Session 8: Cleaning Up the Next Morning

Synopsis
In the aftermath of the battle with the succubus, Vistra, Twilight, and Vadha loot through Tai's Entourage's things. They discover several weapons (a dagger, a hammer, and a sword), an extradimensional bag, and "another fucking scroll case" to add to Twilight's growing collection.

With the succubus and her followers dispatched but a werewolf still on the loose, Vistra orders his own followers to barricade the doors for the night before he, Twilight, and Vadha head up into the tower to check on the Light of Lighthome. The fire was not tainted, and was properly consecrated to Pelor. Everyone is confused by this since the succubus and her followers seemed to be happy with the results of the consecration. But without any survivors, the Band of Idiots had no one to interrogate.

They decide to leave Celwyn to her own devices in the woods and rest until morning in the tower, blockading the door down into the temple and leaving the Priests of Lighthome to their own devices to defend themselves.

In the morning, the Band of Idiots find the Priests of Lighthome sleepless and blocking the main door while a tired knocking persists. Upon opening the door they discover Gavin, weary but alive. Vistra proceeds to heal the druid before sending him and the others off to sleep off their own sleepless night.

Vistra remains behind to prepare secured rooms for Gavin (a suspected werewolf) and the Lighthome Doppelganger (a prisoner of the Band of Idiots) while Twilight and Vadha return to Standing Stones to check on Celwyn.

Twilight tries to track the wolf tracks from Gavin's "death site" the night before into the forest, but loses the trail and becomes suspicious of the missing tracks, the wolf must have come from somewhere.

Arriving at the Standing Stones, they find the elf meditating with Kanti resting at her feet. Her night had been uneventful. After explaining everything to Celwyn, Vadha worries that Celwyn and Twilight's Reconsecration of Standing Stones the night before had summoned the 'monkey-wolf.'

While at the Standing Stones, Twilight opens the scroll case and examines the documents inside, discovering several letters of writ from the Pelorian Temple in the northern city of Damask. The documents are official (or the best forgeries he's ever seen) and declare Tai Duay and her followers to be emissaries from the temple sent to aide Vistra in his efforts.

The three stop in to check on Woodstone Farms and Steve. They find Steve has been ministering to the Woodstone Farmhands at the farm who have moved into a small work-camp off the farm. He is performing a mix of Pelorian and Druidic services.

Twilight sends out some messages to his own underworld connections to get more information about the Pelorian temple in the northern city of Damask.

Their tasks complete, the trio, and Kanti, returns to Lighthome Temple to regroup.
