"Escape From Old Korvosa" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Intelligence

Much like the boosts given to Charisma and Constitution in the previous two chapters of the campaign, players who consult Zellara's Harrow Deck for a reading in "Escape From Old Korvosa" will be able to get Harrow Points if they draw Intelligence-suit cards.

These allow for Intelligence re-rolls throughout the chapter, bonuses to skill checks, and to increase the strength of arcane spells or overcome spell resistance, which may come in handy for some of the more magical creatures which start making their way into the story.

Answer: Fangs

The Crown of Fangs is a symbol of Queen Ileosa's grip on the city. While the plague ran rampant in Korvosa, she had the magical Fangs of Kazavon collected and bound to form a crown. It's shortly after this that her grip on the city is made more apparent to its citizens.

She holds a public event in front of Castle Korvosa, during which she tightens her stranglehold on the city, dissolves the Sable Company and murders the group's leader, Commandant Endrin, in front of the crowd. Cressida Kroft warns that it may be time to leave, but not before visiting Vencarlo... who's missing.

Answer: Blackjack

When the heroes are sent to Old Korvosa to find Vencarlo, they won't. At least, they won't yet. And heading to his house and studio will put the players face to face with Red Mantis Assassins who'll try to burn the place down. Searching Vencarlo's belongings will lead inquisitive minds to find a Blackjack suit amongst his things, revealing that he plays the role of the urban folk vigilante in his spare time.

They can don the suit thereafter. Someone knows where Vencarlo is though...

Answer: Artist

Another mission given to the players is to locate the former Seneschal of the city, Neolandus Kalepopolis, who the Queen has sent the Red Mantis to locate. The only one with a key to that mystery is likely Vencarlo's friend, Salvator Scream, whose studio is also in Old Korvosa.

The only person to find at Scream's however, is Laori Vaus, a follower of Zon-Kuthon and member of the Brotherhood of Bones who's clearly out-of-place in Korvosa. She's willing to help locate Salvator Scream and solve the mysteries in Old Korvosa, but you'll need to head to visit the Emperor of Old Korvosa to do that.

Answer: Blood Pig

If you head to the Old Dock you'll reach Pilt's Palace and need to work your way through the dilapidated buildings, by any means, to seek his audience. There, he'll try and get you to play a game of Blood Pig - involving a squirming, squealing pig and some dangerous combat - to appease him, but either way, if you make your way through his fortress you'll inevitably find Salvator Scream hidden deep within.

The man will be more than willing to give any information he has for his freedom, but all signs will point to the Arkona Residence, regardless of if you ask after the Seneschal or Vencarlo.

Answer: Rakshasa

This discovery isn't too hard to figure out, especially since, after finding Salvator Scream in Pilt's Palace, all signs will seem to point at the Arkona Family's connections to Old Korvosa. Glorio Arkona (actually a rakshasa named Bahor) will already have placed his pieces for the political game he's playing when the heroes come investigating, and it won't take much to persuade them to head down into the trap-laden dungeons and caverns beneath the estate to find what they're looking for.

Answer: Four

The Vivified Labyrinth, the dungeon beneath the Arkona Palace, is a labyrinth in the truest sense. Its exit/entrance can be very difficult to locate once anyone heads inside and it's protected by a bound Darksphinx known as Sivit who only serves to kill trespassers on Bahor's behalf. On top of this, there are many switches found throughout the dungeon which cause four different portions of the labyrinth to rotate ninety degrees.

These are turned by undead elephants in the chambers below the labyrinth. Killing some of these will lock the rooms in their configuration; the others won't be able to move them.

Answer: Vimanda

Another Rakshasa in a power play, Vimanda goes into the Vivified Labyrinth to either kill the heroes or sway them to her side to kill her brother; it's all one big struggle for power. Nonetheless, anyone heading into the labyrinth may or may not find her - she's a woman with a fox's head who, for quite some time, has likely been spying on the team (since 'Edge of Anarchy') via a Raktavarna, a magical dagger.

Answer: Neolandus Kalepopolis

Neolandus Kalepopolis, the former Seneschal of Castle Korvosa, decided to go to the Arkonas seeking a hiding spot from Queen Ileosa's reach. He succeeded, but this put him into harm's way as well. He can be found on a stretching rack being attended to by Senshiir, the Beatific One. Vencarlo can also be found in the Vivified Labyrinth in Sivit's chamber having wandered into the dungeons to find Neolandus. Ideally, the heroes can escape with both of them.

Answer: True

By this point, with the Queen already in the know about the heroes' machinations against her, with so many enemies in Old Korvosa, and having fought through the Temple of Urgathoa to stop Bloodveil from taking a harder grip, it's recommended by many friends and allies that the team lay low outside the city for a while until they can obtain the power to take down the now tyrannical queen once and for all. And so they should. With Neolandius in tow, Vencarlo suggests they head toward the Cinderlands to the town of Harse.

It's there that the adventure continues.
