Bounty Hunters - Session 6
Notes
Finally getting to rest after the long chase/escape the party settled down for the evening and about 2 hours later Anto who was on watch heard company approaching. A group of cultists fell upon the tired party and then fell to the party. One of the more senior cultists was captured.
Then for real, the party got to sleep.
After waking up mostly refreshed the polite interrogation of the captured cultists commenced with some friendly conversation over breakfast.
Mostly the party gets lots of religious platitudes, but it becomes clear that this particular Alexandrian cult is based around their lady of blood who is enthroned in Nia-Agliare. Additionally, we learn that there are three upper level bosses of the cult based in Wydmoor.
- Drakaar the Mosite
- Katalin the Blood Scribe
- Wan-wu of the West
- This is the one we have met, the shapeshifter
We also learned that when Wan-Wu requested reinforcements they were teleported to here from Nia-Agliare.
Therunin margin notes: at least several people at a time from x miles away...
- a single cast can transport the caster and up to 8 people, probably using scrolls so as not to teleport the caster
- The caster must know the location somewhat or have an object to target so it's likey Wan-Wu had some way of communicating more than just a rough message back to base or has a target object.
- Given the challenge of targeting so precisely it would almost certainly have to be a target object.
Continued to intersect the trail and followed it to the shallow grave of the bounty hunter who had 250gp and an empty leaded book case with the mark of the library on it. This is also where the trail ends. Note: 250gp is not of interest to our cultists.
The party decides it was likely that this bounty hunter was paid off to lay a false trail for Eurasmus.
