| *The party are gathered by [[Lyowyn Mossbringer]] who believes they have tracked down the location of the stolen head of [[Ripjaw]], the mad [[Gnolls|Gnoll]] artificer, which was recently stolen from the company headquarters by the criminal [[Jack of Hearts]]. The party track down the location to a townhouse in [[Galik]] and identify that it is one of many properties owned by the [[Hearthorne]] family. As they approach they learn that [[Alistair Hearthorne]] won the election for High Burgher of Galik. During that same period sirens go off as guards rush to aid the High Burgher as someone had tried to assassinate him.
| | TBD |
| *The party arrive at the townhouse, quietly incapacitating a pair of lookout guards and entering the home which they find barren, save for hidden supply bags and disguise kits. Reaching the top floor, the party avoid a trap and find the head of Ripjaw connected to strange magitech technology. Here they suddenly run into Jack of Hearts who bursts in beaten and bruised. After dealing with a corrupted fungal Lyreguard who then attempted to kill Jack of Hearts, the party escape the townhouse with the criminal and demand answers.
| |
| *Jack of Hearts reveals themselves to be Jaqueline Hearthorne, sister of Alistair Hearthorne. She tells the party about the lost city of [[Thelrya]] and how the demoness Mother plans to use it to ascend to godhood. She also informs them that her brother plans to use his position as High Burgher to weaken Galik's defenses so it will not stand in Mother's way. Finally she informs them that Alistair brought an ally of Mother's into the city, and ancient demigod like being that helped Mother in the far flung past.
| |
| *The party rush to confront Alistair only to find the entire council of Galik dead and the vermin of the city congregating around the building. Here they find Alistair and [[Lenore Hearthorne]] along with a [[Wren|strange cultists of worms]]. Alistair and Lenore flee to Thelrya through a teleportation circle and the cultists takes the lawbook, the new laws established by Alistair still in the process of writing themselves.
| |
| *As the Bride and Groom flee, their honored guest arrives, a strange figure made of worms and vermin known only as "[[The Lord of the Beneath]]." It transforms into a massive worm like monster and collapses the building into the caves and sewers below Galik, where it then proceeds to begin sinking other sections of the city bringing great destruction. The party manages to defeat the cultist and revert the laws Alaistair set in place. Then before the Lord of the Beneath can continue destroying the rest of the city they trick it into smashing through an underground seawall, trapping it and forcing it to transform back into its smaller form and flee.
| |
| *The party say their goodbyes to Jaqueline who agrees to do her best to clean up her families mess before doing away with their identity as Jaqueline for good.
