Contract terminated - with prejudice
The progress that the party made in tracking down the HH disguised as a Maratasen and his two Giant meat-cart-pulling chums is now irrelevant, as Coincutter reacted very badly to Joshua's attempt to get extra support and guaranteed Raise Deads. CC told us 'our services are no longer required'.
So the party is left to do its own thing for the remains of our week in Wingsport. Q. gets to see her GARM worshipping Alchemist, Garaf does some dodgy deals with the Perceval leeches, and Umar makes friends with Payaul - the town's Goblin resident. They get on very well, and Umar learns that:
* The goblins found the Void to be a very pleasant place to live - almost a paradise, with no Orcs, Dwarves, Elves etc to hassle them.
* They were there for about 20 years subjectively. (So that indicates a 15:1 time-flow differential)
* When they were unceremoniously dumped back into this world, only those Goblins who had originally come from here returned - all those who were born in the Void remained there (or at least that is what Payaul assumed, having seen none of the younger generations here)
* The main army of Goblins marched off into the desert because they were told there was gate back to the Void/paradise there. Payaul didn't believe this so didn't go - those who went into the desert presumably died of starvation/dehydration.
* Payaul is a Dekatur worshipper (the not-nice kind) and works for Coincutter. He is some kind of 'advanced' berserker.
We did not see Vinmira again - and no sign of any recompense for the Pathfinder Officer's cloak.
At the end of the week Q finishes her potions, we collect F's bow, and the party prepares to leave Wingsport with the intention of going to Riverside and then on to Stormhaven. Unfortunately, we are unable to purchase horses or supplies as the prices have been increased ten-fold or more for Joshua, so we will have to travel to Riverside on foot - about 10 days journey time. As Joshua vents his disgust at all things Percevallian, he appears to acquire a curse from the merchant as one would pick up fleas from a cur.
