Scribe Notes
Night 0 : preplanning
THE BIG PLAN OF THE FORCES OF EVIL [FoE] is to sacrifice Kree to resurrect Strahd von Zarovich in a midwinter/Dark Skies Ritual on the 30th anniversary of his slaughter by Kree & Anasatsia
FoE include:
- Supreme Commander (Lady Dokkalfer, see Elvish Isles box), a Sitri pactee appointed by the War Party (in TerraNova), and ally of Ruby Scourge.
- Her MILITARY SUBODINATES: including Morequendi (in CP of Borovia box)
- Her current minion DARK SKIES a Drow person/Thing of Power
- Her minion Ld AZZUR (see Calder box)
- The INFECTED PRINCE --- giant wolfman / giant magma creature / giant elf creature (he can flux between those states)
- and (currently) the Giants he controlls
FOUR(?) demons involved: Vassago, Phenix, Sitri, Forneus, [and … ?]
CONSEQUENCES:
- A vindictive, resurrected Arch-Vampire is dangerous for us & our friends/relatives/employers on this side of the Continent.
- The Drow Military controlling much of Alusia not good either.
- Also, Karisi (from Asan) an ex of Cain's wants to use Darkskies after the ritual so that she can kill Cain … which might be bad
UNITED KEY AIMS & TASKS:
- To Weaken the Drow
- To free Lord Azzur from external evil influences/control of Karisi (Lady Of Dark Dreams, Lady Darksong)
- A pre-emptive Ashan Azuria regalia acquisition/raid to avoid misuse of items for FoE ritual
- To persuade Drow to retreat (Can the diverted portal, formerly to KinLu, be liberated or safely disabled after such a retreat?)
POSSIBLE TACTICS:
- Some Janx are supposedly fetching the important regalia — disrupt!
- The Caleenline walkers are obliged to return home if the Callen ruins are threatened [Prudence mission?]
- Rumours of ITEM/person who can change the location of a portal (only a few hundred miles).; remember Portals are currently controlled/perverted by the snake priests who are controlled by Kirisi
- Cultivate/Liberate potential allies … namely:
POTENTIAL ALLIES & possible critical/pressure points of the Enemy's structure
- Karisi's associate, Noor-un-nisa Inayat Khan, is a Princess of Azuria
- The giants currently under the Infected Prince's Control (Fire & Ice Gts)
N/A: M&R are in Hells, training.
ANCILIARY THREATS
- Sasha has identified Sangarius [Vampire & Zombie Lord] & 19 minions is lurking in Sewers beneath Sanctuary
- FAKE PEOPLE: There is also a Kree at the Guild … some partymembers were almost clowned …sorry cloned. KatG may be only a Klone.
SASHA's group
- going to Azuria … to investigate, but esp. to “relocate†the formerly Ashan Sceptre of Terminus.
ARYAN'S group:
- Infiltrate Morgor's Lair, this time doing it the easy way [NB: inside the front door of Morgor's Lair (on the right?) there's an Antechamber that has the amulets for the service-staff] in order to:
- Use the Kraken Heartstone to break control over…?? [drop it into ___ pool?? in Mgr's lair, aka the Dark Terror]
- Then raid the armoury … see shopping list:
- HORNS --- can use on the Ruby Scurge if you have troubadour rank & horn ranked
QUESTIONS
- from Sabrina — How many Krees are there?
- Who has the item to dismantle the Infected Prince??
SHOPPING LIST
- IMPORTANT provisions: including Jasper amulets
- request something useful from the Armory.
