Synopsis:
Having put most of the pieces together, the party reforms at the inn that has been the base of operations in passage. With the changeling arrested by the city authorities, all that remains is to plan a trip to the Warehouse and a meeting with the Cannith behind all the strange and bizarre creatures and murders.
Radigan and Laaskah attempt to observe the warehouse and at night see 3 figures retrieve an item from the Warehouse and leave for parts unknown. Wanting a break in the case, both party members decide to follow the three as they are slowed by carrying the crate. Sadly due to a combination of bad luck and poor judgement the plan fails and Laashkah is felled by a single arrow by a member of the trio.
Recovering back at the inn, the party decides to forcefully invade the warehouse. Gaining entry and bypassing several traps the party enters a large workroom under the warehouse to find a Flesh Golem nearly ready to rise. 2 Half golems, cultists and the villain of the piece, the Scion on the Cannith are also present. Facing a pitched battle, the party just manages to damage the animating process enough for it to cease. The cultists are dispatched, yet the half golems manage to cause serious damage before they are stopped by the villain of the piece.
After a speech delivered by Tollan , the Cannith smiles and is gone, perhaps the party has made an enemy.. for a future return performance.
Several loose ends are still evident. Who were the three people .. and what was in the Crate. At least one party member wants to know.
With no confession from the Cannith, how does the party prove he was even involved?

----Session 6
Game Update : The Mega Update!
Location: Passage and areas 3 days south of Passage
Cast of characters :
Tolan
Tarin,
Radigan
Jacintha
Laashk
Overview:
Having defeated the critters at the Docks, the party finds out about another 'victim' of the effects of the Brain in a Jar. A Dwarf noble of House Kundarrak. Finding that this Dwarf is hosting a masquerade ball, Tolan decides that everyone else would love to go, and so gets them tickets. Some characters choose to dress up, others not. Accompanies by a noble lady and her son ( who some of the party are attempting to influence), the characters arrive at the party. Mingling with people far out of their circle, some party members decide to nosy around and manage to slip downstairs to a room where the Dwarf is talking to someone.. and this someone is not entirely human. Beating a retreat back up to the dance floor, likely with some nasties right at their backs all heck breaks loose as invisible assailants accost the party. Tolan's direct superior in the Deneith House is also revealed to an agent for the brain in the jar. The party manages to defeat the assailants, with the assistance of a shifter who Tolan has been trying to impress.
A most alarming turn of events is when , a Medusa a diplomat at the party turns the Deneith into a stone statue. The fight is over after this, although the main contest lies downstairs. THe group race downstairs to the room spied upon earlier.
The Dwarf and some undead friends waits for the party alongside the not seen yet Brain in a Jar. The battle is fierce, but the party wins out with the brain destroyed (possibly) and the Dwarf noble while damaged managing to shrug off the mental domination. A Strange tale for all concerned.
After resting and recuperating for some time, itchy feet and the adventurer lifestyle rears its ugly head. A strange device (which some of the party had wanted to track earlier), called the Planar Compass lies to the South... or does it?.
Jacintha takes her leave of the group. Perhaps the mental tricks of the Brain have unnerved her. THe Shifter now seeks to employ the group in an escort mission on their way to the area in question. How she knew about their quest at all, puzzles some members of the party. Sounding a little too easy, the party equips for a cold trip south and leaves Passage. Keeping to the main road, the party passes other travelers and as the days pass, the next village is that closer.. is it not till the Third day when tragedy strikes...
The Shifter has been fishing the river the party travels along for some time. On the third day, she gets more than she bargais for as a strange monstrous humanoid emerged from the Water. Some call it a scrag, most call it ugly. It is soon joined by two aquatic Ogres which seem to share its desire to inflict pain on others.
The party has by now gotten use to Tolan's protestations to pull back so the party can organise a successful attack and defense, and as the same actions are taken, a few listen but the majority do not. Laashk manages to kill an ogre before he turns his back to the Scrag. Which is a 6 second fatal mistake as it literally rips Laashk in half.
Many attacks on the Scrag and surviving Merrow are made, and the creatures die to the cuts and flames. Laashk is still dead however, and some party members turn despondent and others decide to carry on. Tarin is strangely affected the most and wants Laashk back. The idea of taking him back to Passage grows more appealing and so the party turns around, its mission still to complete.
Having found a divine caller willing to use the right magics, Laashk is reborn.. as a ......
