Story
The party set out to return to the prince to Canton Coty and King Erik. The travel was not too rough, it was getting late, and the party decided to rest for the evening. For some strange reason, they decided to have Adran and Lapahne keep watching separately (watch 1 and watch 2) and the rest of the party take watch 3. During the 1st watch, Adran feel asleep as a strange mist blanketed the area. When the party awoke the prince and the cart were missing. Only tracks leading off into the forest were visible.
The party lead by Laphane, followed the tracks to an old house. The tracks stopped at the front door, but no cart could be found. When they opened the door, the party heard music and singing. Sending the hunter to investigate, Laphane searched the area, and found the dining room. In there, undead where singing and having a dinner. The portait at the end of the room seemed to be leading it. Laphane stealthed back to the party to explain what he saw. The party followed on, and as Ivon entered the room, the music stopped and the portrait spoke. He told us if we wanted our friend back, we would have to deal with "her". Then the dinner guests got up and attacked us. The fight was on.
When the fight was over, the portrait was impressed. It gave us a riddle to solve and that would open a chance to find the prince. Our first task was to find some plates that would identify the portrait and the four busts in the room. Task was easy enough for the Insel and Aegian Elves. With some clues the party was able to place the plates on correctly to identify each bust. The portrait told us to find a book and place in correctly in the library, and then we can find the prince. So the party headed upstairs, and heard voices coming from the room at the end of the hall.
