Rats in the Wall
Let it be heard! The Lord Drysdale of Restormel doth offer a thousand gold coin for the defeat of the foul Wererat brigands who lair in the southern towers of the King's Wall, and the killing or capturing of their leader!
Session 1 11/8/21 (Level 3, 480 XP, 3060 XP total): The ruins of Khezed Manor were cleared of skeleton horde animated by the dark fane of Tsathoggua the Devourer (180 XP). And that was just the first encounter - the heroes went on to defeat the evil Necromancer Nerius & his zombie minions in his lair at Wolfskull Cave (200 XP), then after resting overnight at Dwarf Cut they assaulted the ancient wererat-ruled towers of the King's Wall, defeating powerful forces of bestial and human guardians (300 XP). And the elf Rogue had time to flirt with Helga Breakrock, leader of the local dwarf miners at Dwarf Cut, and get some free silver arrows for the wererats lurking in the towers...
Deceased NPCs, session 1
Day 1 - Khezed Manor & Wolfskull Cave
1. Nerius, a young Necromancer from Silverymoon lairing at Wolfskull Cave, he had stolen his old master's magic wand (+2 wand) and activated the undead-animating statue of Tsathoggua at Khezed Manor. The statue itself would need at least Paragon Tier weapons/magic to destroy.
 |
Ruins of Khezed Manor, the dark statue of Tsathoggua now deactivated once more.

Day 2 - the North Tower
1. Kalmo Darano, wererat commander of the north tower Gravehounds.
2. Borlem Darano, wererat commander of the north tower Spitting Drakes, Zhent mercenaries, & Shadowhunter Bat.
Session 2 16/8/21 (Level 3, 333 XP, 3393 XP total): Find prisoners Ravka-Shi and Monty the Bard in the North Tower guard room. Ravk-Shi feeds the Zhent soldier Vot Rendir to some starving gray wolves beneath the tower after he is incapacitated by wererat ambushers. Defeat more wererats, the Goblin Hexer Jib, and the Rat King Ephram Darano, a powerful sorcerer, along with his brood of minions. Deeper in the dungeon Ux presents the Rat King's head to four Iron Defender hounds, trying to gain psychic control of them - and fails miserably, fleeing in terror.
Deceased NPCs, session 2
1. Vot Rendir, veteran Zhentarim human mercenary, fed to hungry gray wolves by Ravka-Shi. Vot Rendir (Soldier 3), a captured Zhentarim soldier, last survivor of his band, he surrendered after the wererat Borlem's death, & agreed to join the party. He says the Wererats are led by a powerful wererat sorcerer, aided by a goblin wizard/shaman.
2. Jib, goblin Hexer, 'rightful chief' of the Red Fang goblins, and brother of the usurper Jib-Jib.
3. Ephram Darano, wererat Sorcerer & Rat King of the Towers.
Session 3 18/8/21 (Level 3>4, 507 XP, 3900 XP total): Meet Bark, a hairy vampire hunter. Defeat four Iron Defenders and persuade little Malcolm Darano and the other Wererats of the South Tower to flee and not return. Back to Restormel with the head of Ephram Darano, Ux having arrived ahead of them. Party formally thanked and rewarded 1000gp by Lord Drysdale. Next day travel east on Drysdale's loaned horses. On the road they defeat a terrible Troll (who almost kills Ardun) and his four Goblin allies, then lunch at the Midway Inn, and reach Silverymoon's Moonstair District at nightfall. At the Temple of the Moon, the three temple priestesses Lin Dhoram, Sharess & Sylvana ritually cure Ardun of the Wererat Filth Fever. Night at Cloudwatch Inn, Rinn & Ravka-Shi share a room. Visit the wizard Ezekiel Dhoram at his tower, return his wand in return for 200gp and ritual training for Qetesh. Rinn hits on Ezekiel's redhead maidservant Marissa.
After shopping, crafting, resting and training, the reinvigorated party return to Restormel, thence on once more to the Towers, now in search of the Vampire...

The Catacombs
Session 4 25/8/21 (Level 4, 645 XP, 4,545 XP total): Feed and free the hungry wolves in north tower cellar. Party follows a 600' tunnel east from the dungeon of the King's Wall, into catacombs laced by water channels that drain water from the Evermoors. Battle boneshard skeletons and a shadow bat in the Commoners' Crypt, go west to the Nobles' Crypt and deal with a water pit trap & swarms of rats. South, and Ravka-Shi chases a Deathlock Wight sorcerer over the rooftops of the Arcane Crypts to his doom while her companions battle his skeleton and zombie minions; Qetesh obtains five ritual books from those crypts (suffering only one embarrassing explosion). Backtrack east and trash a mob of decrepit skeletons, and their Spectre leader. Exploring south then west and south, approach a nexus chamber, again defended by the Dead.
