Session VIII

The Murky Evil

 * 1) Party meets up with Montra in her car so she can let the party know to kill her whenever she loses control of herself, and to apologize for what she did. Iados didn’t forgive her because he never held a grudge against her in the first place. Iados orders the biggest water the meal plan can give, and Joraxx orders a meal. Iados uses ⅖ of gallons to refill his Steam Tank. He keeps the 2 empty jugs to reuse them, and the 3 jugs when he needs it later.
 * 2) Felix notices that there are several dead bodies in the swampy waters. The corpses have bright, black scales causing acid to bubble up in their wounds. Joraxx says the Cult is getting more aggressive.Joraxx sees a hooded figure as the train passes by and says it’s one of his brothers. Gerhman gets a magical bomb attached to him and will go off in 4 days if Joraxx doesn’t turn himself in to his family. Any attempts to disarm the bomb causes its time to hasten. Joraxx believes Sarissa, his eldest sister and most proficient in the “bomb magic” and is most likely the target of the party. Party makes a plan to take out Sarissa.
 * 3) Party enters the city and finds the hooded figure again. Joraxx describes him to be Malacore, the most brutal warrior within the Cult. Malcore attempts to chase after Joraxx, but Gerhman stops him. The fight eventually leads to a mexican standoff till Sarissa and Gerhman blow up together. Suddenly, Gerhman and Sarissa resurface unscathed, and Gerhman holds a stony blade. Iados hands back the orb to Gerhman, and the orb doesn’t glow while in Iados’ hands. The party and Joraxx siblings become allies after some explaining. Apparently the two held off against Joraxx’s father and stole his most precious sword: The Moonsword.
 * 4) After learning the party has to wait three days for the train to arrive, Gerhman, Joraxx, and Xander enter the fighting tournament. The three of them advance into the second bracket.The three of them move onto the third bracket. Gerhman beats Joraxx and moves onto the finals. Corwin finds out that the champion was cheating and pours some of the sleeping elixir into his potion. Gerhman wins after exposing the now-former champ and gets 30 Eres ($3,000/30 Gold Coins).
