Procedures for the Liberation of Sir Uravulon Calcidius

At the start of each session after leaving the Tower of the Stargazer, have the player with the unluckiest character pick a number between 1 and 16. Then have them roll a 1d16. If they roll their number, something or someone has freed Sir Uravulon Calcidius. Roll on “Table 102: Revenge of Sir Calcidius”.

When freed, Sir Uravulon Calcidius will seek the party and exact his revenge. There are a few steps he will take:

First, he will work to secure a suitable spellbook (immediate or 1d6 sessions, depending on character actions)

Then, he will begin asking questions to find the characters.

At the start of each session:

  • The unluckiest surviving character makes a Luck check. Failure means Sir Uravulon Calcidius has found them. He will strike in the next session.
  • The luckiest surviving character makes a Luck check. Success means they learn that someone has been asking questions about their whereabouts.
  • The survivors are Albert, Dave; Ilvora, Stemp; Badger’s Bane, Yeasty; Ungo the Beggar, Ahm-mal the Witness; Quenlynn, Ralph; Obexa the Agent, Spike

While asking around for the characters, he will begin hiring assistance. The players may learn ahead of time that someone is hiring a band if they themselves are hiring characters.
