Scions of Punjar (DCC), Part 3: Investigation Reboot!!!

-
Cast:
Keith as Rayburn the Thief and Emyrs the Elf
Kathy as Kiya the Albino Halfling, Kitilia the Albino Dwarf, Kilcia the Albino Cleric of Mardua
John as Badger the Child/Cat Wizard and Amar the Desert Marauder
The session started with the group at Habbib's Tavern, still licking their wounds from the foray to the tomb of the Dev'shirs. After some healing, the group decided to return to Oskars Pawn Shop to get the information of who sold the necklace to him. Again, the group was too cheap to pay Oskar's price...butKilcia used her ring of Commune with Spirits to summon a former owner of the establishment...Oskar's father. The chance to speak with his long dead da made it worth Oskar's effort to tell that the guy that sold the necklace was Latimer, a hulking brute who clearly had a good bit of orc blood in him. He could be found after dark at the Hungry Froggollith tavern. 
The party went back to Habbib's to plan, and were attacked by six thugs.After a moment of concern, the thugs were soundly dispatched...helping the party feel a little better about themselves. But then, Badger inadvertently summoned a Bear Demon, which nearly killed the cat wizard before teleporting back to who-knows-where. But, looting the thugs yielded maybe 100gp of gear.
Heading to "The Frog" the group got to a table and found the place was the happening joint in the Devil's Thumb (a bad part of Punjar). That said, it was a good time. Sometime around nine bells, Latimer arrived.Badger met him at the bar and the two hit it off. Latimer told Badger he was with a group of bandits called The Crimson Hand, they had a lair in an abandoned iron mine outside of town, the entrance was at the east end of the valley floor between two old oak trees. The band was working for a witch who had them exhuming bodies from the City of the Dead. The pay was high and the work easy, the witch is tall thin and wears black robes...he just calls her the Witch. The leader of the gang is Halendron...he's OK. Better than Latimer's old gang The Slayers Guild. They were dicks...
About this time, the rest of the party, handing back saw a red skinned man and two hooded men approaching Latimer from behind. Before they could react, a fight was on. Latimer dealt a good bit of damage himself, and Badger cast spider web on a couple of the attackers. The red skinned man cast flaming hands at Badger and incinerated most of the combatants. Badger responded with Magic Missile and deleted the red man. The second assassin finished off Latimer, but was cut down by the rest of the party. Kilcea lept the bar to save Badger...again. The final assassin ran for it, but Amar dropped him outside of the bar with a thrown scimitar. 
The group stumbled back to Habbib' happy that they now had a solid lead on who was robbing graves, and all still mostly well off.

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
