SESSION 52026-03-13

Date: 2026-03-13

Summary

The party regrouped in the Eomane kitchen, tending to their wounds and debating their next move. Seris recovered her rapier from the wreckage of the previous battle while Velessa investigated a shimmering magical seal on the back door, going so far as to give it a curious lick before concluding it was divine in nature — bound to Bhaal himself. The group agreed that the remaining Eomane family members should be given the chance to surrender, though they would not hesitate to use force if necessary. Minerva al-Qadir volunteered to remain on the ground floor to watch over Beatrice Provoss and Lily Chazman while the others pressed deeper into the house.

Ascending to the upper floor, the party found themselves in a grand central corridor lined with fine woodwork and portraits of the Eomane family, their painted eyes watching with the quiet confidence of old money. At the far end, glass double doors opened onto a balcony, and through them stepped Russora Eomane, the younger daughter, moving with deliberate poise as though she were joining a salon rather than a slaughter. A winged imp with needle teeth perched on her shoulder, and three more of the creatures slipped from side rooms to flank the party. With a delicate pet of one of her imps, Russora smiled and commanded them to attack, and the creatures vanished into invisibility.

The battle that followed was chaotic and stinging. The invisible imps darted through the air, striking with their venomous stingers before disappearing again into the dark. Shane fired a well-placed arrow at Russora herself, drawing blood and a furious shriek, while Seris stood ready to cut down anything that came within reach. Séantal launched glowing wisps of arcane light to illuminate and harry the creatures, and Velessa's crossbow bolts found their marks despite the imps' evasive fluttering. One by one, the imps were destroyed, each dissolving into a fluttery puddle of infernal dust as they fell, until Russora stood alone and furious, her pets gone.

Faced with the full force of the party and no allies left, Russora's bravado crumbled. She admitted, with some embarrassment, that her entire threatening speech had been her father's idea — he had simply told her to be scary. She revealed she was originally from Menzoberranzan but now followed Eilistraee, and that the whole Bhaalist ritual had been Trentellar's scheme, not hers. The party restrained her with magic rope and turned their attention to the rest of the floor.

Searching the guest room, the party uncovered a letter written on expensive black-edged parchment with ink that shimmered faintly red in the light. Addressed to Trentellar Eomane and signed only with the initials "S.T.", the letter detailed an arrangement for the transfer of something called the Calamus Pactum — an infernal artifact — to a servant named Maelra Szandru, who might arrive in disguise. The writer instructed Trentellar to make a deadly game of the handoff, burying the artifact beneath panic and ritual slaughter, and warned in cold, patient language that failure would have consequences felt far beyond the walls of the house. Seris also noted that the Calimshan-style clothing in the room was a cheap imitation, lacking the craftsmanship of the real thing.

Russora's diary, found in her sparse, brimstone-scented room, revealed something else entirely: she had been secretly receiving lessons in infernal lore from a red-haired woman named Mizora, known to move in the highest circles of Baldur's Gate as an advisor close to Duke Wyll Ravengard. The party filed this away as a troubling thread to pull later. When they reached the door to Nysene's room, Shane picked the lock and came face to face with a gigantic, crudely whip-stitched plush dire wolf — which immediately bared its teeth and lunged. The body of the butler lay dead at the far end of the room, marked with distinctive shoe prints.

The battle with Nysene's animated toys was brief but bizarre. Seris cut the plush dire wolf apart at the seams, its stuffing spilling across the floor, while a giant stuffed rat and an animated badger joined the fray in its place. Velessa appealed to Nysene directly, pointing out that her sister had already surrendered and that their mother was dead. The appeal worked — Nysene deactivated her toys, retrieved her beloved badger, and was led to be restrained alongside Russora, the two sisters immediately falling into bickering the moment they were reunited.

After a brief rest, the party climbed to the rooftop garden, where the night air hit them cold and sharp with the scent of wet stone and clipped greenery. Trentellar Eomane stood among the precisely trimmed hedges and pale flowers as though he had been waiting for them, hands clasped behind his back, expression calm and almost reverent. Seris did not wait for pleasantries — she charged across the garden and struck him with a devastating blow empowered by holy light, leaving him staggered and bloodied. Velessa delivered the killing strike, and Trentellar crumpled to the ground, his final words a murmured offering to Bhaal: "Lord Bhaal, accept my sacrifice." The remaining Bhaalist servants refused to yield and were cut down in the fight that followed.

As the last servant fell, the ghostly figure of an older man in faded Balduran finery materialized in the garden, his eyes fixed on the fallen patriarch with an expression not of triumph but of exhaustion. He introduced himself as Fellumbur Delce, the true owner of the house before Trentellar had stolen it from him through murder. He directed the party to a loose stone in the garden corner, beneath which lay a lockbox containing the deed to the property, and told them that whatever the glowing quill in the storehouse was, he could not approach it — it burned him. With a slight bow, Fellumbur Delce faded from the world, finally at rest.

The deed in hand, the party descended to the storehouse, where a feather quill with an unearthly red glow floated inside a glass display case. Quillbit, the party's imp companion, identified it as the Calamus Pactum — a significant infernal artifact — but admitted her knowledge of it was limited and suggested seeking an expert, perhaps at the Devil's Fee. The party locked the storehouse door and left the quill undisturbed. They then gathered the bodies of the fallen cultists and servants into the mud room on the ground floor, a grim but necessary task.

When the party returned to the Eomane sisters, they informed Russora and Nysene that the house now belonged to them, leaving the girls technically homeless. Velessa offered a solution: she would interview both sisters as potential wizard apprentices, giving them a purpose and a reason to stay. The sisters exchanged a glance and reluctantly agreed, Russora with a sharp edge of pride and Nysene with considerably less enthusiasm. Beatrice Provoss and Lily Chazman prepared to depart, with Beatrice suggesting the academy library as a resource for researching the Calamus Pactum and briefly exchanging words with Seris about Kaela, Seris's young apprentice who had been attending the academy.

The final revelation of the night came from Minerva al-Qadir herself. As the others prepared to settle in, she flipped the hem of her robe to reveal a small silver crescent pin hidden within the lining — the mark of a Harper agent. She explained she had been undercover in the Eomane household for only a few weeks, investigating the family's Bhaalist ties, and had not expected to end up on the sacrificial altar herself. She expressed deep unease about the connection between the Bhaalists and a Thayan operative over an infernal artifact, calling it a strange and dangerous alliance. She requested permission to continue using her room and conducting her investigation in town, and the party agreed.

Séantal then produced the broken and bloodied Harper pin the group had recovered during an earlier investigation, and Minerva's composure faltered for just a moment. She identified it as belonging to her partner — the other agent who had been sent alongside her — and wrapped it reverently in a handkerchief, stowing it away with quiet grief. The party spent the remainder of the night gathering the dead and settling into the uneasy reality that they were now the owners of a house full of secrets, a locked infernal artifact, two reluctant young women in need of guidance, and a Harper agent sleeping down the hall. Velessa made a passing remark about cannibalism that earned her a long look from Minerva, and the night finally drew to a close with the party left to wonder what threads they had just pulled — and what would unravel next.

Short

The party regrouped in the Eomane household and pushed through its upper floors, confronting the younger daughter Russora Eomane, whose imp companions attacked invisibly before being destroyed one by one. With her allies gone, Russora's bravado collapsed — she admitted her threatening speech had been her father's idea, revealed she followed Eilistraee rather than Bhaal, and was restrained alongside her sister Nysene, whose animated plush toys were similarly dispatched after Velessa appealed to the girl's emotions. Searching the rooms, the party uncovered a damning letter addressed to Trentellar detailing the transfer of an infernal artifact called the Calamus Pactum, and Russora's diary revealed she had been receiving secret lessons in infernal lore from Mizora, a red-haired woman with close ties to Duke Wyll Ravengard — a troubling thread left for later.

The night culminated on the rooftop garden, where Trentellar Eomane was struck down by Seris and finished by Velessa, his dying words a quiet offering to Bhaal. The ghost of Palamber Dels, the house's true owner murdered by Trentellar, then appeared and directed the party to a hidden lockbox containing the property deed before fading peacefully from the world. The Calamus Pactum — a glowing infernal quill — was found in the storehouse and left undisturbed pending expert consultation. In the aftermath, Velessa offered the displaced Eomane sisters apprenticeships, and the party's most significant revelation came from Minerva al-Qadir, who exposed herself as an undercover Harper agent. When Séantal produced a broken Harper pin recovered earlier, Minerva quietly identified it as belonging to her partner — the other agent sent alongside her — and stowed it away with restrained grief. The party settled uneasily into their newly acquired house, now burdened with an infernal artifact, two reluctant apprentices, and a Harper agent sleeping down the hall.

Classic

Last we left off, our intrepid band of adventurers found themselves deep within the Eomane estate, a house of old money and older sins. After tending to their wounds in the kitchen and uncovering a divine seal bound to Bhaal himself upon the back door, the party pressed upward through the grand corridors of the upper floor. There, Russora Eomane awaited them with imperious poise and a shoulder full of imps — invisible, venomous, and utterly vicious. The battle was a stinging, chaotic affair, with the creatures darting in and out of sight, but one by one they were cut down, dissolved into infernal dust, until Russora stood alone. Her bravado crumbled quickly enough after that. She confessed the whole dramatic speech had been her father's idea, revealed herself as a follower of Eilistraee far removed from Trentellar's Bhaalist schemes, and was promptly restrained with magic rope. Her younger sister Nysene proved a different sort of challenge entirely — her room guarded by an enormous, crudely stitched plush dire wolf with very real teeth — but an appeal to her heart proved more effective than any blade, and she too was brought in peacefully, the two sisters immediately resuming a bickering that suggested they had never truly stopped.

The search of the upper floor yielded troubling intelligence. A letter on black-edged parchment, signed only with the initials "S.T.", detailed a cold and calculated arrangement involving an infernal artifact known as the Calamus Pactum — to be delivered through ritual slaughter, buried beneath panic and blood, to a servant named Maelra Szandru. And within Russora's diary, a more personal thread: secret lessons in infernal lore from a red-haired woman named Mizora, known to move in the highest circles of Baldur's Gate as an advisor close to Duke Wyll Ravengard himself. The party filed these threads away and pressed on to the rooftop garden, where Trentellar Eomane stood waiting among the pale flowers with the calm of a man who believed his god was watching. He was wrong about what that would save him from. Seris struck first and struck hard, and Velessa delivered the killing blow, Trentellar's final breath a murmured offering to Bhaal as he crumpled to the stone. In the silence that followed, the ghost of Palamber Dels — the house's true owner, murdered by Trentellar years before — materialized long enough to direct the party to a hidden lockbox containing the deed to the property, and then faded from the world at last, finally at rest.

Now, the dust has settled — or as much as it ever does in a house like this. The party finds themselves the unlikely owners of the Eomane estate, with two reluctant young women newly appointed as wizard apprentices, a locked storehouse containing a glowing infernal quill that no one is quite ready to touch, and a Harper agent sleeping down the hall who has just identified a broken, bloodied pin as belonging to her missing partner. The Calamus Pactum waits. The initials "S.T." wait. Mizora's name hangs in the air like smoke. And somewhere beneath all of it, the question of what Bhaal's servants were truly building toward — and whether it died with Trentellar, or merely paused. And so, we continue...
