Port Maraisa

We were sent to the city to purchase wine from Ankhapur, to the east. The wine would be poor quality, but that’s ok because it’s our cover. We woke up in The Gold Coin and went downstairs to get some breakfast.

Session 03 (2024-07-21)

The session begins at midnight on the morning of 25-Eliant.

Last time: Session 2

Next steps:

• Meet with Delridge Berryroot at The Big Tree and head to the boat
• Take the boat across the river Ith River
• Restore the Southern Beacon
• Talk with Mother Verduna

The Big Tree Tavern

After midnight, we meet Delridge at The Big Tree to head to the boat. He’s wearing a sexy dad leather jacket and hurries us downhill toward the halfling quarter harbor at the eastern edge of Port Maraisa. 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.

Session 04 (2024-08-09)

The Southern Beacon

We gathered enough information to speak with a smith or professional for an assessment. Barrick learned that the glass floats were broken but repairable, and that the flame eruption likely damaged the lenses. Bikke investigated the boat near the Southern Beacon, which was sufficient to get us back to the dock but not across the river.

The mist retreated as the sun rose.

The Lazaretto

We walked back to the fork in the trail and met Lepett, a deformed half-elf guard suffering from the rot. He offered to let us into The Lazaretto to see Mother Isabel Verduna. The Lazaretto was surrounded by a basic wooden palisade with carts of bodies out front. Inside, we saw a burn pit being used for garbage and several buildings. Mother Verduna led us to the Temple of Ilmater to rest.

Session 04b (Narrative Intermission)

Road to Port Maraisa

After a day of hard travel and the violence of Grottio’s, capture a proper rest is in order. The members of Sling Company draw the slaver’s wagon to a clear glade with a gentle stream near the road. It is an ideal place to make camp for the night, and judging by the tracks and fire-pits left behind they are not the first travelers to find comfort here.

Session 05 (2024-08-30)

The Mirefen Swamp and Omlarandin Mountains

As we approached Bad Doric, the ground grew more solid, and the Mirefen faded behind us. We found ourselves on a road, or a well-made path, and following it south, we came across the banks of a fast-flowing river, likely a tributary of the Ith. Lepett informed us that we were entering the foothills of the Omlarandin Mountains. Kira instructed Lepett to return to the Lazaretto, and he agreed after confirming that we could find our way back.

Session 06 (2024-09-13)

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 Order of Hospitalers Temple, transformed into a fish to explore the spring under the temple. She discovered a bound shadow elemental from the [[Shadowfell]], likely the source of the corruption. Kira speculated that creature seemed to be fed through the well in the tunnels, possibly via herbs or other offerings, and was immobile, indicating it was bound.
