Session Forty-Nine (Graveyard of Empires Summary)

Session 49 – March 25, 2015

We explore the passageway behind the secret door and encountered another bile spitting creature. We hauled it out and burnt it.

Thorfus & Chuq take advantage of free trainin, starting the 24th of Denrilden and will finish 1st of Anrilden.

Clement and his crew were ready and Finklemur shrinks the stone floor, they wench up the statue onto the wagon with the ox and capstan. They built a trap door and put it in place and then use the ox to pull the wagon down to the docks.

We use the ship Bitterhorse, captained by Hemmonet de Hayton to load the statue onto the Bawdy Bachelor, and have success without anyone being hurt or losing the statue.

The 26th of Denrilden is a double high tide and we look to see that its greatest depth is only the second step of the iron spiral staircase.

Axel, Finklemur, Uthruk, Brice, Sturloc & Kottar escort the statue to Midmark to sell it.

Finklemur pays to get at least one of the Starchie Boyz emblems magicked with continual light.

Fink also buys Find Familliar from Aldus and conjures up a screech owl, he named Sokrates.

Aldus confirms that the dragon is he center of the dragon cult of the dervishes, and that there were a few dervishes for each inquisitor, plus support troops.

Aldus asked if the room we found it in was very plain, which it was.

Aldus also told us that the bile spitting undead are sea zombies and that they are stronger than regular zombies, clerics have problems turning them or can’t turn them. They have some measure of intelligence, and some of them can cast spells. They carry disease and anyone injured by them are likely to die of disease. This prompts the party to seek healing for Uthruk. It takes about two weeks to be fatal.

Aldus suggest bilge pumps or that newfangled air pump contraption in Kalligan to move a large amount of water.

We get an appraisal of the historical value of the statue from Aldus of about 3,000 g.p..

We go across the street and speak to Alexander Rudenchuck the assistant to Almeer the guild master of the jeweler’s guild. He appraises the materials of the status at 3,000 g.p.

Finklemur trades the scroll of Protection from Magic to the Ark Cathedral in exchange for cure disease for Uthruk and restoration of a level for Finkelmur.

We sell the statue to the university for 7,000 gp.

Finkelmur takes up Desric’s desire to test for a ghost (or inquisitor). Desric is especially excited about Finklemur’s half of an inquisitor’s mask. Finklemur is shocked to badly he thought he might die, but it did clear the mask. After one last use of it, finklemur sell it to Desric for 2,000 gp.

There was some mention by Aldus about an issue with illusionists and Faldspar seems to have disappeared.

Perrette tells the party, who left the statue at Lord Thontron’s over night that he is likely to be the next commander of the gray cloaks. He says to thank Thorfus for inviting him into the tomb. Without that he says there was a good chance we would have been in Thornton’s basement answering questions.

Perrette also tells us that Lord Tevric Endril is likely to be the new mayor and that Lord Thornton will be the new chief magistrate.

The party stayed the night in the townhouse. Elspeth took a liking to Uthruk, and Haldan was protective of Elspeth. Finklemur charmed Haldan and didn’t do much with him.

Axel got permission from the Brothers of the World Forge to go to the lightning room. Axel, Brice, Uthruk, and Sturloc and Kottar met four acolytes and entered the tomb and placed the battery on the marked spot and it exploded injuring Axel and nearly killing all the acolytes. This information was relayed to Desric and he tore up his plans to recharge one. He did buy our broken one for 200 gp.

Sugyve is the head acolyte.

Low Market – Meirennit Blienrodt – one name mentioned of a magic user that might buy the scroll.

Abraham Guildenbillicks – magic user in area where Talisin used to live.
