Session Twelve

  • The plan goes great, until it doesn't
  • Cultists have STATS, y'all
  • Paper Birds fly at ~7 m/h
  • Griffons fly faster than that.
  • Jalester is Baffled and Dismayed

During their lengthy planning session in the abandoned Undercliff barn, Nedria and Beatrice penned and sent off a paper bird with a brief explanation of their current predicament, addressed to Jalester Silvermane. That sent, the group prepared to ambush the cult of the Merciless Glove of the Six-Fingered Hand.

Despite a few unpleasant surprises, the party clearly outmatched the cultists. A well-aimed glow bomb courtesy of Solaris downed several of their opponents—including the cult’s ringleader Vilhelm Price—but before the group could settle things once and for all, aerial reinforcements arrived.

Jalester, accompanied by two Griffon Cavalry riders, appeared just in time to see a cultist die, and the next half hour was spent tying up the rest and attempting to explain the course of events that had led to this particular outcome. The evidence presented by the party—including the flayed-off skin of Basil Mureal—was enough to convince him of the veracity of their account, and he escorted them back into Waterdeep for the night with the caveat that he would be accompanying them to give a full report at Castle Waterdeep the following morning.
