Session 109, October 5 2022

Introduction

We continue at 8:45PM on the 19th of Denrilden (00.000.09.12 on the Apocalypse Clock) with the party discussing their next moves in Admiral Eliasa's quarters aboard her flagship, the Sea Queen. The group's choice has been complicated, though, by Eliasa and Kasa's claim that the Seer of Lysander plans to elevate an undead pirate to the Admirals' Council to replace those she deems disloyal. Those removed from power, including Druul's mother, would almost certainly be executed if that comes to pass. Eliasa also raises questions about whether the Seer is truly working honestly on behalf of Lysander and whether it might just be better to have Armada working with (and potentially sabotaging) the DVLs efforts to round of slave labor to build their colossal "soul-stealing" tower on the mainland. Will the party choose to capture Bavmorda now that they know where her safehouse is? Or will they leave the Seer to her fate in hopes that Lysander could be appeased afterward? Can the DVLs be snookered by the Armadan pirates, thereby delaying their plans for harvesting the world's lifeforce? Does the party have any good choices in their ongoing quest to reach Gharmarost and raid the Inquisitorial Library? Many of those questions are unanswerable -- except the last one. That one's answer is "no".

Larry's Summary

The party spends so long trying to decide what to do that when we finally decide to go save the Seer that when Eliasa tries to stop us by styaing to party, Druul charms her and she tells us that Bavmorda is on the say to kill her now. An old orc Khelratha saw is the father of the mother orc Khelratha gave bread and gems to and tells us he saw Bavmorda on Eliasa's ship. He was crew under her before he retired.

We rush forward then hear bells and Drayze shows up and stops us, our guide Domelch rushes to the temple.

Drayze tells us that Bavmorda has killed the Seer and Lysander will destroy Armada if Bavmorda isn't broght to justice by dawn. Also his faction want the new Seer to tell Lysander to go find Dagon as a last ditch effort to save the world. Dagon was bigger than Lysander the last time Drayze saw him.

Drayze is surprised to find "Thorfus Ironhand" but Khelratha insists he is dead.

Drayze leaves just as another DVL of the other faction appears and tells us the same.

We head to Kasa's ship and VElkin has Jardin make him invisible and he shadow steps to the ship and sees Bavmorda appear out of the shadows and go to the ship and below decks. Then the yellow hat appears and hides behind crates and sits down with a pipe.

Velkin climbs down and searches for Bavmorda through the porthols of the forward cabins and finds Bavmorda on a bed as we arrive.

Druul tries to go to the ship, and Khelratha mentions that she is wounded and we were sent for medicine and pushes forward.

the guards go aft and break down the door to Kasa's cabin.

the yellow hat points us forward and we go and meet up with Velkin who has captured Bavmorda with sleep poison and bound and gagged her and put out her eeyes.

Druul tried to charm her, but fails. Velkin gives her sleep poison, but Khelratha puts his dagger through her heart.

In the wardrobe is a naked orc that must be the acolyte whose robes Bavmorda is wearing.

We carry both their bodies like drunken sailors and Ranarth volunteers to lead the two guards to Kasa.

The yellow hat congratulates us and promises a contract by morning and shadow steps away.

We drop off the dead acolyte under the blanket like a sleeping drunk and make our way forward.

We make our way through the thick crowds and find a group of prisests and acolytes and Domelch leading chanting over the body of the Seer.

We present Bavmorda's body and Elkior identifies the body and praises us for our belated success in finding her. Krungma speaks up a bit, but Elkior quiets him by saying he will take charge of the investigation and expects the other admirals will help him.

Domelch steps in and we hear someone in the crowd ask if he is the new Seer?

Domelch oversees cutting up Bavmorda's body and putting it on a hook and chain to feed to the devilfish. The crows agrees to that.

The party discusses one of us, Druul becoming the seer, or Jardin, then mention Grisl, the tongue less former slave from the underdark. He must have made it to Armada since the admirals had the letter from the Wardens inviting them to the council.

Acolytes are ready to guide us to the sanctuary in the temple....
