Mission Briefing
A young woman was found murdred brutally, shredded and clawed by a wild beast, in the woods just outside Astley.
Clarabel coincidentally ran like a werewolf into the night the same night and though she only remembers flashes of what happened she saw the body.
Winston woke Clarabel in her room, all muddied and dishevelled, with a fingernail in her mouth.
We investigated the site of discovery, found tracks that indicated the body of miri sangstrup had been dragged into the woods from the city.
We did a background check on Miri with her father at the Sangstrup household, where we learned of her fiancee and that she had a close friend in the city, named Elvira.
Investigating the market, asking around about Miri and her possible friend led us to the den brækkede knogle tavern where Elvira worked as a pleasure girl.
Elvira told us she attended a nightly activity on a regular basis, but she did not wish to reveal anymore than that. Upon further encouragement she chose to reveal the name Lord Alistair and upon this utterance a terrible curse named The strangle voice curse took effect upon the poor girl. Her heart burst and blood gushed from her mouth.
The keep of the tavern den brækkede knogle was of no help, she was more concerned with the city guard not showing up.
We summoned the memory of Elvira back into her body and asked her 5, not 4 and not 6 questions.
Who killed Miri? : I do not know
Why was Miri killed?: She discovered us
Who cursed you to be silent?: Rich lady in a black n red dress (later to be discovered to be Lady lucille vitano)
It would seem that Lord Alistair & Lady lucille vitano also sent souls to hell. The room in the basement is filled with mirrors that act as a viewing portal to all the souls they have sent there. We saw this in action as Lady lucille vitano sent one of our souls there.
Lord Marshal Viggo Trenten invoked the name GRAZZT, which we believe to be some kind of Fiend lord, perhaps this is the one they all served
Lord Steffan blast fingers was willing to name names of other rich and powerful people involved in the cult club, but Mielikki's divine intervention sent him to the abyss and saved our friend's soul.
We have yet to discover at way to save all the souls
Further investigation of the Alistair estate revelaed that the real Lord Alistair is a victim as well and his soul is also trapped in hell. The fiend we encountered has used his form, name and position to further his cultist ends.
