PW7 - Is This Cannibalism?

General Summary

The Dungeon

After defeating the Grippli, The Party attempted to interrogate their leader. He proved incoherent, even in his own language. They searched the rest of the cave, fighting three water weirds in the process. They found two vials of poison and a +1 Lance on the Grippli leader, Pemma's mechanical arm and an enlarged chime of opening in the water, and a giant quartz necklace in the dungeon's final chamber.

The Ruins

When they emerged from the dungeon, the party surveyed the ruins. Nyssa found a horn that didn't make any noise when she blew it. The party quickly retreated, suspecting they'd just given their location away. On the way back to camp, they ran into four fiends that Sandy was able to lead away with his speed.

Pemma's Information

By withholding her mechanical arm, the party encouraged Pemma Harrody to share what she knew about the Deviltongue Brutes under a truth spell. She confirmed what they already knew about their numbers and the fact that the Rakshasa aren't always there. She told them that their base of operations is a wooden fort placed on stilts to keep it above the swamp. Her drawing showed a triangular structure with arrow slits sitting about 15 feet off the ground. The fort is warded with illusion magic that prevents it from being seen from the outside, and it is located in a particularly treacherous area of swamp that requires the Brutes to teleport in and out. Pemma has only seen them do this once a day. An orange flag marks a section of raised ground near the fort, allowing it to be easily found by those who know its approximate location.

Return to Camp

The party turns their Frogfolk captives over to Zaluoh, who says they will be taken to the civilian camp during their next supply run in a few days. The party decides their next move should be to travel to Ramanthas.
