After rescuing the dying Vaelle, The Trollskull Crushers head over to the refurbished windmill where Vaelle was told to deliver the stone to next.
When they arrive, the windmill seemed to be inhabited by homeless people, hoping to find the cultists who betrayed Vaelle they started breaking into the building.
Once inside they are instantly met by the homeless people squatting in the downstairs area of this building. One older looking man notices Skálmöld opening a door and quickly runs off into one of the back rooms, trying to board up the door.
After some conversation between the homeless men and The Trollskull Crushers and being told that some "strange people" also use to upstairs part of the windmill to told "weird stuff", Nithgrea ultimately manages to persuade on of them to show them where the cultists were hiding.
The party made its way upstairs and decided it would be a good idea to open all three doors leading to separate rooms at the same time.
Punko and Vaelle opened their door and flight of pidgeons who were nesting their instantly flew outside through the gaping hole in the roof, causing quite some noise.
Cracuta and Quertex opened their door and due to the building being in a state of disrepair, they fell through the floor, causing even more of a commotion.
Nithgrea and Skálmöld found behind their door someone else closing another door at the end of the room in front of them, they also found a pentagram inside their room, with some possible demonic runes inscribed in it.
Nithgrea and Skalmold start to break down the door while Punko & Vaelle join them. While Cracuta and Quertex are still downstairs, attempting to crawl out of the rubble of the broken floor they just sunk through. a fight breaks out between the rest of the party upstairs and two cultists they found after tearing the door between them to shreds.
After managing to break through the locked door, the party notices two cultists inside, handing over a small package to three Spined Devils hovering outside a window.
Punko fired of magic missiles, trying to interrupt the transaction, but when the magic missiles fly out of Punko's staff, a large explosion happens.
Punko feared on of his spell had malfunctioned while in fact it was caused by Quertex who had cast a thunderwave while still downstairs. The thunderwave caused the building to start breaking apart. Parts of the outer wall being are blown to pieces, a whole brick wall almost falling on top of the neighbours house. The floor that had already crumbled minutes before now breaking down even further, also causing the wall and floor of the connecting room where the cultists and the rest of the party are currently in to come crashing down.
Most of the people upstairs manage to avoid the danger, except for the two cultist who were now buried beneath the rubble together with Quertex.
Meanwhile, the spined devils took away the stone, flying low above the rooftops to avoid detection.
Nithgrea decided to follow the devils by flying after them, Skalmold decided to do the same by throwing their blink dagger up to the rooves, teleporting after it. Cracuta jumped from the window to the roof were Skalmold was standing, all while Punko went to rescue Quertex. Once he was fine they both followed on foot through the streets.
While leaving the now ruined windmill. The party notice Vaelle standing over the two cultists covered in rubble, as she plunges a dagger into both of their skulls.
During the chase, Nithgrea managed to put one to sleep, but the other spined devils were to quick to catch up to. The spined devils dive towards a carriage in the streets at some point. The party manages to catch up just in time as the devils hand over the package to what looks like and older Thiefling.
Another fight breaks out in the streets and on the rooftops. Cracuta manages to fish one of the spined devils out of the air by throwing a javelin with a rope attached to it. Nithgrea uses her holy smite to beat down on some other devils. Some imps who were hiding invisible on the roof of the carriage also join the fight, casting spells and generally being obtrusive.
The party tries their best to stop the carriage from leaving.
After a long fight, the party managed to defeat all the devils and imps, together with the horses drawing the carriage. The only one standing was the older thiefling holding the package. He tried to run of and disappear into the crowd that had now gathered around them in the streets but was caught by Cracuta using his wild barbarian magic to teleport to him. The thiefling dropped the package and ran off into the crowd.
After quite some effort and danger, The Trollskull Crushers finally got their hands on The Stone of Golorr. But just as they do they are arrested by a squad City Guard (Waterdeep) for multiple reasons such as: "Damaging property", "Vandalism", "Disturbing the peace", and more.
The party is escorted to the nearest jailhouse, and while inside they start magically attuning to The Stone of Golorr.
The stone is apparently capable of communicating to the person currently holding it, telling each of them some very personal information, seemingly reading their minds and emotions. Ultimately they also learn from the stone about the whereabouts of Dagult Neverember's treasure vault and what is needed the open the vault doors. They are also told that the vault is guarded by an Adult Gold Dragon named Aurinax.
The three keys needed to open the vault doors are:
- A Bronze Dragon Scale
- Sunlight
- A Beholder eyestalk
After learning all of this new information, they hear some commotion outside of their cell as they see their jail guard dropping dead to the ground while Hyustus Staget appears before them.
