Session Recap

The heroes regrouped at the Moonlit Haven Inn after their harrowing escape from the Goblin Warren. Thorek Ironbeard nursed his wounded pride along with his battle scars, while Zara Nightwhisper studied the cryptic map they'd recovered. The innkeeper's whispered warnings about Lord Blackthorne's newfound paranoia and doubled guard patrols set the stage for their most audacious heist yet.

Key Events

• The scent of roasted pheasant and nervous sweat filled Lord Blackthorne's dining hall as Thorek leveraged his noble bloodline to secure an invitation, his dwarven accent carefully masked behind practiced courtly manners
• Zara's fingers traced invisible patterns in the air as her Invisibility spell took hold, revealing the mansion's magical wards pulsing like veins of silver light through the walls
• Ancient hinges groaned as Finn Lightfinger discovered the secret passage behind the library's false bookshelf, dust motes dancing in the moonlight streaming through hidden windows
• Steel sang against steel as guards burst through the vault doors, catching Finn red-handed. Elara Brightstorm's desperate Fireball spell illuminated the chamber in hellish orange, reducing Lady Blackthorne's ancestral portrait to smoldering canvas and gilt frame
• The Crown of Seasons hummed with otherworldly power as they fled through fog-shrouded gardens, its whispers of approaching winter chilling their souls more than the midnight air

Critical Decisions & Unresolved Threads

• The party chose the chaos of the dinner party over the patience of waiting for the new moon, trusting in their ability to blend among the nobility rather than rely on darkness alone
• When cornered guards begged for mercy, Thorek's honor code prevailed over pragmatism, sparing lives that could later identify them
• Despite the Crown of Seasons' obvious magical power and immense gold value, the party honored their oath to High Priestess Seraphina, choosing divine favor over earthly wealth
