payment for his research to
cure our friends of their demonic affliction. He lied/ommitted pieces
of his story, to legitimize his claim on the book "The Surreptitious
Road", telling us that Bigby had contacted him and asked him to get
the book for him. Francenn told us that Bigby had been chased out of the
Great Kingdom by the Overking , and could not return on pain of death.
He gave us a spell he'd created, known as "Francenn's Portal Key"
which would open our way to the secret library locke in the tower in Oldridge.
He also gave us a spell called "Force Transformation" which
would force any shapechanged creature back to it's original form, which
would really help us if Isaac or Darcius lost control before we cured
them.
So we did his little errand,
bringing back "The Surreptitious Road" from Bigby's Tower. He
informed us that he'd worked out a cure for the First
Stage of the infection, and he cured Angele of it. Unfortunately he
hadn't worked out the cure for our second stage were-raven buddies. So
we're locking them up in his laboratory for the three nights of the next
full moon.
Our second errand for him involved
travelling to Rel Deven, which we were doing anyway, and use a magic wand
to divine the nature of the city's magical defenders. These defenders
were glowing blue balls that float at random seemingly doing nothing,
but they are reputed to be fearsome in defense of the city. Ryvvik handled
the petty details of scanning the stones, and we came back to see his
Princeness in a month's time. He had not divined a cure for our friends
yet, but he told us that the best way to stop the curse would be to find
the start of it all and destroy it.
Our next visit to Ralsand was
a little more spontaneous. After becoming infected on the Wealsun full
moon, Cedric, Galen and Oliver went at top speed to see Francenn for the
cure for the first stage of the infection. In exchange we were going to
birng the very drunk Pince a cask of Fourth generation North Province
Brandy. We'll see how that goes.
It is also worth noting that
his dwarf guards appear to be polymorphed giants under some kind of mind
control.
