beneath the hall

Quickly searching over the area, and particularly the mage, they find a couple magical numenera. They then begin to search the building. The first three doors seem to be small rooms for possible guards. Battling a few undesirables, they come away with a couple more magical numenera and money. They also discover the symbol of the Convergence among the old clothing. The next room they find is a noble’s bedchamber. Here they discover two moving pictures. 

Fix stepped through the first and found that it led to the past, encountering Lord and Lady Bhaka. After a brief interaction with the original owners of the keep, he returned to the rest of the group. The other picture showed Castle Aventur amidst a storm. Consulting the book, Evangeline discovered only two severe storms were recorded, the first having done some major damage, the second was left mysteriously blank. Looking into the history, the castle belongs to the Baruvis family and discovered Lady Gaera is the last known descendant. 

Within the bedchamber, Forsythe found a tiara. Through some investigation, they reveal it to give the ability of truesight to the wearer. When Fix returned, he let them know that it once belonged to Lady Bhaka.

Forsythe then found a passage to the lower level where they discovered a large room beneath the main hall. Here they met Roderick Sternhelm, a priest, and his students. Jenik Reprut had been invisible until he noticed they could see him anyway. The group asked him several questions and gained some information. They found he did serve Gruumsh and wished to have a spear returned to him from Jhorn. He was willing to negotiate his involvement with the others for the return of the spear. Forsythe, now having the tiara, sees Jenik’s true form, an orc wearing the familiar robes of Garon the Wild from his home town of White Lake.
