Espionage and Treachery

Shenea awaited the party’s arrival and, after letting her know they were there for some special ink, she requested a task in return. The task was to have Evangeline talk with a young girl by the name of Ona-sa who was in the care of the 2nd tier’s leader, Ni-chodoss. 

After some inquiry, they discovered Ona-sa was human, without any mutation, and was nearing her 20th birthday at which time the Fahat would perform a ritual to give her a mutation. She would then be given to Gav-oreth, the leader of the 1st tier and Shenea did not want her daughter to go through that. 

Upon accepting this task, the group went to the home of Ni-chodoss and were able to teleport Ona-sa to a ledge they were standing on.  After a brief discussion with Ona-sa, she was returned and given instruction to contact the group should she decide to leave. 

They then returned to Shenea and were given the ink which they took back to the 1st tier where they noticed a familiar statue in a main square as they headed to Galigo’s. Through some investigation they discover that the statue was actually a creature, however, it did not respond to any interaction. Forsythe decided to attempt telepathy and the creature began to answer his questions. They discover the creature is known as Philethis, and it also resides in Fix’s family home. After a few other questions the statue’s last words were a warning, “Evil covers the swamp.”  The statue stops responding and a new card slides out from beneath its cloak. Inspecting the card, Kadath concludes it could potentially be one of four different cards, as the picture is of a stormy night sky. 

The group then give the ink to Galigo with Evangeline taking one of the three bottles for herself, giving Galigo a look of warning. They settle into a room for the night while Galigo prepares the teleportation the group requested. In the afternoon of the next day, they check with Ona-sa, following her to Shenea’s. She informs them of her intention to stay and get to know her real mother so the group then travels back to Galigo’s and are ready to depart to Far Brohn.
