Full Success
Safely back on land, the characters can watch the fortress descend faster and faster until it slams into the Moonsea, the mission a success.

Once back, the factions and local powers will hold a festival in their honor, the Baron and the fortress vanquished. The only exception to this cheer is the Lord’s Alliance, who will be frustrated to hear that Selise was subverted and is currently missing. They are still thankful for the character’s efforts, regardless of Selise’s predicament.

Story Awards:

Favor of Seer
If the characters choose to not sell the jade dagger, they may instead turn it over to SEER. If they do, they all earn her admiration, as this very dagger was lost during an expedition that, in her words, “went poorly”. The blade is a family heritage item and all that remains of her long-lost uncle, whom she refuses to name directly. SEER is willing to provide a character that has this story award with one spell scroll of second level or lower. If the character is a member of the Lords’ Alliance, they can instead choose a spell scroll of up to third level. If the character is a member of the Lords’ Alliance and is rank four or higher, they may instead choose a spell scroll of level 3 or lower and also receive a potion of heroism. Any spell chosen for this reward must be on the wizard spell list and cannot be a ritual. Once a reward is chosen, strike out this story award.

Downtime Activity:

Vergadin's Firespirits - Unclaimed (0/60)
Vergadain, a dwarven deity of wealth and trickery, was known for his favored drink; as clear as water and smelled of honey and cane sugar, but was in truth an incredibly potent liquor that put standard dwarven spirits to shame. He would sometimes challenge unknowing humans and elves to drinking contents, where he would slyly swap in sweetened water while his opponent would down drink after drink of this highly-flammable liquid. It rarely ended well for them. And now you have the recipe!

You may spend 60 downtime days to craft one barrel of firespirits. Each batch requires special sweet herbs from Bitter-root’s copse near Durlag’s Tower and 100 gp worth of other materials, including aged dwarven spirits blessed by a dwarven priest. If you find yourself in possession of campaign documentation that bestows ownership of a distillery, this time and gold cost is reduced by half.

Each barrel contains approximately 30 gallons of firespirits, and can be sold for 1,000 gp. Alternately, as this is a rare elixir; it may be worth a significant amount to Fai Chen, certain high-ranking lords, or other purveyors of such fineries. Additionally, if you give a nip of firespirits (just a wee one) to a dwarf, all Charisma (Persuasion) checks made with them are made with advantage for the next hour.

Once she has paid for *7,500 pp** worth of magic items and spellbooks, Obaya hires a small squad of bodyguards, books passage on a merchant ship heading to Chult, and returns to Port Nyanzaru with her trove.*

1 Free Resu c/o the Harpers (ALCC 8.09 pg.21, Changes to Princes of the Apocalypse)
If the characters emerge from the dwarven crypts with Orcsplitter in their custody, the Harpers in area X5 confront them under the open sky. If the characters avoid area X5, the Harpers will track them and confront them elsewhere (the DM is encouraged to choose a thematically appropriate location based on the characters and their actions in the story thus far) within the next two days. They point out that Orcsplitter belongs in the hands of dwarven scholars. They’ll first appeal to the characters’ sense of altruism, but if that doesn’t work, the Harpers try to arrange for a trade that allows a single character to choose one option from a list of magic items and services in exchange for Orcsplitter:
- A silver token inlaid with a porcelain dove, good for one free resurrection of that character by a Harper cleric – no questions asked
