C3 - Ep23: Ashes Over Norvale

The streets of Norvale fall silent—but the danger hasn’t passed. After surviving a brutal battle against gnolls and a deadly roc, Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor finally reach the chapel at the center of town. The dead have been hidden, distractions have been set, and for the first time in hours, the party has a chance to move unseen. ⚔️🌑 But something feels wrong. Ash blankets the ground around the chapel in a thin gray layer, making every movement impossible to hide. Quinn and Annabel search carefully for signs of life, hoping to find evidence that survivors truly made it beneath the crypts. Instead, they find… nothing. No footprints. No movement. No signs anyone has entered or left the hidden door at all. 👁️🕯️ The silence settles heavily over the group as questions begin to mount. Are the survivors still alive beneath the chapel? Were they discovered already? Or is something else waiting below the surface? 🔥 With daylight fading and danger still lurking somewhere in Norvale, the party chooses caution over force. Messages are prepared. Familiars are sent scouting once more. And standing before the hidden entrance, Annabel, Quinn, Miller, and Thelandor realize they may be only moments away from uncovering what truly happened beneath the chapel. 🩸 👑 Crownfall slows the pace—but sharpens the tension. Because sometimes the quiet moments are the ones that feel the most dangerous.
