Session 003: Toll the Bell

While the party continues questioning their prisoners, a forest gnome named Brynwick has entered Little Grove. Sent out of Spriggan by Oghma on a quest to “Fill the Scroll”, Bryn inadvertently interrupts the interrogation. Jii and Rylan investigate the newcomer, and determining that she is trustworthy, give her the option of going back to her rooms or staying with the party; she stays.

After finishing their questioning and Rylan uses poisons to wipe clean the prisoner’s memories, the group continues to search for the tunnels rumored to run under Littlegrove. Following a trail of clues to the local cemetery, they find an unsettling scene: open graves, recently-made corpses, and a mausoleum locked with an abyssal symbol. Various items are looted from the graves around, and it is revealed that all of the graves had magical items inside. Jii breaks open the door and the party discover a ceremony-in-progress involving red candles and a sealed jar.

They interrupt the ritual and search the interior. The jar contains eyes, and Bryn and Rylan detect a tunnel running under the burial ground, one giving off distinctly evil vibes. The entrance to the tunnel appears blocked by a sarcophagus, which Fuego struggles to open. As the lid slides off, a tentacle emerges – a tentacle with an eye attached to it.

The party ends the episode facing a beholder rising from the tunnel.
