Recap
After finishing the underwater fight, the party moved quickly through recovery, planning, and influence steps in Sallowshore before public fear responses escalated around their anti-Sahni campaign.
Major Events
- Finished the underwater battle, recovered the keystone objective, and returned to Stana with a potion intended to help Blavket.
- Asked Stana to help locate blueprints to Sahni Bride-of-the-Sea‘s lair.
- Monty helped forge the original letter from Iron Taviah, adding “Lixl” alongside “Sallow Shore” and “Sandhi of the Sea.”
- Heard additional rumors that Geb is returning and focusing more directly on how Geb is ruled, with less tolerance for blood-lord prying.
- Stana located basic blueprints to Sahni’s lair.
- The party was approached by an angry group of townsfolk who said targeting Sahni would be bad for the town.
- Party read the crowd as mostly afraid of backlash rather than specifically pro-Sahni.
- Planned next step: Sabong to attempt direct reasoning/intimidation pressure against the townsfolk.
NPCs and Factions Mentioned
- Stana - Received the keystone/potion return and produced basic lair blueprints.
- Blavket - Potion support target after prior curse-sickness findings.
- Sahni Bride-of-the-Sea - Continued target of investigation, forgery pressure, and local conflict.
- Iron Taviah - Source of the original letter used in the forgery step.
- Geb - Subject of renewed governance rumors influencing local political tension.
- Sallowshore - Immediate social-pressure environment and site of anti-Sahni backlash concerns.
Important Context
- The party is using both intelligence gathering and document manipulation to shape positioning before direct confrontation.
- Town-level fear is now an active obstacle even when opposition is not explicitly pro-Sahni.
- Rumors about Geb’s increased governance attention may amplify risk for local actors and factions.
Unresolved Threads
- Confirm whether the potion and keystone recovery materially improves Blavket’s condition.
- Validate accuracy and completeness of the basic lair blueprints Stana provided.
- Determine how to manage townsfolk fear without losing initiative against Sahni.
- Execute and assess Sabong’s planned next-step address to the townsfolk.
