(I say we give it to laladek as he can more easily carry shadow or the stalker out. If nobody has objections...) Alben gets the anti-venom from shadow's pack and feeds it to Laladek.
Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. I have gotten burned out with D&D and I'm taking a break from the game. Hopefully I will be back in the saddle by mid November or early December. I know that so or all of you may not be interested in continuing after a long break and I will send out a PM when/if I make it back to see if everyone is still willing to play.
I am planning on starting back up in the new year. I've sent PM's to everyone to see if you are all interested in continuing. I've heard back from everyone except for dndpro100. So far everyone is fine with the idea, but Keneux deleted his character and needs to roll him back up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After being almost killed in the last battle Fario keeps watch with his bow while Alben and Tyris administer Antitoxin to Laladak after searching through everyone's backpacks and finding a single dose in Shadow's bag. While Oreus and Fellian secure the sleeping stalker.
Deciding you need help Alben taket note of what rooms you have already searched using his detect magic (see posts 2296; 2297; and 2302 on page 115), and then the party carrying Shadow and the prisoner, Laladak is able to walk but that is about all, heads up to town and goes to the Church of St. Cuthbert for healing and restoration. Jenya herself casts Lesser Restoration on Shadow and Laladak disspelling the effects of the posion, and then casts Mass Healing Word twice on everyone in the party for a total of 8 (I just rolled 2d4 + 6 to do it twice). One of her clerics speaks Undercommon and after waking the almost invisible stalker up, interrogates him. His name is Yuathyb, and he doesn't know why he is slowing turning invisible, but he is terrified about it, and if you can heal him, he will tell you everything he knows. After the cleric promises to try to cure him, he tells you the following information...
He is the leader of the Dark Creepers who entered Jzadirune to loot the abandoned city about a year ago.
A few months after they arrived, a coterie of skulks invaded Jzadirune. After a few brief skirmishes Their leader a half-troll slaver called Kazmojen and Yuathyb formed a truce.
Yuathyb was hired by Kazmojen to oversee his Skulk minions. Kazmojen uses the skulks as spies and kidnappers in Cauldron. Kidnapping the unnoticed citizens for his slave trade.
Kazmojen is running his slave trade in a bazaar he built inside The Malachite Fortress, below the city of Jzadirune.
He tells you how to find the elevator to the Malachite Fortress, but that is old news to the party.
He says that since he started becoming transparent, he has mostly been guarding the looted treasure, he and his dark creeper have amassed in a secret room off of the Glassblowing Workshop.
Before you leave you get his word that everything that he has looted, is now yours by right of conquest. After agreeing with you, he reluctantly hands over his possessions, thet are
(OoC: I just spent 3 hours going through the game and tallied all the loot the party has found. Here it is

Party loot payout everyone get 341gp, 16sp, 6 cp (post 1642)
This list is now at the bottom of the notes section of the campaign page and I will be editing it as more is found/bought.
Please note, I didn't read any of the posts where you might have used some of the items, and I may have missed a few things.
Laladak take note that you are wearing a fine cloak that you know is magical, but you haven't identified it yet .
The other magical item that haven't been identified is the wand from J22. And you have a few non-magical items that you don't know if they are valuable or not.
If you want to spend part of your long rest identifying those magical items let me know.
Also you guys might want to buy more healing potions while you are still at the church, 40gp each.
Do you want to
Head straight to the elevator to the Malachite Fortress or
Do you want to investigate the glowing secret doorway (which you can now deduce is the treasure room Yuathyb was talking about) or
Have Alben continue using his detect magic spell (see the map in post 2296) from the point you got attacked in the Glassblowing Workshop?
(BTW Alben when I contacted him said, he may not be able to post during work week except for once a day. I asked him if it would be ok if I posted for his when in combat and he is fine with that.)
Ooc: I changed job and I cannot access the website by my new laptop, it's now impossible for me to keep track of the common loot, if somebody else is able, is more than welcome. I did not understand how many gold coins each of us shall write down, currently I have 1gp and something... It looks very unlikely...
Oreus wakes up, takes a short breakfast with his beloved biscuits and replies to Ladalak :
"Friend, let's get to the magician shop, I want to know more about this wand. Or just wait for me while doing anything else, let's say we meet here at midday,?! Anyway at least now we have some clues even if I wonder how such criminal organization got unnoticed... Unless there are higher powers involved... I don't even want to think about it "
He then heads to the shop
Ooc: cutting it short for the sake of typing, anyone is free to join Oreus or not
If that's the case then Laladak will train and hangout at the Guard's Barracks until its time to meet up.
Laladak nods at Oreus. "Slavery is a problem where I come from as well. Beeftown worked hard to become a free city. I need to get stronger if we are going to break the yoke of bondage here." Laladak pauses for a moment and shakes his head. "I'm becoming my mother."
Laladak spends an hour of his long rest (normally this is done during a short rest, but I did ask if you wanted to include it in your long rest) studying the cloak. As he spends time with the cloak he becomes aware that in is a Cloak of Nystul's Magical Aura (I believe that you should be able to view it from the equipment page of your character sheet, and from the spoiler below).
Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement by a a short rest focused on only that item while being in physical contact with it (this can’t be the same short rest used to learn the item’s properties).)
While you wearing and attuned to this cloak you, you and everything you carry is concealed by both effects of Nystul’s Magic Aura.
Add the feat "Nystul’s Magic Aura (Item Feat)" to your character sheet while you are attuned to the cloak.
Notes: Feat: Choose a Feat, A short rest focused on only that item while being in physical contact with it (this can’t be the same short rest used to learn the item’s properties).
After waking up you all decide to head to Skie's Treasury. As you enter the door of her shop, she looks up and smilsmi exclaims "Why if it isn't The Unlucky Bastards of Justice." Please come in and tell more of your adventures. Have you found theth missing children already?"
I believe that Alben might have been compiling a few notes for your next visit, but anyone is welcome to add something. Remember she likes to live the Adventurous life through Adventurers like you, and won't do business until she is satisfied.
(I say we give it to laladek as he can more easily carry shadow or the stalker out. If nobody has objections...) Alben gets the anti-venom from shadow's pack and feeds it to Laladek.

OUT OF GAME:

I am super ready
Happy new year to everyone

OOC:
Ok, I just renewed my subscription and content sharing is enabled. Waiting for Laladak to attach his character to the campaign page link below
https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/136806
While waiting for Laladak to finish rebuilding his character, I am going to move you forward a little bit in the next post

You spend a Day Resting (so everyone can take a long rest, easier for me 😀)
Feeling a bit better you again set out, leaving Yuathyb in the care of the Church.
How do you want to proceed?
Ooc: to understand the lore, is slavery legal?
,
No slavery is not legal, but for a high enough price anything can be bought.
(Hey everyone, Im back in the mix and added my character. I might be missing some items and gold but I got the rest.)
"Lets descend into the malachite fortress and wipe that piss stain of a half troll off the map."
I got alot a doods

Cool, Laladak would like to identify the cloak and check out the treasure room before taking the elevator.
