Highlights
- Dealing with the aftermath of Dior's death
What really happened
After their first encounter with the Black Spider, Dior was infected with the rotworm spores and subsequently died. Then came back but not quite undead. They could see through his eyes that he was in there, but his body was beyond control.
As the team rushes him to the nearest major town for medical assistance, in a lovely rented cart, and Dior turns Anima runs him through. Cold, and beyond the pain the situation causes her she runs the family scimitar through Dior to end his misery. The team discusses where/how to bury him, and resolves to go to Dahrinmoor to use the larger city's facilities. Anima lays the sword on her lap, unsheathed, and stays with her father's body for the rest of the ride.
As they travel, they make sure to safely preserve the body (did they just invent rubber?).
Riding the Triboar trail, the wagon comes across a large group of people. It's the caravan that was rescued from the gnoll attack. Since the groups split on mixed terms, the crew waves tentatively. Sari approaches with a friendly smile on her face.
They start chatting, mentioning that the crew convinced them to return for more supplies before heading back to Faladun. Jared, the group member who was/is possessed by the evil god Yeonogu, wants to go to the desert instead. They'll be going to Luftvaffendale after Dahrinmoor to re-supply and head off. Wymar remembers that we've got the evil magic skull and suggests we move on. Instead, he notices a new girl in the crowd, named Olia. After a mediocre Insight check (10 by Jordan), we determine she's on the level.
Zoop offers to use a newly learned spell, Create Food and Water. She plans to feed the crowd a blandly nutritious meal, which coincidentally has a mild aphrodisiac effect, which Wymar can then use Prestidigitation to properly season. Sari gathers people, they put together some tables and start the feast. Zoop adds a quick blessing and everyone tucks in.
Bellack challenges Jared to arm-wrestle, and loses the first round. They switch to left arms and several rolls later, wins the round. Everyone cheers!
