So what exactly did Kazavon do to the other artists? Did he posess them? Has the Queen been taken over by Kazavon? I am a little confused on exactly what Kazavon is and what he did? Where did Queen Llosa get the Fangs of Kazavon? Is she actually Queen Lleosa or some spirit of Kazavon?
Kazavon is dead, though his spirit lingers on the the various 'Relics of Kazavon'. The Fangs are one such relic and were, until recently, hidden in the ruins under Castle Korvosa. Kazavon's spirit had been sending dreams to sensitive mortals, but quit doing that to focus on Illeosa when the Queen stumbled upon the Fangs. All of the artists except for Salvator Scream committed suicide when Kazavon abandoned them and Laori has spent her recent time gathering tracking them down and gathering their skulls for use with speak with dead.
What is Laori's goals is he trying to revive Zon-Kuthon? Need some clarification and why she needs to find Salvatore besides his artwork having tied with Zon-Kuthon. What is Laori's goals and purpose?
Kazavon was a favored dragon warlord of Zon-Kuthon and Laori is part of a special sect of the church dedicated to tracking the relics down so that they can be used to resurrect Kazavon. She hopes to use Salvator's contact with Kazavon to help her track down one of the relics (ie. the Fangs) but unfortunately has run up against a dead-end since Kazavon departed from Salvator.
Why was the Red Mantis after Vencarlo and Neolandus who hired the Red Mantis?
Queen Illeosa hired the Red Mantis to kill Neolandus as he would have had power as the senechal to oppose her rise to power. The assassins are after Vencarlo because they believe he knows where Neolandus is.
Does the Queen know of the PC's at this point? Assuming they did not try to accuse her of the Plague back in chapter 2? What exactly does the Queen know of the PC's?
Illeosa should have met with the characters in Edge of Anarchy when they returned her brooch. If they did anything at all to stop the plague (ie. her plague) then she should know of them and will most likely hold a grudge, even if they didn't try to pin it on her.
Also, how are you other DM's determining what magical items are available in Korvosa? Would they have almost every minor magical item? Where exactly are the magical items sold besides the Gilded Orrery? There aren't really any other magical item shops are there?
Should I rolling for the availability of most magical items? How do you other DM's deal with magical items?
Since Korvosa is the largest city in Varisia and is on somewhat pleasant terms with Cheliax, I assume that most minor items and enchantments can be found or acquired and shipped there by a merchant. I figured that anything the characters could actually pay for through Book 3 would be obtainable.
