Session 5: The Amber Court
Afternoon, 18th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party talked with the Windscene Tavern keeper,
Ian
, for a while.
He explained the layout of the town.
He also explained that things were tense ever since someone from Ambermoor Keep was kidnapped by
the Silent
.
The party then left for Ambermoor keep to try and find Laef.
Lady
Zara Adir
, the Count of Ambermoor’s eldest daughter, walked into town as they entered the keep.
The party met with
Dame Ira
, the Master-at-arms at Ambermoor, and convinced her to let them speak with Laef.
They met
Laef
in the stockades, under Ambermoor Keep.
She confessed to Rev that she was a walker, on a mission to save the world.
She was investigating the Silent, when she was found by guards and mistaken for a member.
The guards that arrested her claimed that she was alone.
Laef insists there was a whole bandit camp where she was picked up.
Dame Ira, not understanding Rev and Laef’s conversation about ‘being a walker’ no longer trusted the party.
She escorted them out of the stockades.
Ekhart decided to sit in on the court, to see what the Count was like.
Rev and Sang followed.
Count Adir
and his middle daughter were hearing issues the townspeople were having.
Count Adir appears to be giving level-headed justice to the people.
Lady Amelia
seemed to be watching and learning from her father.
As they were watching court,
Lady Gwendalyn
, Count Adir’s youngest daughter, joined the party to talk.
She mentioned that she was a Silent sympathizer.
She also mentioned that a boy from the Church had been kidnapped from the Keep.
Ekhart, thinking the church boy that was kidnapped was his brother, joined the queue to ask Count Adir a question.
Count Adir confirmed
Cidmuir
was the person who was kidnapped.
He also said that he would give Laef a fair trial.
He explained that the investigation had been going poorly because there are Silent sympathizers among the city guard.
The party left to explore Cidmuir’s room.
Nothing seemed out of place.
There were no signs of forced entry.
Ekhart also found more research about opening a portal to the Faerealm.
Opening a portal apparently takes a lot of physical room to perform.
The party left the keep to find guards responsible for arresting Laef.
