[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8501350, member: 6879661"] So The Three Faces of Evil went very well. Not quite as expected but I was really happy with. Lots of improvisation meant that things didn’t quite go as expect. Yet nevertheless all three cults were dispatched and the Avatar of the Overgod banished. How it concluded. - The party found the Faceless One’s lair with an unlikely natural 20 search of the secret door. Therefore they defeated him early on. He melted to ice, suggesting that he was a simulacrum, defaced so as not to be identifiable. The Faceless one implicated Theldrick but only circumstantually. They already hated Theldrick because he was an ass to the Pc Cleric in the same temple, so this prejudiced them even more. - The party we’re summoned to a council meeting where Theldrick accused the party of arson and murder in burning down the observatory. The PCs had a good case and had the support of Allustan (building that relationship) and the temple of Kelemvor. It was agreed to withhold judgement until after the events were fully investigated. - That evening Smenk did a deal with PCs after convincing them that he could be trusted so far as he would act in his own best interests… which included making Daggerford as prosperous as possible. In exchange for material evidence implicating Thurrick the PCs would support his bid for Mayor with the council. The wording of that support was carefully agreed (a bit like a negotiated reference). - The Grimlocks ambushed the party in the dark as they returned home after meeting Smenk. It became clear that the grimlocks also killed the mayor… based on their tracks and seeing in the dark. - With Smenks evidence Thurick was unmasked as a traitor and retreated to his lair beneath the temple of Helm, the PCs defeated him after a really challenging fight. - Balabar Smenk was elected Lord Mayor. - The party entered the grim lock tunnels through the brazier and soon realized that Grallak Kur being the last prophet of the Overgod wanted to die. Their encounter with him then ended up trying to keep him alive. They managed to fend of grimlocks and get him back through the portal. In the temple Grallak Kur kept trying to bash his head on the stone floor so the Pc priest tried to knock him unconscious. However rolled a natural crit so killed him instead this awakening the overgod anyway… it was very memorable. Now on to Encounter at Blackwall Keep. The Party are third level and have a fair bit of treasure at this point. The last session ended with the party contracted as special agents of Captain Tolivar Trask to find out what has happened to the Garrison on the edge of the Lizard Marshes. Allustan will accompany them as one of his apprentices Marwenna is stationed there. This is also near where the rumours of worm riddled zombies came from. [/QUOTE]
