Summary Session 4

Session 4

The party stumble onto a grove of viper nettles which are recognised by Ron as having curative powers against disease and addiction, and the valuable berries are harvested with surprising ease by Szriel.

Heading back to the coast, the remains of a camp site and evidence that it was where their captain Kovack and Ieana landed after the shipwreck.

Ron suffered a bad dream and woke up to hear large, bat-like wings flying over the camp.  Some investigations found a pool of blood and a dead goat which had been partially eaten and ripped in two.

A giant spider and dimorphodon are defeated the day Titus comes down with red ache.  The group return to camp to see that everything is in order and the NPCs seem to be in good spirits. Jask is thrilled at the party’s having found evidence that exonerates him, and offers to each them some mantras and prayer techniques, which the party accept the next day.

Ron goes swimming with Sasha (and Dorian) and is offered secret assassin training, an offer which is extended to the entire party when the dimorphodon eggs supplied by Szriel hatch.  Titus refuses the training.  A blood-drained monkey corpse is dropped on the fire that night.

The whole group up and leaves the camp site, the NPCs convinced that the new site will be better, and with an overnight march and exploration of an empty shipwreck, the new camp is set up.  The party rests to give Titus a chance to recover from his illness.  It is decided to follow a treasure map supplied by Ishiro.

An abandoned hut is found.  Inside are a pentagram with several human teeth driven into the wall in the centre of it, and a bunch of writing in blood.  Titus sees the pentagram and immediately raises his hammer, only to be stopped from destruction by the rest of the group.  He then reads the writings, in some crude form of infernal, and establishes that it was cannibals celebrating a great victory, honouring a valiant foe and taunting a defeated enemy.

The wrecked Bearded Harpy is discovered, empty and the hill of the treasure found.  Upon realizing that digging will be required to recover the buried treasure, the party return to the new camp site, grab some shovels and other equipment and head back.  They decipher the treasure’s location by lining up a couple of offshore rocky protrusions with the rising sun at dawn, only just making it in time thanks to Dorian’s reluctance to get out of bed, and after a few hours digging find a huge wooden plug and the skeleton of a murdered dwarf.  The plug is circumvented, and a tunnel straight down is found, which is climbed down by Ron and Szriel who defeat the two lacedons at the bottom with a little help from Dorian.

A waterproof chest is discovered and recovered.
