Session 15 - Summary

Recap

Picking up after the Wachterhaus dinner (~8 p.m., 6th of Neyavr), the party crossed Vallaki to St. Andral's Church but missed Dr. Rudolph van Richten; Milivoj shared concerns about Bryce's fear, Lucian's disappearance, and the Festival of the Blazing Sun colliding with the Feast of Saint Andral on the 9th. After a long rest at Party Hideout—Urwin Martikov's builders finally dropped straw bedding—the party met Ernst at Blue Water Inn, received Izek's daily schedule and a poisoned Red Dragon Crush bottle, delivered wolfsbane to Bryce (potion ready tomorrow morning), and executed a chef-intercept wine swap. That evening at Lake Zarovich, poisoned and ambushed Izek was killed by Saturno; his fire death explosion downed Sildir. The party looted his silver battleaxe, a symbol parchment matching Nightingale's tower notes, and an Ireena Kolyana-lookalike doll; Sildir took Izek's oversized arm as proof for Lady Fiona Wachter, whose coup moves tomorrow (Session 15 @ 00:15:30–04:35:11).
