Return to Orlane
Before leaving Hommet... point out the following:
It looks very likely if they cross at the same place as their previous trip they will run into one of the Kaan patrols. Any none-human that is noticed will be captured, if that is expressed Queller will offer to wait on this side of the river for the party to return.
The soldiers will question the party on why they are coming to Kaan/Orlane and will want to search the cart. They will ask for Bags of Holding to be flipped so they can be searched. And will roll checks to see past Caelynn and Hope's disguises. Sparkhawk to roll a CHA check (DC10) to make sure he isn't recognized by a fellow soldier. None of these soldiers are the 'Lieutenant' or the 'Banner man', but may have been soldiers in Sparhawk's former unit.
Aggression towards the soldiers will be met in kind and the Sargent will blow a horn bringing two patrols to their location. Persuasion or Deception against the Sargent's insight can get them past. On their way into Orlane the party can see a large camp of soldiers in the distance.
- Retcon that Devic added Queller and Ezra to the 'allowable' creatures to pass the warding.
- Black Thorn Mercs are gone
- Work is continuing on the Keep (If they speak with the mason, he explains he has received payment for another month)
- The grass and other plants directly around the tower have over grown since you have had the orb in the tower.
Border Patrol:
Perception checks to decide how far away the party is when they notice the patrols. There is a garrison of 3 Soldiers and 1 Sargent at the far end of the bridge, but a patrol of 4 soldiers can be see along the bank of the river.Kaan Soldier CR: 2 (450 XP)

Orlane:
There is also a garrison of soldiers patrolling around the town. They will keep on eye on newcomers, but assume the border patrols vetted them, therefore leaving them alone unless they cause problems. They do not restrict movement around the town. Mayor Ormond: Visiting the Mayor is the safest course of action for the players. He ushers them in quickly, looking around for anyone watching. He will be ecstatic that you have returned with the Orb, but he is also concerned. While he loves his homeland and respects the Baron of Kaan, he doesn't align with their view of other types of people.- The arrival of a battalion of troops is dis concerning. Something has happened, but he doesn't know what.
- Council sent a cleric for the temple. Cleric Klavon is an older, experienced Cleric and he isn't happy about the situation.
- Due to the arrival of the army, Ormond asked Rowan to escort the two Elves out of Kaan. If she returns, it won't be for several more days.
- He is eternally grateful that you have returned with the orb. He explains it may be best for everyone if he takes it to the temple... less questions for the party.
- Best thanks he can offer is a Ring of Resistance (1d20)
- It would be unwise to for non-Kaananites to open a new business in Orlane at the moment. There seems to be a lot of scrutiny going on.
- Traveling south? There is a ranching village nestled in a mountain range that has been a good trading partner for many centuries. We provide produce and they provide livestock, some of the best wool in the realm comes from there. When we started to rebuild I remembered it had been sometime since we heard from them so I sent a messenger, but he returned. The direct mountain pass was blocked and it can be dangerous to go around the mountain range. If you are heading that way, maybe you can check in on the Village of Haven?
- He speaks about the weakness of the other baronies and their reliance on lesser beings.
- He is grateful to have a strong group of humans retrieve their precious artifact.
- Kaan relies heavily on the production of Orlane's farms, you have done a great service for the barony.
- There are rumors that the Orb's disappearance was the work of two elven infiltrators. 'I will get to the bottom of this."
- He believes the whole town should be investigated on the suspicion of heresy, but the Council cares more about stabilizing the region at the moment. There will be time for that later.
