Session 21 - Heroes of Vellsten

by Kaito "Oreson" Brinejaw

The cages all have a lock on them within the door mechanism. I ask a Peryton Guard, who's in one of the cages who had the keys and he mentions the blue tiefling, Gorgarian. I run back outside and grab a set of keys from his body and head back. 2 out of the 6 keys are bent, I try to bend them back but they snap, but thankfully the other keys are all that we needed.
 
We're up against it trying to save everyone as the building is very unstable and is collapsing.
 
We asked if any of them were the "Sanguine Girl" Kurash mentioned. Eulen Steek, things that the "Sanguine Girl" was someone Kurash wanted to meet somehow, through the ritual they seemed to be preparing. Eulen's wife Molly was the first person to have disappeared.
 
Ape tells us that Raskin went after Kurash down the trap door he had found.
 
I notice the small boy who is now with his family, has a slight greenish hue to his skin, very reminiscent to myself as a child, likely another Water Genasi.
 
We make our way away from the temple and the fissures by going down some vines into one part of the fissure, and back up another set of vines and make our way back to the tunnel entrance that we took from Vellsten to get here, and set up camp for the night to rest before the long 9 hour trek back to Vellsten.
 
The Water Genasi boy's mother mentioned meeting his father in Groomba Pond, he stayed for a while then left, she then found out she was pregnant with Avan.
 
The scroll I opened, is a rudimentary map of Kasar, with 2 points circled. One area is very close to where we are, south of Vellsten. Another circular spot in the top left in Varleska, across the mountains from Dredgedeep.
 
A Tabaxi comes over, has a mountain lion look to him. Called Dayrin Lane, gave us thanks for helping. If we find ourselves in Kraya, a town in the west in Sansura. Asked us to stop by the Singing Opal shop.
Sorkin, a dwarven man who's based in Hashal, a deep delver who searches for various items and works with Dayrin Lane who sells his items for him. He might be able to help with my search for the Sul'Partha temple...
 
The next morning, I use the spell Create Food and Water to feed the townsfolk. I send a message to Norman Laeve to let him know about the dagger.
 
Minstra Houdine Jumblewood thanked us again with the town and asked us to visit him in the morning for a reward.
 
The festivities of the night party that the Vellsten townsfolk threw for us, having saved them from potential sacrifice. I discussed with Ape our next plans and he agreed with me about my thoughts on where to go next.
 
The next morning, we decide against seeing Minstra Houdine Jumblewood in case he insisted on giving us money for the bounty he had put out.
 
Beneath the corpse in the sarcophagus, is a small hole and some text, which is glowing. The school of magic being given off is conjuration. We burn the corpse, and Malaphor is adamant he wants to keep the sarcophagus which is insane to me.
 
The next morning I send a message to Arcanist Sishan telling him about the sarcophagus and if he wants it. If so meet us in Trentsigrad in 3 days. Arcanist Sishan said he's interested, will send someone, possibly Curtana.
 
We arrive at the location of where the Raven Queen temple should be, but no temple in sight. I walk around looking and as I push through some shrubs, I hit my shin on something, and as I pull away the shrub I notice roofing of a building, seemingly sunken into the swampland. We dig around further, and find a section that has boggy mud going into and as we dig away, we find our way in and see a spiral staircase descending down further into this temple.
