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.
