PCs (3rd-level): Estel, Khalid, Rhys, Vladimir
The party uses guerrilla tactics to silently and rapidly eliminate more of the pirates. Eventually they come into contact with an acolyte of Eirat, capable of performing miracles in the name of the evil creature.
The fight becomes quite deadly, as the fortress is on alert, and more of the cultists join the fray. The PCs do not give up, and manage to defeat all the villains remaining in the keep.
In the nearby dock, a ship is about to set sail, captianed by Shoalar, the water-genasi chief mate, now the only remaining leader of the cultists. The PCs make an attempt to stop him, but Shoalar summons a gigantic tidal wave that almost kills the whole party. Shoalar makes his escape, promising revenge.
Having completed their mission, the PCs return home to rest, and then visit Thuriya in the temple of Nasri. Recognizing their valor, the priestess petitions her deity on the party's behalf, and receives a vision. In front of the eyes of those inside the temple, a scene from the pasts unfolds.
Jairo, Patriarch of the Aryian temple of Avani, handing the Alchemist's amulet to the Lord-Prince himself. Their involvement in the events of the last few days now clear, the PCs ponder on what to do next.
Plot twist! (but not so much...)
