22 - 2/8

With the paladin asleep and minimal guards active, Zelem, Morrigan and Nessali began to put their plan into motion. After slipping away from the camp, Zelem used silence to give Morrigan the opportunity to attack the paladin without alerting the camp. With a single Inflict Wounds she managed to obliterate the paladin with a single amplified spell. With him dead, Zelem used his magic to transform his looks into that of the paladins, and hijacked the cart in an effort to fool the rest into believing he was stealing it. The mercenaries were bewildered by the action, and after securing the gold and reaffirming that they had nothing to do with his flight, the group agreed to return to Saltmarsh in the morning.
With the heist successful, the final journey to Saltmarsh was commenced and Zelem and Morrigan began to catch up with current events. Eda Oweland informed her daughter that in her age was feeling unwell, and Morrigan agreed that she would serve on the council in her mothers stead. Her cousin Robin had purchased a small cottage and wished Morrigan to give her a recommendation to a job she wished to take. Numerous folk requested the groups presence, Copperlocks wanted to meet Morrigan, Fireborn wanted to meet Valor Windsail (zelems alter ego), Ichard Bexley had a somewhat urgent job for Zelem, and Priscilla caught up with Zelem.
Priscilla wished him to aid her in creating a new tower for her purposes, but in order to expedite the creation of it would bind a powerful demon to its walls, and needed the party to protect her during the spellcast. While the idea was crazy, it seemed like it could benefit the group and Zelem seemed to agree to the request.
After receiving numerous missives the pair began to discuss which option to go after first.
