Re: Chapter 1.2--Discussions during the Long Rest in Monadhan
Epic post alert--this is long.
Harald comes back seeking the seer but finds her unconscious. He ends up forging a rapport with a couple of the other locals who enjoy watching the mighty dwarf getting plastered. They start telling him about themselves, which is a bit of a scary experience. Each of them has done something horrid to earn being here: serial lying to spouses and friends, murder, theft, adultery and so on.
He also finds out that, towards the southern end of the shantytown is a cave entrance that is at once the center of the village and the place most avoided. This matches the location that Kas gave you for Arantor's lair--your destination.
Agon, meanwhile, gets attuned to the plane. He discovers some interesting things about the plane through his meditations.
Arantor's research into Kas and Arantor reveals no additional information about Arantor, who is shrouded in mystery. Kas's nature is also known to him, though his weaknesses and capabilities remain shrouded in mystery for the moment.
Gromley spent time researching a trinket of his, and then hit the jackpot: he found a female halfling who tearfully confessed her hideous, unprintable crime to Gromley's sympathetic ear and fell into his arms. Mind you, she nearly got away with his wallet and possessions afterwards--it is fortunate Gromley has been around the block a couple of times or she would have left him half-naked and without needed items.
Nemeroff, for his part, learns very little from the locals, who clearly don't trust him. He finds out considerably more about the seer.
Zog flits about and learns quite a bit interesting about the Kas' capabilities. Arantor, unfortunately, remains a mystery. He also hears warnings of Arantor's lairs--that people literally get lost within, can be heard crying out. Nobody knows exactly why....
