Session 2: From MacGuff to McRibbit

In MacGuff's Manor

Began session near midnight on the 1st Nienos (8th) of Palesun in Lord MacGuff's Manor, fighting against a mimic in the vault. The mimic nearly took out Gunther, but it definitely killed Liam, the guard in there.

Following this, the party looted a handful of magical items, and discovered on the middle chest three lines, appearing to be carved out by fingernail:

Cloak
Iron Pact
Revenge

Next, they observed the Noble's room, noticing the way the neck was cut, his chipped fingernails, a handful of gp, and a pawn shop ticket for 300gp to "Toadally awesome Emporium". Additionally, no sign of exit was noticed in the room from the cloaked figure.

They escaped by stealthing their way out the back of the manor, only overhearing the Ogre talking to someone about the incident.

Fleeing to Safety

Escaping the Gails, the party ran right into a guard duo who asked them their business. Through a dubious deception, they told the guards that they were meeting with Marluxia on some business and were headed out. They were asked names and locations, and they gave the following:

• Salxius
• "Tiny Dancer" - Gunther
• "Kevin Landaverde" - Rupert
• Nigel Soveliss

From there, they stayed at Nigel's temple for the night.

Tracking the Ribbit

The Plot Thickens

In the morning, they made way to the Sunk’n Norwegian to meet with Red Tunic. Upon inspection, they discovered he was dead, to the same wound that killed MacGuff. In his pocket was a pawn shop check for 5gp to the same Emporium. Nigel informed the tavern keep of the dead body and the party took a day to rest, recover, and research.

The following day, (the 1st Nessan), they found out the location of the Emporium Pawn shop in the Galls and made way there. Along the way, they were stopped by Feathercasket and a handful of Kenku, who offered them a reward if they could rid the Big McRibbit. The Kenku gave a location to find him after the Ribbit was dealt with.

The Path to the Ribbit

When they found the Emporium, a simple plan was hatched to break in: Nigel would disguise himself as an old lady redeeming the 5gp item, and badger the employee while Gunther and Salxius snuck through the back. Through careful attentiveness, they managed to enter through the back without the employee noticing, and Gunter knocked out the "disguised" toadstool behind the counter.

From there, the party went down a trapdoor leading to the sewers, where they came across a trapped hallway full of muddy and murky sewage carrying bear traps within... Flames erupted from the torches and got some of the party in the process. Sal got a really gnarly cut in one of the bear traps, but eventually they got through it. Nigel avoided the trap entirely with his new slippers.

After this venture, they made their way to the lair of the Big McRibbit, where battle was commenced. In the lair were large spores that were highlighted to be Gas Spore Fungi, capable of infecting individuals and killing them within hours. In the battle, Rupert inhaled a spore and was beginning to feel a big sick from the spore burst.

However, as McRibbit was nearly escaped, he was felled by a burst of power from Nigel, dying in a blast of bright light as he tried to swim away.

Session ended on the 1st Nessan of Palesun around noon.
