This week The One That Got Away delves into an unexplored cranny of the Coachman’s Inn. There are secrets and opportunities for adventure and disaster waiting in the basement.

Bring Us the Mind: We Will Give You the Memories

For most people the tent market at the Coachman’s Inn is the main attraction. Those who are in the know come for something more. In a chamber below the inn, Margret Wells runs another business that could only exist in an area free from the pesky confines of law. For a price she will take you down to a special room and hand you off to her business partner, Shillerdain Freewind.

Freewind is an elven necromancer who specializes in extracting the memories of the dead. For a price he will allow a customer to experience the lives of deceased persons that they bring him. He also has a collection of the preserved memories of various people from the far past.

The Twists

1)      The party is hired by a diplomat to recover the memory of his predecessor before Freewind sells it with all its secrets to the highest bidder.

2)      The party has recovered the head of a dead hero who was the last to possess a powerful magic item. They cannot meet Freewind’s price, but there are memories he would like them to collect.

3)      Long ago there was a powerful beast that could not be killed as long as it was remembered. Those who knew of this weakness erased the beast from all records and killed those who knew about it. Then they killed themselves. A young thrill seeker has relived the life of a member of this group, and in so doing has resurrected the beast.
