Session 07: The Gang Goes Hunting

General Summary

The session begins with the party waking up to a heatwave and spending the day preparing to go investigate the map leading to a mausoleum in the City of the Dead. They also recieve some supplies from Emerald Enclave and The Harpers to help in their endeavours.  

At the Mausoleum

  • After Gwen picks the lock, the party makes their way inside.
  • They notice signs that someone else was here recently such has muddy shoe prints near the door and footprints in the dusty floor leading down the stairs.
  • There is also a faint smell of copper in the air...
  • -After going down the stairs, the party uncovers a murder.
  • Two cultists had been slain, with the third barely alive.
  • After being healed by Madame H, the surviving cultist Vaelle Lurval then reveals the following.
  • The cultits had been tasked with retrieving an intem being delivered here, but two other cultists started attacking them when the package was delivered.
  • Her and her boyfriend were new initiates and were doing this to prove their loyalty.
  • One of the dead cultists is her boyfriend.
  • She wouldn't reveal where the cult was located, only where the two traitors likely fled to with the package; an old windmill in the south ward.
  • Gwen shortly kills her after this, as she would not reveal where the temple was and didn't seem to care if she died.

At the Old Windmill

  • The party quickly crosses the city and makes it to an ancient, decrepit windmill.
  • Inside they find the place is trashed, covered with graffiti and full of squaters.
  • Gwen, of course threatens them.
  • Maisie is able to bribe one to lead them where the cultists are.
  • The squater doesn't let them in but points out which door it is.
  • The party works on opening the door, with Gaerreak loosening the hinges so Kerberos could smash the door apart.
  • They witness a cultist give an object to a spined devil, who then starts flying away with its friends.
  • A fight breaks out resulting in the death of one cultist and one spined devil.
  • Everyone but Kerberos stays back to finish off the surviving cultist.

A Rooftop Chase

  • In hot pursuit the party chases after the spined devils, leading them north towards the Sea Ward.
  • In the process, one of the spinned devils is killed.
  • We have proof Garreak keeps up with his cardio.
  • Masie wild shapped into a panther.
  • Kerberos spooked some birds and got held up even more.
  • Eventually, the spined devil ducks into an alleyway...

In the Alleyway

  • The spinned devil quickly delivers the stone to a carriage that was waiting there before flying back towards the party.
  • Quickly, another fight breaks out.
  • Imps and spinned devils are slain. (Kerberos crushed one to death with his bare hands).
  • The carriage was incapacitated (thanks to Kerberos ramming the wheel, Gwen shooting a fire arrow and Maisie casting spike growth).
  • Eventually the elderly tiefling man dressed like a valet, starts running west and is attempting to leave the alley.
  The session ended with the party ready to chase after the tiefling.
