Shadow of the Demon (D&D 5e) - Episode 5

Previously: In our previous episode, Renchant and Tatyana attend their signing ceremony and become officially engaged (or betrothed). There is much feasting and celebrating their potential union. Some in the party, Raena foremost among them, have misgivings about Renchant’s motives, but after confronting him, she eventually becomes convinced that Renchant is sincere in his affection towards Tatyana. The next day the party leaves Inolulan and they travel south for three days through mountainous terrain upon the kings road, a well-traveled mostly north-south highway that runs the length of the kingdom of Craewen. Out of the mountains, the well-patrolled road turns muddy. During one of their rests, they see signs of war on the horizon as they witness a mobilization of Craewen’s forces. Entire regiments begin marching through the countryside towards the kingdom’s border with Kadolan. The party continues their journey, and after ten more days they finally arrive in Southmarch, the country’s current capital. Gaining entrance to the city, they proceed toward the palace, its white-washed walls atop a large hill in the center of the city catching the dying winter’s sun.
