Resolution

by Priestess Robin Weiss

Priestess Sophia had some official business with Mayor Davy this morning. Mister Clem and I accompanied her. The others seemed to have other business to tend to, and so we were the only ones to attend this meeting. The Tiefling woman we had met the night before was apparently the Mayor’s secretary, and as such we were able to meet with him without delay. The Mayor was quite hospitable, though it is my experience that most are friendly in the face of representatives of The Holy Zygallic Church.
 
A boy who we had crossed paths with the previous day was apparently none other than Mister Elmar Kin Davy, son to the Mayor. He spoke highly of us as well. Priestess Sophia spoke to the Mayor about her mission, presumably the main purpose of the visit, before we informed the Mayor of the precise goings on of the prior night. He was, justifiably, ill at ease at the news of such criminal activity within his city. We gleaned some useful information from the number of individuals we spoke with at the city hall: a possible location of a second warehouse of our mystery substance, and potentially a paper trail to follow.
 
With this information, the three of us bade the Mayor farewell and made our way back to the Bitter Salt to reconvene with Mister Malopher and inform him of the goings on of the meeting. From there, we left to meet with Miss Stonetell and Mister Marlowe, who had apparently apprehended a fugitive and were bringing him to the guards. We met Miss Stonetell halfway, as she was on her way to fetch us. She led us to the guards’ headquarters, which seemed to be recovering from some chaos. We were, to some extent, briefed on the situation. We also took this opportunity to provide the evidence we had found to Captain Shaotan. Priestess Sophia and I shared our lead with the others, and secured some reinforcements, in the event that violence were to ensue during the inevitable raid on the facility.
 
With our meeting with Captain Shaotan and his associates concluded, Mister Malopher and I broke from the others in order to revisit the monastery. There, I produced the blasphemous material that we had discovered last night. Mister Malopher was able to translate it for Bishop Da’Koga, who then relieved us of both scripts and allowed us to gather supplies from the monastery’s stores. Mister Malopher used the opportunity to acquire some supplies he apparently has use of.
 
Mister Malopher and I met with the others, and we made our way to the suspected second warehouse. It was there that I calmly reminded the party that we had agreed to rendezvous with an outside associate later in the day, but they decided to press onward and I reluctantly followed. It was there that we saw a sight most unexpected. It appeared as though someone had attempted a summons in a hidden room beneath the building. As a group, we exorcised the foul energy from the compartment, but a trap had apparently been placed upon it, as oozes emerged from chambers immediately after the fell magic’s disruption.
 
With no means of effectively combating them, we fled into the daylight. The oozes followed, but retreated into the abandoned building which sat above their former home. Mister Marlowe and Miss Stonetell agreed to keep watch on the site whilst the rest of us sought our reinforcements. In time, we found them, but apparently something had happened to gather the attention of the locals. The city guard was there to keep the perimeter clear and we were allowed to take our associates into the decrepit building to exterminate the creatures. With formidable allies and proper provisions, we made short work of the creatures.
 
Though it could be said that we all escaped the incident with our health and we made Alluminos a safer place in the process, I tire of such conflict. I tire of it in most any conceivable way. When we returned to the Bitter Salt, we did so to a dinner of steak and potatoes. Priestess Sophia was so utterly exhausted by the affair that she opted not to join us. I can not hold such a thing against her. I sat with the others for dinner, but none of us had words to speak. We soon retired. A bed has never so loudly called for me than that night. In fact, I could not even bother to write this entry until the following day, after I had some time to collect myself.
