Bend the Knee

Initial Brief

According to travellers recently arrived in Acryn the humble village of Parrin's Field appears to have been wiped out by an avalanche. If the reports are to be believed this is particularly unlucky for the inhabitants since the village is situated on the top of an open plateau with not a mountain in sight.

The City Council has put out a request for experienced adventurers to look into the disaster and deal justice to any responsible parties. The reward is 27R for information with a substantial bonus possible for dealing with the problem more permanently.

PCs

Debrief

With the Spire collapsing around them the remaining members of the party take a few moments to stuff their pockets with the treasures decorating the throne room and then sprint for safety. As they flee down the tower they manage to catch up with a number of their crimson-hued allies and together they flee the settlement as the great tower of ice comes crashing down onto the streets. After explaining as well as they can what has transpired the party accepts the assistance of the dejected Skirans in getting off the Everchill and returning to Acryn. They have a long sail home, but at least most of it occurs at positive temperatures. Evan and Sev take the opportunity to prevail on Paige to educate them in her rare magical expertise.

Once they're home they give a full report of the situation to the Council, who are pleased that the mission has been technically completed and absolutely horrified about everything else. They pay the party, agree to cover reasonable expenses and resolve to hunt for Xavi and the monstrous artifact he carries.
