"Goodnight Penguin" Note: This is just a quick and brief points so that all players and DM are on the same page. It should also be used for those that miss a session and for planning the next session. It is still up to the players to maintain their own records for specific details and character inventory. No! YOUR in contempt of court! I don't know remember who told me to kill him, he just had to die - but it's all good now, 'cause we're bros! Day Count: 8 (39 Total) Party: Charity, Lalatina, Halvor, Merell, Damkai Activities: Arrives in Port Nyanzaru. Merrell became a cat and wandered around the market listening to rumours. Rest of party ordered silvered weapons and met a priest of Savras who talked in a strange voice about the ruins of Orolunga. He then passed out and when he awoke, he told the party to meet him at the temple of Savras so he could bless them and report to his superiors about the strange incident. Party went to Wakonga's and gave an updated report. Syndra introduced Inete, another priest of Salvras who had been having visions of red robed wizards operating out of a secret base somewhere in Aldani Basin. She'll cover food and supplies, and "donate" another 100 gp to the expedition's expenses. She tells the party to meet her at the temple, she has to talk to her grandfather who is the head priest there before she leaves. Wakonga stated he had relaid update of Camp Vengence to Order of the Gauntlet. Order of the Gauntlet "tripled down" and refuses to lose any more ground to the undead and the deathcurse. Strongly encourages party to get out of town in less then 14 days; ‘cause that’s when the resupply convoy will be back from Camp Vengence and it might be bringing people that can ID the party members or at very least; multiple witness reports with descriptions of the party. Next time they come back to port – might want to keep a low profile and not be seen at all. While the party waits for Damkai's new replica body (24hrs) they go to a bar and stumble into a drunk who had illegal purchased monkey fruit. He asked party to escort him and keep him safe while he tried to plead for his safety from Kwayothe, the merchant prince with a monopoly on fruits. Party escort him to Kwayothe's office in the Goldenthrone building; Party betrays Omala and Kwayothe sends Omala to Executioners run in 10 days. Kwayothe then asks party to kill a man named Shago in Fort Beluarian with no questions asked; "make him disappear" for 500 gp. Party canoes over to the fort with River and Flask introducing a "friend" who wants the party to cause a distraction so he can search the commander's quarters. Party arrives at the fort, meets the commander who asks for a few things (detailed below) and gives the party a few charter of exploration; and then the party cause's the distraction with faux blue fog (to mimic the blue mist of madness). During the chaos the party finds Shago hold up in the stables and hires him as an additional guide. Party canoes back to the port (with the "friend" paying the party") and then after dropping River and Flask - they head out with Shago. Party confronts Shago over assassination. Party finds out it's a political based assassination (Shago is the only son to the merchant prince Zhanti). Party then "sleeps on it" and next day goes undead hunting, killing 3 ghouls, 4 zombies, and 1 orge zombie. Party returned to the port and informed Zhanti of the plot to kill her only son...who also might have royal blood.
