After
2 weeks, Sister Remia awakes from her coma and summons whatever party members
are still in Kleine. She tells the group
that the real leader of the orcish attack was an evil cleric of Asmodeus. She never heard his name, but knew that he
was working with someone else in the raid on Kleine. When the party confirms that they had not encountered
this priest, Sister Remia implores them to return to the orc cave and
investigate it more fully. The priest
tortured Remia frequently so he must maintain a room in the caves. Sister Remia is still too weak to perform
magic but assures the cursed party members that she can perform a ritual to
help them in a few months or so. The mayor of
Kleine also offers a reward for the cleric’s head if the party does this task
for the church of Erastil. If the party
fails to slay the cleric but manage to stop him, the group receives a lesser
reward.
During
a routine watch, Bellen hears of a common man’s murder during the
festival. It would appear that the orc
attack was not the only problem the town faced that day. David was murdered in his home. The guard captain, Jennel, tells Bellen the
town was secured about 3 hours after the party left to find Sister Remia. The discovery of David’s death was a week
after Sister Remia awakes from the coma.
It is unlikely the two are connected because David was slain by magic,
his body was severly burned, but nothing else in the room was even singed. The remains were also scattered about.
