§ Interactions
001 #DeathCellar #Harpers The party was approached by Syndra Silvane - a masked woman who was also affected by the death curse. With the promise of gold and the possibility to learn more about the curse that struck down Amber, the party took part in a scheme by the Harpers to steal the phylactery of Zaldara, the Duchess of Rot, in a bid to extract information from the lich.
001 #battle #death #DeathCellar Deftly dispatching the lich's minions and traps, the party made their way through the Death Cellar. They picked up the Zaldara's discarded familiar, Elonast, who had been imprisoned for decades by the lich. Elonast guided them to the location of Zaldara's phylactery: a trapped chamber guarded by a specter. In a desperate bid to destroy the foul being, Marcus Rhodesseus lost his life. Despite the party's losses, they were victorious in stealing Zaldara's phylactery: her spellbook.
001 #DeathCellar After leaving the cellar, the Harper Gerard teleported the party to the entrance of the tower, where battle between the Harpers and the Zaldara's undead forces continued to rage. The conflict ceased as the lich was drawn out by the revelation that the party had control of her phylactery. The party then negotiated with the lich: her phylactery back in exchange for information about the death curse.
001 #DeathCellar #DeathCurse Zaldara accepted the party's terms and told them and the Harpers what she knew: that the Death Curse is from a fantastically powerful soul-harvesting artifact called the Soulmonger. She did not know who had activated it, but that its focus of power seemed to be emanating from the jungle peninsula of Chult. After the information was divulged, the party reneged on its deal with Zaldara and the lich was struck down three magic missiles.
