Return of Father Osmium

After making their way out of the mines of the Cay, the party had found themselves admist total destruction and Chaos.
The city had begun to sink into the expansive caverns that have been mined out by the city over decades of mining efforts.

Steve had chased Father Osmiums myst to a vessel parked in the courtyard of a gated Manor. After casting invisibility, both Steve and his story abruptly became unknown to the world.
With many of the women and children of the cay safely secured on the Hemmingway, the Guard Campus is struggling to corral the citizens who made it out of the city before its collapse. Othmoore is seen just on the shore of the Cay speaking with a pair of individuals, one a large humanoid in a heavy cloak and the other is the frail frame of Gormleigh.
The once dark orange cloud of smog that hung over the city has now begun to rise beyond the walls of the city, the cloud growing lighter in color as it begins to rise and slowly disperse above the high mountainous walls of the city.
The adventurers sit safely off shore, only a dozen or so yards - as the rowboats return and begin to collect the survivors from the city. As the guards begin to collect the people from the Hemmingway, a familiar pair of faces board the vessel, Lieutenant Turiel joined by Guard Von-Watcher.

They bring a bag of gold and platinum - roughly 1500 gold pieces.
"Lieutenant Turiel engages the party with a solid: "Evening all, we've spoken with Gormleigh about the Wyrm and the man behind the cities destruction - she ensured us that you've dealt with them moments before the city fell. Shame you did not arrive sooner, perhaps this could all have been avoided had we'd been better informed; Luckily most of the Guards Campus was left undamaged, however the collapse of the mines and flooding of the forges has crippled our cities ability to continue to produce the steel and adamantine so you'll understand your reward is not greater, not as of yet."   He also expresses that Gormleigh is looking to speak to them on the shore with the giant fellow.
