Sunday session #8 28/11/2213 - Secret of the Moon Door #1

Moon Beast

Tyarna Vorzin has been kidnapped by Moon Beasts from the Onther Tower! During the investigation winged apes attack the tower and kill the student Plooth, who was working with Tyarna on uncovering the secrets of the Temple of the Moon by Lake Haal, on the edge of the Narthan Highlands. As the apes retreat one is killed, the other escapes. The Moongold Key is recovered from beneath Plooth's clothes chest. According to legend it opens the Moon Door, in an ancient temple of the old moon goddess Selene, on the shores of Lake Haal. It had been sold to Tyarna by the merchant Jangar, a little over a month ago.
Investigation leads to a sinister merchant named Turjak Bom, who apparently wields the power of Black Flame. A fight ensues, Turjak kills a guard before he and his entourage are subdued.
