Session 25: Die Latsio

Florian takes the first watch of the night.

Teel dreams that he’s an endless-pit supervisor for Blacklung. He looks over its poor workers, and is served refreshments by a young slave boy. He’s paid well, and ‘can get used to this’. “It’s whipping time!” echoes out. Fifty workers stumble their way over, back turned towards Teel. Teel hesitates as one of them turns to look at him; Cullen. The old dwarf calls him a traitor, and Teel drops his whip.

Triandra ‘wakes up’ within an eerie dream. As far as she can see, people lay dead in the streets of the Sootworks. It feels different from her usual dreams. Less introspective, mores… a premonition, perhaps? In the distance, there stands a silhouette.

Nearing the end of his shift, Flroian hears wheezing upstairs. He goes to check, and finds Triandra struggling in her sleep. He wakes her. Triandra tells him of a cat at the start of her dream, eating peoples faces. This gives Florian the heebies. The night-shifts continue. Alkaline wakes Navëd at the end of her shift, and tells them she chose to wake them because she’s anxious regarding Teel. Navëd attempts to give her some reassurance before taking on the last shift. The rest of the night goes by calmly.

The group discusses Triandra's dream in the morning. Florian's hashbrown endeavours are unsuccessful, so the party heads out to eat breakfast. Around the Riff-Raff Tavern, Teel tells the group about his vague plans and the list of names that he’s supposed to pick up from Cullen. The group joins him in fetching the list. The black cat with a white spot is spotted in a tree, giving Florian the jeebies. At arrival, Teel discovers Cullen's home to be abandoned and suspiciously tidy. Florian finds a speck of blood. Touching the blood, Navëd is given a vision of Cullen's last moments. This shows them where to find the list of names, and they get out of there.

Next, they go searching for butcheries to sabotage. They find two, and Alkaline is sent in to scout out both of them. First one is driven by two struggling goblins and is considered a dud. Second one seems more promising, and Alkaline buys a single slice of gabagool for her sandwich. The party decides to wait ‘til night to hit. So they head back to Lumerik’s to wait out the day.
However, at Lumerics they find the door unlocked. Alkaline readies her boomstick, and the group enters. Inside, they find someone awaiting them in the livingroom. A human with dark hair and a strand of white.
