Hook

A Cult by Any Other Name - 6 (Devon, Geleia)

Plot Synopsis

With the conflict on the beach coming to a close, the party heeds Rilo's warning and vacates the area as he dispatches the abysslings in the water. Osyka, Vulvennar, and Epharim approach the shore as the sounds of conflict die. The steam cloud created by the altercation fades to reveal Rilo missing and a small fiery dog left barking out into the sea. The party meets Rilo's fire hound named Phish and ask for his assistance in hunting down Rilo's next location. While searching, Phish spots a random individual making a run for the trees from the beach. The party gives chase but losses the individual in the frees, unable to identify the person.

Returning to the shack, the party is greeted to 80 remaining civilians, all in various levels of shock and grief from the interrupted sermon. Vulvennar, Zaphani, and Epharim depart to locate Yennen's study while Osyka remain to help prepare breakfast for everyone still remaining. While helping prepare the meal, they discuss with another citizen the current situation, finding a common footing and the individual admitting that they, along with others, no longer feel safe here. Osyka succeeds in convincing about half of the people to give leaving a shot, regardless of if they return to their families or not.

Vulvrnnar, Epharim, and Zaphani find Yennen's study and search the place for anything useful in locating Rilo. They discover a secret entrance under Yennen's desk down into a subterranean structure, the nature of it unknown. Returning back to everyone else, they all share in a communal breakfast before escorting those that wish to leave to Devon and Lulanya. Receiveing payment for what they have done so far, the party spends the time shopping and stocking up before making for the decent down.
