The secret of Lebenhauer

## A fated visit in Daeventria

The secret of Lebenhauer was a series of trials that 5 adventurers from Hallon had to overcome.

5 adventurers met Edelhard Vandenillis in a Daeventrian tavern on a rainy night.

Edelhard received reports that suspicious activities are happening in Derber woods and required investigation by a capable group of people.

Edelhard recruited the following 5 adventurers for this task:

Unknown aka "Wolf Smit", the free-spirited hunter accompanied by his trusty partner "Boi"

Byron "Vaultron" Vault, self-proclaimed mastermind

Tork, the enlightened Minotaur

"Meeseeks" of Kaedwen, visitor from a foreign world

Hugo Schmidt, the exotic Eradrin Rogue

Edelhard explicitly stated to return any evidence of suspicious activity or inform him regardless of the result, when the adventurers return he will be waiting with a few of his men in the tavern.

## A venture in Derber woods

The adventurers followed the suspicious figures into Derber woods and found a large cave. They entered here and first encountered 3 giant cave spiders which they vanquished with little effort.

After vanquishing the foes Vaultron managed to find a gleaming object in a deeper chasm of the cave. The object they found was a foreign looking marble disc with primordial symbols carved on the sides.

A half-digested body found by Wolf was supposedly the original owner of this disc and by the looks threw it in the chasm.

## Robed figures with filthy intentions

After taking this disc they went outside of the cave and followed the human footsteps deeper in the woods. They found a group of 6 robed figures who happened to be looking for a disc-shaped object with symbols on it.

The group suspected these figures to be responsible for the recent problems stated by Edelhard and thought of a "plan" of sorts.

Vaultron saw a stone building in the corner of the forest and made a disc-shaped stone glow in a similar sense to the disc they found earlier.

Meanwhile "Meeseeks" and Hugo decided to ambush the robed figures to try and capture one of these for further questioning.

Tork and Wolf decided to do the same from the other side of the forest path, lying in wait to strike as soon as the plan goes sideways.

After preparing his decoy Vaultron called out to a robed figure to press him on their business in Derber woods.

These robed figures were not very tactful when answering questions and were even about to spill some beans to Vaultron.

That is until Hugo decided to shoot a robed figure in the chest, this instigated a fast turn of events where Cultists were stealthily taken out with little more than a verbal struggle.

The robed figures were revealed to be cultists of Nakarkos, the party took some of their belongings and reported back to Edelhard who was waiting for them in Daeventria.

## Investigating Lebenhauer church

The adventurers reported back to Edelhard and after investigating the arrow that emanated from the disc it was decided that it was pointing towards the Daeventrian church of Lebenhauer.

There were a pair of Nakarkos' cultists discussing their plans in the church together with a guard dog, the adventurers made short work of them and investigated the church.

The disc appeared to be responding to a statue of Daeven Yselfinn, hero and founder of Daeventria.

Before triggering any events the party decided to first report to Edelhard so they could enlist his help in this mysterious matter.

Edelhard joined them from the tavern and followed the party to Lebenhauer church.

The same disc triggered a hidden staircase under Daeven's statue, waiting underneath was a 250-year golem named Therazane.

Vaultron decided to use Edelhard as bait which caused him to suffer a bruised toe in the process.

The golem was defeated and that which it was guarding was revealed to be the grave of Daeven. In this crypt an orb was found, a keen insight by Tork revealed that this was an orb with magical properties.

The party took their spoils from the crypt and discussed with Edelhard what the best course of action was.

## Epilogue

The party fully informed Edelhard of their actions and with that earned Edelhard's trust. The mystery surrounding disappearing scouts in Derber woods and their motive was laid bare and consequently foiled with help of the party.

Hugo Schmidt and "Meeseeks" of Kaedwen decided to part ways with Wolf, Vaultron and Tork and went on their way to Allemark.

The others decided to travel together with the orb at Edelhard's behest towards Swoln, the Releivosian capital.
