GAME NOTES
It a puzzle room full of blocks of granite and unfinished statues guarded by a massive, sleeping Xorn. SE statue: dwarf girl on dwarf man's shoulders. SW: barely carved block. NW female dwarf. NE is a carving of a door.
We send Helper in as a test and the Xorn wakes up and runs over. We slam the door in his face and leave. Unfortunately, the xorn charges directly through the stone & attacks Ceol for the gems on Tearulai's scabbard. In a brief fight it gets turned to a turtle by Tearulai and Arin chucks it into the river
We return to the puzzle room. The stone with the X, turns out to be not stone but plaster. Breaking through it, Ceol finds it was hiding the Alabaster Throne! Its not magic, we decide to send a letter to Volo from Skullport to let him know the location.
We search around and find the Portal back to Yinark's_Tower.
Satisfied. We journey on to Skullport then to Dalagor's Fortress. Per Felrax things are worse than ever. As an example, he cites Fire_Cultists burning random people in Skull_Square nightly.
Felrax knows nothing about Intellect Devourers and is not happy to hear about them either.
When we ask about Finding Kressando he says that the rumors are Kressando Rosznar is in the leadership of the Xanathar_Thieves_Guild. They are headquartered in the Guts & Garters.
Felrax has not heard of a leader of the Fire Cultists, but that they are in cahoots with Xanathar_Thieves_Guild. He warns us to beware of and avoid the flameskulls that patrol the city.
We decide to attack the Fire_Cultists at Skull_Square and disrupt their sacrifice. Arin leads off with Sleet Storm followed by Jitters Steel Wind Strike & Mira with Calls Lightning. Ceol flies in and kills one.
A merry fight ensues and we kill 6 and Jitters charms the last one: Bartlett. Per Bartlett, the Father_Superior and about a dozen more cultists are currently out on a hunt for more "Purity Grievers".
We go into their lodge and question Bartlett some more. He confirms that the Fire Cultists are working with the Xanathar Thieves Guild, but he's not supposed to talk about. Says things have been strange since the Xanathars got their new leader including smuggling people down to lower levels. Bartlett confirm that the "new leader" is Kressando Rosznar and that the Xanathars hideout is in the basement of the the Guts & Garters.
We murder Bartlett, and burn down the cultist HQ, then go get a drink at the Flagon & the Dragon. Cal'al is bartending, and the place is dead, the whole town is dead. Like Felrax, she complains a lot about how dead the town is and charges us too much for drinks.
We loosely plan to rest up and then go see Kressando Rosznar at the Guts & Garters
