Session 16

Setting: Illustrious Market Prison

NPCs: Gene Parmesan

Gene Parmesan gives the team a tip that a group of priests from the Guiding Light Church were seen entering the prison, and haven't been seen since. He says the Order has disturbing reports that no one ever seems to come back out now. He asks that they go in and investigate. He sings them a little song of inspiration before they go.

Pretending to be arrested by Gene, he gets them into the prison doors, where there are met by the clerk. Bored, he asks them to have a seat while he grabs the paperwork to check in their weapons. As he turns his back, Lo'Kag grabs his axe from the weapon pile and attacks him. He and Mykiela murder the guard and take his keys. As the group starts to explore the prison, the lights go dim, and they hear a cackling female voice in their heads taunting them.

The team fight mutilated creatures while making their way to the prisoner cells. They find a lot of blood, and dead bodies. One Orc prisoner is still alive. Durzo gives him some rations. He nods his head in thanks. Another Human male is Pierce, a priest from the Church of the Guiding Light. He tells Mykiela that her father got in an argument with another Cleric on the ship, and they fell overboard to their deaths. Because they had all been drinking, the other three were arrested and sent to this prison once they docked. He says the other two that were with him were taken away, and he hasn't seen them since. He then tells her that his powers have gone away since he's been in this place.

The team make their way to the Warden's office, where they face a Blood Witch that has taken over the prison. It's a difficult fight, but they are able to destroy the creature, and free the remaining prisoners.
