session 6 - Hidden Objectives and Roaring Thunder

As i woke up, i noticed Dormund sitting there, still asleep. the others were all there, except for Cassius.
We all had a short conversation about our next steps. heading towards Nichodranos and getting some form of travel was our first priority, besides keeping the beacon safe.
our second objective, well.. my second objective was to bring that priest to justice. Father Ronan had sent a nobleman to his death. full well knowing what would happen and without any consideration for his life. to make matters worse. he is also responsible for many more deaths of the peasants of Nichodranos. Justice will be had. vengenace will be executed.
 
We stepped out of the cavern, and found a young man standing there, scared out of his wits. He held up a stone to his ear, and said we arrived. that we had the object with us and then promptly shot himself in the head with a boomstick.
We found a note on his body. telling Dormund and I to bring the beacon to Zadash and deliver it to The Gentleman. It seems the gods were playing a sick joke, it was time to pay our dues.
 
Without much else to do, we started our travels towards nichodranos. this time, the travel took more time than before. strange magics might be in place in this region.
We traveled and made our way through vines, over a river. one of the nights, during a large thunderstorm, Al'Akir walked into the darkness and we didnt see him till we found him unconcious on the ground. he didnt say much, only that he had failed whatever challenge was laid before him.
 
We eventually made our way to the city, and i decided we should head to a fancy Inn, some place with a bath. It would also offer more security for the beacon.
That night, we decided to head to the church, as Talis had fallen ill. conventional healing magic didnt do much.. so we hoped to trick Ronan into helping us before he met his fate.
A young man opened the church doors, and told us Ronan was gone. he had left, and left the church behind. The young man gave Talis some potions, hoping they would help. but couldnt help beyond that.
 
It was late, so we did not have a choice but to rest and take care of the disease that had befallen Talis come morning.
 
Before heading to bed, i decided to cast Sending to speak to Father Ronan. I told him he could run.. but his fate was set in stone.
He replied he would await us at 'the evening nip'. The hiding hole of the Gentleman.. This complicates things dearly.
