The Chardalyn Pile

Objective:
Learn about the Chardalyn in the The Dinev's Rest

Encounter:

• Zaas Found a note written by Nildar Sunblight about when the Chardalyn would be delivered to the outpost at the latest the next fortnight. Mentions in passing the drunken speaker Trovus. Secrecy isn't as much of a concern when dealing with the drunkard.
• We think the outpost is likely near Caer-Konig.
• Slippy offers to go run recon on the keep by himself
• Zaas follows somewhat closely behind
• Slippy uses disguise self as a guard and unsummons Mr Feely
• Slippy sees people on the ramparts of the keep
• Slippy makes his way along the right side of the keep wall
• See a kennel boy with the dogs along the back of the keep
• See a guardsman in the tower who is also asleep via Mr Feely
• The guardsman has a black pendant around his neck of a sword
• Intimidate the kennel boy into leaving me alone
• See an old dwarf sitting asleep in a rocking chair
• 3rd window over see a bed chamber, see another person with a black sword pendant standing at the door guarding what looks like an older human man, doesn't look in the best of health, frail
• Kennel boy name is Allisar Soulmander
  • Came here a few months ago, and decided to let him stay here and keep the dogs
• We have about 15 pounds of Chardalyn
• King "What are our goals with the Cult Zaas?"
  • Zaas maybe we can have these people become informants for us and we can take over
• Zaas dressed as a local guard intimidates Roark
• Roark hints at the fact that the current speaker has effectively been deposed by the Cult and the city is currently being run by the cult
• On the way out Roark says 'Levistus be with you'
  • The amulets vibrate in response
• Zaas thinks that Levistus could be listening through the amulets and warns the group by writing on a piece of paper
• We approach the front of the keep and convince the guards to let us in by showing the Chardalyn
  • The guards don't see happy to see it and call it terrible
• Underneath the tower at the keep is a red fish
• We meet a gentleman that looks like a dandy
• Zaas lies to him about their purpose
• Zaas tells him she was here for the fire and that she ended up leaving with her life and met other like minded people
• Gentleman shows her his frostburns
  • He found himself in the middle of the tundra and he was lost and had run out of food and didn't have any dry wood to make water
  • He was definitely about to die and that's when he heard a voice, if he only dedicated his life to Levistus and forwarding his need in Tentowns then he'd continue to live and serve a purpose
  • When he awoke the next morning he found the amulet around his neck, every follower of Levistus has the same amulet
• Cult and Levistus doesn't like the Duergar
• Caer Dineval is the headquarters for the cult
• "Did you wipe out all of the Duergar in the town?"
  • All but one
  • He was excited about the fact that we were able to mark a blow against the Duergar
• The gentleman doesn't know what the Duergar want with the Chardalyn, he thinks that they want to use it to hold dominion over Caer Dineval
• The gentleman mentions that we should partake in the keeps hospitality
• The gentleman's name is Cadroth the Fiery
