Plot Synopsis
We talked to the various people imprisoned in the dungeon
there was a priest of Prism’s court that Anako knew of, named Peyton, who had been held hostage for ransom (came from a well to do family)
There was a member of a prestigious shipwright family (the Finchy family) who was also held for ransom, she thinks her family line is “cursed” to always personally know the new iteration of the god of travel.
There was a dwarf that worked for the MIA, who was being held for magic items. He refused to give them up and lost his eye because of it (he seems ok with this exchange)
There was a tiefling named Honor who came from the Sapphire Seafarers, she was being interrogated for “childhood tales” about someone named The Architect, who her clan sees as the only one true god and creator. Also, they asked a lot about the Flooding War.
We then waited for a few minutes as the Druids caused a distraction, rolled a few luck checks, and went upstairs after we heard people had left. There was only one person left up there, a priest of a forbidden chaos and darkness deity. We were able to corner him, and instead of letting himself get captured/questioned, he threw himself at Fera’s blade and died, getting dragged into the Underworld (one of them probably) by spectral skeletal hands.
Anako found the stairs and we rushed up there after regrouping, and found Garvin Grieves locked in a bedroom-converted-to-prison cell. He was on deaths door already and we started to question him as Nico shoved all the papers and documents he saw into the bag of storage. We found out he was a higher up member of the Cult of the Eclipse, dedicated to tearing down the “false gods” that currently exist. Specifically he said that Aelfric caused the Flooding War, and that the world needed to be destroyed to be created anew. He also revealed that he was betrayed by Leilatha, who imprisoned him here in his current state (he was meant to lead the cult, but Leilatha seems to have other plans). All of the big players of the Cult are supposed to be at the Starfall on the Mountain. Anako kept questioning him about Aelfric and The Architect and Anako killed him as he kept spouting sacrilege—which caused a small explosion of force, before we saw a spectral projection of a person. Fera touched it, and it seemed to get sucked into her before she fell unconscious. She woke up soon after, and we grabbed Garvin’s body, his stuff, a bunch of gold, and then torched the place as we escaped back through the tunnel.
