Chapter 3, II: Part of the Flock

Cartographer - Darwin Fox

    Written by Justin

Jules gives us everything she has on the Glimmer and Chuck Shuck

Miterachi Industries in Blightjay is involved, run by a beautiful, woman named Morrigan Rowan

Miterachi sounds familiar to Mews, spider stuff?

Rezna sends Jules a sending??

He told her to proceed with the shipment as planned

We are going to Old Carracosta, Jules is going to find a boat for us

Old elven man wearing church of the creators vestments' as he walks over to the table, he is the Flockfather, a woman (Camilla) translates for his weird talking

He offers us a ride to Dreigull, insight checks show he is being genuine

He is heading to the R+D center for Brawlmart on Dreigull. The church of the 6th have taken over the research center and taken employees hostage there

Church of the 6th are fanatical and have harmed people

The Flockfather is effectively the pope of this world

Guy has met the Flockfather once before, on a Frostwane about 200 years ago

We agree to go on their boat, some of us fake our names

We get a long rest

We go down to the harbor and there is a small fishing ship and a big boat called "The Imprint"

Artemi is working on jewelcrafting

Mews is familiarizing themself with the ship/doing zoomies

I go to check our cargo to make sure it hasn't been tampered with. There is also a chest addressed to magistrate Rezna

The room off the galley I'm not allowed in is a special suite with a guest who is unknown to the guy I talked to, I gave him 10 gp and asked him to let me know if he finds anything out about who is staying there

Mews is running around successfully, but the sailors are watching her closely

Victoro leaves a note on Artemi's bed "Rezna was here"

I run into another tiefling named Wesley. We talk about our ancestries and stuff. He's a bit religious which weirds me out. He has also heard a voice talk to him in times of need

Nyx goes up to the deck and has a climbing contest with Mews and Victoro

Guy is taking action on the competition

Mews wins the climbing contest, I pull Artemi aside for a conversation

I let Artemi know his brother is still here

Victoro heard the Flockfather only comes out of his room for two reasons, to eat or to give service

Discuss possibly going into the Flockfather's room when he's not there.

Discuss whether Artemi should be alone in his room

Artemi goes to his room and finds the note, he insights the note and realizes Victoro wrote it

I try to endear myself to some of the crew so that in the event of something popping off they will maybe stay neutral

Mews is sleeping up top

Nyx trying to stealth downstairs, he goes towards the prison cell, there is a woman who is curled up on a bale of hay, wearing a black cloak that is dirty and tattered, humanoid person, probably an elf, they are sleeping currently

Nix against all odds get to the cargo without being seen. He pops open Rezna's crate, the entire first level is just capsules of Glimmer

Long rest is had

Much debate around what to do with the Glimmer

We are going to throw it into a bag of holding, it's going okay but then Mews drops one of the vials and it breaks

While the sermon is ongoing Victoro, Artemi and Nix try to break into the Flockfather's room with the help of Jules

They get in no problem

Artemi, unlocked chest, fine women's clothing, and a necklace

Victoro, Bible of the church of the creators, picture of a baby tucked into the pages, and a strange note tucked into the last pages

Nix, at the desk, religious vestments, tithing pouch with 5000 gp inside, in one of the pockets of the vestments another note

Guy listening to the service

Thank you everyone for coming today and joining me on this wonderful and glorious day, praise be to Materhawk, to Roost, to all of you who are here today, journey has been met with ease, no signs of ill weather, will continue to pray for an easy voyage all the way to Carracosta. Thanks Guy for being at the service, thanks us for helping out.

I interrogate the prisoner for the guards as a distraction, I learn that they use a pendant at her cult spot to get past the Glimmer bombs. Mews and I somehow contain the explosion a little bit, it only blows up UP

The flockfather gang finds more stuff in his room, including the recipe for Glimmer

Artemi tries to clean up the room, the bed is extremely clean to the point of it being weird

Guy is bringing the Flockfather down to the hold

How close are they to bringing the Malcrow back

Do not speak her name, you know nothing of the mother

Guy notices the baby in the picture has a birthmark on the side of its jaw, same birthmark that Victoro has on his jaw

Watches go without incident, we head up to the boat approaching a beach, the vibes have changed. People moving around with purpose and gusto

Wesley is already on the beach, holding what looks like a blade in his hand

CJ Brawlton and Camilla approach us on the beach, CJ seems genuinely happy to see us

Idea of the 6th God is relatively recent, church of the sixth grew out of that belief, sounds like what we're being told about it might be a "the winners write the history" sort of situation

Artemi takes the prisoner to use her in negotiations

Victoro sees a leg behind a rock

Pile of bodies behind a rock in dark robes, clearly church of the sixth robes

Everyone else heads to the facility, I don't trust these fuckers so I cast Fly on myself and head to the Flockfather's bedroom

He isn't there, I Return to the group

We give the echo the necklace and he makes it to the door

We make it into the building

A bunch of church of the sixth assholes start shit, we try to talk to them, combat ensues

Enemy spellcaster blows up a bunch of her own guys, combat pause until next time!
