Vurzeale is their captive. It’s time to see what he knows – at any cost. Content Warning for brief descriptions of torture.

The meeting with Vurzeale is set for the Necropolis. Granny shares her big secret. And the party scopes out the meeting spot before it’s time to confront him.

Amador gets back to the party with information about a minor politician who is willing to help them contact Vurzeale. Not long after, Granny also receives a separate, chilling message…

What’s a D&D campaign without at least one heist? Let’s rob this rich guy who’s probably gonna get arrested in a couple days!

The cart finally arrives, allowing the rescued cat to finally be returned home. Then, covering their tracks to buy more time before Suero catches up to them, the party decides to pay the “Honorable” Amador Bello a visit, to tell him what his friend has really been up to with this “expedition”... and to hopefully dig up information about Vurzeale, the man seemingly responsible for setting the party up.

The party also gets their group name, at last!

Caz and the strange mountain lion duke it out in this campaign’s rendition of a bush fight, until Asher, Fizzy and Daeris can arrive to help. Once the battle finishes, the mystery of the odd key-like object remains…

The party flees deeper within the mountain, trying to outpace the horrid aberration hunting them. Partway through, they come across a mysterious abandoned altar… only adding to the mysteries of this world.

The party has captured the man from their previous fight alive. Once he awakens, it’s time to drill him for any knowledge he may have about who hired him and why. But even as they wonder if the information will be enough proof, something unexpected throws a wrench into their interrogation…

Asher has a plan. In order to draw out the person who’s been hunting them within the three days Suero allotted them, he’ll use himself as bait by “turning himself in” to the Ghiran guards as a prime witness/suspect. A risky plan, but with it the party hopes to force their pursuer to move quickly… and hopefully make a mistake they can capitalize on to prove their own innocence.

With Suero backing off for now, the party decides to follow Amador’s thread in the hopes it will lead them to more evidence for their innocence. To do so, they head up to Northern Eces to find a cave where a supposed “expedition party” has disappeared…
