03 - A Zombie Walks In To A Bar...
General Summary
... "Brains, please."
Watcher investigated a disturbance at the Temple of Tezca but learnt little.
Mormout, the owner of The Ashen Lady, visited Erchyll and asked if the Captain (Mitch) was really the same person who had visited the tavern a few days before.
Watcher could not get back in to the tavern, and so entered stasis in an alley outside.
Late at night the Tavern was attacked by the undead Tantos Zendica and Wyvern. The crew saved the life of Mormout's wife, destroyed Tantos and fought off the Wyvern.
Watcher confessed to being involved and suspicious guards took him to a cell for the night.
The next morning the crew invented sandwiches.
With breakfast in hand the crew headed to the top steppe to meet with the Custodian. Watcher was also brought from his cell to the meeting.
The top steppe was a large plaza with many wealthy people and important looking buildings. I forgot to describe the top of the statue that protudes from the centre of the plaza, a large hand clutching an orb. The entrance to the Custodian's office faces this statue.
The crew told the custodian about the amulet, and were told about a powerful undead spellcaster who attacked the Temple of Tezca - Lirimidium.
The custodian did not know the name Xarkon, but did know Kardeplak who is apparently a member of something called the Ananta Fellowship.
The Custodian was unable to help remove the amulet. Instead, he recommended visiting someone called Chittering Elva , East of the city. He asked the crew to tell her that he wanted to call in a favour that she owed him. While there, the crew could ask for help with the amulet. Any business between the crew and Elva would be their own and not involve the Custodian. He was very particular about that.
The Custodian asked the crew to leave the city by nightfall, and not return with the amulet.
Upon returning to The Kren'Sar, the crew found two applicants for the role of boatswain. A tabaxi named Khrumem Dos and an undead human dressed as a pirate. Mitch hired Khrumem Dos.
Mitch reserved a hippogriff for the ship.
The Kren'Sar left soon after and the session ended with the ship anchoring near the mouth of the Daggermotte river. The away party is Mitch, Erchyll, Judge, Watcher, Sindril and Khrumem.
