Dm NotesSamantha fears Yolich may be right but also that she must be stopped. The 'master' Samantha alludes to is likely Macklot. Karl's medallion was stashed by Ren in WillowWood.
Detailed NarrativeSamantha arrives at Lightwatch and tells the group the missing piece for the forge activation is an ancient 'battery' — probably findable in the recently uncovered ruins of the Hesh city of Loresh, inside the obsidian cliffs near Cliffhaven. She will lend the medallions for passage and knows Captain Kate can smuggle them in. Samantha is also looking for Karl's lost medallion (taken during the fall of Fairbreeze). She acknowledges the Cards are effectively defunct; only the Hench brothers' vendetta war against the Gallunds and Yolich's plot remain. She fears Yolich and her 'master' (implied) must be stopped before everyone dies. Marshal Aidir visits and intimates he knows the party altered the treaty (amuses him). He offers to give the location of Kar Kolis prison in exchange for cooperation against Darkmoon and stopping the rogue Hench brothers. He also proposes financing a second Bourdain expedition in exchange for forge knowledge. He seems unaware of the Loresh plans. The Eastguard ruins are in shambles; Darkmoon forces under summoner Glassic have fortified them. Two-headed trolls attack the ruins, which the party can intercede with or not.
