Session 10: A city in perill Report

General Summary

The party stands in the grand halls of Moradin looking out at the expanse of dwarven mazelike tunnels and bridges. Whilst deciding what to do they are approached by Gamdring Firebrod. Firebrod tries to talk the party in to meeting with him privately, but the party declines. Aaliyah notices that her headaches get worse when in proximity to Firebrod. Ven starting to panic due to their current tense situation tries to find a church so they can remove the curses from Krom and Aaliyah. Finally managing to find the church Krom begins to feel the urge to feast once more. The overwhelming smell of food and dwarven musk starts to take its toll. Her willpower stands strong and Krom kontrols her urges for now. They arrive at a local cathedral where they urgently ask the priests for help, but before they can react to the news, Krom looses control and transformes into her beastly self. The priest makes quick work of Krom and the head priestess (Helna) manages to start removing the Curse. During the seven hour ritual of pain and misery the rest of the party discusses the current problems in Dwalinstad with a local female Priest Serra. Aaliyah confides in the priest revealing her suspicion about The Order having managed to take control of Dwalinstad, but the priest seems to be more worried about Aaliyahs mental health. After the ritual Krom is left weak and fragile. Helna then starts to work on Aaliyah whilst the rest of the party waits. After finishing the torturous ritual Aaliyah is also left hurt and maimed. With their falming health and the quickly darkening political climate of Dwalinstad the party takes refuge in the church interior. They awake to Gamdrings intense stare. He invites himself to talk to the party without their behest. He tries to convince the party that they have a shared goal when it comes to Dwalinstads isolationist ideals. the party mostly spooked, especially Aaliyah who still has sudden and painful headaches whilst being close to Firebrod, declines his offer of lodging and cooperation. Aaliyah asks Helna to help her find out if there is something wrong with her brain. Helna starts to ask questions
1: Is the something wrong with Aaliyahs brain? The flames billow and the answer is yes 2: Is Aaliyah being watched? the flames billow and the answer is yes. Helna suddenly clutches Aaliyahs head and asks the last question without consulting with Aaliyah 3: Is she trustworthy? The flames billow and the answer is yes.
Realizing these facts, Helna tells Aaliyah that both her and the party should leave the church whilst giving her a paniced gaze. The party leaves for The Blazing Sun Tavern where they try to get in contact with Marull who they were supposed to meet the night before. After mentioning The Broken Valor to the bartender he quickly darkenes the mood and after a quick exchange, he asks the party to leave. With no allies around, Aaliyahs continuous headaches and no idea how to fix their current situation, they set for the moutnains once more. Whilst on their way towards the entrance they are approached by Firebrod that explains how saddened he is for their departure. without a second of doubt they walk forth, open the doors and leave Dwalinstad behind them.
