Why did the adventurers decide to explore the sewers beneath Ogerton?
The adventurers chose to explore the sewers to uncover hidden truths and potentially find a path to freedom from the perplexing dungeon-like city of Ogerton, which they felt was a prison despite its comforts.
What did the adventurers discover about the ogres of Ogerton?
The adventurers found that the ogres of Ogerton are a paradox; they are intelligent enough to harness natural benefits and wield great magics, yet they are blind to the vanities and hypocrisies of their culture and hold small-minded beliefs about the world and others.
What immediate perils are the adventurers facing in Ogerton?
The adventurers are confronted with the immediate perils of navigating a strange culture, the zealous nature of the ogre inhabitants, and the burdensome weight of their quests bound by the gods to prevent a prophesied catastrophe in Drakkar.
How did the adventurers manage to avoid immediate condemnation in Ogerton?
The adventurers avoided immediate condemnation by sharing the lie that they are all ogre gods made mortal, returned to the material plane despite their strange behavior and appearance.
What challenges did the adventurers face in the sewers of Ogerton?
The adventurers faced challenges such as pitch-black darkness, complex networks of tunnels, and the discovery of an invisible bridge over a 500-foot drop to water, as well as encountering ghostly apparitions of ogres.
What did Yorneir discover during his ethereal journey behind the waterfall?
Yorneir discovered a massive cavernous cave with a reflective, alien structure on a platform and was attacked by ghostly apparitions of ogres, which inflicted necrotic damage on his spirit form.
Why did the adventurers decide to return to the surface after discovering the invisible bridge and the cavern?
The adventurers decided to return to the surface because Yorneir was severely injured during his ethereal journey and they needed to rest and recover before attempting to cross the bridge and explore further.
What was the significance of the reflective material Yorneir saw in the cavern?
The reflective material was significant because it was an unnatural, alien structure that seemed to be part of a larger, mysterious presence in the cavern, potentially connected to the ogre spirits and the enigmatic nature of Ogerton.
How did Mylon manage to remove his pendant, and what was the cost?
Mylon managed to remove his pendant by trading his life and servitude as a vassal to the governor of the House of Commerce in exchange for the freedom of his two daughters. The cost was his own captivity and the loss of his other daughter, Clove, who died in the wilderness.
What final discovery did the adventurers make upon returning to the surface?
Upon returning to the surface, the adventurers discovered that the newborn baby they had been watching over had aged to two years old overnight, with a pendant around its neck, indicating the strange and rapid passage of time in Ogerton due to ogre magic.
- Governor Manius Ogurus Blaginius discovers five new vassals beyond Ogerton.
