CritSheetPre-Session Brief

Before Session 52

Dungeons of Drakkenheim

Previously on Dungeons of Drakkenheim

Back in a suddenly bustling Emberwood Village, Hjalgran turned merchant, unloading magical caramels, breath mints, and the Cloak of Arachnida for a fortune while dodging questions about Ryan Graymare's excommunication. Eldrick repaired the Inscrutable Staff and handed formal custody to Soline, but the session's real fireworks came when Hjalgran and Soline cornered Ben over his loyalty to the Queen of Thieves ahead of a possible move against her for the Spymaster Seal. Ben took his 5 gold and walked, leaving the question of his allegiance hanging unresolved as the party adjourned.

The Story So Far

The party has been assembling the seals needed to unlock the Crown of Westommar, which requires all seals present to grant its wishes. They now hold multiple seals but lack the Spymaster Seal, currently held by the Queen of Thieves, an organization Ben has undisclosed ties to. The Amethyst Academy's tower and its planar Nexus have been stabilized, restoring teleportation to Emberwood Village and reopening the world to the party. Political tensions simmer beneath the surface, both among the five factions vying for Drakkenheim's secrets and within the party itself over Ben's true loyalties.

Open Threads

  • Ben has not yet revealed where his loyalty lies regarding the Queen of Thieves and the party's plan to move against her.
  • The party has not yet told Eldrick the full number of seals they hold or their plans for the Spymaster Seal.
  • Soline holds only temporary custody of the Inscrutable Staff and intends to return it to the Academy once the crown quest concludes.
  • Aldor the Immense is searching for an item granting Hjalgran an extra attunement slot.
  • Hjalgran teased Aldor with an unspecified future lucrative business deal.
  • Ryan Graymare has been missing for 16 years despite never being fully stripped of her nine rings.
