The Prisoner Called Voss

Hook

The party freed a human prisoner called Voss from a guarded cell beneath Castle Avernus. He claims to remember nothing of his past but feels he was once someone powerful.

Evidence

  • Two large skeletal beings guarded his barred cell.
  • Voss battered the bars with animal desperation during the battle.
  • Rage smashed the cage open, and Carver used calm emotions to settle him.
  • He gives his name as Voss but claims no other memories.
  • He believes or feels that he was once powerful.
  • He sincerely pledged himself to the party after being freed.

Open questions

  • Who is Voss?
  • Why was he imprisoned beneath Castle Avernus?
  • What kind of power does he dimly remember?
  • Who took his memories, and can they be restored?
  • Can the party safely trust him while his past remains unknown?

Next steps

  • Keep Voss safe while observing what abilities, knowledge, or memories return.
  • Search the crypts and Castle Avernus’s records for evidence of his imprisonment.
