Sed Terra Graviora Manent (Mission Notes)

Executor: Aerivandor Rhydane

There was a request from Lord Dilshad Ekmekci. He has requested for our mercenaries to investigate the sudden silence of the Levorre Wineyard, a famous estate controlled by a Master Vecnar Levorre. Despite having sent messengers, none returned; hence, the Eriduen head’s concern.

The party was transported by an Ekmekci vessel and delivered to the long driveway to the Levorre estate. Initially, the vineyards had no signs of any trouble or turmoil and the mercenaries were left puzzled by the complete peace. However, the perceptive Mortimer and Pleiades were able to alert the group of strange botanic creatures before being surrounded. Though the party was able to clear off their foes, Pleiades had been overwhelmed by strange tree-like creatures known as Hollows and ultimately lost his life.

After searching the home, they found letters on the the affairs of the household and a hidden away attic room. Without any obvious direction, the party was confused on what to do until they heard strange singing from the woods behind the Levorre Estate. Following the song, it led them to the wild grove of Dina, the bastard daughter of Lord Vecnar. They were able to surmise she had been abused until she retaliated by controlling the wildlife to consume all other life besides her beloved younger half-sister, Abroud. She was in the middle of crafting a new body for her sister when the adventurers found her.

Disheartened from their earlier loss, they were not ready to fight with this powerful caster. They tried to enlist her powers to revive the dead druid of their company but Dina exploited their affections. After negotiation, the party returned to Lord Ekmekci and the Levorre sisters were acknowledged as the proper heirs of the estate with no punishment after their parents’ deaths while Dina sustained the body of Pleiades for a possible Reincarnate later on.

Though the mission was a success in the original objectives, it is a Pyrrhic victory. What will come of this deal with Dina will test the bonds and skills of our mercenaries
