On board the "Wind-Runner" -- the airship we commandeered. Supposedly Borssk was supposed to deliver the "Lash of Shadows" to Lady Adaline on this ship, but we stopped Borssk and were now in command of the airship.

We heard commotion on the streets below. Guards were about. We could hear the clash of arms! We decided the Lady Adaline was probably behind it all and determined to pay her a visit.

We found who we assumed to be Lady Adaline and a bunch of Yuan-Ti cultists. She ordered her minions to "get us!" As the fight began, for some reason the rugs in the room began to attack us.

Apparently Lady Adaline was a Medusa! I suppose we could have guessed that from the petrified victim/statues decorating her front lawn.

But, we overpowered her and her thugs, thus bringing an end to the plot to bring back the cult of Zahir.

The city was so grateful they let us keep the airship!

As we were walking the streets, we heard alarms! A prison break!

We decided to intervene. We successfully destroyed several of the escapting Yuan-Ti cultists but one, Borsk, the largest, escaped down a drain.

We found a note on one of the bodies from one Eskisian - the note was instructions to break out the cultists because cult activity (the Cult of Zakhir) was increasing and they were needed.

We decided to pursue the escapee down the sewer. But first we had to go to the escapees' cells and talk to a snake. It claimed its master was one "Adaline" and that it was a messenger. It mentioned something about an airship -- the "Windrunner" -- docked here in town.

I tried speaking to a Yuan-Ti woman and child (there seemed to be a whole village down here) but at the mention of the name "Borsk" she stopped communicating and fled.

We continued our exploration of the sewer.

We found Borsk! And a couple of his buddies. Borsk carried a snake-headed whip of many strands, which Bell-Cry identified as one of the artifacts of the Betrayer!

PART 2

We found Borssk! And a couple of his buddies. Borssk carried a snake-headed whip of many strands, which Bell-Cry identified as one of the artifacts of the Betrayer! The "Lash of Shadows."

Combat ensued! Borssk went down fairly easily, all things considered. I confiscated the whip.

Senzei spoke with the whip, which had the personality of a demon locked within it. It said it was to be taken to the airship, the same one we'd heard of before.

We climbed aboard and had a somewhat confused conversation with the crew. The captain was hostile and wanted us to leave, but did not immediately attack to kill. But things quickly turned more serious, and somehow a swarm of snakes was summoned to deal with us! We dealt with the crew, discovered documents proving the ship was owned by Lady Adaline.
