NIGHTWICK ABBEY: The Purple Eater of People Session 105

 

I'm giving a bit shorter report these days for Nightwick in an effort to make them more timely. If these horrid halls of Nightwick Abbey call to you, then please join Miranda Elkins' Patreon!

Previously in Nightwick... well not exactly because that was previously, previously. Previously the party went after Ulf's missing magic items that he lost being drunk and something, something about a hag cult and bandits. The party ran across a family of silvian giants which promptly killed what's-her-face the hiring with a thrown rock. Eventually, the party prevailed and a deal was worked out with the most senior groan to be addressed later. With a little help from "The-Thing-In-His-Pocket", the party identified the location of Ulf's stuff by busting up a hag cult. And I am glossing over the part where half the party got charmed. [Edit: Our scribe has returned, here is the full accounting of session 104]

Now that you are caught up...this week's adventurers:

Blossom (Rogue 6)
Mayfly (Magician 6)
Sir Uein (Fighter 6)
Liminal Space (Changeling 5)
Thekla (Magician 5)
Krupe (Cleric 5)
Poppy (Fighter 4)
Pataki (Rogue 1)
Zintra (Changling 1)

AT THE MEDUSA'S HEAD...

The party assembled once again at the best bar in Nightwick Village. While most of the party was resting and preparing for the upcoming delve Mafly and Thekla sought enlightenment in different way. Mayfly learned that the local bogdani are whispering stories of two enormous bears and dog-headed bandits are pillaging in the fog-bound forest. And Thekla after a week of intense research seemingly cursed herself to be attractive to insects.

"WAIT! There are fly-people on the Abbey's 4th level! Does that mean you'll rule the fly people?"

...DOWN IN NIGHTWICK...

• The party is briefly stymied by a tripped trap that creates a small impassable pool of acid on the 3rd level route to the 4th floor- Sir Uein, currently wielder of Dinhron, consults his maps and is able to sort everything out.
• Once on the 4th floor the party decides, to stay away from the flies and their master for the sake of Thekla.
• At the "Fountain of Human Excretions", the party has to deal with vampiric mists and are rewarded for the effort with new party member Pitaki, dung farmer, fishing out a small locked box (aww yeah that's the shit).
• The party travels south only to get into a fight with fly-folk anyway and once victorious the party turns south to explore a little more but decides to leave given the spells casters' high-level spells were depleted.

...A RETURN TO THE VILLAGE

In total the party ended up with something like 1900 silver after it the locked box was found to contain platinum coins! And a nice thing about fly-folk is their insides are full of gold. In all it was as shorter trip, but we've had far, far worse delves.
