Chapter Three: The Last Dream of Mirza Horgul

Shamush fingers the beads and lifts them up to examine them in the dim light. He squints at the wasps and says with some admiration, "This would make a nice necklace... I say nice, but maybe, uh, "interesting" is the better word." He looks to Felor and Vad, and asks, "What did all this stuff do? Any idea? What kind of person can make something like this?"

Leth breathes a sigh of relief when The Implacable finally goes down, and hovers over Felor's shoulder as he inspects the construct's innards. Having next to no knowledge of Magic and it's varied applications, however, he is pretty lost as to what any of it means, and doesn't even try to offer his own theories. He does, however, perk up when Zangua mentions taking a break to recover a bit.
"I agree... That catchpole really did a number on me as well." Leth says, eyeing the weapon in Zangua's hands.

From roaming about the cavern a bit while the others examine the entrails, are there any potential campsites where the party wouldn't be immediately visible to any trolls or werebadgers passing through?

Mordred waves the party over to a comfy alcove and sets up a simple camp. He offers to take first watch and begins patching his armor and memorizing spells.

Thankful for the break, Zangua spends some time recalling his training with polearms and staffs. He studies the catchpole to figure out the best way to use it for the benefit of good, this time around.

As they settle down to rest, Felor will inspect Zangua and Leth's wounds caused by the catchpole to check for any signs of poisoning.

Take the three items with some value (cage, beads, and tablets), plus the cracked gem, I reckon?

There were several days of rations in her pack, IIRC. I deleted it from Party Loot when I gave it back to her.

Not sure what I think about keeping The Implacable's gullyworks. Might be nice to have proof we killed it, but I worry about Adan being able to track it somehow. Hopefully his power to track Zora ended with the robot.

Mordred is going to take another look at the goblin treasure and see if any of it means anything.

ETA: We OK to heal up and recharge spell slots and whatnot?

Zangua is perfectly willing to pocket some of the expensive-looking items from the guts of the Implacable, if no one else takes them (he knows Shamush took the beaded wasp necklace). Thoughts of magical tracking are too foreign for him to ignore the apparent profit from their sale or trade.

It's also on my character sheet under Party Loot, FYI. I've removed things that were used or claimed by individuals (like the sword).

The rest of the party setting up camp, Felor lowers his weary body to the ground. The battle with the construct had been traumatic, with his friends receiving grievous - but thankfully non-life-threatening - injuries. For a while there he had honestly thought this mechanical creature could not be defeated. It seemed even his god had forsaken him for a time - he had called for her aid but none had been forthcoming.
Fjorgyn was not a fierce god for the most part. She was slow to anger; stoic; as immovable and as indifferent as a mountain range. But when roused, she had the power of an avalanche - unstoppable and all-consuming.
Maybe the party's petty troubles with a construct and a missing orb were below Fjorgyn's concern? It could be that their destiny here was to find justice with the sweat of their own brow, and the blood from their own veins, without divine intervention.
But for now it was time to rest, and meditate on their continued quest.

Mordred looks over at Zora before he gets into his bedroll. "You said you had to deliver the tile to someone in Hazard at.. a trading company, I think you said? Who is this person exactly, and how much do you know about them? Maybe one of us knows something of them or their company." Having secretly held on to the tile, Mordred hopes this question doesn't spur her to check her pack for it, but she seemed to be hiding something earlier, and he wants to get to the bottom of it.

Do I know/remember anything about her mother from her or Edvers?
