We got up and started walking around, and we all noticed that Skamos sounded… Different. Which is worrying, but he seems okay. After trying to check him over we found nothing out of place, aside from the fact that his dialect and accent had changed. Upon traveling further we found a taunting note from Eoifen suggesting that they were not in the sewers, which seems dubious at best so we decided to contact Iacob. On our way to the Salty Sea Questers, we ran into what I later learned were corpse flowers that spawn zombies, which we quickly dispatched (I bisected a zombie by throwing my greatsword. Despite the derisive look and chiding from Skamos, I found it both enjoyable and effective.) We surfaced and found Vespucci carousing with customers, although it took me a moment to realize it was him. I asked the bartender about summoning Iacob before I ordered food and drink for everyone. As we waited for food I walked out into the sideways rain, courtesy of Vespucci, and scrubbed the remaining shit off myself before my skin crawled off me. To my surprise, Skamos met me outside and helped, rinsing himself down in the process given the torrent of rain. We returned to food being served. As I drank and tried to unwind somewhat, Floran had a rousing conversation about not believing in the Gods with Vespucci, who offered Floran a position as a follower. Luckily Vespucci took Floran’s rejection in stride and left the offer open to them. I also spoke to Vespucci briefly, shaking his hand before he ordered me a double-shot and a shot of 30gp Hannan, which I gladly took. Iacob entered after our encounter with Vespucci, and after explaining the situation more plainly Iacob granted us access to the lower levels (2 & 3) and went to find us lodging in middle sector below to give us better mobility. We were given more clearance at the risk/cost of Iacob's neck, so we will have to be wholly aware of our actions as we continue with Iacob’s protection. We took a short rest in the tavern as Skamos and I discussed strategies of finding the Paracelsan hideout using Eoifen. When Iacob returned, he gave me a driftglobe from to lead us to our next hideout. In the tunnel we found a coin pouch in the sewage which I was able to fish out and split with the others. As we walked we witnessed a man who's head was cracked against the grate as part of a sort of fight in the streets. Something possessed me to dig through his pockets instead of save him; I guess the environment clouded my judgement. All I could think of is when Kaelyn and I used to do the same as children. We encountered a gaggle of wererats which we dispatched of quickly before finding a place to rest for the night. I took a moment to finally open the pouch I pilfered, and upon examining the contents I regretted my actions, but I couldn't stomach admitting the extent of my atrocities to Floran, who pressed me on the matter before we rested. I honestly mentioned how no answer would sound good, to which Floran agreed. I was as honest as I could be, mentioning how it was an old habit, but not an obsession. We were able to find a hideout to rest in before planning to move on and contact Eoifen.
