[Adventure] Rhapsody Part 2 (Judge: renau1g)

[KarinsDad]

OOC: Ok, what are people doing?

 

[Luinnar]

Bears in tow, Christina looks at the statues and other fallen debris, trying to figure out what they were used for. Perhaps it was an anchient civilization turned to stone? she thinks, poking around.

OOC: Passive Perception=21

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: Nyar is ready to go, I thought we were waiting on the leveling up process for Cairn, Narvala and Baern

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Cairn is leveled up and was as I said, few hours after my post.

Cairn simply goes to Fallen, he counts on smarter folks to lead correctly. He's on the point just so that thugs and other low-lives think twice before attacking. And also that he can be spotted and the villains reveal themselves.

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: Looking back, it looks like everyone is leveled up.

Nyar looks past the rubble to the building structures. The note said warehouse. "I suggest a quick survey of the area, together, looking for any unusual activity, particularly for any guards, ruffians or kenku."

Who would know what is unusual in this dump of the city? Baern quips before looking around keenly.

Looking at the area, the team sees that Fallen is indeed, fallen. Something major happened here. The buildings looked like they were destroyed and put back together again.

OOC: History, Religion, and Perception checks for those PCs trained.

 

[drothgery]

Something about the area had crossed Narvala's studies before. Nothing Flamist, though, she was sure.

OOC: history check; religion check (1d20+11=31, 1d20+13=15)

 

[FourMonos]

Nyar tries to recall some of Sarn's history from his long lessons at Arcanix

[sblock=history 20, religion 14] 1d20+13 → [7,13] = (20), 1d20+13 → [1,13] = (14) Roll Lookup [/sblock]

Narvala recalls that this section of Sharn used to be called Godsgate and was the primary location for the worship of the Sovereign Host. But with the expansion of the towers into the higher city, many of the temples were relocated higher into the towers, and many of the city's inhabitants stopped worshiping in Godsgate. Some of the temples were reused for other purposes and the entire area became rundown. However, the worst part of destruction came during the last war when a team of abjurer saboteurs destroyed the enchantments supporting the Glass Tower, one of the city’s oldest floating citadels. Although most of the Glass Tower fell into the Dagger River, some of its spires fell into Godsgate, devastating many of the buildings.

Although the people here are proud and have partially rebuilt over the decades, they are extremely poor and the local businesses are hurting. People here just barely survive and it's not a section of town where other most Sharn citizens would ever visit. In addition, there are sections of Fallen where the people killed by the falling Glass Tower still haunt the locations of their deaths. So there are dangers here beyond the normal local populace. It's a perfect place to hide a criminal operation since the town guard would never come here.
