- Arrival at the Citadel
- Read the box text.
- If the characters are prisoners:
- A guard named Corelleth, who is loyal to Xedalli, meets the characters. He will escort them to the palace. He makes his friendly intentions clear, and can tell characters the following:
- Prince Xeleth’s coronation will occur immediately after his father’s funeral.
- Many wish Xeleth AND Xedalli to be coronated together, following the emperor’s wishes.
- As emperor, Xeleth will have the characters executed.
- If the characters are infiltrating:
- The characters can land at the common docks and sneak into the city.
- Once in the city, everyone is preoccupied with the coronation.
- They have time to take a short rest if they take this approach.
- If they land at the imperial docks, they will be greeted by Corelleth.
- Temple of Light
- Read the box text.
- Have Xedalli look towards the characters insinuating they should speak up.
- If they don’t, she still nominates them as bearers of a ring of shooting stars.
- Verbal sparring between Xeleth and the characters. DC 20 Charisma (Persuasion) check to sway the crowd to favoring Xedalli.
- Depending on who loses the verbal sparring, a challenge for trial by combat.
- Read box text where Xeleth names the zodar his challenger.
- Fighting the Zodar
- If the characters won the verbal sparring for Xedalli, she leads a chant that gives each character 20 temporary hit points.
- The zodar has two tactics – hit someone close to it twice and teleport them away or teleport a squishy far away near by and then hit them twice. I’d lean into the latter since characters keeping their distance probably have weaker Constitution saves.
- Aftermath
- Read the different box text depending on if the characters defeat the Zodar.
- On to the final chapter!
