The Life and Times of a Dead Man - Episode 20 - Where in Eberron is Hendra?

*Thanks to our note taker for providing the bones of this summary*

In the early morning, our adventurers discovered Hendra's room unexpectedly empty. Concerned, they decided to pay a visit to Hendra's residence. Upon arrival, the butler informed them that Hendra was unavailable. Undeterred, Audrey Rose left a message and the group departed. Amidst their worry, Zita speculated that Hendra might be pregnant, a suggestion that Sabrina quickly dismissed. The group pondered if the recent forest journey had overtaxed Hendra, a concern that prompted Dol to suggest a break-in.

Amidst their deliberations, they received correspondence from London, seeking their assistance in locating his master. The letter, originating from the Highwater district—a place well-known to Sabrina—prompted a new course of action.

Disguising Sabrina as an elderly woman, the group ventured to Highwater, where they were greeted by London, an anthropomorphic, over-enthusiastic dog, donning ceremonial attire. Despite their efforts to gently break the news of his master's likely demise, London remained hopeful, even offering a substantial reward to find his missing master, which Sabrina nobly declined.

The group learned of London's unique abilities, including tracking, healing, and combat skills. Intrigued by his capabilities, Audrey Rose proposed that London assist them in their investigations in exchange for accommodation, an offer he eagerly accepted.

As they returned, two individuals, Felix and Ezekazi, approached them, seeking help to find their sister, who ventured into the notorious, supposedly haunted Dwiyers. Despite the building's eerie silence and lack of evidence of habitation, the group pressed on, confronting various traps and supernatural threats.

Their exploration led to a harrowing encounter with Beheadeds and a gelatinous cube, which they managed to overcome through teamwork and quick thinking. However, the ordeal revealed a sinister plot involving Dol, prompting a confrontation with Felix and Ezekazi, who were revealed to have ulterior motives.

In the aftermath, the party salvaged valuable items and uncovered a wanted poster for Dol, hinting at deeper family entanglements. Despite their victories, the session concluded with unresolved mysteries and the weight of their newfound responsibilities, setting the stage for their next adventure.
