Session 81: Crew & Catacombs

General Summary

  Jinn recognized the undead creature as one of Zaahir’s crew. After dispatching the abomination they used the finger it had been snacking on to locate the pirate captain. Hidden in a sarcophagus, the unconscious woman was feverish and barely clinging to life. Although Bart was able to cure her ailments, it was clear that she suffered from a greater affliction. The once gregarious individual resembled a cornered animal, non-verbal and skittish. Knowing there was little they could do for her in the current situation, the group said their farewells and sent the two princesses back to Mas’Uld.   The Dragon Punchers pressed onwards to face the Mara’hids’ captors. Living quarters revealed the complex held many more cultists than initially anticipated. The group captured and interrogated one individual within a makeshift research base. The dragonborn academic confessed that the purpose of this expedition was a massive summoning ritual. The person who hired them, Jaskaran, was deeper within the complex.   The party followed an underwater passage and emerged in a dimly-lit alcove dominated by statues of the same creature Jinn murdered in Tilesía. At the end of a hallway an office held maps, notes, and—perhaps most distressing—a flayed humanoid corpse in a cage.
