G18 - Sacrifice

Date: Sunweal (6) 10th, Duesday 760

At the Warrior's Cauldron you all just finished washing up after the murder of Lem. His body full of rocks resting at the bottom of the ocean. His house cleaned up at the best of your abilities. Posco's wolf pelt, still moist from soaking it in Lem's blood. Neth's tattoos have darkened once again.

Posco's sleep was troubled, drifting in and out of sleep, giving him that feeling that no time had passed even though the first rays of sun broke the night. A string on his finger startled him awake. With every second, his pain grows, and it emanated from the tentacle ring. Feeling his life force being pulled, he cast remove curse to free him of the hold from the ring and immediately too it off. Seconds later, the ring withered and shrunk.

In the morning, Otis ended up collecting the withered ring that fell apart in his hands. The inn was bustling with activity. Word that the Auromen Holy Empire is dealing with rebellions, with the new emperor being unable to contain them. Olden is blaming Raudox for the peace treaty slaughter, and have been reports of skirmishes. They also noticed a wanted poster asking about the Boon.

After some discussion, they decided to not tell Rock & Sons, but let Tabaxi Steve know. In the meantime, Posco contact Nettles with a message, he replied saying "We did it...you are free...I'm not going to make it Wolf...I'm sorry I lied, Wolf...did you kill your wife yet? She...". Those were his last words prior to death. This lead to Posco feeling shocked and confused about his wife.

Ultimately, they went along with their initial plan and informed Salvo and Tabaxi Steve that his wife is not coming back. On a positive note, it appeared like Steve had taken the party's suggestion to heart and was trying to start a garden. Ren decided to assist by performing a harvest dance, that took 8 hours to complete. They also declined any payment.

After that, they went to Vics to set up a trust fund for Salvo. The arrangement agreed upon is for Vics to make sure that Salvo went to school and became his apprentice for 60gp for the next 10 years.

Posco also wanted to visit Nettles' house and his. Nettles' house had another family leaving there. His house was how he remembered it, and the hidden key was at the pot it always was. Looking for clues, he didn't find much, but a letter addressed to Colwin Sindarin. Instead, he took some items that had emotional value, Nettles' wooden boat he had made for him and one of Eli's shirts.

They decided to move inns again and went to the Cursed Hammer in case the Great Old One somehow tracked them down. That night, Neth summoned Kamashtu by using her own blood. She found out that someone else has the heart, not her mom, but they might give her the heart. Also, that her mom's mistress is Lloth the Spider Bitch.

When the party heard this information, Posco attempted to contact Milo Lightfoot, but he was dead. He messaged Greeneyes instead, and learned that half the village died. They were attacked by a group that had a purple flag with eyes. A werewolf, a white haired guy that was most likely a wizard. Greeneyes and his tribe fled using boats.

With this new information, the party decided that they should head to Raudox and confront Neth's mother.
