Session 16

Anton will craft silver weapons

Marcellus will talk with Fulgash

he's currently staying at an inn

Marcellus easily convinces him to enlist in the army

It's a half-day trip to get to Uwem's bridge post

it looks a little better than last time

we confront her about the lycanthropes,

she confirms that they were once of the tribe, but have been exiled

she does not believe our prisoner would be of any use; too crazy

she believes the fort is in better condition

Grix has developed traps that will be deadly

he's also rigged the bridge for destruction, just in case

we spend the rest of the night working on battle plans

Tomorrow we will visit Getlur

they need an evacuation plan should the bridge be taken

Arrive in Getlur

about the size of Sevitry, not walled

We meet with the mayor and devise an evacuation plan

Marcellus entertains the town that night with bardery

Head back to South Kort

We'll check with Kestra about the metal man

she hasn't learned much about it

We visit the old city again

now that the doors have been left open to air out, the king's body has begun to decompose

we spend time to be very thorough in searching the area

find nothing new

Go back up and to bed

Kestra is waiting for us with Fulgash at the Inn lobby

Fulgash gives us more information about the metal man

says he acquired it from some people who originally found it in the western most hills that are south of Kort. It was walking around, allegedly.

We will investigate this area

Kestra will accompany

Arrive are the hills

Coletrane notices the area feels a little different

almost as if everything is new

Run afoul a strange beast while it is consuming what's left of a hobgoblin, it attacks

once we kill it we notice a strange brand, similar to what we've seen in the old city and the metal man

Marley flays the portion of the dog with the runes on it, to read later

We will attempt to track it back to whence it came

Fabian leads us to a recently exposed cave, due to a partial landslide

we enter

Within we find more human murals

this one of a regal looking woman

they also looked as if they have not aged at all

while the Percival ruins showed a more noble depiction, these are all very subservient to this woman

In a deep room we find a room with 6 alcoves, containing 5 metal men

in the same room are 2 pedestal, one is empty, the other is a statue of the monster we fought

behind each pedestal is a clear tube, the one pedestal with a statue has a tube filled with some kind of purple liquid

we collect some left-over purple goo

The last door is sealed with molten gold this time, Percival's was sealed with copper

we still bust this door open

we feel a similar sensation to when we opened Percival's tomb

but also a feeling a dread

and then the goo begins to brew
