[QUOTE="Seule, post: 596055, member: 407"] [b]Spoilers: Madness in Freeport[/b] Case 3266 The Case of the Jade Snake Statue, part 1 It all started when the team was invited to a pre-lighthouse party to receive the Medal of Drac for our role in rooting out Ex-Councilor Verlaine and his Temple of the Yellow Sign. A few hours into the party a strange man walked into the ballroom and made a cryptic announcement about the Cult of the Yellow Sign and that they would strike soon and be unstoppable and that the only thing that could hope to defeat their plan was a jade snake statue of the ancient God of the Snakepeople.
