Burning Witch Adventurers Session #37- The Basalt Mausoleum

Things may be a little out of sorts at the Burning Witch. The crowds have been a little light and the bar keep, Rosie, hasn't been seen in days. A stranger chewing on a steady supply of tooth picks is serving up the tavern's signature chestnut ale in her stead. On one end of the common table, though, a group of four adventurers reunite after many of them have been laid up with Yellow Fever. For them, for a moment, things are like they were eight months ago when the group were a fresh-faced lot newly arrived in Orm to see what adventure awaited. They talk of going to the market of the brothers to collect a serpent hide and see what action waits. On the following groups exit of the Witch, Thea Noir mentions a quick stop she needs to make along the way: 

• GaWoosh (Level 2 Gnome)
• Ur-Lek (Level 1 Vat Spawn Fighter)
• Hate Pit (Level 2 Vat Spawn)
• PakPak (Level 3 Kobold)
• Thea Noir (Level 3 Assassin)

The group returned without Thea Noir in their number but laden with the largest haul of treasure yet removed from 'The Complex'. The vibrancy of Hate Pit's red skin had dulled while PakPak has gone a little white around his snout.
