Recap
The party pursued leads from Ortagar Stitch-Skull regarding the poisoning at Old Erghaghs Farm, tracked the Bone Shards to a hideout in the meat market district, and forced answers from gang members amid escalating internal party tension.
Major Events
- Attempted to send Mobby’s remains to the McMobbersons, but banks were closed and no shipment could be processed.
- Sabong collected a vial of water from the graveyard pool.
- Met at The Empty Threshold to discuss Ortagar’s letter to Berline.
- The party was received by Ygefkha and brought to Ortagar Stitch-Skull, who was torturing a captive.
- During this meeting, Sabong hid the vial of graveyard pool water in an inconspicuous location.
- Over dinner, Ortagar revealed information extracted from Dakramat: poisoning at Old Erghaghs Farm had been planned by Bone Shards.
- Ortagar provided the location of a Bone Shards hideout in Meat Market District.
- At the hideout, the party found chained skeletons; an alarm was raised and zombie hands swarmed.
- The party fought through camp resistance including two goons and Sahreg.
- Sahreg was subdued and questioned. He reported the gang was recently taken over by Kepgeda.
- Sahreg described Kepgeda as searching for a key with a shaft in the shape of a curved spine, though he did not know its origin or destination.
- Sahreg also described violent punishment under Kepgeda, including skin flaying and processing victims into “gook.”
- After internal dispute over whether to recruit Sahreg, Sabong killed him.
