Tonight we kick off this weeks adventure with the party investigating a group of thieves who are focusing on stealing shards. Those who wish to steal the dark shards can only have bad intentions. So the party will have their hands cut out this week!
So come with me as we stroll into the temple and onward into tonight’s adventure!
The problem with having something irreplaceable and something indescribably evil is that it always attracts the wrong kind of attention. The Temple of Helm in Kestel houses one of the Dark Shards, a slither of a cursed blade that was once used to slay the founding king of Kestel and beyond.
While visiting the head cleric of helm the party stops an attempt at stealing the shard. The high cleric asks the party to investigate the incident while they check in with the other temples that hold the other shards of the cursed blade.

The party can’t help but admire the spires of the Temple that reached into the sky. The temple of Helm had hired the party to retrieve some medical goods that had been taken by bandits on their way to the city. As they moved through the door with the bags of goods the clerics out the front let them pass with a broad smile on their face.
‘We knew the high cleric had good eyes when hiring you to go after those bandits. He is just inside and will be glad to see that you have returned.’ the woman said as they approached. After passing the large doors the party saw Tyson, the high cleric smiled and finished chatting to a noblewoman who thanked the cleric before leaving past the party.
‘I see that you have returned with the supplies and that you are in good form.’ he said smiling at the party. As he started to enquire about the bandits and how the job went the party notice two suspicious looking people sneaking into a room that the party knew to be Tyson’s quarters.
As they enter the room they catch three people, a third dressed in a dark cloak. The people stared at the party who stared back as the thieves were in the middle of pulling out drawers. A sudden burst of movement saw a cloud of smoke erupt from where the foes were and the party felt the thieves rush into them. A quick fight broke out where the party managed to apprehend two our of the three intruders.
Tyson took the thieves away for questioning but he suspected he knew what they were after. ‘This temple to Helm is one of a few sister temples that all hold a Dark Shard, a fragment of a cursed blade that slew the first king of this Land and Kestel. I don’t know what they would be wanting with that item but it’s the only thing I can think of them being after to attack us in such a manner.’ he paused and thought for a moment.
‘I will also check with the sister temples to see if they have had any trouble. If I could be so bold to quickly ask you to perform another job for the temple.’ he paused to watch the men taken into custody with the city guards that had come to grab the thieves. ‘Can you work with the guard to investigate what they want. I believe that there was three of them but we apprehended two, maybe locating the third thief would illuminate what they are after?’
Thanks for visiting tonight, don’t forget that this is just the start of the week and we have another four nights of content at my tabletop. So don’t forget to come back each day this week and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
