• A Lighthouse Divided: Visit the River Guild / Lorenzo Varisi
• A Lighthouse Divided: Visit the [[Merchant Consortium]]
• A Lighthouse Divided: Learn more about the Southern Beacon
• Dermal Dilemma: Learn more about who gets sick from the rotting disease
• Dermal Dilemma: Visit the The Lazaretto to talk to some of the diseased folks.

Port Maraisa

Today is Eliant 24 (similar to September). We were sent to the city to purchase wine from Ankhapur, to the east. The wine would be poor quality, and that’s ok. We woke up in The Gold Coin, the accommodations were reasonable.

Next Steps

We headed out to the The Big Tree at midnight to meet Delridge and go to the boat. Rowan will not join us.

Arriving at [[The Big Tree]]

From The Big Tree, the road slopes down to the shore. The portion of the harbor near the halfling quarter is not as developed as the rest of the harbor. It’s the evening of 24-Eliant.

We meet Delridge outside. He’s wearing a sexy dad leather jacket and beckons us to follow him promptly down the road to the harbor. Delridge has booked us a ride with Dander, the best river navigator for folks our unusual size. Dander’s boat also has a cover, so we won’t be obvious on the river as we cross.

Last time

Last time we met up with Delridge after midnight and crossed the river with Dander, navigating some dangerous currents. Dander told us about the magical plants on the south bank and warned us about the unpleasant fog. We reached the Southern Beacon, a haunted lighthouse with a tragic history involving Agostino Barlucci and Julietta Barlucci.

Inside the lighthouse, we discovered letters and a diary that revealed a story of descent into alcoholism and depression. We encountered a poltergeist throwing bottles around and struggled to open a hatch as water filled the chamber under the beacon. After breaking out, we found Julietta’s corpse and theorized that her death and Agostino’s guilt were keeping his spirit there.

Last time

After capturing Giotto, the Sling Company camps in a serene glade. They enjoy a hearty meal and drinks, with Gavin sharing a song about their exploits. However, the night turns sour as everyone suffers from food poisoning. Kira wakes to find Bikke severely ill, and Giotto dead from the same sickness. The party decides to return to Port Maraisa, where Magistrato Falcone arranges for Bikke to be taken to the Lazaretto. Mother Verduna and Sister Nightsong care for Bikke, who is stable but weak. With Bikke in good hands, the party decides to continue their journey to Bad Doric.

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.
