Session 13
General Summary
Tucked away in the rafters of the theater, Rani awoke before dawn still feeling somewhat lackluster. She and the swarms made their way to one of the backrooms where they spent the early hours of the morning painting a backdrop, a stormy setting for the play. Marigold appeared shortly after dawn and after getting over her initial shock and Rani somehow being there, she was immediately enamored and over the moon that the swarms had painted. It seems they needed a new backdrop to replace the recently damaged one...
Sidon – ignorant of the moral dilemma the party recently faced – enjoyed a morning feast as he perused the fish market.
The Widow woke up and, happy to still have his shoes, began making his way across the city.
Newt and Moira both decided that they needed to urgently send some messages in light of something Diavolo said. The two reunited with The Widow outside the Temple and upon entering, they encountered Portia speaking with a human man escorting a smaller, hooded figure. Oksha Ah'Shal, is a young, blind yuan ti acolyte of Ah'Shal. She's been assigned to the region of Varoona and is inspecting the city proper to ensure that all funeral and death rites are up to "code".
The Widow insisted that friends makes shotgun shells together and asked Erwin to come with him to Chaos Reigns. Hopefully, they can utilize Old Vith's forge.
Newt and Moira reunited with Rani, going to speak with Oksha. The young acolyte claimed to not only see the spirits of the dead, but the spirits of the damned clinging to Newt. She seemed enamored by the swarm, hearing them flutter around and "shaking" their hand. She seemed delighted to meet the trio and seeming willing to meet with Newt some time in the near future.
The Widow attempted to schedule the demolition of sacred property - the "incorrect" statue of Therarask in the main hall - to a very tired High Priestess. Upon yelling loudly in the main room, one priestess swiftly banished him, waving at Portia. The rest of the party enjoyed a full minute of silence, void of drunken ramblings.
After camping in Chaos Reigns for an hour, the party met "Old" Vith, a rather striking lizardfolk who hardly seemed old at all. He appraised multiple crafting requests, intrigued by the Widow's dagger and mildly impressed with Rani's swords. However, he declined the request to make shotgun shells as that is a tedious mundane task that is quite beneath his level of arcane craftsmanship. He seemed amused by the request to use his forge. Vith almost never leaves his forge.
Newt spoke with Callon regarding dinner with his mother, Lady Von'Della. Callon advised Newt wait until his mother has had at least one glass of wine before he begins asking the difficult questions. It seems Callon has been avoiding asking his mother, as he doesn't want to sour their relationship. He's the only family she has left, after all.
On this session of "Therapy", The Widow learned that Therarask's favorite color is pink (for now...) and that the god of devotion HAS, in fact, been in love before. Therarask, in turn, asked to know what other race The Widow would want to be and if The Widow believed in past lives. Meanwhile, Moira watched a familiar face meet with a silver dragonborn dressed in rippling robes and surrounded by stars. She was given a lesson on fate, while watching blood drip from her own lips over a human limb. It seems guidance is premature.
Shaken by the dream, Moira immediately went to speak to Rani. Moira asked Rani to make sure it's quick, should things progress badly...
The Deep End successfully managed to track down and kill some Sea Cows... I mean blood cows... or blood crawlers and sold the parts to Chaos Reigns and the fish market before booking it over to Dragolée.
The party was escorted to their table while Moira was escorted to the kitchen. Before entering, she promptly recalled that she didn't remember the chef's name. It seems she's been tasked with making a 5 course meal – appetizer, soup or salad, pasta, entrée, and dessert – with each course featuring ampeel meat... even dessert.
Missions/Quests Completed
After another round of monster hunting, The Deep End has successfully gathered the ingredients requested by Four from the Blood Crawlers (See Cows? Blood Cows?): 20 fangs and 5 dorsal eyes.
