Interlude - Part 2

So ends the Second part of the "Rise of the Runelords" adventure path called "Skinsaw Murders". James Paladin Budwar has died and James will be playing a new character, a dwarven Eldritch Knight that belong to the "Order of the Black Arrows", a ranger group that protect a remote area from Ogres and Giants. His background will have a huge part in the next chapter, "Hook Mountain Massacre"

The party is now 7th or 8th level:

Xantumal - 7th Level Druid of Gozreh
Preacher - 7th Level Cleric of Pharasma
Phain - 4th Level Sorcerer/ 4th Level Rogue
Khazen Dren - 1st Level Ranger/5th Level Wizard/2nd Level Eldritch Knight

The group found a journal in Ironbriar's office:

Ironbriar used his position as Justice to cover up the Cult of Norgorber's murders as well as give them inside information on what the authorities were doing. His journal makes it clear enough that someone he refers to as the “Wanton of Nature’s Pagan Forms” has stolen his heart and provided him with a new method of murder, the Sihedron ritual. He involved Aldern in the ritual after he turned undead.

The ledger also indicates that Ironbriar has received payment from a group called the Red Mantis for delivery of “Vorel’s Legacy”, a fungus that was harvested from Foxglove Manor which was sent to the sinister group of assassins based in Cheliax.

They also found a note in the clock tower:

My dearest Xanesha!

I am so proud of what you are doing in Magnimar, with your band of murderers bringing souls to our Lord, fueling his awakening! Soon enough, Magnimar will be a much nicer place, with all of its greed sucked dry.

My plans are proceeding nicely up here in Turtleback Ferry. You wouldn’t think that greed could take a foothold in such a desolate area, but when you provide people with just a bit of hope for a better life, it is amazing how their greed rises to the top.

The only obstacle to my plans is Fort Rannick, but that will be taken care of shortly. Then nothing will stand in the way of our Lord coming back to life!

Soon, we shall be reunited and our Lord will begin his glorious reign over all of Golarion!

Lucrecia
