Session 7: Un-shrouded Serpent!

General Summary

Explored the catacombs under the Silverbrook temple
found a Nothic
stared at whistle then Valen
realised it liked magic
gave it the Magic pole and the Ball of Green goo and left it to it
Valen and Fin were quite stompy
went back to the bandit store and found a prisoner
an elven merchant named Eldan Amberflow
he is from the mountain elf city in the north east and was coming to trade with Westharbor when he got accosted by The Shrouded Serpent.
headed on to the shrouded base under The Smiling Orc
saw a half-eaten crocodile
and much destruction
at least 8 bodies completely eviscerated by the troll in the main area
went on to the secure room and found The Shrouded Serpent and 4 of his best men
Poppy found her charm was able to completely control the shrouded serpent
2 of his men went to find Derek who poppy blamed for the mess
fought the bandits and the serpent realised what was happening
he hid in his vault while you dealt with his goons
valen blew up the door
finn was knocked unconscious and Whistlestick managed to entrap the serpent in a thunderous embrace before he succumbed to his many wounds.
Wene Boley led the Town Guard to the base.
you learnt the backstory to The Shrouded Serpent
he was a trainee at the Temple of the Light, but became disillusioned
He had gotten away with building up his gang until the late lord chancellor Roland found him entering the tunnels through the temple catacombs

Final straw and that meant that the guards were out for him and the info Boley (and Vex were able to share led to their capture
Guards take everything, almost! found a small leather and paper note book in the serpents pocket.
found a secret hidden treasure stash

Thank goodness you are ok, that Derek guy released a Troll in the Dungeon, you best go sort him out!
