	~~This is the~~ Forgotten Rose ~~adventure~~ in the campaign setting of [[Meamnar:Main_Page\|Meamnar]].		Forgotten Rose is a story arc for a solo campaign. The campaign is set mostly in the Northern Kingdoms of the campaign setting of [[Meamnar:Main_Page\|Meamnar]]. The main character begins the campaign as a first-level Rogue and first-level Sorcerer named Rose.

	~~This adventure is being designed for a solo campaign. It is currently in an unfinished state.~~		==Adventure Background==

	~~Notes:~~		In the year 1014, Northern Reckoning, a conjurer named Mondar completed work on a tower in the Kingdom of Hylar that could teleport itself to various outer planes at his command. He used this to bring forth denizens of the lower planes in an assault against the kingdom. A group of adventurers, led by Erendil the Red Paladin, defeated Mondar during Highsun of that year. One of the adventurers, a wizard named Karn, disrupted the teleportation ability of the tower, effectively stranding it on the plane of Baator, the Nine Hells. Before it was teleported away, Erendil also placed a curse on the tower, preventing Mondar or any of his descendants from entering it.

	~~Father~~, ~~human male wizard 8~~		The tower still exists within Baator. Three days each year, however, beginning on Highsun, the tower returns to its original location.
	~~Mother~~, ~~elven female x 4~~

	~~Wizard~~, Seldar, ~~attacks~~ the house ~~in Threshold~~. ~~Kills both~~. Rose ~~is across~~ town. ~~Father~~, ~~upon death, casts~~ Forgotten Rose ~~and B contingencies~~. ~~Wizard takes spellbooks, etc,~~ and A, ~~a magical device that~~ he ~~plans~~ to ~~use to attack a dwarven colony~~.		By 1230 NR, most knowledge of the tower has been lost. A couple of books penned by Karn were in the possession of Archibald the Sage of Threshold. Mondar's only living descendant, Seldar, through divination, discovered the existence of the books. Himself a conjurer as well, Seldar attacked Archibald, killing him and his wife, and stole the books (and anything else of value in the house). He then set fire to the house and escaped. Their daughter, Rose, was fortunately in another part of town at the time. Thanks to a contingency spell of Archibald's, Forgotten Rose, all evidence of her existence was erased. Once Seldar returned to his underground lair and began studying Archibald's writings, he discovered the spell and dispatched an assassin to find and murder Rose.

	~~Over three months, Rose is befriended by Y,~~ a ~~3rd level rogue, who just wants her magical abilities~~ to ~~commit crimes. She learns 1 level~~ of ~~rogue from him~~.		Seldar intends to find a way to recover the tower and gain control of its teleportation abilities.

	Seldar finds the contingency spells in Father's spellbooks, and contracts a bounty hunter, Z, to track down any offspring. Z goes to the town, meets with Y, and works out an arrangement.		Meanwhile, Rose found herself homeless on the streets of Threshold, and soon connected with a halfling rogue named Eleanor. Eleanor began teaching her the tricks of her trade. Rose has also discovered, fairly recently, a talent for arcane magic that she is only just beginning to understand.

			The adventure begins in Threshold, with the assassin, Vartek, having arranged a meeting with Eleanor, waiting in the shadows of a derelict building for the two rogues to spring his trap.

			==Adventure Synopsis==

			Rose must foil the attempt on her life, discover that Seldar is responsible for it, determine why he killed her parents, and prevent him from gaining control of the tower.

			==Beginning the Adventure==

			The adventure begins in an abandoned building in Threshold. The building was most recently a cobbler's shop, with a storefront and workshop on the main level, and a small residence in the upper level. Eleanor has instructions from Vartek to lead Rose to the back room of the second floor, where he will attempt to kill her. Eleanor, for her part, has been paid 20 gold coins up front, and expects another 100 upon delivery.

			Eleanor's ruse is that the room would make a wonderful new hideout for the two of them, their current one being too drafty, stuffy, dirty, etc.

			==Concluding the Adventure==

			If the tower survives the battle intact, Rose is within her rights to claim ownership and use it as a base of operations.

			==Notes==

			Father, human male wizard 8 Mother, elven female x 4

			Wizard, Seldar, attacks the house in Threshold. Kills both. Rose is across town. Father, upon death, casts Forgotten Rose and B contingencies. Wizard takes spellbooks, etc, and A, a magical device that he plans to use to attack a dwarven colony.

			Over three months, Rose is befriended by Y, a 3rd level rogue, who just wants her magical abilities to commit crimes. She learns 1 level of rogue from him.

			Seldar finds the contingency spells in Father's spellbooks, and contracts a bounty hunter, Z, to track down any offspring. Z goes to the town, meets with Y, and works out an arrangement.

This is the unfinished Forgotten Rose adventure in the campaign setting of [[Meamnar:Main_Page|Meamnar]].

Details:

Father, human male wizard 8
Mother, elven female x 4

Wizard, Seldar, attacks the house in moderately-sized town. Kills both. Rose is across town. Father, upon death, casts Forgotten Rose and B contingencies. Wizard takes spellbooks, etc, and A's Heart, an obsidian sphere, that he plans to use to create a dragon-creature to attack a dwarven colony.

Over three months, Rose is befriended by Y, a 3rd level rogue, who just wants her magical abilities to commit crimes. She learns 1 level of rogue from him.

Seldar finds the contingency spells in Father's spellbooks, and contracts a bounty hunter, Z, to track down any offspring. Z goes to the town, meets with Y, and works out an arrangement.

Events happen, and Obryn shows up at the right moment to save the day.

Holes: what's the arrangement, how does Y die, how does Z die or get thrown off track, how does Rose find out about Seldar.
