Active Goals

Full status board with clocks and side jobs: Quest Log.

  1. Stop the death curse — now directly afflicting the party: 1 max HP lost every 4 days. Siegfried was killed before questioning; remaining clue paths are the medusa, eagleman, or a future way to question the corpse.
  2. Cure Dr. Aubrey’s wife’s vampirism. The dragon heart is obtained; tears of an angel and milk of a faerie remain. “Light a candle to the milk and that will show him the way.”
  3. Clear the party’s names for the killing of Throbbin Mistwillow. Arrow shaft bore an algiz rune — “of the Symposium.” Vesper Ralk (his lover) is now a witness; wanted posters cover Baldur’s Gate; butler Mr. Stephens wore a matching algiz-rune necklace.
  4. Pay back Balm Bitdoom. New bargain, now in writing: retrieve the Kilburg Card Deck from Ras Nsi’s pocket within 3 months. In return the party can keep Balm Bitdoom’s gifted items, except for one item. If the party fails, Balm Bitdoom says he will kill one of them. He also invoked the Symposium before disappearing.
  5. Tell Flea what happened to Mosquito. Mosquito is dead — eaten by an undead owlbear inside the Temple of Cayochan. A letter to Flea was recovered from its stomach. Flea does not know yet.
  6. Resolve the split southern routes. The player party diverted into Wyrmheart Mine for the dragon. Jacques LaFleur and Summer Mooneyham continued separately toward Shadowfang Keep and the captured “Grackles.”

Resolved Goals

  • 🏆 Win Midsommer Night’s Song. Isilrod won the 284th Night Song and collected Old Tin Top’s song rewards in session 12.
  • 🐉 Defeat the Wyrmheart dragon. Siegfried was killed in session 14, and Bonzo harvested the dragon heart.
  • Find Mosquito. Confirmed dead in the Temple of Cayochan.
  • Find Syndra Sylvane. She is with the party on the boat.
  • Reach Old Tin Top’s for Midsommer Night’s Song. Reached during session 10.

Open Threads & Clocks

Live dangling threads and time-pressure clocks. Refreshed each session from the Session Log.

  • ⏳ Balm Bitdoom debt (3-month clock): retrieve the Kilburg Card Deck from Ras Nsi or he kills one of the party.
  • ⏳ Watto’s raid (~1-month clock): Oliver Watto plans to hit Jabari Muktow’s villa.
  • 🔴 Death curse on the party: idol’s red eyes revealed the whole party is afflicted; current clock is 1 max HP lost every 4 days.
  • 🗺️ Shadowfang Keep: Jacques LaFleur and Summer Mooneyham are traveling there separately to rescue a captured companion, likely “Grackles.”
  • 🌫️ Escaped possessor: Vesper Ralk was killed, but the entity possessing her escaped as black fog after controlling multiple people and creatures at once. LaFleur knows where it went.
  • ⚡ Recovered from Raif: Bodius threw the living-lightning jug into Siegfried. Whether it survived remains unresolved; Raif reclaimed his trident earlier.
  • 🚪 Old Tin Top fireplace portal reaches Baldur’s Gate and apparently the Port Xibalba bathhouse flue run by Tubbs.
  • 🚇 Wyrmheart depths: Siegfried is dead, but the quipper pool, disputed bottom-chest state, and horizontal railway exit remain unresolved.
  • 🩸 Mina Aubrey’s vampire curse: the dragon heart is obtained; Dr. Aubrey still needs tears of an angel and milk of a faerie.
  • 🧠 Lost dragon clue: Siegfried died before answering where the death curse lies. The medusa/eagleman clues and possible corpse-questioning remain.
  • 🎶 Isolde the Moth — pale half-elf with a bone flute; reacted to “Symposium” and may have been at Old Tin Top’s for months or only an hour.
  • 🦋 Old Chultan cemetery — butterfly symbol and a Sigred grave marker; possibly pre-fall Ras Nsi era.
  • ✉️ Flea doesn’t know Mosquito is dead — the party still owes him the truth.
