# [[Aiden Court]]
![[Aiden Court.svg]]
Aiden Court is a High Cleric of [[Pharasma]] who visited the party in Level 4 of the [[Abomination Vaults]] on day 77. He arrived with two apprentices to assess the threat the dungeon poses to [[Otari]]. His staff glows when undead are nearby, which alerted him to the presence of undead in the area.
Court called [[Gloam]] their "wayward child" because Gloam hasn't been attending church regularly. When [[Vayle]] invited them to join the party due to the dangers of Level 5, Court and his apprentices declined. However, Vayle warned them to flee if they encounter [[Siora Fallowglade]], and one of the apprentices silently thanked the group for the warning before they descended to Level 5.
## Discovery of Vayle's Nature (Session 096)
During the party's encounter with Court on Level 5, [[Vayle]] attempted to heal Court but accidentally killed [[Siora Fallowglade]] in the process. Court witnessed [[Vayle]] taking damage from the same *Heal* spell that killed Siora, revealing [[Vayle]]'s undead nature. Despite this discovery, Court surprisingly allowed the party to leave without taking action against them.
Court's apprentices [[Tartucci]] and [[Vorn]] were present during this encounter.
## Upcoming Confrontation (Session 099)
During [[099_20251026 The Dwarven Irnakurse]], the party decided to return to [[Otari]] from their exploration of Level 5. [[Vayle]] is concerned about facing Court, who now has knowledge of Vayle's undead nature. The confrontation is pending and Vayle is uncertain about what action Court will take regarding this information.
