Abyss Modified Session 13, Many Missions

Spoilers for Out of the Abyss 

The group was led to a small tavern called the Foaming Mug within the city to recover from their travels, both food and bed was provided for free with Xanaphia preforming music for the owner. The group was watched by a guard that was assigned to them, having only a sketchy magic item vendor vouch for them. The group noticed outward distrust towards Dinak, the gnomes did not care for having a drow in the city, but if Keg vouched for him, they would tolerate it. Dinak also saw a ghost while they were walking. In the morning they were led to the Mattocks, the rulers of the city and were given a slew of quests from various figures important in the city in exchange for transit towards the surface. The gnomes had history with some of the surface folk of Mithril Hall and the like. They were tasked with sanctifying a temple, deal with some of the restless undead in the area, kill another medusa, find out where the ooze creatures were coming from and where they were going, and possibly destroy the wererats.

They purchased some potions, realizing they had little in the way of money or things to trade, and went off to save the temple. They had a guard that traveled with them that was nicknamed Henchie, he proved to be useless in combat. They traveled into more dangerous parts of the city, eventually finding the desecrated temple. When they approached, an earth elemental attacked them as well as two gargoyles, all with strange runes across their brow. Slim Jim almost was flung from the platform into the city below and the combat was fierce. The elemental was eventually brought down and both gargoyles crushed. The temple became sanctified and their goal complete. 

On their way back to the city proper they encountered a specter, which was destroyed by Orion rather quickly, and a ghost, which almost killed Slim Jim, aged Godric forty years, and it fled. The ghost was strange and looked like an elderly gnome clutching its chest. Silm Jim caught up with the ghost, not sure where it was leading him and found some treasure and the ghost’s body, which they are taking back to town to properly bury.
