Lonesome Wanderings, Session 60

 In which Badger...

  • Returns to Sandpoint to investigate some murders for the sheriff.
  • Gets assaulted by and knocks out Ven Vinder, the father of Shayliss his ex-lover, when investigating as he finds out she has been missing for 3 years and he thought she was with Badger.
  • Visits Dr. Habe's sanitorium and discovers a ghoul threat in a manor to the south - and causes Dr. Habe to panic and to start tracking him down with a necromancer associate.
  • Heads south to the farmlands and learns of various ghoul attacks in the area.
  • Creates a trap and blows up a bunch of ghouls in a barn, mopping up the others in the farmlands.
  • Arrives at the manor, owned by a noble he'd met once Aldern Foxglove, and starts to investigate.
  • Gets attacked by one Gorvii, and orc streetsweep who'd previously been humiliated by Badger and was seeking revenge.
  • Knocks out Gorvii, but on the way out the orc get burnt by a trap and dies, forcing Badger to dump the body.
  • Heads deeper into the manor and comes across 2 other adventurer friends Ameiko and Shalelu, who are also investigating the house, and joins them in looking for a revenant who had wandered beneath the house.
  • Investigates and discovers an underground basement tunnel network.
  • In the tunnel network is attacked by a masked woman, who is knocked out and revealed to be Shayliss, who has taken the identity of Shroud, a vigilante also investigating the house.
  • Depositing Shayliss outside for safety, continues to investigate the house. 
  • Gets paralyzed with the other two by a ghoul trap set by Dr. Habe and his associate, who start tying them up.
  • The noise attracts a contingent of other ghouls, molds, rats, and ghasts to the area who attack Dr. Habe and his associate.
  • As chaos breaks out the party becomes unparalyzed and runs upstairs to hide - but Shalelu is not fast enough and dies, beset upon by ghouls. 
  • Badger and Ameiko prepare and throw molotovs and mop up the survivors, essentially clearing the tunnels.
  • Continue ahead and find the revenant killing Aldern, who was in fact a ghast himself it is revealed.
  • Let the revenant finish the job, and then die herself her purpose fulfilled.
  • Loot all the corpses and the rest of the house and take off to deliver Shayliss back to her father and sell their treasure.
  • Badger heads back to his keep to learn of a strange "Dark Humor" sickness that came and went when he was gone, but which nonetheless did not hurt his keeps burgeoning population.
