared. Nova tells Missy that they were worshippers of Xarkira, Starbane’s second-in-command. Missy thinks it is unlikely that the girls will be heading to Kalie’s Rest as they did not seem to have taken enough supplies for that journey but tells them to watch their backs: she thinks the girls will head into the Ironweald and lie low for a few days. Lucius offers to set up a charity similar to what has been set up in Rosehall, and he offers the 200 gold that she has offered them to go back into the town. Missy says that they may look into salvaging the Remnant ship – the Dragonborn will buy up Remnant tech for good coin. Sanna wakes up, hungover, and heads out into the rain to wash off and wake up.

Sanna returns, goes to get Estelle, then brings her back to the party and asks them to watch her while she prepares the wagon that they will take to Kalie’s Rest – Estelle just stands quietly, staring at them: she tells them that she is not tired or hungry (she does not sleep or need to eat). Nightfrost blames himself for what has happened to Estelle and rambles, madly in Lucius’ mind until Lucius asks him to stop.

Arval is packing gear and going over the map of their proposed route – it will take them a day or so with the horse and wagon since most of them will be on foot. He tells them about Kalie’s Rest: it is a large city with four stone walls, temples to all the gods (including a large temple to H’esper), a Spellclash arena, theatres, stores and so on – it is the largest city outside of Goldthrone. Arval says that he knows the owner of the Dalegeld Company in Kalie’s Rest, Arcturius, who loves his weapons and armour and is very knowledgeable in history.

Lucius quietly suggests that Sentry checks in on Valla, who is standing next to Quill and Arval and playing with her knife. Sentry asks if she is alright, and Valla says that she is, but she is worried that people are after her and her concern is clear to Sentry who promises that they will look after her.

They take the wagon, which can seat two people and carry the body and begin to travel the dirt track that is starting to become muddy in the perpetual rain. Their trip is largely uneventful until they are a few hours out of Kalie’s Rest – Quill hears something strong is bursting through the forest and there is a command from someone to run. Quill points out two figures, both Guardians, running from the forest: one is a male humanoid made mainly from wood with six eyes and carrying a longbow, the other is the size of a halfling, made of darkened camouflaged metal and wood, has two eyes and carries a crossbow and shortsword. The taller Guardian sees them and tells them to get away before a large, winged flying creature breaks through the woods after them – it is a wyvern, but its scales and body are streaked with what looks like iron plates, its claws look like they have an iron texture to them, and its tail is a lump of metal and bone almost like a club.

### **Part 2**

*On the long road to Kalle's Rest the party are beset by two Guardians being chased by a Wyvern!*

The small Guardian runs past them, takes shelter in the rocks nearby and readies his crossbow while Lucius uses Nightfrost to cast *blur* on himself. The wyvern is 15-20 feet in the air, flying: Aila tells Arval and Valla to stay back with the wagon while Sanna moves to the front and gets ready to fight it.

The larger Guardian, Tracker, attempts to shoot the wyvern with his longbow but misses: Arval is starting to struggle with the horse that is now starting to panic. The ferric wyvern bites Tracker and hits Quill with its club-like tail, knocking him prone. Nova’s *heat metal* causes the beast to scream in pain, the horse pulls free of the wagon and is spooked, Scout fires his hand crossbow but misses and Sentry fires her flame lance at the flying creature. Lucius hurls an acidic *chromatic orb* at the beast and follows up with *dichromancy* – the beast responds by breathing a cloud of purple venom at Sentry, Sanna, Quill and the horse. The horse collapses as does Quill, Sanna reels, coughing and spluttering as she tries to breathe. Aila calls on Sentry to hold her shield out so that she can run and jump on the shield, allowing her to hit the wyvern in the air. Nova stabilises Quill and tries to pull him away from the danger but is too weak to move him, so she uses *heat metal* on the iron wyvern once more as it makes its way to the ground: Tracker is impressed with their fighting prowess.

Tracker backs off so that he can use his bow, Valla casts *magic missile,* Sanna, who is still coughing and spluttering, kicks the beast and Arval hits it with his crossbow. The wyvern attacks Aila with its tail, knocking her prone, lifts off the ground, attempts to bite Lucius and hits Nova with its tail, knocking her prone. Scout hits the wyvern with his crossbow, Lucius feeds a healing potion to the unconscious Quill and Nova levitates Sentry 10 feet into the air so that she can reach the wyvern which begins to fly away. Valla casts *magic missile* again, and the beast starts to look extremely battered and bruised. Sensing that Nova is its worst enemy, it bites her and hits her with its tail, knocking her prone.

Lucius asks Nightfrost to change to bow form, but when Lucius opens his mind to the Eterna, Nightfrost is babbling about fighting again and does not respond to the request: Lucius kills the wyvern with *Melf’s acid arrow* which burns through the creature’s chest, dropping its body next to Nova who just avoids being crushed by rolling out of the way.

Nova brings Sentry back to the ground while Arval and Valla check on the horse which looks to be dead. Tracker and Scout formally introduce themselves to Sentry, Tracker says that he has been active for 5 years and that he, Scout and three other Guardians have a place in Kalie’s Rest. Tracker and Scout have been helping hunters in the Ironweald and thought that they were hunting a razor bear this time, but the hunters were all slaughtered by the ferric wyvern. Tracker says that he found the other Guardians, Chip, Sweep and Scout wandering around Suvonna over the last five years in his travels. He says that Guardians were built and kept all over Aerois – some were soldiers, others were assistants, but when the Sundering happened, many chose to shut down and got lost or were forgotten about, others were stored somewhere: Tracker (who had served as a tracker in the Starborne Alliance) woke up in a forest, dug up by a quarry team looking for iron the landscape having shifted around him after he shut down.

Tracker found Scout in a junk shop; the owner had thought that Scout was some sort of suit of armour. He recognises the Solwynn crest on Sentry’s shield and then recognises Sentry herself – Tracker had been in Solwynn learning new tracking techniques and had heard about the new top of the line Guardian model that had been ordered to protect the royal family. Tracker says that Solwynn was famed for their Guardian designs, weapons, and technology: he was not built in Solwynn, nor was he the only tracker – he says he was the fourth out of seven tracking units in his company and used to go by the name Tracker 4.

Tracker offers to help repair Sentry’s broken Echo, telling her that they have plenty of spare parts back at their place in Kalie’s Rest. He tells the rest of them that a couple of the other Guardians can be a little strange, including Smasher who used to be a vanguard Guardian – he used to break enemy shield lines – he is younger than Scout, however. Lucius asks Tracker how long he was active before the Sundering: Tracker goes quiet before telling them that he was active for ten years, reassures them that he is fine, but knows that his time is coming up. Quill wonders what they should do with the ferric wyvern corpse: Tracker says that he will tell the Harvest Guard which will come out and harvest it for meat and materials/parts.

Tracker tells them a bit about Kalie’s Rest as they start making their way towards the city, tracker pulling the wagon behind him – it has always been fairly cosmopolitan, and even Wild Elves are tolerated, but of late, the Church of Palador has started to act in an odd way – they have started saying that outsiders (including the Guardians and anyone not from Suvonna) do not belong and should move along to another city. Sentry asks them if they have heard of the Prime – Scout openly declares that he has not but Tracker looks at Sentry really curiously and says that he has heard the stories but thinks that it is a myth; when Sentry says that she has had visions and was told to find the Prime, he hesitates again before insisting that the story is a myth, saying that the Prime is just an idea. Lucius says that he believes that the Prime is more than a myth; Tracker challenges him, asking what he knows about it and stops again, staring at Lucius when he describes touching the Echo and having the same visions as Sentry. “You’ve seen it? The golden wings?” he asks – he tells them that he has had the same vision but thought that it was part of his switching off process and says that he should speak to them privately later.

Tracker tells them about his vision: he was in the middle of the war, many of his colleagues had been destroyed in an ambush and he was close to destruction himself. The war just stopped, the battles, the magic, and the explosions – out of the heavens, a golden Guardian descended and told him to find the Prime. He thought he was going crazy. Tracker tells them that he has heard the stories – the Prime is meant to be a figure who saves Guardians, it takes who they are and protects them when they go feral. Tracker reluctantly tells them that he has started to show signs of going feral, although some days are better than others: he can sometimes lose hours where it feels to him as if he has been shut off.

They discuss more about what they will do once they get to Kalie’s Rest with Tracker recommending that they go to Queen’s Plaza which is a lovely area of the city with beautiful gardens. Sanna says that she will have to take Estelle home: she is embracing Estelle who stares off into space with a vacant look and did not move or make a sound during the entire wyvern fight. Quill mentions going to the Temple of H’esper and Tracker says that the Dean is “crazy funny” – there is a suggestion that he does not like idiots and may not let some people into the temple. Nova asks Scout about himself who replies enthusiastically: he is much younger than the other Guardians and only remembers being built in Gisella (although he calls it something different), and as soon as he was built, he was sent off to battle to be a scout for the army. He was only in the war for three years before Siaska fell, he recalls the Sundering and then remembers nothing until waking up two years ago.

Aila asks if there are any Wild Elves with tartan in Kalie’s Rest – Tracker has not seen any with tartan and says that a lot of Wild Elves have gone elsewhere since he got to Kalie’s Rest. Quill asks if they can accompany Tracker to report to the Field Warden at Kalie’s Rest and he says that Milika will no doubt want to hear from them.

They eventually see Kalie’s Rest: built on a hill with tiered development and surrounded by large stone walls, there are three main gates to the south (the one they are headed for), the east and the north (heading to Goldthrone). The Harvest Guard here look more professional, all of them wearing red, yellow, and orange uniforms, tabards and matching armour (although they still display some personal items like fur mantles, hats or scraps of cloth, and their weapons are very individualised and adapted from many farming implements). The guards on the gates are checking the wagons, and a man inside the gates wearing long white robes emblazoned with the symbol of an armoured hand facing palm outwards surrounded by flame – beside him stand two knights in full plate armour with greatswords. The man preaches about Palador and exhorts the travellers to visit but not to stay.

Sanna thanks them for their help, saying that she will take Estelle home, then go home herself to the Iron Burrow – she tells them that she is available for hire if they even need her and that she may see them in Goldthrone. The party wonders if they saved Estelle, given her lifeless personality and Lucius hears Nightfrost murmuring, “Alive, but to what extent? Have I drained too much of her? He stopped me before I could kill her. Was he sympathetic, or simply acknowledged that the experiment failed?” He speaks of Tiangong calling them one of the greatest amongst the Eterna, saying that they were powerful, wise, and cunning but that they were tricked by Starbane like all of them. He speaks of the three leaders of the Eterna – the Council – who said that it would be fine and that Starbane would help them: Nightfrost wonders if he was tricked and betrayed. He then goes quiet again.

Kalie’s Rest has an eccentric style – shops and buildings are all over the place and the architecture is not uniform, nor does it make a lot of sense – things are built for function, creating a ramshackle look to the city. The city is very busy and on every major street there is a noticeboard which has a map of the city and key features of the city noted with symbols (many of which are the symbols of the gods, identifying the location of their temples). In the centre of the city, near the Queen’s Plaza, are the main Council offices and the mausoleum of Queen Kalie. They pass by a short, squat, but lengthy building sitting alongside the main street – the temple to Velena – and through the windows they see rows of benches with artisans hard at work, and behind them is an indoor terrace where priests are giving out food to impoverished-looking folk and children.

Tracker sends Scout back to their residence and says that he will take them to see Milika, in charge of the Harvest Guard: he says that she will either be in the council buildings in the Queen’s Plaza or in the Harvest Guard barracks on East Street. They decide to head to the Queen’s Plaza, seeing a multitude of people, mainly Humans and Dwarves, but there are also a mix of other races such as Half-Elves, Goliaths, Genasi, and Beastwalkers (of different types). While most people are wearing simple artisans’ or farmers’ outfits, there are also those who are better dressed merchants.

They climb a small hill and approach a beautiful round building of polished stone decorated with gardens of vibrant blue flowers: from multiple gates, paths lead up to the mausoleum weaving through gardens and past statues of a graceful young woman in flowing robes and carrying an open tome. Around the building and gardens is built the Queen’s Plaza. Opposite the mausoleum and looking over it is a very large church to Siaska – this building has a large glass dome in its roof with gold and silver reinforcing beams, allowing worshippers to look up to the stars. Tracker points to the mausoleum and tells them that it is the resting place of Queen Kalie and the reason for the founding and name of the town. He steps into the council building, speaks to a man called Dylan and asks to see the Field Warden: he is sent in to see Milika with the party.

Most of the rooms appear to be taken up with people counting tax money, writing in ledgers and journals, others are talking about city affairs. Tracker takes them to see Milika, a woman with silver eyes and hair, she wears a very elegant Harvest Guard uniform with muted colours (she looks much more military in her bearing and presentation) and hanging on the wall behind her is an enormous spear. Tracker tells Milika about the ferric wyvern, the death of the hunters that were sent with them and about the assistance from the members of the party in taking the ferric wyvern down.

Milika closes the door and casts a *zone of truth* before asking each in turn to tell her what happened: only Nova and Aila are capable of lying, but none of them choose to. She thanks them for their assistance with the ferric wyvern but tells them that there is no reward because there was no bounty placed on it, so wants to know why they have come to see her. Quill says that they seem to meet the Field Warden everywhere they go, so thought it might be a good idea for them to introduce themselves this time. She introduces herself as Milika Dawnblessed, Field Warden of Kalie’s Rest – she also tells them that the foremost authority in town is actually the mayor who reports to the King in Goldthrone.

Quill offers to assist if there are any issues that need their talents: she tells them that she does not have any work for them – there was an issue with some missing girls that they have already assigned people to, but the priestess of the temple of Kellara might want some help with something. Quill says that they were pulled into that investigation, and that Estelle is being returned to her mother by Sanna, Lucius advises Milika that Galen has died – she notes all of this in her ledger, saying that she will make further enquiries and asks them not to leave Kalie’s Rest without her blessing.

Milika suggests that they take some rest, watch a Furbolg perform at the temple to Sayanna (the Lyre’s Smile), or perhaps catch a Spellclash match. Lucius asks if he might be able to get news about his family engaging in trade in the town, and she directs him to the Wayspire where the Messenger Guild operate. Lucius also asks about airships, but Milika tells him that the last sky city to pass was Gusthaven and that was a few weeks ago.
