Session A03 – Tresendar Manor

Summary

The party infiltrated Tresendar Manor via the secret tunnel near the Alderleaf farm (located by the boy Carp). The tunnel was very tight — Jonah, Roland, and Kelvin had difficulty. Kavu had no problems.

Sarcophagi and the Tressendar Legacy

In the basement the party found ancient sarcophagi:

• Elaine Tressendar — Lord of Phandalin, Pact protector
• Elaria Tressendar — wife of Elaine
• Aldith Tressendar ("The Black Hawk") — son, died fighting Orcs of Uruk Kuth Crypt (951 DR)

Roland found a Tressendar signet ring and claimed it. The spirits asked the party to "Free the town of this curse."

The Nothic

The basement held a Nothic in a pit — a twisted, degenerate wizard who communicates telepathically. It threatened to stalk and kill party members' loved ones unless they threw dead Redbrand bodies down to it. The party ultimately killed the Nothic.

Prisoners Freed

• A locked room held a boy and two women (mother and sister of the boy) — Thel Dendrar's family, kidnapped by Redbrands
• Alger Frakk (the missing blacksmith) was found knocked out and restrained in an armory
• All were led out safely

Next Steps

• Glasstaff / Iarno Albrek is deeper in the manor
• The Nothic is destroyed

Key Loot

• Tressendar Signet Ring (Roland)
• Glasstaff's study — contents to be investigated next session
