LFG: [11H/12H] Rescue the Smith
Time: 2021-04-02 @ 2300 GMT (7PM EST)
GM: Pub
Difficulty: 12H
Rumor Source: William Carver(Montaugh)

Rumor: DEED: Peili.. must kill what killed the first owner of this blood pebble armor. Peili's armor was found during the events of Finding a Cure It was found within the chests deeps within some caverns. The events of juniper hollow has long since past, but now is the time to return and find out what killed the original wearing of the armor. I do not know where this will take us, but it has been some time since the plague ruined the town and now perhaps some answers can be had.

Finding a Cure

Location: It's a mystery! But we are certain to go to a kaer.

Alt Reward: None predetermined

Note: 3-5 Players

Summary:
The Party has discovered a slavery based fighting ring. The location changes between tournaments, and the slave owners are Questors of Dis. The slave owners are powerful enough to enslave Horrors. The person who killed the original owner of Peili was a contestant and was killed.

While not discovered by the party, the Horror Constructs that inhabited Wolf Ridge were sent by the Slave Master known as Black Gold, who was killed by the tournament organizer for attempting to assassinate the party with Horrors. Horrors could also be combatants in the tournament, although the party did not witness any of the tournament to discover this.

My name is William Carver. I am a Circle 11 Scout, Circle 9 Thief, Circle 7 Cavalryman, and 5 rank on the path of the Journeyman.

I had a deed to complete for the Armor Peili. The deed required me to kill what killed the last wearer of the armor. This turned out to be a dwarven adept of some sort, and we had a few clues. We decided to head towards where the armor was found, Wolf Ridge. It has been years since we were last here and nothing was done with the location. It was in even more decay. We entered the well and searched the caverns, we were able to come upon a ledger of some sort. It had two sigils one which belonged to a minor noble, the other we were unaware of its meaning or purpose. Upon exiting the well we were given a letter from some strange man outside. The letter was an invitation to a location in the thunder mountain.

At first I was thinking of just ignoring the letter, but we decided to go and see what was going on at the location provided. It turned out to be a tournament of some sort. The contests were only identified by color, so I chose to be Blue/White, and we were allowed to enter. There were other colors there but largely it was of no importance. While talking with some people we were approached by a man that said he was the rightful owner of the armor, I disputed his claim, he wanted me to fight to keep what was already mine, so I declined. One of his fighters in the tournament was the man that killed the last owner of Peili. This troubled me and I was thinking of walking away with the deed not completed, killing monster, horror or creature is one thing, killing someone in cold blood just to empower my armor was not a line I was willing to cross.

The location that we were in was an old settlement, they survived the scourge in a similar fashion to the Wrymwood, just without all the spikes. They found another way to survive.

That night we were attacked by a horror and his constructs. One of the people attacking us was the man that killed the last owner of Peili, I do not know his name. He is dead now, I have no qualms with killing someone that sides with horrors.

This was a weird adventure and journal. The tournament is held at random times, and in random places, with no one knowing who is going to be engaging in combat as everything is color based. I would be on the look out for more rumors regarding this group and its involvement with horrors.

William Carver.
