Hook

Whispers of the Deep VII (Foe'vadi, Jearn)

Plot Synopsis

Party then decides to sleep after the neighborhood cookout. They rest before they sneak into the sewers through the local sewer headquarters before quickly tracing their path and using cartography to find the previously found entrance to the sewers under the central government building. They wait there for several hours, getting up to shenanigans involving liquid gold.

They then split up, with Erling and Nemu heading outside to return to be 'ambushed' by the cultists. Tempest, Ilona, and Atirathi went and hid in the streets to return after group 1 went with the cultists. The rest of the party waited in the sewers to come up when given a signal.

After a few hours, the cultists arrived and a few minutes later, the first of the people who had taken the infected taco's from the 'neptunians.' Erling and Nemu quickly went inside, where they were ushered into the secret room under the government building. After listening to the cultists talk, they then told everyone to close their eyes and imagine what they would do with the gold (the pretense of a lottery to draw in people). They then cast sleeping spells on everyone. Erling, did not realize he was supposed to be asleep and they repeatedly cast spells on him before gathering around confused, not sure what to do. They stared at him as he and them tried to work out a deal before one of the cultists pulled out a knife covered in some sort of gel and wanted to stab him.

Party quickly began maneuvering into position before heading down, despite combat not yet starting due to the confusion of both Erling and the Neptunians at the awkward situation. After combat began, one of the cultists threw off his cloak and revealed himself as an abyssling that started spouting obviously repeated promotional messages. Then a large group of abysslings broke through a wall into the room. Quickly, after several rounds, combat was over and party was victorious.
