Game summary for November 25, 2014, Carrion Crown Adventure Path campaign, Ashes at Dawn adventure; PCs included Dario Malavasi (human afflicted dire werewolf oracle), Gnok Thatek (dwarf vampire monk), Thrain (dwarf slayer), and Zeddicus Zu’l Zorander (human abjurer/cleric/mystic theurge) accompanied by NPC companion Nyssa Pagonis (human cleric).
The group scrambled up to the second floor to investigate the coffin and try and kill Aisa but found the coffin empty. They went back downstairs and met a blood knight that believed Gnok was Hetna. He gave the knight an order, and it seemed to realize he was not the witch. It yelled and charged the party! It spewed forth gouts of caustic poisonous blood all over the party, and Nyssa began retching and screaming. Several of the party fell in the slippery blood or dropped weapons due to the slickness. It took several strong hits but the team took it down.
The group then ran into Halloran Idriss again, and surrendered his weapons and told them the location of Aisa’s coffin. He then went to the surface to greet the sun. The team followed his directions and triggered a symbol of fear that drove Nyssa screaming down the hall. After calming her down, the group continued on. They found a stone sarcophagus containing Aisa! The party staked her, cut off her head, and then dumped her body parts in the flowing river outside.
The team returned to Caliphas and the inn. The next evening they received a letter from Ramoska Arkminos giving them more information about the Whispering Way’s plans and telling them to head to the fearsome fortress of Renchurch!
