Episode 6: Farmageddon

Farmageddon  Episode guide

Recap
Episode 6: Farmageddon starts off as the party has just defeated a large number of cultists at the farm south of Iwyx Point. The party ties up the remaining unconscious cultists. Pyrilynn takes all there clothes from them and her and Cae loot the bodies of the dead cultists.

Faolán and Sai decide to go try to talk to the pigs in the back of the farmhouse. Faolán uses his beast speech ability to talk to them. He finds out from the pigs that the cultists came from the east. Sai then throws food at a pig which ends up angering the pigs and they get no further information from them.

Meanwhile Pyrilynn stabilizes the tiefling and then interrogates the Duergar. The Duergar tell them that the captives are kept relatively safe and happy. Also told the party that they need people to dream to keep the demon at the center of the whirlpool from awakening. Apparently that is what it is fed by. They also learn about some more of the compound of the Cult of Septos. Pyrilynn then gives them the option to die in battle and a battle ensues. Of course it is really one sided and the party members make short work of them.

At the same time this is happening Cae, Silen and Rhys go to interrogate Effrien who Terrance has already tied up. Terrance leaves however. She tells them that the Cult of Septos took her husband about six months ago. She tells them that she regularly is checked on by a purple tiefling named Malthor that had given her the sending stone to notify them if anyone came looking for the cult.

Effrien tells them that previously when her other band of adventurers had been searching for the cult after driving them away from Nekora they could not find them. Felix went mad when they were in Vlae Rhumid searching because of how warped magic is there. She tells them of her other party member named Jude Morrigan a drow elf sorcerer. She has a tavern in Nekora. They are also told that the party Effrien was a part of was hired by a elf in Floxora named Nostacalese who was a high ranking government official but not a part of the Elven Council. The party decides to let her live and leaves her tied up and unconscious.

The party decides to get some rest sleeping behind the barn of a nieghboring farm. On Sai and Rhys's watch we learn Sai was once a torturer. Sai goes to walk around the barn and they see the farmhouse light come on and Rhys decides to go investigate and rolls a terrible stealth check. He trips over a resting sheep and it starts freaking out. Sai throws his javelin through it to silence it. Rhys casts a minor illusion to hide the body.

Moments later four dire wolves and three cultists come charging at them. The rest of the party is awoken to the sound of battle and a battle ensues. The party has a hard time since they hadn't had a full rest and were mostly magically depleted. They are however some what victorious as one cultist and two dire wolves escaped into another barn that held another teleportation circle.
