Season 1

The Dames set out to save the trapped Banik brothers in Phandalin's Tresendar Manor. After making their way through several traps, the trail of found Banik brothers leads them to a large cavern where a group of kobolds, who set the traps, currently reside. They work for Olf Undercroft, a half-orc who claims the manor is his. After finding the remaining Banik brothers throughout the kobold's home, Olf appears. The Dames convince him and Sildar Hallwinter to agree to make the Tresendar Manor an historical landmark.

During a much-deserved downtime, the Dames feast with the Banik brothers and are able to take a few moments to make progress on their own quests. Rose Lao apologizes to the kobolds, Nevar Moor has an encounter with the Raven Queen, and Riot Bonezerker continues her search for her missing siblings. After visiting Qelline and Carp Alderleaf of Alderleaf Farm, Riot decides to get a helmthorn to plant in her *pot of awakening*.

Before the Dames can take too much time to themselves, however, Sildar requests they help him find his daughter, Winter Hallwinter, who has gone off with some friends into the Crooked Forest and have yet to return. The children are found being shoved into cages by a group of gnolls and a flesh gnawer. The Dames save the children and run into Tinus Redbud on their way back to Phandalin, who gives Riot some information on sourcing wood for a new bow.

On the Dames's second downtime, they visit a bustling Sleeping Giant and run into Delsy there. Riot returns to the Crooked Forest to source wood for a new bow, Rose purchases new sewing supplies, and Nevar partakes in the town's ale supply. Winter seems to be emulating Nevar as she purchases black fabric for a new outfit, follows her around town, and then shows up in all black, carrying a journal filled with dark poetry. The Raven Queen also visits Nevar for a second time, leaving her *The Book of Shadows*.

Not much time passes before Sildar sends the Dames on another missing persons case. They must travel to the Neverwinter Wood to rescue Delsy and possibly two missing children. On their way, they encounter both a dreamstone and a nightmare stone. They rescue the two children and explore deeper into Neverwinter Wood, finding Delsy captured in a cottage by two other hags, Auntie Bock and Granny Wroog. They discover Delsy is looking to destroy Phandalin, so they help Autnie Bock and Granny Wroog subdue her instead. After, they bring the two missing children to the safety of Sildar.

## Summary

### Tresendar Manor

After returning to Phandalin with the rescued Lord Eric Merryweather, The Dames are quickly put back to work in search of the missing Banik brothers who seem to be trapped in the Tresendar Manor, an estate they were restoring. Joined by Sildar Hallwinter, the Dames enter the manor and are met with suspicious traps placed by Sniv's Traps and Tunnels, quippers hungry for a feast, and beady-eyed rats hiding in the shadows.

As they make their way through the many obstacles, the Dames start to discover the Banik brothers one by one. They find Davver Banik in the Tresendar crypt and he leads them to a secret storage room where Bilnan is hiding. This storage room is beside a giant cavern that seems to be housing some sort of large lizard-like creature. Before long, the Dames find themselves in combat with this giant lizard and a group of kobolds who are hiding behind murder holes in the cavern wall.

After a short bout of combat, the Dames and kobolds communicate briefly and come to a realization that this is just a big misunderstanding. The kobolds work for Sniv of Sniv's Traps & Tunnels and Sniv was hired by Olf Undercroft who gave the kobolds tunneling rights under the manor. Sildar negotiates a new contract where the kobolds work for him and allows them to continue tunneling. Sniv directs another kobold, Meepo, to help the Dames find the remainder of the missing Banik brothers: Jonwont, Travver, and Rickroll.

Shortly after finding Rickroll, Olf Undercroft shows up in the cavern demanding to know why there are trespassers. He informs them that he inherited the manor after his ancestors won the battle in Phandalin generations ago. Riot Bonezerker convinces Olf and Sildar to agree in making the Tresendar Manor an historical landmark, which would let Olf still live in the manor and would allow the town to continue restoring it.

### First Downtime in Phandalin

The Dames level up and discuss their new features and spells. They start off being invited to a feast by Davver Banik and the rest of the Banik brothers. Davver has made them several different types of bread for them to take on their adventures. After feasting, the Dames sit down with Sildar Hallwinter and they all open up a bit about who they are and what they seek. Everyone turns in at Davver's place and the Dames set out in different directions in the morning.

Rose Lao picks up some supplies and heads to Tresendar Manor to apologize to the kobolds. They accept her apology and she wins in a game of Dragon Hoard against Meepo. Riot Bonezerker starts off in the Sleeping Giant in an attempt to gain information on her siblings. Unfortunately no one but the tavernkeeper, Grista, is in the tavern and she isn't familiar with Riot's siblings. Nevar Moor soon joins Riot after stopping at Lionshield Coster to exchange some gear. After a drink, they both head out.

Nevar returns to the Stonehill Inn to attune her gift from Lord Eric Merryweather. She ends up falling asleep and receives a vision from the Raven Queen. She receives a feather through this dream with an instinctive feeling that it is meant to be given to someone else.

Riot heads to the Alderleaf farm per the tavernkeeper's suggestion to seek out Carp Alderleaf, who may have more information on Riot's siblings. While Riot doesn't gain any leads on her siblings, she does discover a young boy with a fascination for monsters. The Alderleafs also assist her in identifying the best shrub for her *pot of awakening*.

When the Dames all reunite, they are approached by a somber Sildar Hallwinter. He states that his daughter, Winter Hallwinter has gone off into the Crooked Forest with some friends and has not yet returned. He asks if they Dames would be kind enough to help him look for her, to which they agree.

### Back Into the Forest

The Dames meet up with Lyta Rollings back in Halfway while on their way to the Crooked Forest, in search of Winter Hallwinter and her friends. They once again head into the forest through the trapdoor behind the Come Butte Inn. After following the path the forest presents, they come across a group of gnolls high up in the trees on platforms. They are putting Winter and her friends into cages.

With some strong shoves and tactical maneuvers, the Dames are able to subdue the gnolls and release the children from the bone cages. As they all go to leave, the Crooked Forest path has changed once again and leads them to a clearing where their friend Tinus Redbud is. He gives Riot Bonezerker some information about where she can find some wood for a new bow and how to harvest it. Meanwhile, the children are quite shaken up by what had just happened so Nevar Moor sits with Winter and makes bracelets out of grass and leaves and Rose Lao leads the other children in guided breathing and meditation until everyone's emotions are calmed.

They all return to Phandalin and Sildar Hallwinter is there to greet them.

### Second Downtime in Phandalin

On their second downtime in Phandalin, the Dames visit the Sleeping Giant, which is booming with patrons. Davver Banik thanks them for encouraging him to make more breads; he is now selling them to go with Grista's drinks. Riot Bonezerker has a run-in with an elf named Delsy who seems particularly interested in Master Volo's memorabilia. Sildar Hallwinter also shows up and thanks the Dames for saving Winter Hallwinter and her friends from the gnolls in the Crooked Forest.

Riot goes off into the Crooked Forest to source a blueleaf branch for a new bow. She returns to Alderleaf Farm and converses with Carp Alderleaf about gnolls.

Rose Lao starts her downtime in Barthen's Provisions to pick up some material; she runs into Winter Hallwinter there and she commissions Rose to make her a new outfit. Rose also heads over to the Alderleaf Farm to gain insight on some plant dyes from Qelline.

Nevar Moor spends most of her downtime with a mug of ale in hand. At the end of the week, she runs into Sildar Hallwinter who is worried about his daughter. Winter shows up in all black and an appearance very similar to Nevar's. Nevar closes out the week by returning to the Stonehill Inn where the Raven Queen has left her *The Book of Shadows*.

### The Filthy Claws of Sin

Sildar Hallwinter sends the Dames off on another missing persons case. This time, it's the woman Riot Bonezerker met at the Sleeping Giant, Delsy. He notes that two other children may be missing in the dangerous Neverwinter Wood as well. On their journey, they come across a clear crystal gemstone with a riddle that slices them with razor-winged butterflies when they get it wrong. Not too much further up the path, they're enshrouded in darkness by a second gemstone that eventually releases the two lost children when the Dames speak their names and defeat some beasts. They successfully calm the children and find a safer place for them to stay while they check out a cottage one of the children mentions.

Inside the cottage are three hags: Delsy, Granny Wroog, and Auntie Bock. Granny Wroog and Auntie Bock have Delsy captured but she escapes when the Dames enter the cottage. The hags enlist the Dames's help to recapture her, but they find the task is not what it first appears as Delsy has turned it into a magical labyrinth of illusion. The Dames fight through several conjured blights and finally corner Delsy after Auntie Bock shows Rose Lao what her black stone can do.

In exchange for their help, Auntie Bock and Granny Wroog offer the Dames some vile stew, a *potion of poison resistance*, and some information. They invite the Dames back anytime they are looking to make a deal and then the Dames shuffle off to return Milack and Ephenia to safety. Where else is safer than under Sildar Hallwinter's care?
