Session 28

General Summary

27th of Julista

The party burst through the door in haste of the Selunite Sanctum to save the Shar girl from whatever terrible ritual was transpiring. In the large room they found the girl bound to an altar, surrounded by meditating sycophants. A large knight towered in the back; and upon seeing the heroes; seemingly absorbed the spirits of its followers. A battle then ensued. Dirt made a beeline to the girl, removing her binds, and dragged her to safety; while the other two kept the large knight and its summons busy. It was a tough fight, as the party's attacks struggled to pierce the magical defenses of the Knight. However brute force and stubborn commitment to big numbers started to make an impact. Eventually, the Shar disciple figured out the moonlight was empowering the Knight and cast a darkness spell snuffing it out. This allowed the party the chance to strike down the Knight for good. Although the Selune Priestess asked the party to "destroy everything"; Dirt convinced the others it was best to leave the incapacitated zealots alone and head back to town. Balthazar found a book for esoteric magical formulas and glyphs. They were not normal. However, they did remind him of the ones he had seen in the crazed, incoherent ramblings of Theo Hardie’s journal. Back in the Pruessmount the two priestess thanked the party for their deed, and returned to their temples.
Since it was still dark; Sandro headed over to the address requested of him. There he meet Prisetta , a disciple of Talista, The Nemesis Justicar. She was to help Sandro obtain his gift- retribution against Oruko Setsaki . She explained he would soon be arriving at a Teahouse outside Pruessmount, and that is when they will strike. She briefly went over the plan, and told Sandro to prepare.
The party awoke the next day to find Embry Reusswald and a bunch of barristers holding a meeting in their living room. It was finally time for the party to provide details of what they found and experienced in the Glucksmort Mounds during the quest to support the College of Wuhrmount. After going over the details they found out the hearing would be held in Lugencroft two weeks from today, and that they are being asked to provide a testimony. While the barristers left, Embry lingered behind to thank the party for the good deeds in town, and asked the party to swing by the palace as soon as they were able.
The party split up and spent the day in town following leads. While Sandro and Dirt scouted out the Teahouse, Balthazar had gotten a note from Tithie [his former crew member] that he had some urgent info regarding Falstagg . At the location Balthazar found the dead and mutilated body of Tithie. A note pinned to his body from Falstagg told Balthazar to not interfere with his plans again.
