Session X: Questions Unaswered

With their mission completed, the party have some information to return to Baron Oardess. They have also encountered many more questions that have amassed together. Explanations will not show themselves easily, but they have sources they can check for more details. This all comes secondary, however, to the recently unconscious Vermeer. He has been displaying bizarre physical quirks and mental inconsistencies that have confounded the party to no end, atop the confusion surrounding his very presence here. With him tied up, they make their way back to Dullman's rest, in the hopes of getting him to safety and finding some answers.

Session IX: Mystery in Daylight

The party has just encountered and fought of Red Slaadi with the help of Ralken League mercenaries and, however unlikely it seems, a group of cultists. Demeter Tarron steps out from a tent close to the end, raising countless questions. It seems the Ralken League group recognise this cult and had deemed them relatively harmless, however, with the party's additional knowledge, they question whether something sinister is at play.

Session VIII: Blackwater Farms

After being brutalised by a territorial Ankheg, hiding beneath the windmill, the party need rest. They still have a mission to accomplish, however, and once they're satisfied they are back at full strength, that should take priority.

Session VII: The Road not Taken

With new information that Vermeer may be located in Chult, a mythical land told of in folk tales, the party need a way there. Demeter has been spotted recently, her presence offering a plentitude of questions on its own. Along with this, the party still have no idea how the giant frog-like creatures fit into this story, nor why the Troglodytes have acted so strangely recently. With a solid lead much needed, they rest in the Sleeping Dragon Tavern and try to formulate a plan.

Session VI: An Old Friend

The party, unable to save anyone from the caves, return to Rootsreach with treasures, hoping their efforts were not in vain. On this road, Demeter Tarron appeared, busy with her own work, to traumatise the party. The confusion she offered helped none, unsurprisingly. Now they rest in Rootsreach.

Session V: Battle Toads

The strange encounter in the caves has left the party bewildered. Countless questions have risen, far more than have been answered. They do now, however, potentially have the means to afford Lady Lavender's Scrying with the gemstones they found in the cave.

Session III: The Worldshade Caverns

The caves the party were sent to, to gather a fungus for Daniel, have proved far more treacherous than initially thought. Troglodytes guard the cave, warding off the party. A scream was heard from a man deeper in the cave when they were leaving, prompting the party to set up camp outside and rest before delving back in.

Session II: The Search Begins

Demeter's husband, who went missing just a week ago, appeared in town without warning. After a fireball was flung at the party by the presumed shapeshifter, it vanished and ran away. The party visited a mystic woman, Madam Lavender, who suggested they Scry on the creature, or perhaps Demeter's husband. The party, in deliberation over whether they should avail of the service or if they can even afford it, sit in The Sleeping Dragon Tavern, awaiting the return of Daniel Prince.
