Griselka talks to the mother triceratops, summoning his spirit totem, and negotiates access to the child to try to save it.
020 #SeedOfCorruption Sivan shoots the triceratops and it doesn't seem to affect the corruption much. Ladmon casts gust of wind on the triceratops which gives some clearance, revealing a wound. With the area clear, Griselka removes the object embedded within the wound. He and Eku seal the wound with greater restoration, which isolated the corruption to the back half.

He yells: "Fools! After everything I've done for you!? For Mezro!?" He turns and stares at Zinyra before moving towards her. She wakes up and inspects the amulet, which has gone ice cold. Zinyra finds she can understand the language inscribed on her amulet which states: "Bara Ras N’si ti’Mezro" or "Duke Nsi, Immortal Defender of Mezro." Zinyra can now understand Old Omuan.

Shield Guardian Vorn

Cedany believed that the goblins of Yellyark actually found the control amulet on Timor's body but have kept it for themselves.
015 #ShieldGuardianVorn Through the unhinged ramblings of Cedany Bladewalker, it becomes clear she knew of the dead artificer Timor Bram (creator of the shield guardian Vorn). Sivan questions Cedany about this. It seems she was an apprentice of Timor and accuses him of stealing her work to create Vorn.
013 #ShieldGuardianVorn With news that the party is planning to head into the jungle soon, Wakanga O'tamu asks a favor. He has the journal of a now deceased artificer named Timor Bram, who had created an extremely powerful magical construct: a shield guardian named Vorn.

Take Down Kwayothe

§
006 #TakeDownKwayothe #DeathCurse #MerchantPrinces Jessamine meets the party. They notice she is afflicted by the Death Curse. She provides some political context, stating that Port Nyanzaru's independence was recent and there are elements within the city trying to undermine that. She asks the party to find evidence that Kwayothe is working with the Flaming Fist to re-exert colonial control of the city. In exchange, she offers resources and favor for their investigation.
006 #TakeDownKwayothe #MerchantPrinces The party accepts the offer and Jessamine provides details of an upcoming Gala being hosted by Kwayothe in celebration of Chultan Independence. She advises the party to scout Kwayothe's Villa and to be mindful of her two consorts, Ixis and Indar, who appear to be more than meets the eye. She suspects any evidence would be kept in Kwayothe's personal library or master bedroom.
007 #TakeDownKwayothe The party plans to infiltrate Kwayothe's Gala. They decide Vivi, Megamen, and Griselka will sneak around the back to search for ways into private portions of the villa while the rest of the party gathers information at the event.
007 #TakeDownKwayothe From an "off-screen" information gathering event, Griselka and Vivi had learned there is a Nullstone generating an anti-magic field in Kwayothe's Library, and suspect the documents are being kept there. Furthermore, they suspect the Nullstone somehow plays a roll in hiding the incriminating evidence. They also learned that Ixis and Indar are some sort of devil.
007 #TakeDownKwayothe Zinyra, Ladmon, and Sivan enter the Gala through the main gates and head into the courtyard, where they are announced and greeted by various guests.
007 #TakeDownKwayothe Meanwhile, Megamen, Vivi and Griselka infiltrate the villa from the cliffside wall. Griselka wildshapes into a monkey to assist with reconnaissance. Griselka is able to get Vivi inside the compound while Megamen gets in on her own, but on the opposite side of the second floor as the other two.
007 #battle #TakeDownKwayothe Griselka runs into the succubus Ixis as he attempted to gain entry into the villa himself. Instead of running, he thorn whips her into the water. With his aquatic lizardfolk abilities, Griselka draws the fight to a stalemate, forcing Ixis to planeshift and flee.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe Megamen and Vivi investigate Kwayothe's library, where they find the Nullstone and take it. They reunite with Griselka on the balcony after his fight with Ixis. The three of them figure out there is a Keystone that must be found. Based on earlier reconnaissance by Vivi and Griselka, they suspect the Keystone is in Kwayothe's office downstairs.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe Griselka transforms back into a monkey and climbs down to the office window. Vivi attempts to sneak down to the office with the Nullstone in her possession. Vivi runs into Selu, the head of Kwayothe's household, and uses the name Korhie Donadrue to get past him and the guard outside of the office.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe Inside the office, Vivi lets Griselka in from the balcony. They successfully find the Keystone after the Nullstone's anti-magic properties suppress the magic concealing it. Griselka takes the Keystone in monkey form back up the wall to Kwayothe's Library, where Megamen uses it to open a secret passage.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe #FlamingFist #PiratesOfChult #MerchantPrinces Megamen finds a map of Jahaka Anchorage and documents showing correspondence with Liara Portyr, the Flaming Fist in charge of Fort Beluarian. These missives describe in detail Kwayothe’s coordination with both the Flaming Fist and the pirates to undermine Port Nyanzaru and the other Merchant Princes.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe As Vivi attempts to leave the office downstairs, she runs headlong into Indar. She uses the threat of the Nullstone exposing him as an incubus to keep him at bay. As she pushes him toward the courtyard, she finally jumps forward, causing his human disguise to melt away.
008 #battle #TakeDownKwayothe A fight breaks out in the courtyard. Ixis charms Zindar, forcing him to unleash his draconic magic upon the party. Despite this, the party rallies and fights the two devils. Ixis and Indar, sensing defeat is imminent, open a portal to another plane and escape.
008 #TakeDownKwayothe #FlamingFist As it becomes clear the battle is lost and Kwayothe is exposed, the undercover Flaming Fist operative Korhie Donadrue assassinates Kwayothe and flees from the Gala.
009 #TakeDownKwayothe #MerchantPrinces The party has a tense exchange in the courtyard, as Selu accuses them of being involved in Kwayothe's murder. Wakanga O'tamu intervenes on the party's behalf and extricates them as the authorities arrive.
009 #TakeDownKwayothe #MerchantPrinces Wakanga O'tamu invites the party to stay the night as his villa. On the way to his place, they tell him about the documents they found outlining Kwayothe's betrayal of the other Merchant Princes.
009 #TakeDownKwayothe #MerchantPrinces The following morning, the party meets with Jessamine. They make the case for keeping the documents with Wakanga O'tamu as evidence in front of the Goldenthrone. Jessamine agrees so it doesn’t appear she was involved in the acquisition of the documents.
009 #TakeDownKwayothe #MerchantPrinces #RedWizards #HelpingZitembe Jessamine gives the party gold, a pair of magic boots and information about the Red Wizards of Thay. She tells them they are here primarily because of the Death Curse. She says they are also looking for the Crimson Demon clan leader Artus Cimber, due to the rumor of a powerful artifact in his possession. She also promises to drive the Red Wizards out of the city in order to aid Grandfather Zitembe.

Dumpster Diving

§
005 #DumpsterDiving Megumin wants to find black market spells to aid in their shopping experience. The party wanders into the Old City where they encounter Pockmarked Po, one of the Beggar Princes. He agrees to source the black market spell in exchange for the party clearing out a monster in the nearby Refuse Pit.
005 #DumpsterDiving Pockmarked Po tells the party the monster appeared shortly after the death of a local mage Morrowick, who succumbed to the Death Curse.
005 #battle #death #DumpsterDiving The party explores the Refuse Pit and faces off with a Gibbering Mouther. The monster pulls Megumin in close with its tentacles and kills her on a critical strike.

Prisoners who make it through the gauntlet are absolved of their crimes and re-integrated into society. It is a well-attended blood sport event for the locals and even some of the Merchant Princes.
004 #battle #ExecutionersRun #MerchantPrinces With the day's gauntlet being overseen by the Merchant Prince Jessamine, the party successfully battles its way through a series of traps, obstacles and monsters before reaching the end with no fatalities - a first in the Run's history! This impressed Jessamine.

Get to Chult

§
002 #GetToChult At the Low Lantern Tavern, they encountered a tortle named Moorvark--a native of Chult--who agreed to be the navigator on Captain Curry's ship in exchange for 50gp. The party attempted to haggle with Moorvark but was unsuccessful and agreed to his terms.
002 #GetToChult #Harpers #MerchantPrinces Upon arriving at her manor, Syndra Silvane gave the party a brief primer on what to expect in the jungles of Chult as well as a valuable map of the region. She gave them an additional potion of healing and sent them by boat - asking the party to seek out Wakanga O'tamu, one of the powerful Merchant Princes in Port Nyanzaru and ally to the Harpers.
002 #GetToChult The party set sail on Captain Curry's ship the Ruthless - so named because the Captain's wife, Ruth, hated to sail. Moorvark revealed to the party that they needed to get tribute to Aremag the Dragon Turtle.
002 #battle #GetToChult On day two, the party encountered a group of Kuo-toa pirates on Di K'bute Atoll. They raided the kuo-toa hideout in order to get treasure for Aremag's tribute. After disarming a trapped chest and recovering the loot, the party set sail once again toward Chult.
003 #battle #PiratesOfChult #GetToChult During the final day of sea travel, the party was accosted by pirates. Moorvark recognized the ship as the Stirge, a Chultan pirate ship captained by Laskilar. The ship took damage as Laskilar’s mad sea priest, Caldos Hellingskorn, wrought elemental power down on them. As the party put up more of a fight than the pirates expected, the Stirge broke away and retreated.
003 #death #GetToChult As the ship made its final approach into the Bay of Chult, they were stopped by Aremag, the dragon turtle, who demanded tribute for safe passage. Despite having the treasure from their earlier exploits, Captain Curry refused to pay the tribute and demanded Aremag back down. Aremag killed Captain Curry by boiling him alive and the party promptly paid the tribute.
003 #GetToChult At last the party made it to the bustling Chultan city of Port Nyanzaru! Satisfied with his successful navigation to Chult, Moorvark slid into the ocean as the rest of the crew disembarked.

Death Cellar

§
001 #DeathCellar #Harpers The party was approached by Syndra Silvane - a masked woman who was also affected by the death curse. With the promise of gold and the possibility to learn more about the curse that struck down Amber, the party took part in a scheme by the Harpers to steal the phylactery of Zaldara, the Duchess of Rot, in a bid to extract information from the lich.
001 #DeathCellar #DeathCurse The party was accompanied by the Harper Gerard as they took a boat down the Sword Coast to Cloakwood. They infiltrated the lich's lair while the Harpers led a frontal assault against the Tower. During this infiltration, the party learned that Marcus Rhodesseus, their cohort, was also afflicted by the curse.
001 #battle #death #DeathCellar Deftly dispatching the lich's minions and traps, the party made their way through the Death Cellar. They picked up the Zaldara's discarded familiar, Elonast, who had been imprisoned for decades by the lich. Elonast guided them to the location of Zaldara's phylactery: a trapped chamber guarded by a specter. In a desperate bid to destroy the foul being, Marcus Rhodesseus lost his life. Despite the party's losses, they were victorious in stealing Zaldara's phylactery: her spellbook.
001 #DeathCellar After leaving the cellar, the Harper Gerard teleported the party to the entrance of the tower, where battle between the Harpers and the Zaldara's undead forces continued to rage. The conflict ceased as the lich was drawn out by the revelation that the party had control of her phylactery. The party then negotiated with the lich: her phylactery back in exchange for information about the death curse.
001 #DeathCellar #DeathCurse Zaldara accepted the party's terms and told them and the Harpers what she knew: that the Death Curse is from a fantastically powerful soul-harvesting artifact called the Soulmonger. She did not know who had activated it, but that its focus of power seemed to be emanating from the jungle peninsula of Chult. After the information was divulged, the party reneged on its deal with Zaldara and the lich was struck down three magic missiles.
001 #DeathCellar #StopTheDeathCurse The information successfully obtained, Syndra Silvane rewarded the party with gold and asked for them to meet her at her domicile in three days' time in Baldur's Gate - where she will task the party with a quest to seek out the Soulmonger and put a stop to the Death Curse. The party agreed and set sail for Baldur's Gate.
