| NPC / Other Actor | Status | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Markos | Freed | Delphi estate | Hands injured; cooperative; not a threat |
| Zala | Curse lifted | Delphi estate | Holds Codex; committed to locking it; following up on entity. Human form. |
| The Entity | Active | Unknown | Spoke to Anar post-ritual; crystals smashed but entity not destroyed; uncontained |
| Gnome Bard | Encountered | Seelie Market | Knows Puck's mentor; implied the mentor went missing. Name not given. |
| Puck's Mentor | Missing | Rift Canyon (last known) | Puck uses "Fred" as placeholder. Gone from bardic college. Weeks away by boat/lake. |
The entity addressed Anar by name ("Anor" — likely his actual name, not a mispronunciation) and told him it would not forget him. It is still active despite the ritual being broken and the spirit-plane crystals being destroyed. Zala is aware and committed to follow-up — but no method, timeline, or specific plan was established in-session. This is the campaign's most immediate unresolved supernatural threat.
Puck used "Fred" as a deflecting placeholder name, but the gnome bard at the Seelie Market clearly knew who was meant and implied the mentor had disappeared from the Rift Canyon bardic college. Rift Canyon is described as weeks away by boat or lake.
Three bundles of human skin, five pounds of thumbnail pearls. Penelope covered these before the party arrived. She has not shared the information. The wagon was back near the gatehouse in Greyhawk City.
Orimene referenced "Riley" and something she described as "undone" while at the Seelie Market. No elaboration was given. The Adelaide family signet ring remains in play from prior sessions.
Appearing on Penelope's hand. Not addressed this session. Origin and significance not stated in transcript.
Zala holds it. She said she'll lock it away. Where is unspecified. Whether she's trustworthy in this is an open question the party has not yet asked.
| NPC | Disposition | Key info |
|---|---|---|
| Markos | Freed, cooperative | Was being used as a channel by the entity; was not a willing participant; hands injured. Gertie is his daughter. |
| Zala | Allied, pragmatic | Curse lifted when ritual ended. Has the Codex. Wants to lock it away. Will investigate the entity. Paid the party generously. |
| Elra (spirit) | Unknown | Appeared in spirit plane; directed Anar to crystals. Status after crystal destruction unknown. |
| Gnome Bard (Seelie Market) | Neutral, informed | Knows Puck's mentor. Valedictorian of same college. Name not recorded. May be a future contact. |
| The Entity | Active, hostile intent | Whispered to Anar post-ritual. Still present. Zala investigating. Has Anar's attention specifically. |
Anar entered the spirit plane when he dropped to 0 HP in this location. He was able to act there, smashing Far Realm crystals. Whether this applies universally or only in locations with active spirit-plane connections needs DM decision for future sessions.
Four crystals were smashed by Anar in the spirit plane. This disrupted but did not destroy the entity. The significance of the crystals' destruction for future containment attempts is unclear.
Zala's human form was restored when the ritual ended — implying her curse was directly connected to whatever Markos was being used to summon or sustain.
Spirit-cleansing herbs recovered from the chamber. Mechanics for use not established in session. DM to decide before they become relevant.
The party is at the Seelie Market, rested or soon to rest. Three immediate threads are available to pull without travel: the entity follow-up through Zala, the gnome bard as a contact regarding Puck's mentor, and whatever Orimene does with the Riley information. The wagon contents give Penelope a secret that will eventually surface.
The mentor hook requires travel — weeks by boat to Rift Canyon. If the party pursues this, it's a major journey. If the entity thread escalates through Zala's contact, that could pull them into a more immediate arc without the travel cost.
No character has leveled up on-screen this session. Resource tracking: Puck is depleted on several spell slots (Mirror Image, Disguise Self, Healing Word, Suggestion). A long rest has been discussed but not confirmed as completed.
