Lawcon Wraps


So another Lawcon has ended and the players got through quite a bit.  I guess 12 hour sessions, 5 or 6 days over two weeks can get a lot accomplished.  Whew!!  Anyway, in a nutshell, the party rescued Miranda and destroyed the Zhent slave camp.  From there they went to Sembia to find Eladamri’s Tower.  They cleared out the tower, dealt with that weasel, Thaimor, and found Eladamri’s journal.  Finally, Barrow’s Edge was under assault from reptile men and the party went to deal with that threat.  They crushed the burgeoning Temple of Set and secured Barrow’s Edge’s security in the area (although no one has seen the small black dragon that escaped from them last year. 
            I will try to give more details on these events as I have time to recall and type them up.   I will also try to give the hooks the players have left to follow up on.  The group managed to wrap everything rather nicely with them wintering in Barrow’s Edge and beginning the next session with them fresh off a good long bit of down time.  I will have to figure out how they spend this time and what their expenses are going to be.

The starting town...

Barrow’s Edge

Places:
Goodseller’s Emporium –
Owner, Marjory Goodseller
Partner, Garrett
Shop has any PHB items that are less than 100 gp.

Halls of the Broken Ones
Temple of Ilmater
Sister Listra (C1) aided the party as best she could. She received quite a bit of tithe money from the paladin, Amareth, so there may be some improvements made to the temple soon.

Inn –
Owner, Mallie
Barrow’s Edge has no mayor, so the default leader of the hamlet is Mallie.
Mallie is good friends with Arval and Fergus.

Mysticallity –
Owner, Thamior (M5)
Thamior is a mage from Arwen. He opened this small hedge shop here but has no loyalty to the town. He and Silnare apprenticed to the same archmage in Arwen, but Thamior left some 3 years ago under dubious circumstances. (The archmage tired of Thamior’s dour personality and biting attitude and dismissed him from his apprenticship.)
Thamior’s shop has a mark up of about 35% but he lowers that for elves, especially cute elven lasses. Thamior can train mages up to level 3. His prices vary, elves usually pay 25% less. (Wis: 14)


Notable personalities
Arval – Moneylender
A dwarf that settled here over 2 decades ago. Aside from his great wealth, no one knows much about him.
Fergus – Scout (R6)
Fergus is Lita’s father. He trained her as a ranger as well and is protective of her. He was well known in Archenbridge some 40 years ago, working as a scout for the Archendale army. Fergus is a grizzled ranger that has lived near Barrow’s Edge for over 15 years. He can train aspiring rangers up to level 4. (Wis: 16)
Liam –
Poor child “saved” by the party when two creatures stalked the hamlets alley. The party was not quick enough to save Liam’s father. Orphaned, the party left the child rather quickly as they had other problems to deal with. Liam was left in the Halls of the Broken Ones but his final home is unknown.
Percival – Farmer
Pig farmer that lives somewhat east of Barrow’s Edge. The party saved this farmer from orcs that came from the Caves of Shadow. In return, Percival pointed the party back to Barrow’s Edge, they were quite lost before they saved him.
