Chapter 2 - The Long Halloween

This time of year represents the annual Autumn Festival in Fallcrest, a month-long celebration of the harvest. As the party passes the guard at King’s Gate, they make their way into Hightown and to Nimozaran’s isolated tower overlooking the lower quays.

Following a short encounter with Nimozaran’s rude Halfling apprentice – Tobolar, the party speaks to Nimozaran’s stony visage in the walls of the tower, recounting for him the puzzling events of the night before. Nimozaran suggests, despite the contents of the letter, that he did not provide any magical aid to the Worshippers of Pelor, and that their report of magical goings-on should be investigated.

He also suggests that Aryanne (who is imprinting on Davlyn – the party’s only female) should be accompanied back to the Abbey where she may locate other family and begin to recover from her recent trauma. Given the fresh Drow attack along the King’s road, a party of capable adventurers would be appropriate escort.

In exchange for their investigative services, Nimozaran offers the party use of his alchemical skills and entices them further with stories of the Order of Knights and the once famous wealth that may yet be found deep within the Abbey ruins. The party accepts and heads into Lowtown to make preparations for their journey.
