Session 22: Loss Beneath Old Town

General Summary

The party, having lost Davrilindil, set out exploring leads in The Twin Cities for his location or those who might have help him escape. In the midst of their search, the party split up. Half were led to a small shanty shop, Rust and Wares, run by an aging goblin named Scarf and his kenku assistant, Jeff. They traded with Scarf and paid for passage back into New Town through the sewers.
Meanwhile, the other half made their way to the local prison to interview Jenny, a young gnomish woman who had been convicted of murdering her husband. Through a series of escapades -- including the escape of a large ogrish individual as a distraction -- the group helped Jenny escape. She shared what she could about the strange dreams she and her husband had been having, including an incredible stench and a droning buzzing sound. All her dreams ended with her approaching the Temple of Many Gods -- a religious marketplace of sorts built in a part of the Talmuni ruins assumed religious in nature.
The two groups met up before sneaking back over into New Town under the guidance of Jeff. Managing to escape two gelatinous cubes used to clean the New Town sewers, the group did some shopping and excursions before heading back into Old Town in time for dusk.
After some discussion, the decision was made to sneak their way into the Temple of Many Gods. They noticed a suspicious booth and found a secret door at its back. Following the hidden stairway down further into the ruins, the group found their way into some sort of storage room, where a voice shouted warnings of alarm in abyssal. Suddenly, two chasmes shot down from the rafters, their drones sending some of the party into a mystical slumber. The party beat back the demonic advance, but not before Rolen Sha-tae was stabbed by the proboscis of one of the large fly-like beings, the life drained from his body. Injured and shell-shocked from their loss, the party was left with a decision to make: push forward or regroup and miss their opportunity to find Davrilindil?
