The Statue of Destruction Report

General Summary

Previously: Hamming it Up
With a strategy to keep damage minimalised, and one of the attacks neutralised with ham, it doesn't take the party long to whittle down the rest of the statue's health. It finally takes enough damage and explodes while everyone ducks for cover, and Tharg quickly harvests the lightning-smoked ham for a delicious breakfast meat.

New Day

The party and their allies use the lack of remaining stairs to create a defensible position in the second story of the front of the inn. After a good long rest, they help Martisha gather the dead for funeral rites, and track down any remaining cultist loot. This includes some scrolls, potions, documents and an enchanted short-spear or javelin, which they luckily spotted had been trapped with another Glyph of Warding. Herdyr quickly disposed of it with a chanting of dispel magic, and Tharg tested out his new Javelin of Lightning on an unoccupied barrel.
The party collected up as much 'lightining touched metal' as they could to use as ingredients for potions of invulnerability or to sell, and get a list of the remaining cultists that crossed Martisha, so that she can ensure her revenge through you. Tanuviel, aka Redbrow, decides to travel with the party for the moment, although he considers his debt to them cleared after everyone survived the battle. They head northwest, following the cultists trail towards Fort Locke.
