Session 11: A Hell of a Summer
General Summary
The session begins with Maisie, Kerberos and Gaerreak investigating the dungeon...
Investigating the Temple
- They find a barely lit decrepit dungeon; first entering a hall with a circle of cells.
- Here they investigate the cells, using the ring of keys nailed to a pillar. All but one cell is empty...
- Gwen is missing from the cells, though no sign of struggle can be found.
- Instead the party finds a pile of old bones. The left hand was arranged so a small rock was placed in the center of the palm.
- A card with a mysterious crest on it and a single raven feather is found.
- Maisie realises the crest is on the same card given to her by Julio and decides to investigate later.
- They also hear chanting in the distance and go to investigate. Not before Kerberos tears off a cell door to use as a makeshift shield.
- On a crumbling balcony, the party sees a small gathering worshiping Asmodeus.
- They decided to try and break into Victoro's desk to get more evidence before reaching out to The Harpers for renforcement.
- Before leaving the dungeon, the stone informs Maisie to look for a child with golden hair for the unicorn.
A Series of Rapidly Esculating Events
- Once back in the cellar, the party is confronted by Madame H.
- She curses them out for interfering in her plans to get the Vault for herself.
- She then becomes visibly affraid as it appears that her goddess Beshaba strikes her down dead then and there.
- The party, unsure of what to do, simply dumps the corpse in with the bone cell.
- Using his homonculus Roach, Gaerreak causes a distraction and is able to steal the unicorn stuffie, setting off a chain of events.
- Gaerreak picks the office door lock.
- Kerberos opens the door and runs to yeet the desk out the window.
- The guards take notice so Maisie reacts by dropping a fog cloud.
- Both the Helmed Horror and guards are unable to stop the party, this will negativley impact their performance review!
- The party then books it back to Trollskull Manor.
The Quite Before the Storm
Investigating the Clues
- The desk is smashed open back in the tavern.
- A solid gold holy symbol of Asmodeus and several money lending contracts are found.
- Gaerreak goes to present this evidence to Mirt and seek renforcments to deal with the Cult of Asmodeus.
- Kerberos stays put in the Tavern, collecting himself after all the excitement.
- Maisie investigates the crest, both Vincent Trench and Volothamp Geddarm don't give her new information per say but confirm stuff she most likley already knew.
- This crest does not belong to anyone in Waterdeep or any notable family in Faerûn.
- There have been longstanding rumors of people disapearing (outside the usual causes like enslavement), this may be connected to the Shadowfell.
- Within the Shadowfell there are pockets that are considered so dangerous that even the natives avoid going near them.
She Has Risen Babygirl!
- It sure is amazing what a Feign Death spell can do.
- Anyways, Madame H dusts herself off and resolves to gtfo before things get worse.
- She checks to see if the party went back to the tavern and sees Kerberos is still there.
- Books it over to Mirt but just missed him... so she reports to Renaer Neverember
- Renaer takes her intel, informs that the Cult is a more pressing threat and then the Vault can be delt with.
