Session 7 – The Vemora

As we are continuing on our way to Daemyr, we are informed by a messenger that Josephus wishes us to go to Dunnerton and not Daemyr. The messenger, an Elf named Ennar, will accompany us to the city.

As we near the city, two giant trolls cross our path — they seem to be chasing one another. As one of them nears our traveling party, he trips and falls onto our Berserker, killing him instantly. We mourn him briefly, take his belongings, and move on.

Dunnerton is apparently a very small farming community, and has only a few men to defend its city. Kharl Atwater, an elderly gentleman with the town’s militia, explains that his people need our help.

Kevasha, an unexplained sickness, has taken the sight of some of the men in the town, and they cannot be healed by any known means. Their only hope lies in the power of the Vemora, an artifact of healing that resides in the nearby Keep of Thorenberg. A party has already been sent to retrieve the Vemora, but it was unsuccessful. Kharl asks us to pick up where the men of Dunnerton left off several weeks ago.

We are also interested in the rumor that the king of Thorenberg was extremely wealthy, and whose throne had a seat made of precious gems. Kharl also informs us that long ago, enchanters bewitched a fountain in the castle that would restore youth. The rest of the waters in the keep, however, have been poisoned from plague, and should not be drunk.

The next morning, we meet Kharl at his home before leaving for Thorenberg Keep. He introduces us to two individuals: Jacca Brone, a priest of Shakmar, Goddess of Healing; and Rawls, a guide. They are to accompany us on our journey. Kharl also informs Eilenos that King Higmar was a follower of Berethenu, so a piece of Antinius’ armor resides in the castle.

After preparing, we journey with the healer and guide to the Keep.
