Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
CURSE OF THE CRIMSON THRONE:
SEVEN DAYS TO THE GRAVE II...
THE EXCITING CONCLUSION!
The THIRD major roster of adventurers suffered defeat under the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden in the Temple of Urgathoa, as did the second roster before them. With Allen Phan dead, the last remaining adventurer who has been investigating these issues since the beginning has died. But that roster struck a heavy blow against those forces, killing many Gray Maidens, Queen's Physicians, Urgathoan cultists, more than two dozen zombies, and even the twisted leader - Dr. Reiner Davaulus.
Now, with a FOURTH roster, can Adelaide, Vivino, Harsk and the rest finally break the power of the Urgathoan cult, seemingly led by former serial murderer Rolth Lam and his psychotic lover Jolistina Susperio and get evidence that the blood veil that has plagued Korvosa was actually a synthesized form of biowarfare?

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Adelaide Breakwater
Description 5' 9" (6' w/ boots), 170 lbs.; Brown Hair, Red Eyes
Half-elven female of average height. Quite muscular compared to the typical Half-elf. She has well-tanned skin, deep red eyes that sparkle in the sunlight, and hair she keeps tied back in a ponytail.
Dressed in traveler's clothes with a coat from a soldier's uniform. It's worn and lacks any insignia that designate rank, awards, or assignment.
Personality
Outgoing and confident. Laughs loud and often, sometimes to hide other emotions. Strong sense of loyalty to friends and family, and she is willing to stick out her neck for those that can't defend themselves.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Harsk
Description/ Personality 4' 8", 215 lbs.; Sapphire-Blue Eyes; Red-Blonde Hair
Harsk, like many of his kind, is gruff and taciturn, but there ends most of his connection to dwarven society. Something of a loner, he prefers to spend his time outdoors, communing with nature, though he occasionally travels alongside others whose goals match his own. Uninterested in the beer and ale so strongly associated with dwarves in the minds of human society, Harsk instead drinks pot after pot of strong tea to keep his senses sharp. While he never lets his brother's axe out of his sight, he wields it only as a last resort, knowing his true skills lie in the hunt and striking from darkness.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Lem
Description 3' 0", 36 lbs.; Blue Eyes, Blonde Hair
Short and well-dressed, Lem always seems to have a smile on his face and a perfect joke for any situation. He always jumps to support people who are being stepped on.
Personality
Although Lem was raised in the lap of luxury, his childhood was anything but comfortable. Born into slavery, Lem was sold a half-dozen times to different nobles before he reached the age of 2. Always quick to side with the underdog, Lem has learned that his most powerful trait is his optimisim and sense of humor—skills that more than make up for his small stature and impulsive nature.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Lilim
Description 5' 11", 165 lbs.; All Black Eyes, Bald (but w/ Black feathery hair at neck)
Her inhuman heritage is all-too apparent. She is scaled, but her scales are practically see-through and her skin is translucent and veiny, with a jaundiced veneer. Two fleshy nubs at her head, no bigger in width or length than her own curled pinky, are vestigial horns. They are at the parallel to the vertical lines of the temples, and are hard to hide on her bald head. Around her neck is a light color of black, feathery hair.
Her prehensile tail tends to slide in a slight arc behind her as a counterbalance, but it is thicker in scales, is no broader than two men's thumbs at central diameter, and is very prehensile. The end of the tail includes a classic, diabolic "barbed" look.
Personality
First daughter in many generations to show infernal traits since an ancestor made a deal so long ago for power. Parents sent her to live with monks to learn restraint and control over her magic. Her power may be extraplanar, but her strength comes from Pharasma. Constantly battling her darker instincts, the devil on her shoulder is herself, with her demonically possessed tail.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Vivino Dorso
Description 6' 2", 200 lbs.; Hazel Eyes, Brown Hair
Tall muscular human male wearing mithril breastplate with loose clothing that could be used to cover up along with leather gloves. Across his back is a backpack and a greatsword along with a few weapons on his belt. He is clean shaven with several battle scars and closely cropped brown hair.
Personality
"I judge people based on their actions, not their words. I will do whatever I can to bring my sister back into the family."
Overall Vivino is cordial and good-natured but if someone wrongs him or his friends/family he will do whatever it takes to make sure they never bother again. The extent that he will go often makes some leery of him but he has a hard time convincing them before they try something.

Sunday, 27 Gozran 4708 AR
(Last Quarter Moon)
No doubt the heroes are sleeping in some, getting up for a late Sunday breakfast and daily preps.
Spoiler: VivinoVivino, when you awaken, that terrible sickness of the soul you had is gone, and you wake up healed. However, one thing that does linger is that loss of self-confidence you felt when you breathed in that strange powder with the door trap. That hasn't really abated at all. Your sense of self is still weakened.
This morning, there is a dark-skinned woman (Garundi, for those that know) that Master Shyamal had sent to check up on you. "Your wounds have healed well," she says, "do you mind if I check you for any signs of blood veil or any other lingering problems?"
Spoiler: AdelaideAdelaide, you have healed well, given that Harsk and Master Shyamal checked your wounds and gave you medical assistance before you went to bed.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
Spoiler: VivinoShe'll ask you various questions about it, and figure that it must have been some type of poison, but she would feel better getting Master Shyamal and Harsk to look you over after that.
She does so, and the two men look Vivino over, ask a series of questions (some of them psychological), and then confer with each other in another room. They return and it is Harsk who speaks. "Yeah, we think it's a poison, but not one either of us recognize. That is some very detailed, one-off special stuff, or a truly rare poison. It does seem to be affecting various [insert medical babble here that Vivino has no idea what it means], so I'll be the attending physician throughout the day, and we'll see where you are tomorrow. That said, it doesn't seem to impact any major systems at this time.
"Other than that, you're free to move around."Spoiler: Adelaide
The woman, of very sturdy build and a little taller than average for a human female, lays her hands on Adelaide's head. One of her hands has a silver holy symbol of Iomedae pressed against Adelaide's forehead as well. After only three prayers and bursts of energy directly into Adelaide, Adelaide is fully healed.11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

"Thank you all for your assistance. I will be under your care and do what I can to help speed things along." Vivino replies. Then during the remainder of the rest period he will be drinking as many liquids as he can get his hands on...water, beer, etc. in order to hopefully flush the poison out while being attended to.

Conditional Response in Spoiler
Adelaide's stomach lets out a loud grumble and she lets out a soft laugh.
"I hate to impose too much, but I am absolutely starving." She looks down and pats her stomach.
"Does Master Shyamal have anything for me to address this morning?" Adelaide asks.

I hope that you have been made aware of what we may be facing; for I would hate for anyone to go into this place unaware of what may be down there.

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
A servant had left in the meantime to answer the door, and comes back with the woman who had provided magical healing and looked in regarding disease earlier. But instead of an off-white robe with red trim for Iomedaean vestments, she has traded that in for full plate armor [see Discord].
"I hope I am not too late?" she asks.
"No, not at all, Seelah," answers Master Shyamal, who introduces her to everyone in case they had not met before.
"My order sent me because the loss of Lucius Spriteborn is of concern," Seelah says to the room. "I will go where he had intended. I do not need planning, but rather a door to enter and evil to put to the sword."Last edited by lostsole31; 2021-11-04 at 04:27 PM.

"I am afraid that I do not know very much it seems." Vivino admits. "We managed to get down below through an elevator that requires a special key; which we thankfully have. I am not aware if there are any other entrances. I have been down there once before and unfortunately I do not feel like I learned much. There are several doors that expand from the initial room downstairs. We did not get to explore very much of it before being set upon. We mistakenly split up in an attempt to capture a foe that had turned invisible, but that attracted the attention of several cultists and dangerous fellows including a crossbow wielding invisible woman, a man in an apron that could stretch his arms and paralyze with a strike, and some sort of plague demon that I never got a good look at while I was paralyzed and thankfully carried out of there."
"I will answer any questions that I capable of."

Adelaide admires the newcomers.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance Dane. Seelah, "
Adelaide listens to Vivino and adds her own piece after.
"Vivino is right, the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden is a treacherous place. There are traps, undead, and demons and that was barely after we got through the front door. Once we get to the basement it's essential that we work as a team to handle whatever we come up against. We stretched ourselves too thin last time and paid the price."

Harsk looks to Seelah, Dane, and Lem. "You see, we were down there to investigate, and the architect of Korvosa's troubles ... Dr. Reiner Davaulus himself, the man charged by the queen to investigate the blood veil, was down there. He led us through a merry chase in various rooms, and in chasing after him we spread out and went all over and things just fell apart from there."

Dane thinks for a while.
"Than the answer is simple, stick together and work as a team. Once we arrive I can cast a spell to see invisible people. If we work through together Lem and I can call powerful magic to bolster us, we smash through them like a hammer throw dry wood. Lem do you have a song spell to reveal invisible foes?"

"I know that I am fairly new to this enterprise, but now that I know what I do I feel compelled to put a stop to this disease but also to make sure that our compatriots earlier efforts were not in vain." Vivino says.
"Thank you to you all for helping in this. Unless someone has questions, perhaps we should head back down and proceed carefully as soon as possible."

Re: Curse of the Crimson Thread: Seven Days to the Grave II [IC]
The "Third Crusade" heads out to the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden.
The front entrance is a wooden door whose lock was broken previously. The smell emanating from inside is the unpleasant smell of much death. Any of the "Second Crusade" can tell you that the patients were put to the knife when it seems that the cover was blown after the "First Crusade's" attentions.
Even with the gut-wrenching stench of death, as you enter the entryway, the stinging scent of alcohol and medicine floods this dingy reception room, an odor typical of hospices—and morgues. Across from the entrance sits a long wooden desk, beyond which a stained leather curtain covers an archway, doing a damn poor job of muffling the charnel scent issuing from the rooms beyond.
The party continues through into the vast sick ward. The warehouse’s vast interior has been converted into one gigantic convalescent ward. The stench of alcohol, sickness, waste and death chokes the breath, and tight rows of low, stained cots cram the stone-floored hall. Every bed is filled with a pitiful story—men and women of all walks that were either consumed by the blood veil or ahd their throat slashed when the Queen's Physicians decided to cut their losses.
Does the party do anything, or move to the lift?Last edited by lostsole31; 2021-11-09 at 08:30 PM.
