Under the Temple in Bad Doric

In the unhallowed spring water, Kira finds a bound shadowfell (shadow elemental) - likely source of the corruption.

At Camp, near Bad Doric

Lepett is suffering from the rot.

We return back to the Lazaretto, and kill some goblins on the way.

Lazaretto

[[Bikke]] is still in the infirmary.

We show Mother Verduna the Order of Hospitalers Journals and ask about [[Viola Laguna]].

Under The Temple in Bad Doric

After taking Amelia back to Lepett and resting, we returned to Bad Doric the next day. Evidence suggested that the White Skull had used the town, not the temple, as a temporary camp. Kira, curious about the springs in the temple, transformed into a fish to explore the water. She discovered a bound shadow elemental from the Shadowfell, likely the source of the corruption. The creature seemed to be fed through the well, possibly via herbs or other offerings, and was immobile, indicating it was bound.

Last time

After taking Amelia back to Lepett and taking a long rest, the party returned to Bad Doric the next day. There’s evidence that the white skull have mostly used the town, not the temple, and it isn’t indicative of a permanent camp. Rather, it’s a place they stay a few days and leave.

Kira decided to explore the springs in the temple, so she transformed into a fish to explore the spring and see where it goes. Under the water, she discovered some sort of shadow elemental, something from Shadowfel. Her guess is that the elemental was being fed through the well, perhaps via herbs or other offerings. The creature is also immobile, so it must be bound somehow.

Returning to Port Maraisa

This section derived from group chat, with retcons in session.

DM summarizes the situation based on what he sees as your interests:

• Orcs: You know the remains of White Skull (including their Laguna-kin shamans) are at a fort in the Omlarandin Mountains, and though you don’t know where exactly it is you have reason to believe it would be easy to back-track from Bad Doric. The Orcs are known slavers and raiders with some sort of connection to Albrecht, but not an immediate threat to Port Maraisa or Aurelian.
• Riatavin: You also know Albrecht’s target was Etienne Auttencort, who is in Riatavin. Etienne has an interest in chattel slavery which connects him to the White Skull. He doesn’t seem like a shining pillar of Aurelian nobility, though he is a lesser son and firmly outside the Aurelian territories.

Session 7 Journal: Our Return to Port Maraisa and Beyond

Returning to Port Maraisa

After considering our options, we decided to return to Port Maraisa. We noted the key figures and issues at play:

• Orcs: The White Skull orcs, including their Laguna-kin shamans, are fortified in the Ormilandrian mountains. We have reason to believe they can be tracked from Bad Doric.
• Riatavin and Etienne Auttencort: Albrecht’s target, Etienne, is linked to the White Skull through his interest in chattel slavery. He operates outside Aurelian territories.

We identified our allies in Port Maraisa:

Port Maraisa

The Auttencourt family made their money on shipping, including River shipping.

Elena Delphino is an Auttencourt vassal who may be working with the Hesse to undermine the Auttencourt.

We prepped a message in advance and sealed it to send information to Armitage del Veign.

Dominico Falcone was surprised by the news of the White Skull slaving, so he’s ok with our help. It doesn’t seem he was aware of the nearby activity impacting folks traveling through Port Maraisa.

Session 08: The White Skull Fortress

Battle Aftermath & White Skull Fortress

After our intense battle with the orcs, we took a short rest and then retraced our steps back up the mountain. Radovan stayed with the prisoners while the rest of the party repentered the fortree. We discovered that goblins looted knickknacks from the corpses of the orcs after we left. Pressing on, we discovered strong mead in the kitchen and ventured into the cave’s village square.

Session 08 (2024-12-01) - Brian

Battle Aftermath

We go back down to a safe place back the way we came, and take a short rest. We then come back up the same path up the mountain (before the fork in the road) and decide if we want to go up to the same cave, or take the fork we passed up the first time.

We decide to go back to the same entrance.
