Session Summary
- Session begins after the fight with The Coven of the Maw
- Hag bodies are disintegrating into a fungal, evaporating good
- Hag bodies are also leaking a green fluid, spelling out runes on the top of our boat (Curse of Conflagration?? AAaaAAaaaaaaaaAah FIRE!!)
- Take a long rest
- Heading out of the maw, we see a big barrier to ships (nets and chains preventing passage). Montez informs us that itās a toll station set up by pirates - so basically extortion.
- The toll station flies the flag of Lāombra Profonda (The Tartuffo Family)
- The toll station is The Teeth
- The piratesā price is 4500 gold, or some of the gear on the boat
- Jeraime, with a total roll of 35, gets the price down to 3500 if Jeraime sleeps with them (Gnorgy)
- While Jeraime has many guards occupied in the Gnorgy, Gino and Hen are turned invisible to do some sneaking around
- First, the two head to the bastion to try to find some sort of shipping manifest
- They find a manifest detailing ~5600 gold plus the 3500 they added
- They find a paper detailing vessels, and their shipment dates
- They find a letter from Vico questioning about a vessel that is not on the above list (The Red Vessel)
- They find a number of other old papers requesting information about items and stuff, and some assassination contracts (fulfilled, with a Black Rose stamp Isabella), and a bounty request for Gino
- Most of the cages are shipped to Sanstrelli, but some are shipped to Carcosa
- Next, they check some of the crates
- Vessels in the crates, one has a flesh tube that shocks and the other has a necrotic beetle thing
- Next, they check some of the tents
- Find a diamond and a note that one of the workers at The Teeth owes money to a person at The Washout
- Lastly, they check the warehouse
- They find a large, locked coffer and an intricate and strange, intricately carved lockbox
- They grab the lockbox, and pocket all of the gold in the coffer
- First, the two head to the bastion to try to find some sort of shipping manifest
- Everyone rejoins at The Second Sunset and splits the spoils; Jeraime has 2 informants now
- The Blackstars set sail for the middle sea
- While sailing, Etron opens the locked box
- Etron keels over and dies, under the effect of Power Word Kill
- While his soul is torn from his body, Etron hears a cackling laughter
- He is revived by Phari, and fails his ādead saveā
- Now that the bound spell has been used up, Gino can safely pick the lock
- Inside is the Chisel of Binding
- Etron keels over and dies, under the effect of Power Word Kill
- Take a long rest, then an uneventful day of sailing
- Sail through the night with the help of Etronās skeleton crew
- During his watch, Etron speaks to Molescere through Etronās Necklace to strike some sort of a deal
- Molescere agrees to sign Etronās Contract
- Eventually make it to Pillartown
- All of the wharfs are a huge ripoff
- The last place we find offers us 1750 to use RatPackās Wharf, manned by rats
- Upon seeing our weapons, they offer us a job that would discount the wharf to 100
- The job is to hunt down his old employee that stole some stuff, who headed south on a boat called The Last Gamble
