Shroud's Last Hope
The player characters began the session waiting around for Madame Losa, who would end up never making contact with the characters. While whiling away the time at Jak'a'Napes, an older fellow began having horrible coughing fits which he ultimately died from after violently coughing up his insides. While the local guards were trying to calm the situation, numerous other people in the streets began having the same coughing fits. Malic Citrate went to work setting up an improptu hospital in an alleyway before securing the aid of Lady Cirthana at the Shroudbase Shrine to Heironeous. Cirthana lacked the ability and general interest to cure the outbreak that was happening.
Blackscour Taint
The party tried to find out more about what was happening to the townsfolk and that led them to a long line at Roots and Remedies, an herbal remedy shop run by Laurel Langedon (for those that missed the reference, she is the cousin of Trejan Langedon). Once inside, the party was able to determine that it was Blackscour Taint that was infecting the populace, a fungal disease that is not generally deadly but hits the population hard due to poor conditions and a lack of supplies.
Laurel explained, "There is a mold growing inside the people. It starts eating away in the chest and bellow and is damned determined to stay. The body turns itself inside out trying to hack the stuff up but all that does is cut your guts up."
Laurel first tried to sell the party what she was already selling to all of the other cautious townsfolk, stating that she hoped it worked. It did not and the player characters came back the next day hoping to find some other cure. She mentioned that her grandmother's old book of remedies mentions something that may do the trick, but it sounded more like hoojoo than actual medicine. Unfortunately, she didn't have all of the ingredients that the weird concoction called for. The three items she was missing were:
- Elderwood Mold - mold that only grows on the eldest tree in a forest
- Rat's Tail - a specially pickled root
- Ironbloom Mushrooms - stunty mushrooms that grow in places heavy with metal, a favorite among dwarves
The party set off to find out where these items could be found.
Milon Rhoddam and the Mining Consortium
The player characters gathered information regarding anyone that knew the area very well and were led to the best woodsmen in the area, a man in the employ of the Shroudbase Mining Consortium. When they arrived at the organizations headquarters they were treated roughly until Lars talked his way into meet Milon Rhoddam. Milon was able to sketch a map that detailed where the party might find the eldest tree in the Darkmoon Vale, the witch's hut, and the dwarven ruins.
Murder in the First Degree
On their way to the oldest tree, Daeron shot a hobgoblin in the throat without provocation. After feeling sorry for the creature, Malic healed it back up only to have it cut in two by Biscuit's axe. The rest of the party thought nothing strange of this blatant killing and left the body to rot. A hobgoblin mommy and her two children starved that night and succumbed to their hunger and the wintry environment a week later.
