Synopsis

This page is a speedier recap of the notes & story so far.

--

The Party meet after all joining a fight against Sken Zabris and a pack of Exploding Kobolds in the streets of Hupperdook. They tell the guards they're adventurers together, when questioned after Sken escapes. Bram Gunchswattle, the captain of the guard, offers them a lot of money for her capture. They make proper introductions inside The Drinking Pin.

--

The Party investigate Sken's escape from Gearhold Prison. They find an explosive device which uses Black powder, and Yinra, an elf who is also searching for Sken. They are briefly waylaid by a corpse in the streets - it has been burned in a circle of Infernal Runes. They meet Clef Tinkertop and his daughter Rissa Tinkertop. Clef identifies Huron Stahlmast as the builder of the explosive Voxseeker. The party visit the Firemark Facility and are told about a missing worker, Nima. They go to her home address, where they are attacked by kobolds.

--

The group fight the Kobolds and capture one. He offers to lead them to 'the master' at the top of the Silberquel Ridge. The party run into more Kobolds, and kill them, along with the guide. The party enter the The Silver Falls and find Sken. They manage to knock her out, and free Nima the explosives expert.

--

The party deliver Sken to Bram. Komani ignores Sken trying to make a deal with her. Outside the Drinking Pin, there is a cart with the sigil of the Sons of Sigma on it. Moss tells Korvok and Llunet that they appropriated the name from some dead adventurers, and to be worried. The cart was left by a fire genasi, along with other gifts. In private, Korvok tells the group he knows this is Mara Jezebeth - leader of The Bonds of Bedlam. The conversation gets heated and Hartmut storms out. Everyone else agrees to distance themselves from the Sons of Sigma.

--

Everyone has a Nightmare. Moss and Korvok head out to find Hartmut, where she apologises for the group. Inside the Drinking Pin a sea elf, Belrond Seaclay, is asking after the Sons. Korvok suggests they're dead. The party go to the Firemark Facility for information, and Korvok pretends to have lost their ledger, which he has stolen. Aware that Yinra was trapped in the Silverfalls Hideout, Moss suggests the party rescue him. They head up the mountain.

--

Inside the hideout, the party successfully rescue Yinra, and find plans to collapse the mountains around Hupperdook.

--

The party navigate to the final room, where they fight the half man half machine that Huron has become. During the fight, the party experience strange dunomantic prophecies/future vision. They are victorious, and take his skull and goggles as evidence. They return to the inn.

--

The party hear rumours that war machines have been stolen from inside The Armavault. Yinra gives the group a reward for rescuing him, and heads off to the Menagerie Coast at their suggestion. The party give the evidence to Bram. The party go shopping after they're rewarded.

--

The group find out a little about Komani's sword, and the dragon runes on it. They make their way to the Blushing Tankard to see a performance, stopping to buy some trinkets on the way. Korvok finds his younger sister, Linok, at the tavern. Morrigan and Komani assist with the performance, which is being performed by Bango Skank, Belrond's alter ego. Linok tells the party she protected Othe from a gnoll attack, after Korvok left.

## 10.

The party beat a table of gnomes in a Dampfnudel eating competition. They head out into the streets, kind of drunk, to experience Renewal Fest. They drink and compete in a few festival games, then make their way home. Moss and Llunet talk about Bysaes Tyl, and the goals of Moss' people. Komani and Llunet talk about Komani's destiny. Llunet finishes translating Komani's sword runes - they are a poem to 'the Lurker'.

## 11.

Belrond arrives at the Drinking Pin and talks to Morrigan alone. He tells everyone about a survivor of a Gnoll attack named Marvir. The party try to find him. They are waylaid a little when Hartmut finds out Clef and Rissa Tinkertop have been arrested, on suspicion of stealing the War Machines frrom the Armavault. Hartmut marches directly to Bram's office, everyone except Komani and Korvok trailing after him. Hartmut demands that Bram correct this obvious mistake, and the party visit Clef and Rissa in the prison. Bram seems to think the immediate arrival of the Cerberus Assembly in town is suspicious.

Komani and Korvok go to the fighting pits, as they'd originally intended, and find Marvir there. Additionally, they find proof that Tasani's partner Harlowe has been cheating on her and making fun of her. They grab Marvir, and head back to the Drinking Pin.

The entire party reconvene and question Marvir, who is devolving into a gnoll-creature. Linok reveals that when she left Othe, her father looked like this. She has locked him in their cellar, so he cannot hurt people. Marvir demands that the group fight him, to cure his hunger. He bites Korvok, who knocks him out.

## 12.

With some assistance from the party, Hartmut builds a successful defense case for the Tinkertops. They gift the party a worn carriage and mechanical horse in thanks for their freedom.

Korvok and Moss tell Tasani what Harlowe has been doing. She gets her shit from him, packs up and leaves Hupperdook.

Moss gets a criminal contact from Korvok, to help her track her missing Sisterhood Researcher.

Komani and Moss both make contacts.

Llunet and Hartmut talk - he reveals he has secret knowledge stolen from his brother who works with the Cerberus Assembly. Llunet reveals she also has a brother who was the 'golden child', and trained with her.

Morrigan goes to her monastery to train.

Korvok replaces the Ledger from the Firemark Facility with a forgery.

## 13.

Marvir has died. The party argue over what to do with the body - they had him tied up, it looks bad. Korvok realises what this means for his father, back in Othe.

There's a knock at the front door - Denard Hanscoff wants to hire the Sons of Sigma to clear pests out of his inn. Moss, who has answered, tells him the Sons are dead. He asks what their group name is and Moss says they are the ... ironlot... uhhh. He hires them instead.

The party hide the body in the mechanical cart, and head towards the mines. They bury and burn the remains halfway between town and the mines. Hartmut stays in the cart, disapproving.

At the mines, the party face the invasive Rust Monsters.

## 14.

The party defeat the Rust Monsters, and a Feral Gnoll trapped in a cage in the mines. They return to town, where the final day of Renewal Fest is just starting. They compete, racing up the stairs to the idleworks shelf, and in a dragon eating contest, then head over to Bess, the submarine.
