Mayor’s Mansion (Arcadia)
Visited
The Mayor’s Mansion is a large estate in Arcadia currently being used as a headquarters by the necromancers operating in the city.
Overview
We infiltrated this location believing the leadership of the local necromancer cell resides here. The interior is surprisingly unkempt and in a state of disrepair, with indifferent servants who appear confused or magically compelled.
Layout
- Exterior/Courtyard: Guarded by pale, unresponsive sentries who appear to be undead or heavily charmed.
- Servants’ Quarters: Accessible via a balcony on the upper levels.
- Office/Study: A room occupied by Frolot, a contact for the necromancers’ spy network.
- Library: Contains historical records of the manor. Theren discovered a historian’s log here that ends abruptly, but reveals the manor was significantly extended downwards.
- The Cellar: Implied to be the true heart of the operation, accessible via stairs found after deducing the building’s downward extension.
Events
Our party infiltrated the mansion using a multi-pronged approach:
- Distraction: Temerity distracted the front guard with a performance.
- Infiltration: Gage entered via the balcony and helped disguise Theren as a servant.
- Encounter: Gage physically tackled a servant into Frolot’s office to maintain their cover.
