Session 20: ...And Justice for All

General Summary

The gang goes dumpster diving for Rakish’s research. Alkaline and Florian find it. Rakish eagerly grabs it whilst the rest brush off filth – when suddenly, Triandra spots a seemingly rotting humanoid approaching. Quickly, she grabs Rakish and runs off with him. Just as the rest of the party begin to register the undead’s presence, it lunges towards Teel and brutally attacks him, screeching words of vengeance. With the old gnome out of harms way, Triandra returns to grab the actively dying Teel from death’s grasp and runs off with him too. Melee attacks seem ineffective towards the undead whilst it barges past party-members in pursuit of Teel. With no current way of fighting it, Alkaline magically shackles it, giving the group a head start as they begin to flee. The party manages to get away, for now, and reaches the catacombs where Rakish awaits them. Provided acute medical assistance by Alkaline, Teel has regained consciousness, and Navëd immediately tends to the boy’s wounds once they’ve taken shelter. Even so, the dwarf is still severely wounded and is given a bed to rest in a lone room. But before heading off to sleep, Teel confirms that he recognizes the Revenant as the man he’d murdered a mere week ago. Rakish and Alkaline are quick to begin discussing pneuma research and theory, meanwhile Navëd approaches Florian and Triandra with concerns for the young dwarf and revenant. Navëd decides to guard the entrance, but first goes to retrieve the ‘walking-talking’ from Teel. Rummaging through his belongings, they come across Teel’s personal notes? Perplexed, the sus half-elf snoops at what’s written before heading off to stand guard. In the meantime, the rest decide that some will go seek aid at an All-fathers Closter regarding the revenant. Florian tries to convince Navëd to join the trip, but the ex-guard is adamant on not leaving their post. Navëd hands them their remaining gold and the ‘telling phone’, and Triandra and Florian leave as a duo. At the Closter, they find an old fanatical orc priest whom insists that they will need to exorcise the revenant, emphasizing that the finishing blow needs to be by holywater. The priest hands them a flask of ‘All-fathered’ holywater. As they leave, Triandra prays for Medella to bless the water too.
