Session 3: Paints & Poisons

General Summary

  En route to Goldendale the party dispatched what they suspected were several of Rose's friends in the woods—hideous creatures resembling a child's drawings. Shaken by the encounter, the party pressed on to Goldendale where they received yet more bad news. The town was quarantined. A mysterious illness had forced trade to a standstill.   Bartleby and Micah aided the town's local healer, Dametra Flicke, in easing the suffering of the "swollen sleepers" while Jinn and Chari set to work investigating. The source of the disease seemed to be coming from a well in the poorer section of town. More distressingly, they suspected that the cause was not natural. Bart sent a local page on a reconnaissance mission which, while somewhat ill-conceived and ending poorly for the boy, yielded valuable results.   The following morning the party resolved to investigate the well. Inside they discovered a disturbing mosaic and a mysterious stone orb resting in an ewer of water. Micah used Cordyceps to destroy the orb, inadvertently causing the magic essence to be transferred into the sword. Satisfied that the immediate danger to the town had passed, the group went to inform the mayor.   With the culprits unmasked and the gratitude of Goldendale's leader behind them, the party debated what to do next.
