We leave the temple, the sky is still cloudy with imagery of skulls. We begin the walk home to Alexandria. As we journey nature is quiet. We come across a Tiefling on the road, she is looking around as if looking for something. We approach and they notice we came from the direction of the explosion. We have a discussion with her, her name is Astryx, she is from a grove journeying alone searching for someone. Mainly journeying at night. She is a circle of stars druid. Orlans full name if Orlan Saint John. Steve asks her to turn into a bear. Steve is impressed. We get to Alexandria and go to The Lucky Griffin. There's a human sitting in the middle of the Sordia Vignti booth. Quintin asks Ellette to not cause a fuss. She throws an ice knife between his feet. She tells him to get his feet off the table. He gets sassy and asks for a drink. Is a pink drink. He starts to cry feeling the collective pain of the groups damaged. He mentions killing a war hero from Baldurs gate who was killed off from Baldurs Gate. The human then calls Steve a goblin. Ellette will tell big guy Fizzle walks over giggling asking if the party wants more. Orlan Astryx and Kyo ask for a potion. Grey cloudy - Kyo - Body becomes grey flames Iridescent - Orlan - glitter puking glitter everywhere but he's now colourblind White - Astryx - She looses the ability to speak she can only speak with echo of bird noises Quintin gives Ellette a letter from Isolde advising of some bandits attacking caravans on the eastern roadways from Isolde. Cedric explains he was recently freed from an Oubliette that was broken when Kalteo in neverwinter. He wants revenge. He's wanted and on his own. Steve asks about Cedrics weapon on choice and he presses the button on his lute to reveal axe features. Orlan keeps speaking and spewing glitter everywhere. Ellette drinks the blue potion Fizzle give her, her skin turns into a dark blue and her body turns into a puddle. Orlan dispells magic. She is no longer a puddle but her skin is still dark blue and itchy. The group have dinner together Steve and Astrxy speak in whoots to each other. They are introduced to various locals. Big guy tests Cedrics strenght to pick up the hammer. We invite Astrxy and Cedric to stay in the keep. Wen stares at Cedric. She punches him in the knee. The meep walks up to Astryx and stares. She introduces herself. He gives her bacon. She eats it. Rasp comes up to them and Ellette introduces them. Erin runs up to Astryx and asks her how she likes to read in Druidic. They have a brief conversation and Erin mentions knowing the stars speak to her. Moggy the chef goblin goes up to Cedric and asks dietary restrictions "Peanuts" Boggin walks up and tries to claim Steve beats him, Ellette threatens him with Vargath he then steals Moggys favourite laddel. Steve has to run after him. Cedric gets a pickle put in his pocket Yab gets told off and runs away. Astryx notices Tib working on mending clothes and asks him to fix her scarf. He gives her a suit too small it would only fit a bird. We go for long rest. In the morning we then meet in the main fall for breakfast. Cedric gets pickled again. Middle tries to steal Astryx gold. Orlan blows Kyos cover being the Velvet Reaper We leave and head towards the bandit camp on the eastern road. Tall walls surrounding. This is where the cultists and missing bodies have been found. The area seems to have been destroyed to build the camp. Ellette uses arcane eye to scout out the area. Explains layout to inside to party. The party puts together a plan. Astryx summons a boar and kyo kicks it over the wall. Astryx gets the boar to run into the middle of the camp and distract some of the bandits and the boar runs straight into a stack of what looks like canon balls. The balls don't move and Astryx heres a clunk. The party beefs up Steve, Kyo giving her extra arms, Ellette giving haste, Steve casting enlarge with her wedding ring and begins to attack the gate breaking it. She then runs in and begins swinging her hammer. Orlan walks in and blows up the barrels destroying the wall hurting himself and Steve. Theres a fight, two people are kept alive for questioning. Orlan and Astryx take a look at the balls. They seem like heavy concrete balls in a "Ghost" fashion. There is no magic in the balls. Kyo talks to his lad and wraps his whip around the humans wrist, it starts to burn. Unholy. Human says he don't talk. Kyo takes out nails, he nails it into his hand using the whip. The man starts preying, its a prayer to Vecna. Kyo's torture works. There's people hidden here, underground. The priests don't explain what the organs are for. We open the latch to underground part.
