Session 106: When Last We Met 12/8/24
General Summary
When last we met, The party had just brought down 2 creatures known as Aboleths. Aberrations hailing from the Far Realm. After the battle however, Vandread succumbed to their infectious disease and found he could no longer breathe air and was urged underwater by Mistral.
Vandread ducks his head beneath the water and is able to breathe normally for the time being. Sebastian reluctantly relays to the party that this is an unfortunate side effect of fighting Aboleths. Vandread then consumes his final dose of Keoghtom's ointment and cures himself of the disease ailing him. The rest of the city council will wear off the side effects after about 3 hours. Ukko applies 3 spells to remove the disease from three of the city council members. They thank the party profusely and tell them of a being that seemed to be a hive mind of worms came into the chamber and created all this havoc.
The party inquires with Sebastian if this is some demon from the Abyss he would know about. But He laments that this creature is probably from the Far Realm and his motives and physical composition are unknowable for the time being.
The party sit in vigil for the rest of the occupants of the building to shake the effects of the Aboleths and make sure they are all safe before departing. Mistral clears the building of its water build up and the city council adjourn any meetings or business until the following day.
From there the party decide they should check in on Lady Mastokov in Volgot. Sebastian relays that he has the airship stored at the Abraxios academy and they can use that to float their way over to the other continent. The party likes this plan but decides to check in on the town of Birchnod to make sure they are still well, check on The Thorn's Nook Inn, their business venture, And clear out Hagswood once and for all of it's blighted fey problem.
They accompany sebastian via teleportation circle back to the Abraxios academy. They leave him with Hakim and the Muharib to make preparations to fly in the airship. From there they leave the academy and then check in on Dainarv to sell off some of their goods and inquire on what he has. They conduct their business and head out on mechanical horseback toward the Town of Birchnod. A day of travel later and they find themselves in the sleepy little hamlet. They stow their horses and enter the Thorn's Nook to happy smiles and warm welcomes.
Rebecca tells the party the inn has operated at a bit of a loss over the past couple of months and the party front 300gp to cover the maintenance costs. She still says that lodging and drinks are on the house for all the good they've done for the town and for her.
After that their halfling buddy Flint joins the party for a round of drinks and a bit of a pissing contest over hunting trophies, which the group easily wins with the Horns of Baphomet. The party tell Flint their intention is to go hunting in the Hagswood and rid it of all the nasty things that make their home there. Flint enthusiastically agrees and the group form a strategy for Moving through the cursed wood.
And that's where we'll pick up next time1Rewards Granted
