Session 07

General Summary

The party moved on into the next chamber inside the Kopru Ruins. They encountered two hulking ogre zombies there and engaged them in combat. As the fight evolved the combat sprawled into an adjoining room where two undead zombie-like dwarves were stationed. Braken identified these creatures as Spawn of Kyuss, rare undead of a potentially deadly nature. Camero and Gotrek fled in panic at the sight of the evil worms crawling across the flesh of these new comers. The other three took down and destroyed the two ogres easily and then carefully battled the two dwarven undead, having to stop regularly to kill the maggots which lept off the undead and tried to bury into the adventurers skins.   With those four creatures dead Camero and Gotrek returned and the party did a quick search which found nothing of interest. They moved on north to the only uninvestigated area and found a chamber of zombies. Morgan and Braken moved in and turned the zombies, making them retreat to the corners of the chamber. As the rest moved in to destroy the zombies the evil gnoll cleric Tarkilar arrived and joined the fray. He was relatively easily destroyed although three of the party caught a wasting disease off his attacks. He was searched and the last wand was recovered. The party searched his area, found some treasure and then retreated to the safety of the city and the Church of St. Cuthbert.   They noted that there were now half orc guards protecting the tax collectors on the city gates. Was this related to the half orcs they had encountered in Drakthar's Way?   The party were all healed of their various diseases at the Church of St. Cuthbert. The next day Braken helped the High Priestess along with the top priests from the Temple of Kord and the Shrine of Pelor to lower the flood waters with the wands. No one from the Cathedral of Wee Jas came along to help out.   The party continued their dance and etiquette lessons in preparation for the ball.   The party were invited to the town hall to the offices of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and asked to be the faces of the new posters for the soon to be introduced Flood Tax. They agreed and Harley managed to convince the Chancellor that she wanted to go out for dinner with him. The night before the Demonskar Ball came. In the middle of the night there was a huge ruckuss in the middle of the common room. Coming from their beds the party saw a giant boar causing mass destruction in the middle of the room! It was bathed in the light of the full moon coming in through the windows. They all charged down and subdued it and as they finished it off it changed shape into half boar - half dwarf and was recognisable as Gotrek! They calmed the inn keeper and his customers down, paying for damages and leaving money for drinks on them behind the bar. They asked the customers to keep Gotrek's curse under their hats for now.   The next day, the day of the Ball, they took Gotrek to the Church and asked Jenya about his condition. She said it seemed like Lycanthropy but simply wasn't the same as anything she had heard of before. She suggested they need to find a sage to look into it. Vortimax Weer was the most well renowned sage in the city. They then went back to the inn to prepare for the Ball.
