They returned naturally to the question of their lodgings: Should they go? If so, where? Jevicca suggested the Nibeck Street mansion.
It was currently abandoned, it would give them a base of operations as close to the Banewarrens as they might care to have, and it would let them defend the entrance to the Banewarrens. When I was initially ginning up the In the Shadow of the Spire campaign, of course, I had anticipated that the Ghostly Minstrel would serve as their initial home base:.
But then, during character creation, Tithenmamiwen unexpectedly ended up being from Ptolus. This meant that Tee actually owned a house in Ptolus, and I assumed it was quite likely that the group would end up staying there:.
But when the PCs went there, way back in Session 1 , something unexpected happened:. Returning to her house, Tee found everything undisturbed β essentially as she had left it, except for a thick covering of dust. With a distracted, almost manic air, she immediately set to spring cleaning the place.
Tee stopped what she was doing. It seemed to tear her up inside, but she was forced to admit that Ranthir was right. They left and she locked the door behind them. I fully expected that this would happen, so I reached out and grabbed Rosegate House from the Ptolus sourcebook pictured at the beginning of this post. But for whatever reason, despite often talking about it both at the table and away from it , the PCs never did it.
