Recap
The party finished clearing hostile forces in the Crooked Coffin back area, discovered detained witnesses and unusual zombie conditions, and then provoked a new threat while probing foul beer-production infrastructure.
Major Events
- Finished the back-room fight from the prior session; no party deaths occurred.
- Confirmed the environment remained extremely unsanitary (“something gross within”).
- Found a prisoner in a rear cell: Se-Maut-Get.
- Se-Maut-Get stated they came to visit their cousin and prior brewery owner, Ombteg.
- Se-Maut-Get also stated they were investigating rising food prices.
- Se-Maut-Get identified as affiliated with Celebrants.
- The party released Se-Maut-Get from the cell.
- In another nearby cell, several zombies were present (including one playing music).
- Deeper in the area, the party found foul-smelling beer vats.
- Namerton was sent to investigate the vats, after which oozes emerged and attacked.
NPCs and Factions Mentioned
- Namerton - Sent to inspect vats before ooze emergence.
- Se-Maut-Get - Freed prisoner tied to Ombteg and food-price investigation.
- Ombteg - Named as cousin of Se-Maut-Get and previous brewery owner.
- Celebrants - Se-Maut-Get identified as working for this faction.
Important Context
- Crooked Coffin operations may be connected to both factional intelligence gathering and food-market disruption.
- The state of the vats suggests contamination risk beyond normal spoilage.
Unresolved Threads
- Identify source and purpose of the oozes in brewery infrastructure.
- Verify Se-Maut-Get’s full reliability and objectives.
- Confirm Ombteg’s status and role in ownership transfer history.
- Determine how brewery issues tie into broader food-price instability.
