General Summary

10/2/896

• The party regroups in Jupiter
• Adam’s been helping a small village with a pirate problem
• He got some gold out of it!
• Now the question is: how are they going do deal with High Priest Yoho?
• Veridan says they should set up Yoho in a scandalous situation
• Amara still has that Sunken God spear
• Maybe they can make it look like he’s working with Sunken God?
• The party does some dirt-digging first
• They meet with Priest Clawson, one of Yoho’s underlings
• He has connections to the Characters
• But he’s got nothing on Yoho
• He’s ready to replace Yoho if they get the chance though
• Next the party goes to Tallahassee’s, a restaurant built inside a ship on Oridelfa's docks
• Rich people like to stay here while going through Oridelfa
• Veridan puts on great show, gets party in for free
• They meet Balasar, one of Yoho’s old adventuring partners
• He tells them about some of his war stories, nothing too incriminating
• Party thanks Balasar for drinks then leaves
• The next day the party starts setting their plan in motion
• Garrison of Elflands guards is to be dispatched to Oridelfa in a few days, so now things have to be rushed
• Party talks up an upcoming mass held by High Priest Yoho, convinces enough people that it’s going to be a big one

• Next stop, Temple of Seevo
• Yoho’s got a couple guards around him, but the party manages to get him alone in office
• Yoho agrees to disenchant the Sunken God spear
• Amara gets him thinking Elflands ruling class is involved with Sunken God
• Party heads down to basement reserved for rituals
• The ritual starts out ok, but then Sunken God shows up
• He doesn’t like being trifled with
• Veridan goes and alerts guards
• An explosion throws everybody against basement walls
• In the fallout the shell-shocked guards put Yoho under house arrest
• Elflands guards suspicious of Sunken God connection
• They confiscate the spear
• Outraged, he insists on giving his sermon that night
• The crowds are already moving into the Temple of Seevo
• It’s a full house
• So Yoho gives a fire-and-brimstone speech

• Calls them morally corrupt, fraternizing with Sunken God
• The crowd is riled up, starts protesting in the streets
• The guards, unsure what to do, try to stay nonviolent
• Caught off-guard by kuo-toa resistance
• The revolution has begun
• Later that night Yoho meets with Cassandra

• Suddenly, a crash from outside
• A band of elven riders are massacring civilians!
