Eberron - Rising from the Last War

WHERE'S TERMINUS STATION?

At some point during their exploration of Terminus, the

characters learn that Garra has boarded a lightning

rail getting ready to leave Sharn if they don't know this

already. If the characters ask any bystanders, they learn

the location of the lift (area TIO) that leads to Termi­

nus Station.

AREAS OF TERMINUS

The following encounter locations are keyed to map

4.14. This map does not depict the entire district of Ter­

minus, but it shows the most likely places the characters

explore in this adventure.

Tl. SKYCOACH PLATFORM

A large platform at the top of a tower is crowded with a

diverse crew of humanoids. A prominent dock juts out

from the tower, overlooking the crowded bridges and

streets below. An unoccupied skycoach with a dragon­

shaped prow is chained to the south platform.

A crowd of 2d8 commoners and ld4 nobles is gathered

on the platform waiting to hire skycoaches.

The docked skycoach belongs to an off-duty profes­

sional driver named Belga Twillo. The chain anchoring

the skycoach to the dock has AC 19, 10 hit points, and

immunity to poison and psychic damage. A character

who makes a successful DC 17 Dexterity check with

thieves' tools picks the chain's lock. A bystander who

catches a character trying to steal the skycoach shouts

for the Sharn Watch (see "Sharn Watch Personali­

ties," page 258).

T2. COMMERCE STAIR

This 10-foot-wide outdoor spiral staircase wraps around

a tower containing several taverns and shops that sell

souvenirs and gifts for the city's visitors to bring home

to loved ones. The stair leads from the skycoach plat­

form (area Tl) to the roof of the tenement tower.

T3. TENEMENT TOWER STAIRS

This interior staircase connects the tenement tower roof

to areas T4, TS, and T6.

T4. ToP-LEVELAPARTMENTs
The doors to both apartments on this level are locked.
T4a. Martisha's Apartment. Martisha Kullandra
(neutral female Brelish human magewright; see chapter
6) lives in this modestly furnished studio apartment. If
the characters break into the 80-year-old's apartment,
Martisha flees, fighting for her life if she must. If the
characters knock on her door, Martisha shouts to them
through the door to go away.
A character who succeeds on DC 12 Charisma (Per­
suasion) check convinces Martisha to talk to the charac­
ters. If asked about Garra, Martisha gives the characters
the following information:

CHAPTER 4 I BUILDING EBERRON ADVENTURES

• Martisha has a half-ogre neighbor who lives in the
  other apartment on this floor.


• The half-ogre never bothered Martisha but does have
  loud guests from time to time, including many mon­
  strous immigrants from Droaam, coming and going at
  all hours.


• Martisha saw the half-ogre leave the apartment min­
  utes before the characters arrived.
  T4b. Garra's Living Area. When the characters enter
  this area, read or paraphrase the following boxed text to
  the players:

Cabinets hang on the north wall of this large room, which

is hazy with the smell of tobacco. Near the east wall

stands an overstuffed couch. An rectangular table turned

on its side blocks a closed door on the south wall.

__/

Four kenku cutpurses working for Daask hide in two

groups of two: one group behind the couch, the other

behind the table. A character with a passive Wisdom

(Perception) score of 13 or higher is not surprised by the

kenku, which prefer to attack from behind the furniture.

When using the couch and table for protection, a crea­

ture gains half cover. The cabinets are empty.

T4c. Garra's Bedroom. When the characters enter

this area, read the following boxed text to the players:

A frantic gnoll is picking up papers from the floor to

throw into a burning brazier at the center of the room.

Beyond the brazier, Sergeant Vilroy is bound at the hands

and feet with rope, lying bloodied and unconscious on a

large mattress.

Nur, a Daask gnoll, is burning Garra's documents as or­

dered by the half-ogre. Of the documents that remain on

the floor, two are of interest. One is a receipt for a light­

ning rail ticket, indicating the time, date, and journey of

Garra's lightning rail trip to Wroat. The other document

contains a list of the names and addresses of the war­

forged hired to work in the ruins of Old Sharn. You can

add other documents that could act as story hooks for

future adventures.

Sergeant Germaine Vilroy (neutral female Brelish

human veteran) is restrained and unconscious and

currently has 5 hit points remaining. After getting the

information she needed from Germaine, Garra knocked

her out using oil of taggit (see "Caden d'Orien" earlier in

this adventure). A character can remove the ropes bind­

ing the sergeant as an action. If the characters wake up

Germaine, she tells the characters to continue pursuing

Garra and that she can get help for herself.

T5. LOWER-LEVELAPARTMENTS

The lower-level apartments have similar layouts to the

ones in area T4 but house different creatures. The door

to every apartment is locked. If you need occupants for

an apartment, use the Apartment Occupants table to

generate them. There is a 10 percent chance that an
