Book III | Chapter I | Blights & Frights Report
General Summary
This session began with a combat encounter that started at the end of Book III, Chapter I: The Tunnels Below. As the party prepared for combat, a large splash in the cistern alerted them to the return of Sister Ana, who quickly began fighting something in the western adjoining cavern. The figure in the eastern adjoining cavern conjured a great eel to fight Cass, who had revealed her position in the center of the cistern. With the aid of Silas, the eel was put out of its misery and sunk to the bottom of the cistern, leaving the two humanoid figures in the caves for the party to defeat. After a few quick rounds of combat that resulted in Jack Morning falling unconscious from blight poison, the party was victorious in defeating their enemies.
In a separate part of the cavern, Verst encountered a strange and malevolent woman watching him from the back corner of a room he was hiding in. He attempted to deal some damage to her by using thunderwave to burst out of the barrels and crates he had been hiding behind/in, causing carrots and potatoes to fly across the cavern, a handful making contact with the strange woman. She turned to leave, but as she did she uttered a strange incantation on Verst, cursing him in the process. Verst, desperate to find out what was going on, followed the woman into the shadows of the cavern beyond.
The rest of the party heard Verst's thunderwave during their combat encounter, and began to follow the source of the noise in order to find their lost companion. Eventually, the party met up with Verst in a smaller side-cavern that seemed to have been setup as a makeshift prison, with a cage made of roots and vines that was holding the bodies of Aman'da and Silas Morning, trapped in a state similar to Oliver Revilo when he collapsed in the town hall earlier.
As the party attempted to restore Aman'da and Silas, Sister Ana moved to the far end of the cave, following a strange green-gray glow and a low humming noise. As she rounded a corner, she saw a massive subterranean grove with a large, familiar looking tree at its center. The strange woman that Verst had seen earlier was standing near the tree, and might not have noticed Ana if she hadn't rolled a natural 1 on her stealth check, resulting in Ana unintentionally causing a small number of rocks and stones to slide off of the cave wall she was holding, creating a clambering noise throughout the chamber.
When the strange woman noticed Ana at the corner, she smiled and said in a voice that carried throughout the chamber "If you wish to save them, we will need to make a deal first. Come child, and bring your friends with you. Let us hold court beneath the tree."
