Upon exiting the tomb, the party found themselves in a store room attached to a flood shelter down in the first tier, filled with the sick, infirm, and dying. Running this was woman named Sal, and her son, Llewelyn, who seemed able to predict the rise and fall of the tide. Verischa helped restock the shelter’s medicine supply, and Firuzeh failed at both stealing and giving gifts.
Sal was terrified at first, especially of Cranzalar’s connection to the Church, but eventually he proved himself by stabilising a child that wouldn’t have made it through the night. The party rested up, and once the waters had receded traveled up and out through a speakeasy run by the criminal network known as Dry Land, and specifically a member of theirs known as Redford. He initally wanted a favour for the shelter the party took, but Verischa’s powerful stink attack sent him running for the bathroom.
Outside, a group of Church Guards happened to be converging on the speakeasy, ready to bust down the door and cause some trouble – but upon seeing Cranzalar, the Royal that had decided on a whim to accompany them, Lilla, immediately took an interest. The Party was able to escape by shouting the word ‘FLOOD’ enough times (also through clever use of conjured water and fog), but Lilla pursued and threatened Cranzalar until he punched her in the face.
A fight broke out, and through a barrage of fire, thunder, frost, and being hit on the head really really hard, Lilla was slain – her horns the only thing left of her body. The party now faces a bit of a predicament: on top of all the stuff they found with the Cult of the Flood, the guards that escaped will undoubtedly have a story to tell about why Lilla didn’t return with them…
