## Summary

### Some Things Stay Dead

The party begin battle with the undead. The shadow drains the vitality out of Quintus and the zombies slowly fight the others. Bashan is able to slay the zombies one by one and the party is able to finish off the shadow, but they are injured and struggling to go on. They move towards the temple of Khanos and begin to search it. They find it has been abandonded for a long time, and even Kosef Stormcrown doesn't seem to be constantly cleaning the area.

In the corner of the temple is a hole in the ground, which leads to a tunnel down below. Cue drops down and props up a ladder for the rest of the party to come down. They funnel down and light up a torch and Baka uses the light cantrip on his conch shell mace. They make their way down the tunnel to find a large chamber. With limited lighting, they can't see what it is, but some creature is slumbering inside this chamber. They back up to the tunnel and take a short rest before engaging in whatever that creature might be.

### Drakes and Gaps

The party successfully sneaks into the chamber and finds a Fire Drake sleep, the very creature that Bashan has been hunting. They set up an attack and all attack at once. They manage to kill the creature before it can even wake up. Bashan cuts off the head to keep as proof of the kill, then the party resumes moving through the cavern. They discover another exit on the other side of the chamber and continue on.

They arrive at a large gap with a drawbridge. The bridge is drawn and the lever to lower it is on the other side of the gap. It is about 50 feet down and fifty feet across. They lower Bashan down into the gap, who crosses the gap and uses pitons to slowly climb up to the top of the other side. Cue also tries to lasso a rope on the bridge on the other side and successfully does so, tying off the other end of the rope and shimming across the gap. He arrives just after Bashan reaches the lever and is about to lower the bridge. They lower the bridge and the rest of the party crosses.

### Splitting the Party

They move down a hallway and discover several side chambers on either side of the tunnel. The party splits up and searches those areas. They discover a storage area and what might have been a bunks sleeping area that have been long abandoned. They also discover two collapsed tunnels, which have signs indicating that a member of the Righteous Vanguard may have collapsed these tunnels over a century ago. They take the signs to ask about later and continue down the tunnel.

They arrive in a large chamber, which is mostly dark. Cue sneaks ahead without a word, leaving the rest of the party confused on what to do. He sees Kosef Stormcrown praying in a corner and sneaks forward to get a closer look. The rest of the party slowly trickle in and Poem calls out to Cue, which alerts Kosef and battle begins. Kosef uses a broken portal as cover as he launches spells against the party. They are able to resist his spells and knock him out before he can much harm. They bandage him and tie him look, looking around the chambers.

### Job Well Done

The party discover several bed rolls and tents, presumably Kosef and his followers camped here for long periods of time. They also dicsover a journal of Kosef as well as a book called the Sinkers Guide to the Multiverse. They pocket those for later, tie up the unconscious body of Kosef in a bedroll and gag him, then go to sleep for the night in the cavern.

The party wake up and slowly drag their quarry to town. They discuss what they might do after this is all over, with the members all having different reasons for joining the party in the first place. Towards the end of the night the party arrive in Coppersdale and drop of their quarry to the authorities. They receive their 25  for finishing the job. Quintus receives a letter from Omar Donoghan to give to Thissius Gentry. He is the mayor of Azul so he can send out a bounty/search to find Ubok and his ship, and he owes Omar Donoghan a favor. Bashan receives notice the villages who contracted him to kill the Fire Drake deposited the funds into a **NFC Bank** in Azul and he can pick up his payment there.

### Hook, Line, and Sinkers' Guide to the Multiverse

Cue checks in with his fellow monks at **The Blind Bandit Inn** and they state that they expect to not get a response from the monastery for a week or so. He pays 30  to make sure the monks have their two rooms for another month, which is good because they discovered that Master Vrye may have been overspending the funds and they are coming up short. Cue then takes the Sinkers Guide and the journal of Kosef to the temple of Lorkayn and have Elgoth Wintermere inspect them.

Elgoth inspects the books. He takes out a wand from a case and uses it on the Sinkers Guide. He discovers that this book comes from another plane. His church is collecting similar items, worried of their danger. He gives Cue 100  and says upon delivering this book to the **Library of Vissius**, the temple of Lorkayn in Azul, he would get another 100 . He recommends he not go alone, but bring others to safeguard this delivery, as items like this have extreme value.

### A Man Accepts a Quest

The party gathers at **The Blind Bandit Inn**. There, Cue tells the rest of the party about transporting this book to Azul. They all decide to stay together for a little while longer and complete this quest. Poem is informed by Remora Vanderwall that a woman who identified herself as Kendarah Silkwood was asking about him, though she left as they didn't have any specific information to give her. After a successfully bartering for some horses, the party decide to leave and ride south to Azul...
