Game Setup
Last Time on When Black Roses Bloom: The heroes crashed for the evening and night to memorize spells. They woke and resurrected Ser’s, then continued to search the keep until eventually returning to the throne room. They decided to enter the mirrors and try confronting Lord Soth. The first mirror was a reimagining of the rescue of the elven maids en route to Palanthas from ogres. The heroes ended up confronting the ogres and rescuing the maidens, enraging Lord Soth and kicking him out of the mirror. Talendril entered the second mirror which was a mock trial for Caradoc. He was blamed for killing Soth’s wife when Soth actually did it himself. Talendril convinced Caradoc to stand up and refute the sentence, and they both fought and died, ruining the memory. Soth was again outraged and ejected from a mirror. The third mirror was an imagined scene with Soth confronting the Kingpriest. The heroes killed the Idealised version of Soth, ejecting him from the mirror. The fourth mirror did not go to plan as Lord Soth killed Tanis Half-Elven and claimed the Crown of Power, ejecting the heroes from the mirror. The fifth mirror seems to be a tournament which is where we pick up with today’s session.
About When Black Roses Bloom
The nightbound realm of Sithicus is dying!
The grey forested crags scarred by jagged rifts echo with the laments of the dying elven nation. But the lord of the land sits uncaring on his blackened throne in the charred castle of Negragaard, lost in ancient memories. Through his passion and hatred the nightmare haunted death knight, Lord Soth, permitted catastrophe to befall his native world of Krynn. Now trapped in the Realm of Terror, Soth has once more brough calamity to his home. Abandoning rule of his twisted realm of Sithicus, Lord Soth has retreated to a still more distorted domain: the mad fantasies of his own history.
To save the land and themselves, the heroes must venture into banshee-haunted Nedragaard Keep, and there into the warped mindscapes of a tormented darklord. The history of the greatest villain of the DragonLance Saga is at last revealed in the Realm of Terror.
For fans of DRAGONLANCE and RAVENLOFT adventures alike. This grand adventure is suited for four to six player characters of levels 4-6. No prior knowledge of Krynn or the DRAGONLANCE Saga is necessary. You must have the RAVENLOFT boxed campaign set to use this adventure.
