DtBP: Firebrand’s Redoubt – Turn Results 53

The party agreed to investigate the upper level and returned to the staircase outside of the Great Hall. At the top of the stairs the party encountered resistance.

Stout dwarven pillars support this open stairway. A balcony overlooks the floor below. Three doors stand to the north, east, and south. The dead body of a dwarf in a Davarn town guard uniform lies on the floor here. Three duergar stand ready to resist you.

Recap - Adventure So Far

After your adventures in Saringallow, you traveled to the town of Davarn for their Spring Festival. You soon found yourselves with a patron, Lukher Stinnison, and were enrolled in the Spring Muddle. Your team went up against last year’s champions, the Davarn Chokers.

You participated in the “capture the flag”-like contest on Spinebreaker Mountain. Your team won the contest and the prize; 2500 GP, an adamantine battleaxe and a pearl of power.

After the contest, the town was attacked by undead. You managed to rescue Lukher from the clutches of several skeletal champions wearing the remnants of uniforms with the insignia a local hero, Lady Delbera. The flaming axe head is the symbol of the Firebrand Legion, a group of local heroes in Davarn with Lady Delbara was a member.

After the battle it becomes clear that dozens of townsfolk are missing and all were related to  Lady Delbera Axebringer. You agree to mount a rescue and head down the Taggun’s Crawl to seek out the former fortress of the Firebrand Legion, Firebrand’s Redoubt.

Upon arriving at the fortress, you found that the place had been overrun by duergar. Finding a secret postern gate, you managed to surprise the inhabitants as you stormed their position.You have since been exploring the Redoubt and discovered that besides the dark dwarves, the place is also haunted.

You have encountered five haunts. Each one that you defeated, provided a verse to a song or poem. You do not know how may verses there are.

You have collected four so far:

“We who court the ways of honor.” - Grand Hall

“By sweat and blood, we have come here.” - Chapel

“And wed ourselves to duty.” - Theater

“And in the blaze of both, find eternal strength.” - Foyer

You did not get one from the haunt in the Trophy Room. You experienced the haunt byt you do not think you have defeated it.

You also found a door in the great hall which you have not yet been able to open. The runs on the door read, “Those who stand against injustice, those sired by the will to defend, announce yourselves and enter.”
