- Quest had a dream about Dane being lashed and Roondar being tortured with acid and his soul being stolen
- Met Mark's character Jon Harrow the cleric, took him with us as he had knowledge of religion and Pellor in particular, took us to meet Alistair the head of said temple
- Met Kessell, who was speaking for Alistair who had taken a vow of silence. They had heard about the Fade and rumours about the watch tower like others had.
- Quest spoke to Alistair with telepathy and told him about Vecna and Alistair attempted to purify the amulets, and told us of old conflicts with Vecna, that Jostyll in Stillbend might know more
- We decided to head to Stillbend and started enquiring about getting a boat ride at the docks, 20 gold a head from one of them! Also met a crazy hermit, not much help. But we continued persuading him and in the end the cleric managed to persuade him that he'd heal his medical problems shall we say, while he was inside with him we cast off, the dwarf had proficiency all of a sudden! Cleric managed to injure the old man but cured his gallstones at least! (HEAVILY CENSORED VERSION...) we didn't ask about the girl/woman/corpse thing in the corner......
- Managed to arrive in Stillbend in his ship. Decided to search for Alistair's contact and the temple if possible to seek healing for the old man
- Looked around merchants and didn't find anyone selling enchanted or intricate obsidian items
- Looked for some food and drink to potentially buy a supply from for Pyra and just generally explored
- Went to the Temple of Ioun and spoke to the head cleric there about our crazy old man friend, and we offered to help control the modrons, these strange little spider constructs that appeared recently, cleric used his animal handling; discovered they were refining wild magic and putting it into crates; eventually Quest taught her some Infernal as we had no luck with the modrons and she agreed to send help for our "friend"!
- Made it to the tower where Jostyll works, made it past the bureaucrat outside via some deception by Quest and saw her, she told us about Vecna and how a lich is born; soul of a willing volunteer, preserved heart of an ancient being, stone of fire and brimstone, and sacrifice of an innocent. Also only able to be performed at the solstices. We're only two weeks from the next solstice!
- Cleric remembered that in times of strife people would turn to The Fade and their leader the Gloombringer
- Went to see Shaky at Nana's Shop
- Trade in obsidian from the mine, smith in town is using lots of it, Shaky is the middleman. He hates the Fade but doesn't know anything
- Orcs may be stealing the children and threatening the town
- Saw heavily armoured Orc on a wolf entering town, tossed torso of a child down in front of everyone and then left!! A grisly confirmation that they've got the kids. Going to stop them! Dane is incensed. Feels like a distraction like the Red Plumes near Pyra.
