Session 21 - Assault on the Seven's Sawmill

Toilday Lamashan 15 around 8pm

After scouting out the sawmill for another day, the group sent the druid in to scout. Turning into a mouse, he snuck in and observed a bunch of the workers in cultists masks. The group now knew that the workers were in on the murders.

Leaving Hogie outside to guard the basement door, the group stormed in. As they moved up the floors they killed off all the cultists they found. Budwar and Orik reached the top floor where there were more cultists, their leader, and a flesh golem that looked like a scarecrow carrying a scythe. Orik charged into the frey and took heavy damage from the scarecrow. As he backed off, Preacher came in and healed him while Budwar tried to make his way to the leader. Preacher took a heavy hit from the scarecrow and fell unconscious. Xantumal him fall and rushed to his aid but also took a fatal hit from the scarecrow. Orik fell victim to a spell from the leader and ran down the stairs. Budwar healed Preacher and went to battle with the Scarecrow. Phain managed to get behind the battle to challenge the leader. The leader cast a spell and disappeared, but Phain was ready with a scroll that made him reappear. The leader used his strange mask powers to try and confuse Phain, but Phain shook off the effects and killed him. Budwar and Preacher managed to kill the Scarecrow.

Unmasking the leader they found out it was Justice Ironbriar. They found a journal of his that was in code. They decided to get the Lord Mayor involved so he would know that Ironbriar was corrupt and so they wouldn't get blamed for his death. They put his head into the interrogation cage and found out some information on the cult. They also found out that he was taking order from some woman in a clock tower.

Wealday Lamashan 16 around 6am

After having the Magnimar guard secure the sawmill, they searched it thoroughly. They found a rookery with 3 crows in it. Knowing it could be a clue to finding the clock tower, they fed the birds and went to the church of Torag to see about bring their friend back to life. The spell to bring him back would be expensive, as was the spells needed to restore some of the abilities he would lose, but they pooled enough money to do it.

Wealday Lamashan 16 around 11am

That day the druid talked to the birds and they knew the location to the clock tower. With the promise of more food when they got back, the druid shap shifted into a raven and followed the bird finding out where the clock tower was exactly.

When they were able to, they asked more questions of the head and found that he was wary of his mistress and his a wand of dispel magic as she would have many spells active on her at any one time.

Later in the day, a dwarf appeared. His name was Niorg and was a scholar of Torag and had spent the last few days inspecting the seal. He was assigned by the church of Torag to help Budwar in whatever he needed.

The group decided to assult the clock tower the next day, and got some rest.
