• We get back on the Via Imperalis to escort Renault
• We sleep in a barn
  • Altaeum gets discriminated against
• We see some bodies on the road
  • Crimroses are growing on them
  • A hooded guy jumps us from the woods
    • green skin, covered in tattered robes, doesn’t speak well
  • We kill the guys and pick up a red gemstone
• Make it to Greenmont
  • City was hit hard by this day of reaping, much worse than usual
  • We meet with Duke Ganelon who had hired us to save Renault
    • He recognizes the Bug General we describe, says they are bad
    • Manheim was at the Fort of Halfhausen
      • Not at Greenmont during reaping
    • Bertus is around, east of the walls
    • The prince seems relieved/maybe a bit uncomfortable to be back
    • We promise to deliver a message to the king
  • Altaeum goes off to look for Bertus
    • He thinks Altaeum is weird
    • Last time Bertus saw Erdihn he was looking to recruit people to go to Sinslok
      • he was not in the best mood.
  • Rest of the party goes to the Chapel of the Oathsworn (Kaelen’s idea)
    • A priest claims there’s a demon in the basement that eats corpses or something
      • He’s arguing with an older priest about it
      • We barter for Holy Water as a reward if we check out the situation
    • Jørgen sends a bird to Altaeum to let him know what we found (he pulls up soon)
    • We go behind the alter into the Greenmont
      • There’s a 3 way passage:
        • We head left to investigate a blocked passage
          • Overturned coffin, hole made with picks, opens up into a room
          • We crawl through the hole into a basement, with bedrolls, mining equipment, a couple chests
          • We send Jørgen ahead to scout
            • He gets caught by some guards and chased back to the chapel
        • We head down the central passage
          • There’s no longer ornate individual coffins and instead a wall of them each filled with ash
          • There’s a large center coffin in the center of the room labeled as Seras
          • The inside of the coffin just has a tunnel leading deeper underground
          • At the bottom of the tunnel, there’s a further passageway
          • We also see wisps of light that seem to react to Barney doing magic
          • As we head down the passageway and get attacked by some glowing spirits
          • We find a large room with bone pillars
          • Kaelen attacks a bone pillar, which summons more glowing spirits that attack us
            • The spirits are singing??
          • We nearly get wiped, Barney runs deeper underground and finds a lush cavern
          • Altaeum clutches up and we win the fight
