Heading out to the curious-looking tower they'd seen from the sky, the party dispersed an agitated folk of wing rats before going head to head with the cultists of Raggok making their base there. They were trying to create a Bone Shambler, and by channeling Moore's pain-filled death into the construction they very nearly succeeded. (Fortunately for Moore, his death going to fuel the horror construct meant that he didn't get to keep it.) They made quick work of an intelligent ghoul working as an alchemist, but Ulfgar observed significant astral corruption that led T'rask to believe it was infected (infested?) with a Dread Iota - along with all the cultists, most likely, and who knows what else.
For good measure, they killed the harpies imprisoned in the top of the tower, their manicured talons contrasting with the rest of their appearance to suggest either that the disease-carrying filth had recently been harvested or that the cultists keeping them in squalid luxury paid some kind of reverence to the disease-carrying harridans.
Rewards:
Ulfgar: 1,640LP, 375 silver, 3 threads, 7 days of downtime
Thane: 1,640LP, 375 silver, 3 threads, 7 days of downtime
T'rask: 1,640LP, 375 silver, 3 threads, 7 days of downtime
Moore: 1,640LP, , 362.5 silver, the broadsword that killed him (very briefly), 3 threads, 7 days of downtime
Hooks: How far has the Dread Iota's infection spread? And how do you destroy something you can't see?
