setting off in the Belle Venture), and It is now: 10:15 am on September 21st (Day 51 on the Isle
of Dread). Things start with the party going through the
wizard Horan’s house, looking for anything of value. Sheila takes the scroll case that the sitting in
the secret study, below the scroll painting that cursed her, (and likely Horan
as well!). She then goes to Horan’s body and sees he is wearing a pair of
bracers and has a cool looking dagger with a snake engraving. Sheila removes a
vial from his waist and takes the scroll upon him as well. On a small chain
necklace around Horan’s neck is a shiny silver whistle and a miniature elaborately
carved chest. Garis, has a look at what is on the bugbear body
guard and only finds his fauchard and throwing axe. Garis, decides to take the
throwing axe. Garis, also rolls up the two bamboo scroll
paintings in Horan’s bedroom, as they look like they could fetch 4,000 apiece!
On a nightstand is a note which mentions that a doorway or portal has opened up
on the Needle Obelisk, in the maze complex just north of Horan’s compound, with
a list of guard names of those assigned to investigate it. The adventurers then quickly make their way back
to the mongrelman compound and remain there for four days before they do
another excursion. It is noted that on the scroll that Horan was carrying is
the spell, “Protection from Magic”. On the scroll found in the secret study
are: Purify Food and Water, Silence 15ft radius and three Slow Poison spells.
The vial contains a red liquid that glimmers when shaken. [NOTE: The party did not explore the north east
side and southern portion of Horan’s compound which is divided into two
sections. Also, aside of the tower that Allowishis opened the gate in the wall walkway
was not explored!!!] While, the party was in the mongrelmen compound
Sheila, being cursed by the scroll painting in the study, now believes she will
become ruler over all of the Isle of Dread realm and that the first step to
achieve that is to eliminate her former adventure party mate, Coal Blackstone,
who was made King of the mongrelmen due to winning a challenge with the former
king. So thus, Sheila, challenges Coal to a match. Coal, seeing that Sheila has
gone mad, accepts the challenge. Xilicien,
casts a Detect Magic spell upon Sheila and notes a faint magical aura surrounds
her. He then tries to dispel it and rolls a 39% needing ≤ 26%, it did not work! The competition is held in the main gathering
area of the mongrelman compound and just as it is about to begin, Garis,
decides to try and stop it by subduing her instead by pummeling. This Attack
Form Is Aimed At Battering An Opponent Into Unconsciousness. It Can Be Used
With Fists Or Dagger Pommel (As In Pummel) As Weapons. 25% Of Damage Sustained
Is Actual; The Remaining 75% Is Restored At The Rate Of 1 Hit Point Per Round
For Large Creatures. For Small Or Medium Sized Creatures, Damage Is 50%
Temporary And 50% Actual. Whenever An Opponent Reaches 0 Hit Points,
Unconsciousness Occurs. It Lasts For 1 Round, Plus 1 Round For Every Point Of
Damage Beyond 0 Hit Points Which Has Been Sustained, I.E. 4 Hit Points Equals 5
Rounds Of Unconsciousness. An Unconscious Opponent Can Be Trussed Or Slain In 1
Round. This results
in an exchange of blows that between the two of them that last 5 rounds, with
Lord Cromther, stepping in to deliver the final pummel to Sheila that knocks
her out! King Coal, thanks Garis and Lord Cromther. Garis
thanks Lord Cromther for his help. Sheila is tied up and taken away to be
confined for now. With the death of Horan a power vacuum has
opened up, that will have the bugbears, bullywugs, deathwalker natives and
yuan-ti snakemen fighting for control to run the Forbidden City above ground
for their Lizard King in the depths below the city. The adventurers ask for assistance from the
mongrelmen and tasloi and five from each group joins the party on the next
excursion into town, which is a visit to a housing compound full of the
yuan-ti. A mongrelman
enters the dwelling through the kitchen door where 5 Yuan-ti halfbloods are
prepping a meal. A yuan-ti tells him to get lost and go steal someone else’s
kitchenware. The mongrelman responds telling him he’s here to take out the
trash. The yaun-ti points to a sack of food waste and tells him to go feed the
crocodiles. After that initiative
