IG Notes for the Anniversary Event

This post builds off of information previously released about the plot. The short version is that all PCs are members of an expedition under the leadership of Sir Terrance Putnam, tasked with discovering the fate of, and hopefully rescuing, a Kormyrian colony that was established on the remote island of Ebronesis.
  • The journey from Kormyre to Ebronesis has taken just over two months. The expedition is comprised of a diverse group of adventurers sailing aboard two caravels – the Redeemer and the Andorran Rose. The flagship (Sir Terrance’s vessel) is the Redeemer.
  • Upon arriving at Ebronesis, you were able to observe two of the three ships that were sent to establish the original colony approximately two years. The first ship that was spotted was the Wayfarer, which rests at anchor in deep water, but is terribly dilapidated and obviously not sea-worthy. The second ship that was spotted was the Honor of Fenrick, which is wrecked on a low jetty a few miles west along the coast from the position of the Wayfarer. The third ship, the Hunter’s Moon, has not been seen. Landing skiffs for what appears to be all three ships are ashore, all in varied states of decrepitude, but not apparently damaged in any intentional way.
  • Sir Terrance decided earlier today (today being the Friday of the event) to put ashore with a small party where the landing craft were spotted and reconnoiter. For the sake of simplicity, no PCs went along.
  • The landing party determined that a small village was built fairly closely inland, with a number of cottages, an inn, a church, and a smithy. The village appears to be abandoned, but they didn’t investigate any of the buildings very closely. Sir Terrance was trying to gather some important strategic information as his first priority.
  • There is a nexus located within the church, and there was a focus there at one time, but that focus has been shattered. The expedition was outfitted with one, and therefore a crucial task will be connecting it to the nexus and attuning healers and priests to it.
  • The island was relatively quiet while they were there. Nothing apart from ordinary birds and wildlife were observed.
  • The village appears to have a series of mythals which overlap to create a boundary around a region that encompasses most of the cottages and the main buildings. Sir Terrance’s sorcerer observed that someone – presumably the colony’s sorcerer – had marked the mythal boundary, as well as the center-points of the individual mythals. These markers are still visible. The sorcerer was unable to make sense of what the mythals protect against, but the name he divined is “Calumnarii”. He has no idea what it means. Finally, the sorcerer was able to determine that the mythals were placed there a very long time ago, much further back in time than the establishment of the colony. So although the colony sorcerer appears to have been the one to mark them, it does not appear that he created them.
  • Sir Terrance has decided to go ashore with the whole expedition tonight, under the assumption that if there is any dangerous presence on the island, the cover of night will give the expedition the best chance to establish a foothold before coming under threat.
