#19 Jorlan: The Resident Omega

Location: Blingdenstone

while in Rockblight, Party actively seeks out the medusa

Party finds 30 statues of drow warriors and determine that they were once people turned to stone

6 of them animate and while Party fights, Zaz sends his homunculus Minuet to search the area for the medusa

Party sneaks along the wall to avoid the other statues, entering Minuet's reported location

the medusa turns out to be Neheedra Duskryn, who Jorlan recognizes as his older sister
Party briefly talks with her, and Skjorn is mentioned as Jorlan's partner; Neheedra taunts Jorlan for sleeping with a man and not being good enough for women anymore

battle breaks out and Dibrael turns to stone

Jorlan gets the killing blow and Mylz collects the head for proof
Skjorn cures Dibrael and Dibrael heals Jorlan, who was specifically targeted by Neheedra
Zaz says "sorry for your life" to Jorlan

Party moves on to the desecrated temple nearby

Party inserts gems into the statue there and fights the earth elemental that attacks
after its defeat, a temple guardian is summoned and a beam of light appears, cleansing the temple

on the way back to the city, Zaz says that Skjorn was definitely a virgin before Jorlan

Jorlan lies for Skjorn's reputation (not that anyone ever believed it), saying he's the most experienced person he's ever slept with
Skjorn comments on Dibrael's virginity and is surprised that he and Zaz haven't fucked yet
- Jorlan says "it's possible they could have, people find ways to sneak away"

the next day, Party finishes up various quests

Party returns Udhask's remains to Jadger, the ghost in the catacombs, who then follows up on his promise
Party shows the medusa head to the guards as proof of her defeat and are rewarded with an expensive diamond
Party visits Gurnik Tapfinger, head priest of the Stoneheart Enclave, who gives each of them a blessing using the cleansed temple's energy

Party sees someone playing music with the vibrations of crystals

Party goes to town hall for scheduled meeting with Dorbo & Senni Diggermattock and Chipgrin

Chipgrin leads the party through the Goldwhisker Warrens and into the territory of the Pudding King

100s of slimes are gathered throughout the tunnels and caverns
- Chipgrin says this is worse than last time she was here and that they'll have to prepare for a major battle
she describes the Pudding King as a drow man with oddly short ears and dark hair
- Zaz commands Minuet to search for the Pudding King, but it finds nothing

Chipgrin returns to her clan and the party informs the Diggermattocks, who schedule a meeting for the next day with various factions in the city

Party returns to the inn with no more excitement
