Last week ended with us completing the Dungeon of the Dead three. Out of resources, the party dodged the dragon cultists waiting for them at the exit.
This next session I expect them to head to the Low Lantern. It’s a barge bar. A ship bar. A bar you only go to armed and ready. They will be following a lead to find Amrit Vanthampur. I’ve put some time into fleshing out the NPCs in the bar a bit more. As usual I do a bit of AI prompting token art over the generic tokens the game uses. I have worked on a few silly voices. And I have tied out characters a bit more into the story of the world.
For example; the sailor NPC is waylaid at Baldur’s Gate until the reroute from their intended destination (Elturel). These small interludes will give the players more ways to engage into the story.
Very likely the confrontation with Amric will become a fist fight in the bar (exciting). On their way out they’ll meet Raea Mantlemorn. She is an NPC who can possibly stay with the party for the rest of the campaign. I will be running her through Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything’s Sidekick rules. The Cult of the Dragon was escaped last week, they will show up as the party leaves the bar and force a resolution to the group taking their goods from the Dungeon of the Dead Three.
