The Hall of Unsworn Oaths

Read Aloud

Water ripples around your legs as stone masks turn to follow you. Above, the king's throne hangs upside down, its chains groaning over a cracked oath seal. The hall waits for someone to tell the truth.

The Scene

NEUTRALInvestigative negotiation with a haunted locationBase DC 15

Stakes The oath is the only thing keeping Flaydra Manor's guardians from treating the characters as oathbreakers and intruders.

30 to 45 minutes

NPC Goal

The hall's bound caretaker wants the final oath restored so the dead servants can stop guarding an empty manor.

Leverage

The characters can offer a truthful confession, restore the missing oath clause, or threaten to break the throne's chain.

Player Approaches
  • Ask the masks direct questions and answer their replies without evasion.
  • Place a hand on the oath seal while making a verifiable statement.
  • Read the names carved beneath the throne aloud.
  • Admit one concealed reason for entering Flaydra Manor.
NPC Gambits
  • Use Insight to separate the hall's true memory from an echo's repeated lie.
  • Use Investigation to trace matching oath-marks across the masks and throne.
  • Use Persuasion to frame the oath as a promise still worth keeping.
  • Use Religion or Arcana to quiet a mask long enough to hear its original testimony.
  • Use Deception only if the character's statement is technically true.
NPC Reactions
  • On the first success, one mask turns toward the correct trail.
  • On the second success, the caretaker answers one direct question without demanding payment.
  • On the first failure, every mask repeats the character's last sentence with one word changed.
  • On the second failure, the caretaker refuses to answer and points toward the throne.
  • On the third failure, the hall calls up the Echo Wraiths.
