Session 27

General Summary

Lorelei & Marty start burying the soul coins. Party head back to Mosston
Follow the map backwards. Yva's Oak now has a number of strange fey creatures feasting on a wolf. Madoc's Fist next to Madoc's Spear is lit up with blue flames on the candles.
On the way back from the Spear, the party hear tapping coming from the mirrow which then escalates to thumping before Wisk looks under the cover. The party is plunged into darkness before it lifts finding two wisks who both try to convince the party that they're the OG wisk. Not-Wisk downs Wisk several times during ensuing fight before eventually being slain and getting sucked back into the mirror.
Party get back to Mosston and Lorelei slips a guardsman a copper to stop him asking too many questions about them coming into town in the early hours of the morning, battered and with a load of artefacts. Felix gets rooms booked at Raph's Hall whilst Lorelei goes to the House of Enlightenment to find a priest to remove the curse of aging on her. She convinces a nightswatchmen to take her direct to Frederick Cromwell.
Cromwell casts remove curse, offers them a drink of brandy, introduces himself and then tells them to go away so he can go back to sleep. Remove Curse completed. Paid with Onyx Stone.
Party goes back to Raph's Hall for rest.
Next day head to Nubrix’s Exotic Collections with Janessa Offizi. Janessa talks bitterly with Nubrix about how Hemmings and Koltr left her in the Barrow. Nubrix tells her that they'd told him that she'd run off with a labourer and that if he'd known he'd have made it a matter of far more urgency to get someone to the Barrow to help her. They agree to discuss things further in private. Nubrix then talks with the party about their findings. Party reveal the following to him;

1. Notes / Journals of expedition leaders
2. Charcoal Rubbings
3. 14 emeralds
4. pouch of blank soul silver coins
5. 11 funerary urns - carnet says should be 12
6. Offizi
7. dwarven silver (separate to the main deal but Nubrix has expressed an interest in them)

Party agrees to leave items with Nubrix until the appraiser returns from Boroshk in the Imperium in about a week and a half.

Party then heads out towards Caer Cîafran to resurrect Carter Atercyne. Atercyne's body has been dressed with some simple clothes by the guards and given some new boots.
Party camp out about a half day from Caer Cîafran and during the night, Wisk notices a number of horsemen heading west along the road passed Brakspring and towards Akehill before cutting right and heading north into the Arborwilds. In the morning, Wisk informs the party of this, they mention that hopefully it was just guardsman / soldiers.
Party reaches Caer Cîafran and beelines for the House of the Nine where they meet with Anata Rosidhe who informs them that the woman they fought and killed from the cult when they were last in the city's body has disappeared mysteriously. They then begin the ritual to resurrect Carter. The ritual fails twice before they start looking for other explanations, eventually checking for injury and finding that the tip of his little toe on his left food has been removed after he died, prompting Anata to ask if they were the only ones with access to the body. Only others that they know of were Mosston town guards. Seems as though either Carter's spirit is beyond reach or he has already been resurrected by someone else. Anata asks what she should do with the body and is asked to continue to use Gentle Repose on it and also if they can store the mysterious bronze mirror with it - she reluctantly agrees and whilst she doesn't recognise the symbol of thenon on an amulet that Felix shows her, or the brand seared into the flesh of the doppelganger that Felix had cut out, she makes a drawing of them and promises to investigate with her and Felix's 'mutual friends'.
