Session 5: Nyssa's Story Report

General Summary

Nyssa had a few things she wanted to explain to the party, and the Crone did not disappoint. The party discovered the origins of the Elven Purge lay at the feet of an evil dragon goddess names Shayna. She told the story of Shayna's Tantrum, referring to Shayna's Rift as if it had just happened....but when asked, the event must have happened tens of thousands of years before the impact that nearly destroyed all life on Tellus.
Setting off, our friends had a couple of adventures upon the road, but once they entered the caves and caverns beneath Greendell Valley, their sense of dread began to rise. Fighting creatures that look humanoid, but seemingly are made of dead, twisted vines and various fungal growths. Defeating the The Necrodruid's minion, our fine fellowship had an interesting conversation with a chap who turned out to be a Cambion, of some great and powerful fiend. Powerful enough to grant wishes, should the party succeed in killing Galbrok, and his advisor and confidante, a dragonborn Paladin of Shayna named Uthooplig Islapo.  After ascertaining, to the best of their ability, that the devil's deal would be fair and that no trickery was involved. The Cambion declared several times how the favor to his 'employer' would be so great, that no other payment would be necessary.
Of course, being the intelligent and well rounded individuals that they are, they asked why this Cambion's Great and Powerful employer did not simply handle it himself. This led to a philosophical discussion, and more of an explanation of the term 'Weavewalkers', which they had come across before.
Using the incredible and magical ewer left behind by the Cambion, Scott  (now Shae) assumed a gaseous form in order to scout ahead. What she did find was very unsettling; she found two of The Galbrok Tamarinds filling an immense natural cavern underneath Mount Aelfwine, seeing them for what they really are, and wondering how many of them there can possibly be...how long has Galbrok been doing this?

Rewards Granted

In a room full of discarded clothes, wedding rings, gold fillings, and other personal items, a suit of studded leather armour bearing the Seal of the The Circle of Life, was discovered; 

The Armor of the Beast costs between 26,174 and 26,176 gp. If you have the wild shape class feature, it functions as a piece of wild studded leather armor with an enhancement bonus of between +0 and +2, which grants you between two and zero additional use of wild shape per day. This extra use stacks with the one provided by a druid's vestment.

Notes

There was some disagreement in the ranks about what to do with loot (ie: Graverobbing) and how to handle an unknown type of phosphorescent mold that sticks to anything it touches.
