Session 44: Goodbye Goblinhome

## Debriefing

The party arrives in Kiznack, injured Ixxy in tow. A warm welcome awaits them, but their priorities lie with saving their dying comrade.

Pressed for time they split into 2 groups. Eppa and a local healer called Sleebs focus on stabilizing Ixxy, who keeps transforming her body subconsciously in an attempt to stop her injuries whilst Glunnn and Kristoffer introduce Vrisko to Kaven and explain the fate of Morova and her cohorts.

Thankfully, Eppa manages to keep Ixxy from death, but it seems a piece of the puzzle is missing, finally in a good enough condition to talk, the succubus fills in the gaps: she needs to feed in order to rebuild her body properly. She lets Eppa and Kristoffer decide if they want to help her, which makes them realize they could have been forced to assist her, if she insisted on the terms of the contract. A kiss from a charmed Eppa that drains both his body and (probably) his sanity as well leaves Ixxy in an impressively better condition as finally she is stable enough to rest.

Glunnn makes the difficult choice on not following his dreams and instead focusing on ~~conquering~~ protecting Goblinhome from intruders and the Tomb itself. The party promises to look into Kaven's desire to hire a trustworthy individual who would teach normal goblins how to fight like soldiers.

## Partying

Soon comes the time for festivities and the heroes of the day are celebrated. Kaven, Kristoffer, Eppa and Tomno give speeches in an attempt to keep spirits high, or in one particular case, to make amends.

The dead are celebrated, the foundations for independence from Grondmeer are set and promises are made to better prepare Goblinhome for future outside aggression.

The party take a well deserved rest.

## Final details

A piece of the party's exit strategy is still missing: the orb that Morova removed from the pedestal that would allow access to Thrix noh's chambers. So the party start looking for it.

Vrisko does not seem to have it and Eppa's spells seem to confuse rather than help him, as distances become meaningless and his sanity is tested once more. Kristoffer seems torn between choices and Glunnn takes the slow and steady road of checking for Morova's tracks. The first time he finds the clearing in which Morova perished as well as the path Surven took to reach the Tomb's entrance, but as he goes over his findings again, he spots a path that splits, almost unnoticeable as only one creature followed it: one of the last mummies remaining on Goblinhome and in its chest, the much desired orb.

Seeing no reason to delay a seemingly inevitable meeting, the party prepares to say goodbye. Most of Kiznack joins them around the teleportation circle, well wishes and chants heralding the party's departure.

A last minute exchange of artifacts reveals that Karrix's weapon was actually cursed, a problem soon remedied by Eppa.

As they take the portal Thrix Noh makes himself known and Eppa pacifies the worried spectre with some kind words.

## Goldenview most wanted

Approaching the city after ignoring some rumbustious dwarven soldiers assisting with an unfortunate river crossing, the party split from Ixxy, telling her to find refuge in the Yarn of Yore until they finish their meeting with the Wizard. She joins the queue, whilst they contemplate a more immediate entry.

One sending later, she sees them rush by, apparently the whole guard expecting them anxiously. Harold, directs them to the barracks as all red tape is lifted until they meet the guard captain, a man called Veltran Brightstone. He underlines the significance of them staying with him, saying it is an attempt to keep them from an Ordinator that has been sent to the city, as they have become individuals of some importance for at least one High Clan. He also seems to know them all by name, even calling out Ixxy's absence from the group.

**Drinking some lukewarm water, the Eppa and Kristoffer contemplate their next move.**
