The following list detail unusual things in and around Newcourt / Newcastle, unusual things or behaviours exhibited by key people and notes of information whaich may be pertinent to our investigation.

In Newcourt

People

Gerald Snr
His experiences in previous 'in between' state from last mission gave us Karrick / Carroc as a name. Get him to remember further as he holds the books as previously mentioned. Use Mind Mage?

Locations

Undead Lair
What are they there for? Who creates them? Are the tunnels still in use? Do they connect to the white tower? Do they connect to the mines?
Located under the chapel. Still questions to be answered.
The Black Stair
Find out more and perhaps arrange for it to be excavated and access to the tunnels beneath? :Adiitional information still to be gained, possibly in Alfheim, possible through digging them out.
The Amber mines
What points of access into the tower might there be down there? What Causes the Amber? Why Here?
Partially explored and potentially dangerous. Needs further exploration.
The seals on the White Tower
These are linked to the Elven court in Elfhiem? To whom/what? Can we arrange to have the seals removed to gain access?
No investigations completed as yet.
Water Sources
The Great Tower has a magical cistern at the top and with an unusual object at its centre. Investigate. Additionally the cistern under the great tower has a fortified cistern with another similar object in it some 50-60 ft down.
Probably unimportant. Investigate in we run out of other avenues.
Gargoyles
Divinate/Ancient Div the gargoyles to (probably) get Dark Bindings Counterspell and possibly deactivate when we break White Tower seals. Suggest done before we poke around Undead too much!
Divination completed.

External Sources

The Mad Baron
Gervais is possibly currently interred in MMHS at the Sanatorium there. Meet and interrogate him to find out more. Use talking, perhaps get old portraits / pictures of his old companions and get the illusions put on us if that may help (after talking with him first) to talk with him and jog his memory.
Currently under investigation. Partially hampered by prescence of Illusionist.
The White Lodge / Noble order of the Veiled Way
Who else might have knowledge of these organisations / Colleges? Perhaps seek an audience or speak with Lord Yo / Jade Dragon through the good offices of Axis?
Elfheim
Visit here and we can deal with a number of the issues we are coming to realise the importance of and perhaps find some answers

Questions and things possibly resolved for the moment

The Baron
Why has he been put off actually having the wedding? What is influencing him to do so?
ANSWER: The Baron is being driven to complete the Castle and its environs by a very old influence (older than 2000yrs). The influence isn't a control, curse, or geas etc but fuels his natural desire for completion and his love of building. Also appears to be related to building a wall to keep something out.
There doesn't appear to be any further information divinable from this source at the moment.
Axis
Good source of knowledge and ability to contact Dragons and their knowledge base
Completed - Information in scribe notes.
The Inquisitors
Broc has met them. Can he use them as a source of Knowledge?
Completed - Information in scribe notes.
