Nethelma Capture Operation

Wednesday, October 01, 2025

The party finished the office fight, recovered documents tying Pallidium supply shortfalls to Nathnelma's requests, and captured Nathnelma alive at her home.

Participants

Recap

After finishing the fight in Nathnelma’s office, the party recovered records connecting Pallidium to Shadow Ash quantity demands and obtained Nathnelma’s home address. They then conducted a night assault at her residence, knocked her out, and stabilized her alive.

Major Events

  • Finished the fight in Nathnelma‘s office and searched the room.
  • Found a note containing Nathnelma’s home address.
  • Found a letter from Pallidium stating it did not have enough Shadow Ash in the quantity Nathnelma had requested.
  • Recovered additional treasure from the office.
  • Healed up and went to Nathnelma’s home.
  • Found the house mostly dark, with lights visible on the second floor.
  • Stella used a scroll of “Helpful Steps” to reach a second-floor window.
  • Hobgrim used “Knock” to open the window.
  • The party lobbed fireballs into the office after identifying Nathnelma and accompanying goons.
  • Knocked Nathnelma unconscious and then stabilized her.

NPCs and Factions Mentioned

  • Nathnelma - Office target and later home-assault target; captured alive after being knocked out and stabilized.
  • Pallidium - Source of a letter stating it could not fulfill requested Shadow Ash quantity.
  • Shadow Ash - Material named in requested quantities tied to Pallidium correspondence.

Important Context

  • The live-capture request remained actionable and the party ended with Nathnelma alive.
  • Written evidence linked Nathnelma’s requests to a stated Shadow Ash supply shortfall at Pallidium.

Unresolved Threads

  • Determine what Nathnelma knows about Shadow Ash demand and downstream use.
  • Review all recovered office documents and treasure for operational links.
  • Identify Nathnelma’s associates and “goons” encountered at her home.
  • Decide next handoff/negotiation steps now that Nathnelma has been captured alive.
