Episode Three: Ghosts Report

General Summary

Gleaming Dolphin Doran McKinnon's son, nearly dead, lies on the table in the Gleaming Dolphin. Doran does not blame the Coasters for his son's condition but believes they are morally obligated to end this occupation of the city. He believes that "collaborators" who live in the city are the worst sort of scum for promoting this continued suffering.

• TipTip is able to heal the boy.

  Althelos says he cannot pay them to learn what happened to his brother Favian, but that Favian is likely to have some wealth.  If the party agrees to find Favian, Althelos will sell a voice potion to them for 200gp. Same deal made with Chippy. 

• The party accepts the quest and heads out to the Mournhell Ancestral Mausoleum

  Grave Yard Fight The entrance to the Mournhell family mausoleum is blocked by an awakened tree, which guards against intruders not of the family line.  After a skeleton ambush and  many brushes with death, the party narrowly escapes the tree and a screaming floating head. 

• Shred uses Thermautagy with a blue flame, to open the door once the tree has moved away from the entrance

Inside the Mausoleum Favian greets the party warmly and shares his food.  Favian will not return to Portorosso until it is once again free and he has a plan to make it happen.  Favian intends to retake the town using a hoard of undead. This scale  of necromancy is only possible with sufficient necrotic energy in the form of souls.   P   QUEST OPENED "The Dark Harvest":  The party is invited to kill 6 collaborators from Portorosso in order to fill a soul prism. Once the souls are acquired, the undead will attack Ursula's loyal forces and the city will be freed. PROMISED REWARDS:

2. The zombie attacks on local farms will stop, so that the party can claim some protection income
