Your party has seen plenty of fatalities, but murder is more novel. To your horror, the victim is the cleric Forwin and, even worse, it appears he was killed before your excursion into the sewers. This is particularly troubling because when you left to scour yourself clean of sewer foulness, you thought you’d left him deep in discussion with the scholar. Clearly, whoever that really was, it can’t have been Forwin. When you arrived at the scholar’s home to check, you found signs of a struggle but no sign of the scholar, nor the imposter. Fortunately, the scholar must have realised something was amiss and left directions to a location on a hidden note. With a rising sense of dread you realised that the destination was a ruin on the cursed fringes of the Forbidden Lands. If Forwin was right, the Soul Siphon is the only way to end the Blight, and you now have a ruthless adversary intent on finding it before you. What they plan to do with it is a mystery, but it’s unlikely to bode well for people in the region.
This quest is the finale of a mini-campaign that starts with The King’s Brides. If you can thwart the evil schemes of a malagaunt, and also acquire the Splintered Siphon during the quest, you will have the option to create the Soul Siphon relic.
