Guydust tries to brighten his mood and create some rapport by telling him he's not the only one to feel that way and more words to that effect. When Goswin's guard is down the rogue quickly grabs the disc and as he does so he learns that the item is called the '''Seal of Souls''', and quite powerful, doing a lot of necrotic damage to him, the pink spots on his face opening into black eyes, before he slams it home in the recess.

			Everyone calms down and takes a breath. A minute or so later, running footsteps can be heard and three people arrive; '''lord and lady Ranhem and their daughter'''. The man sends his wife and children back upstairs, telling them how important it is to make sure the event at the mansion goes without a hitch and promising the party he will explain to them what is going on.

			In short; '''the artifact was created for the family shortly after the [[Collapse]] by a Duke of Hell and it is how they attained their position as Count of Ranhem'''. However, the item came with certain requirements. At age 16 every heir must pledge themselves to the Seal, if that should ever not happen, all ancestors, dating back to the one who made this deal will rise as undead with the sole intent to do as much damage as possible.

			The count had no idea that his son had found the crypt and the artifact, he is horrified the boy used it to create undead, he tells our friends that the family decided over six centuries ago to never use it again and so far they had kept to this. He promises that he will take extra precautions, lock the item away, to make sure something like this can never happen again and he asks them not to talk about this to anyone.

			They also discussed the Stone Dragon Cave with the count who lets them know in no uncertain terms that there is no such thing here; what there is, is a coal fire, which people seem to repeatedly interpret as a dragon snoring underground. He tells them they are free to explore the rest of the place, telling them he knows there are natural caverns deeper down. He doesn't know what the complex was used for in the past, only that is was likely of dwarven make and existed before New Monkhome was built, the crypt was added then as well.

			The man also explains that it's been quite difficult these days to make enough money to be able to afford the upkeep of the place but moving is not great, considering where the family crypt is and what their options would be. The party then comes up with ideas for making money; like making the 'dragon' cave a tourist destination or creating hot springs.

			The count goes back upstairs to help out with the event and our friends explore further, eventually finding what seems to be a dwarven kiva with a large ramp running down along the wall of the hundreds of feet deep chamber. As they make their way down they trigger a trap that shoves Dieter and Wallace down into the chamber, fortunately the bard has a Feather Fall spell. Guydust and Husk then jump over the trap only to land on a second one and to also be pushed over the edge. Dieter hears them coming and has a second spell ready for them.

			At the bottom they '''find the skeleton of what looks to be a dwarf'''. His clothes and leather armor are mostly gone and laying around him are the remains of an axe and a hammer with a spike. A crossbow exploded into many pieces, its marvelous silver inlay now all twisted up but a similar inlay can be seen on the obsidian amulet around the skeleton’s neck.

			Laying further away are a number of hizagkuur springs and folded umber hulk chitin plates, all twisted or outright destroyed. A backpack on the skeleton’s back has been mostly eaten away, the same goes for much of its contents. What’s left is some torches, a mess kit, a holy symbol of [[Ulaa]], a sergeant’s insignia, a dried tentacle, and a playing card with strange writing on it, in remarkably good condition.

			Husk immediately grabs the playing card. There is writing on the back of it: “I know you never felt truly at home, Della.” When he brings the card close to his [[Deck of the Dealer]] it merges with it, though the card count stays at 54, and gives it the House of Cards property.

			Further exploration leads to a cavern where the only other exit has collapsed and where one of the walls is much too hot to touch; the coal fire. The party returns to the mansion and since it's around nine in the evening decide to stay the night. Wallace tries to approach one of the armor smiths at the conference but the count escorts him from the room. The next morning the druid gets to explain; he thinks the count might be able to sell the remains of what they found below; a collapsible shield to someone and make money that way.

			==== Getting a Head ====
			On their way back to Avale our friends stay the night in the '''town of Balmer'''. They have a drink at the Lumber Hulk tavern where they spot '''a rather strange looking woman'''. Some people at another table keep looking over at her, but then, most people are. But those four rush over to start a brawl with her, hoping to garner glory by bringing her down. Dieter figures out their intent and moves before they do, interposing himself between the woman and the four.

			Our other friends jump in the fray and help the woman, not that she really needs it; four drunk villagers are no match for her. Husk also comes to her table and trying to be his most charming, tells her: “seven foot tall, red fur, terrifying eyes, if you’ve also have the equipment, I might have found my most specific weakness.” When later Guydust tries to throw a bottle at one of the brawlers but misses, the gambler grabs the bottle in mid-air and pours the woman at the table a full glass.

			Afterwards she buys them a drink and Husk makes toast: "to terrifyingly beautiful women and terrible decisions we are going to make". The party learns that she is '''[[Chrysanthemum]], a bounty hunter'''. They enjoy some time together, trading stories, etc. When she calls it a night, she and Husk go to her inn together. Then Guydust is approached by a young couple to join them for a night of fun at their home, which he agrees to.
			[[File:Lelio bust.jpg\|right\|375x375px]]
			The next morning our friends are approached by a '''bald halfling woman with a missing left hand'''. She says she saw them at the tavern last night and wants to hire them. “'''Bring me the head of Lelio Euphorbia''',” she tells them, to then explain that it's a bust that was kept in the lobby of the Critical Hit Theater. She is the current owner and Lelio was the founder. She suspects that it was stolen by someone from the new theater that opened across town recently; the Natural One Lounge.

			The woman's niece, Hilna, was present when the bust was stolen and saw the thief. She'll be at the Critical Hit after lunch and our friends decide to go check out the Natural One Lounge. It looks to be empty and Guydust has no trouble opening the lock on the backdoor. The lock on the manager's office also poses no problem. The safe is a bit more tricky but with the help of [[Phlegethos’ Pick]] it soon stands open. Inside is a bag containing 43 gp worth of mostly silver pieces.

			There's no evidence of the bust or any clues to its whereabouts. By this point the sound of conversation about the backdoor being unlocked has alerted the party that people have arrived. Wallace is on the main stage, wild shapes into a cat, and starts meowing loudly. The two people come over, wondering how a cat got in; the door was unlocked but closed.

			Husk and Guydust then come over and claim to be there for a surprise plumbing inspection, Guydust had indeed written down "Plumbing Inspectors" on a piece of paper. They are so convincing in their bluff that the two people are flabbergasted. Wallace Cat climbs into the curtains, giving Husk a moment to use an illusion spell to create the image of a key off to the side. “The key is over there,” he tells them, as they claimed they had a spare key given by the constructor who built the place. Guydust then pretends to drop it between floorboards and they all leave.

			They have a nice, early lunch and then go to the Critical Hit Theater and learn from niece Hilna the robber's description though it's not very detailed or distinctive. However, she also says she found a little piece of fabric trapped in the doorway, likely coming from the man's cloak.

	We will likely never know what happened, if this power even existed, or if anything could control it. But something did happen, witnesses at the time '''described it as the sky falling down'''. The '''capital city of Banad-Gathol''', where the ritual took place, '''exploded outwards in a wave of destructive magic that did not stop for ~~thousands~~ of miles and obliterated everything in its path'''.

The '''capital city of Banad-Gathol''', where the ritual took place, '''exploded outwards in a wave of destructive magic that did not stop for hundreds of miles and obliterated everything in its path'''.

	But the destruction on the ground was nothing compared to that of the home of the gods. '''All the gods' divine essence was snuffed out in an instant and the gods were no longer. The same was true for magic; it either left the world entirely, or at the very least stopped functioning.'''		But the destruction on the ground was nothing compared to that of the home of the gods.

This had a profound effect on the more magical races and on any nation, ruler, or other power that relied mostly on divine or arcane magic; '''the world and the power balance changed dramatically'''. '''Shathûr magic no longer worked''', and though over the ages many have tried to bring it back, it has never worked again.

 The shard is now quite inert and perfectly safe, however, returning its original function seems quite difficult, they'd need Era of Strife magic, a spell or item, something related to water magic, which was not very common at the time. Phiceli doesn’t have anything that could do the trick but she’ll reach out to some people to see if anyone has something helpful.

	Discovered soon after the Collapse, this '''massive sinkhole''' far from civilization has become a destination for fortune hunters convinced something of great value can be found here. What it definitely has is great natural beauty. It is '''about 75 meters in diameter and the water surface is nearly 30 meters below ground level''' with the walls covered in different mosses and lichens. The slightly purplish '''water is quite deep, likely around 50 meters''', no branching caverns have been found. Red catfish are abundant, they are apparently not very tasty and the water is hardly potable.

			The '''number of members is higher here than in any other city''', so much so that active opposition has mostly vanished, leaving detractors to hope the organization is merely chasing the impossible. A few stalwart critics still publicly decry their goals, but '''pressure from powerful members leads to swift social ostracization'''. Notable members include '''Sirke Gastraes''' (female dwarf), the city's '''burgomeister'''; '''Asrynda Lostrac''' (female dwarf), its '''most celebrated playwright'''; and '''Taldor Malvo'''n (male dwarf), a '''mage and adventurer''' who holds the record for the most forays into the [[Haklur Desert]].
