19th of Eleasis


The group was enjoying breakfast at the inn and reviewing the planned activities of the day. Nevil and the boys go to investigate the cultist leader’s home

Tali and her team will account for home.

Atalaya and Cirili go back to the ship.

Nevil gives Cirilli her +1 mace

The team goes to the house. Boz unlocks the door while Nevil guards the back door.

They enter the house not seeing anyone they enter. Sorrow loses his mind and sits at the piano to begin playing.the team grumbles at his blunder. Boz begins to inspect the living room, Nevil looks in the back windows and enters the back door to find the kitchen. A lit stove and a kettle and scraps of food preparation adorn the kitchen surfaces.

The men come to their senses and begin to help clear the room. Nevil opens the bedroom door. Inman opens the bathroom door. The house appears empty but the team looks in bureaus, behind curtains, under tables, etc.

Worried that the owner will return, Nevil watches the back yard and Inman watches the front. Boz begins to search the bedroom. The desk contains a ring and a money pouch. Boz rolls so well with the lock picking he notices a hidden compartment. He rolls to detect traps and finds one. He uses his new psi abilities to read the history of the desk. He learns that Zarius had placed the items in the desk and protected them magically. The group decides to make a pilageing pile for the boat. Mostly to let inman rest and study to dispel magic but of course to restock the ship. Sorrow loots books and music sheets.

The group discovers a secret part of the house down the hallway. A key in a potted plant opens a secret door. This leads into a red lit summoning glyph, a small altar, and a very large glass globe.

Of two side rooms, one is a storeroom with a desk. The chests contain magic manacles, whips, and gray cloaks. The second room contains three prisoners, a priestess, a sgt, and a half elf guardsman. They can not speak. Boz unlocks the manacles and the sgt explains they were taken by cultists the night before. However, only a little while ago, a fourth member and some children were taken by cultists. Nevil asks if the two men can take the unconscious cleric back to the bbq joint where the townsfolk are gathering. They ask if their weapons were found. The group explains that shortswords were located behind the altar. Sorrow returns them to the prisoners after speculation that they might be cursed…

The group take the lanterns
