Isle of Dread – Session 9

After a night’s rest at the Tasty Wolf the party was greeted by Gelerin Cormrael and suggested that the party investigate the Juta tavern since it is believed if anyone who knows anything about the Blackwing spy in the city it would be there. 

Once the party gives the secret word to allow them into the underground fighting pits the party discovers that the tavern is run by K’lahu the Halfling which the party had dealings with shortly before leaving Port Nyanzaru. K’lahu wanting to make amends with the group offer them the location of a forgotten dwarven vault, the same vault where K’lahu had found the deck of many things.  

The party also finds Azaka Stormfang the parties former guide in the fighting pit as a weretiger, upon discovery Azaka explains that she is a member of Blackwing and that she was tasked to infiltrate Oldonnar.  She asks the party to break into a Red Wizards of Thay safe house within the city. Before leaving the tavern Azaka also explains that Syndra Silvane is the leader of the Organization of the Zodiac. (Drim not happy) 

When the party discovers the dwarven vault the party finds a few chests of gold and a stone statue of an elf named Braven someone from Drims past. The statue is sitting on a small pond with a thick black liquid that the party discovers if ingested there skin slowly turns to that of a Drow.  

While leaving the vault the party over hears a conversation between two Drow mentioning something about Kilgore plans to take over the city. During the battle one of the Drow manages to escape.  

The party with little to go on decide to investigate the Red Wizards safe house, while there the party finds letters from a Valindra Shadowmantle which appears to be now in charge of the Red Wizards on Chult. In the letters Valindra is ordering the rest of the Red Wizards to regroup before Szass Tam learns of the current situation and if need be to reestablish contact with Dargoth.  

The party is attacked by small group of Githyanki Knights that appeared to be searching the safe house as well. The party returned to the Juta Tavern to explain what they found to Azaka. Azaka offers the party a guide to get out of the city, and there guide turned out to be an older looking Lyndon…
