Into
the
Nightmare Rift
By Richard Pett
Bring Me A Better Head!
Madam Seeshaw Raccas runs the Shucked Oyster, one of Magnimar's more infamous
brothels. She's long competed with one of the city's other well-known brothels, the
House of Welcome, over who can boast of the most outlandish decorations. The
House of Welcome recently added a wyvern's head to the barroom. When
Seeshaw contacts the PCs, she scoffs, "Anyone can kill a wyvern—I want
something better for the Oyster!"
Reward:
Any non-undead corporeal monster that's CR 14
or higher works as a trophy. Do not count
increases to a monster's CR from
class levels for the purposes of this
requirement. Upon delivering the
trophy to Seeshaw, the PCs earn XP
equal to the monster's XP award
(provided the trophy is already preserved—Seeshaw has no interest
DOCKWAY
in rotten trophies), along with a
rod of splendor—or,
if the party
prefers, free services from the Oyster for life!
A Strange SOurce of Power
Magnimar's most esteemed school of wizardry is the Stone of the Seers, an academy that
focuses primarily on abjuration and divination magic. The Stone of the Seers is small, for its
master Leis Nivlandis maintains that the larger a school grows, the
less its students learn—a thinly veiled jab at Korvosa's
Acadamae. Unfortunately for Master Nivlandis, the small
size of his school also means he has little free time to
do field research, a sacrifice he feels is, in the end,
a necessary one for the good of his students'
educations. So when he learns that Magnimar's
newest heroes are planning an expedition to
Guiltspur, a site he's always wanted to visit, he
quickly makes contact. His research suggests that powerful
abjurations ward parts of Guiltspur, and he would like to know more
about how these wards function—particularly, what source of energy powers the protection.
Reward:
For determining that the wards are powered by an abysium reactor and reporting that to
Master Nivlandis, the PCs earn 51,200 XP and a
wand of stoneskin
(12 charges) as Nivlandis's thanks.
