[QUOTE="Ricochet, post: 6737612, member: 2024"] [b]Whisperer?[/b] [b]Originally posted by Afetbinttuzani:[/b] Hello. This is a DM question that contains spoilers. Players: you have been warned. I have just begun to DM for Adventurer's League, so I haven't run any of the other adventures in this series. On page 14 of "The Scroll Thief", the players find a note on one of their ambushers that reads: [LIST][*]"Just get it done, Soares. If they find me, then the last four months have been a total waste. Ensure that the Whisperer's faith in us was not ill-placed. B" [/LIST] Who is the Whisperer and what is their role in all of this? Given that Berenger, the writer of the note, works for the cult of the Dragon, I would assume the Whisperer is a higher up in that organization. But I can find no reference beyond a female gnome named Seranolla the Whisperer who is part of the Emerald Enclave (DDEX13 p. 10, DDEX112 p. 8). I'm confused. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Afet. [b]Originally posted by TheBreen:[/b] "Whisperer" in this case refers to someone who is in possession of one of the Dragon Masks (items introduced in [i]Horde of the Dragon Queen[/i]). Those people, who are high-ranking members of the Cult of the Dragon, are referred to as "Dragon Whisperers." For example, the holder of the Green Dragon Mask would be called the Green Dragon Whisperer (an NPC named Neronvain at that time, incidentally). In the note, Ellison Berenger is reminding Soares that their superiors have entrusted them with an important task, and urging Soares to hurry with his part in it. [b]Originally posted by Afetbinttuzani:[/b] Thank you. That helps. The PCs, however, have naturally assumed that it refers to Seranolla the Whisperer, and are prepared to seek her out and confront her [IMG]http://community.wizards.com/sites/all/modules/custom/forest_site/smileys/wizards/slant.gif[/IMG] I suppose I could retcon the note and say it reads "the Whisperers' faith" as apposed to the "the Whisperer's faith". [b]Originally posted by Zarton:[/b] Well you could retconn when if the party reports the messages to one of the key people who might know, and elaborate on it. [b]Originally posted by Afetbinttuzani:[/b] I looked this up, and Hoard of the Dragon Queen refers to possesors of the masks as Wyrmspeakers. I can't find Dragon Whisperer anywhere, but it's not a stretch to think they refer to the same thing.
