Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeremy" data-source="post: 9726221" data-attributes="member: 4036"><h3>9/11/21</h3>After having signed the contract with Clorox, the guild master of the Silver Dagger, we were ejected magically back to the Fresh Food.  Three Cult safe houses are clearly marked, the closest of which being an abandoned mausoleum, but the rest of the contract is written in a foreign language no one can understand.  The second site is in the sewer system of the Copper Village, the third is within a cave system beneath the Western Silver.  Before anyone can react, Grath leaves the inn.  Rho misinterprets this swift action as decisiveness and chases after him, Gribitz in tow.Grath takes all the responsibility for the situation the party finds itself in and apologizes for screwing up and hugs the others.  The group heads to the Temple of Faiths to find someone who can recognize the writing on the contract.  A dark elf priest identifies the script as Undercommon but says given the length it will take him a day to translate and write out a full copy.Grath searches the markets for a potion seller while Gribitz asks Rho for the materials to send a message.  He scratches out a message that he naughty word up and has a new eye monster boss and he needs help in Druidic, he ties the message to a raven and asks it to give it to Grandfather in the woods.  Grath buys a couple antitoxins and healing potions from the apothecary in the market.Gribitz wonders if the drow will sell them out when he deciphers what he has and wants to get started.  The party heads to the first location that had been marked in the contract.  They find the mausoleum all chained and locked up.  After talking with some rats and bugs they identify that this is almost certainly the place.  Kith and Gribitz pop the lock and Gribitz goes scouting.  He finds various Yuan-Ti going about their daily business.  After he gets back out the goblin suggests how he would ambush the snake heads if it were his call.There is some discussion about what to do before the party raids the mausoleum.  Rho grabs a couple Yuan-Ti and slams their heads together rendering them both unconscious but soon swarms of poisonous snakes begin filling the halls.  Veldra holds one of the hallways while Rho and Grath try to hold another.  Gribitz tries frantically to talk his way out of things but understanding the murderous intent of the serpents doesn't help matters any.The party is eventually successful in defeating the swarms of snakes and Veldra and Gribitz discover a secret chamber with traps and a glowing staff on a sarcophagus.  Veldra avoids the traps and gingerly picks up the staff but runes along it burst into flame.  The soldier grits her teeth and bears it and soon the pain fades and the runes quiet.<code class="bbCodeInline">I have neglected to mention that very early in the campaign the party alternatively adopted, kidnapped, or brainwashed a kobold named Kith who has become something of a mascot or ward of the party.</code></blockquote>
