There's No Place Like Home: Session 8

Well, this "mission" was anti-climatic. Really just walked around and went on a free trip to Kinzokolos. Just for my own memory when I look back on this, the "mission" was not an actual Luminary mission. Just me, helping out Ilelynn as per agreed to like four months ago.
 
The team she assembled was pretty well rounded. Team is of course, Ilelynn, a bit more serious then usual since we were headed to her old home, Glaw with polished plate armor and shields, looks fantastic while not wet but also has a small memory. He forgot that we worked together on a mission. Mushroom memory. Last but not least was Valtr, an old man with a polished breastplate and a hooded cloak. His weapons and tools did seem a bit worn but he seemed experienced. Age does have it's wisdom with it. Oh, and we also have Leo. She was there too.
 
Anyway, we went on a merchant ship not owned by the Luminaries since it wasn't sanctioned. Just a personal trip to the western side of Kinzokolos. From there we ventured inward, arriving at a random temple in a more hilly and wooded area. On the door of this worn grey stone temple was a warning note about "death coming to those who enter" on the front of it or something like that. To enter, Ilelynn cut herself and placed her hand on a bloody hand print on the door. As soon as we entered the doors closed behind us. It was pretty suspicious but not too note worthy.
 
In the center of that first room though there was a beautifully made black stone life like statue of a woman, 12 feet tall in a gothic dress. According to Ilelynn this was the maiden, a being they worshiped. Didn't take her to be the religious type but I guess she is.
 
The inside of the temple was not the most exciting thing. It was the scene of a massacre of knights of Morganwg, specifically the witch hunters, Warriors in heavy Canjian style armor, and black cloaked figures, Ilelynn's dead society. Strangely, the black wearing corpses were decaying less then the knights and warriors. The black robes looked to be dead only for a few months while the knights and warriors looked to be several years along the path of decay. Another strange thing, the black wearing corpses are all races but human. The entire complex was like this. The black robes being slaughtered, barricading themselves in rooms before dying or just falling over in the halls. We found a medallion depicting a third faction, on a black robed infiltrator, but who they were eluded everyone in the party.
 
Ilelynn went further down into the complex through a locked doo in the prayer room and after a few minutes, the entire place started to come apart. Next thing I know this half elf comes running out, yelling at us to run away, and so we did. The front door was open but I didn't question it. Turned around to see the entire place collapse in a heap of rubble in a sink hole. Ilelynn sure has one interesting story.
 
The mission wasn't for nothing though. Leo got a silvered glowing maul with the two headed ax symbol of the Peacekeeper, some human god. Valtr took some cloak covered with eyes and Glaw took a pendent that did something. He seemed pretty excited about it. I got a neat little dagger though. Called the Dagger of Final rest. It apparently prevents healing and it is a nice blade but I can't see myself using this often. It's a nice souvenir though. It's pretty sharp and durable too. Pretty good for wood whittling if I'm honest.
 
Ilelynn during this mission though. This job feels oily and suspicious. A three way alliance between three groups to wipe out one. Traitors within Ilelynns home. The fresh blood on Ilelynn after she came up from the locked room. The religious fever and clear rituals these people were conducting. The fact that Ilelynn is clearly hiding the purpose of her group and warned us to keep quiet about the whole thing is reason to suspect. Well, I guess I could be worse. If I do see her again and I remember I should go ahead and ask.
