Imposters and Spores Report
General Summary
Ishlav Continued (2021-09-04)
Took Harold (surgeon) and Marjorie (his daughter) back to the obelisk base, did all the recovery rolls. Had Harold undo his surgery on the fake Wilhelm, which revealed a monk named Cormack Erikson (sp?). Got info out of Cormack (forgot what precisely), still kept as prisoner for now. Harold did Surgery on Yfra to make her look like Wilhelm, so it would be easier to trick remaining imposters.
Teleported back to central city area so Wilhelm (Yfra) could ask where Zuri Buccheri (another imposterized person, 2nd in command of all city guard) lives. They live relatively close, so people were weirded out that he didn’t know. Went to her house and found many plain clothes guard types hanging around. Knocked on her door and said we urgently need to speak with her, she wasn’t home though person indicated she was currently at guard station.
Went to city guard station and the sight of our group immediately raised suspicion of people inside building and Zuri came to speak with us immediately. Managed to persuade her to talk with all of us in an interrogation room on her own. Once in the room, all but Hamilcar teleported back to the obelisk to capture Zuri. Hamilcar stayed behind to guard the door. He passed a check, so we weren’t discovered as having kidnapped Zuri. At the obelisk, Harold undid Zuri’s surgery and revealed yet another monk. After threatening her she gave us the addresses of the homes of the rest of the imposters. While we were threatening fake Zuri (I don’t think we got this monk’s name), Fira underwent surgery to look like Zuri. Teleported back to the interrogation room (had been gone 2hrs ish). Learned from Hamilcar that there are 10 council members, so it’s possible that 3 may not be compromised. Hamilcar knows someone (forgot to write down name) higher up in city guard who can be trusted to tell the king about the shady monks.
We realized we forgot to loot the sewer base (where we killed the head monk jerk, Kolos), so we went back there and found 4 cyphers, evidence to prove the whole plot (which would have saved us so much time if we’d done this first haha), and info confirming that Kolos was the head of this plot (so we didn’t have to worry about him having a boss/cohorts that needed to be hunted down). We also found info about a lower level, below the sewer, of old city ruins upon which Ishlav was built and we went to go explore that.
In the sub-sewer level, we came across some weird rodent things we didn’t really investigate (they acted harmless, but did have their own markers on the map), also came across a jelly creature (lvl4) and a fungus creature (lvl 6). Fira failed a defense check against the fungus’ spore cloud, so she has a status effect she needs to roll defense checks on (rolled once so far), she has disadvantage on int and something else (Bichael knows). Other party members can’t yet see anything visibly wrong with her. Also, Fira has a sample of the lvl 6 spores, they contain unusual chemical compounds. We found an ancient, functioning generator (in rough shape) that powers something else in the complex, we can probably find it if we follow the buzzing noise of the conduits (can’t see them, only hear).
Reminder for next session: Yfra still looks like Wilhelm and Fira still looks like Zuri; in the obelisk we still have fake Zuri and fake Wilhelm as prisoners, and Harold and Marjorie as guests needing relocation.
