Rhagal - Encounter 1
- Daniel Bove
This occurs on the night after your return from the Feywild. The party has just returned to The Reluctant Pig in the Farthing Yards of Highbridge after killing the Orcish rearguard that stayed behind to ensure the escape of the raid that kidnapped Pinna.
Rhagal lays on a bunk in the back of Pinna's shop recovering from the gastro-intestinal distress that he has endured for the last day. He has taken a series of tonics that Pinna has proscribed, each more foul tasting than the last. He mind is blurry as if he is hallucinating.
He turns, and lying on the bunk beside him, curled up against his side, is the form of Alluria the Huntress. She whispers quietly in his ear:
Hello, my love.
Here, like this, I can talk to you more easily.
Your band of adventurers sits at the nexus of a great many plots and schemes. My father sees the value of them all, but cannot see the future. He cannot see which lead to salvation and which lead to ruin. My job is to accompany you and try to make certain that your band follows the right path.
Suddenly, a vision appears in your head.
You must be certain to light the beacon. Help will come. If you do not, you will likely perish in the flames.
I will always help you, my dearest. Here, I do what I might.
You are aware that you bow has been endowed with additional abilities: Bow of Alluria.
