Newhall

Overview

A small village in The Dawn Empire. The Party encountered this village on their way to the Uvam Dynasty. When the party first got to the village the guards were so tired from not being able to sleep that they just let The Party in. There had been a series of disappearances but when The Party asked about them the towns folk had no idea that people had gone missing. After asking many people it was becoming night time so The Party went to the inn to sleep. Through multiple dreams with different people, The Party dreamed of a faceless figure trying to talk to them and then flying into the sky.

Eventually, The Party went out to the outside guard to ask them about what was happening. As they crossed the threshold of the town Chenris Tallfellow ‡ and Kal The Korrigan † instantly forgot all that had happened in the town. This led them to write down all their experiences (they were fearful of another Ethertwist Haunter situation). The guards told them to check on Captain Brookes and Deputy Bridges who had both gone missing in the town. They had forgotten everything about being guards when they went back into the town. Eventually, Captain Brook was convinced to leave the town and remember everything.

Korri had used magic to figure out that they were dealing with a Celestial. This led to Chenris using Thaumaturgy to say "Hello" in the celestial. This leads to them being attacked by an unknown entity. They eventually found this entity living under the village well. This entity was the Herald called the Angel Under The Well. After nearly beating the Herald The Party evacuated the town, citing poison in the well.

History & Mentions

§ Interactions
Session 39 A while later, as they approached Oceanvale, Korrigan suddenly remembered a quest request they had there. Upon rereading the quest details, the situation sounded very similar to the 'Angel Under The Well' they had encountered in Newhall. If that were the case, it would be wise to rest outside the city to avoid being enchanted by the Herald in their sleep.
Session 18 Mordecai is incredibly happy that he seems to have gotten a one up on Chenris and starts really hammering it in to chenris. eventually he stops and they come up with a plan together to test what is really going on. Chenris states the situation they are in feels incurably similar to what they faced in Newhall. The plan they come up with is that both of them will enter the building again and Mordecai will cast Message on chenris to see what happens. If Mordecai doesn't contact Them with message within one minute then he will leave.
