The Emerald Spire, Session 7

This session took place on the 21st of this month, but I forgot to post about it then, so I'm doing it now and have sessions from the 22nd and 27th to post.

When we picked up, we had just put down a cult of Norgorber that had holed up on the 2nd underground level of the ruins. We tied up who we could and tried to get some rest in a secure chamber, but a curious grick interrupted our night. Once Hilde was able to rouse our captives, she negotiated the terms of their release and promised any who repented and wished to enter society a clear way in. 

Only one of their number agreed to allow us to help them turn things around, but the rest of the cultist/bandits vowed to leave the place. This left their leader, a strong-willed woman who would see no reason, so the group decided to turn her in to the Hellknights at Fort Inevitable. And so, we set off for the 6-hour trek back to town with a hopeful convert and a cult leader.

Along the way, a quick encounter [that I can't actually remember the monster of now] slowed us only a little and we were back home before too late. Our first stop was the Citadel, where we met with Lady Drovust, the commander of the Hellknights and de facto leader of Fort Inevitable. We turned over our prisoner, though Dai Lu made clear her ideas about what she thought the outcome would be with the cultist and how she felt about it. Drovust thanked the party for the information they gave her and "gifted" them with a house in town that was all but falling apart in return for what the group has already accomplished and future tasks yet to be named. The band said they would hold to this agreement but would not assassinate people for the Hellknights.

With some of the money that had been gained on adventures, a fund was set aside to begin repairs and we hired the cultist who said they wanted to reform, giving them room and board for free and a little coin of their own if they agreed to begin getting the house in a livable condition.

We left off there. It was a short session, but sets us up better in town and we're prepped for our next expedition down into the lower levels of The Emerald Spire!

Notes
I joined this game at level 2, after I came back from my amputation, so my character would be the noob of the group, but Sam decided to retire her old character after session 5. I'll have to ask her why later; I can't recall her reason.
