Session Summary
Late on the night 24th, Lu reads over the letters from her family and panics, waking Paolo up and telling him that he needs to take a bath right at that second. Taer also wakes up, and douses the room in water. After some more confusion, they all dry off (mostly) and Lu shares the letters from Gaz and Gioia with the group.

The next morning, right before dawn, Masina and Barrakas try to sneak out of the room. Masina succeeds, but Barrakas fails. Masina makes her way to the docks, where Quork sees something just past the horizon. It's a ship - the Deep Scion, and seems to be maintained by a skeleton crew.

Masina heads back to the room, where she informs the rest of the party what she saw. Taer recognizes the name of the ship, but knows it as a typical trading vessel, not something that would usually be staffed by the undead. The party heads over to the visiting temple, and deliver what food they need to deliver. Paolo asks Volya about whether or not the sickness is coming from the water. Lu shows Volya her letter, and Volya lets them know that the description doesn't match what they're seeing on the ground. Taer finds out that the disease resembles cholera, but the bacteria's comma shape is much smoother, more regularly curved, and seemingly more artificial than what you would typically find in a living creature.

Lu heads over to the burial/burning pits, where there is a guard posted, keeping people from getting a closer look. Then she meets up with Taer at the temple of Waukeen, where there is a long line to get cured of disease - whether or not those paying are diseased in the first place. They hit the gift shop.

Meanwhile, Masina and Barrakas head to the Palace District, where a Cleric of Waukeen checks them for disease before letting them pass through. They go shopping, first to Misti's Magical Menagerie, then to the Depotion, where the proprietor seemed to have some sort of connection for goods still coming into port.

Paolo spends his day helping out in the slums, then purifying water next to the slum's well.

In the early hours of the morning, Masina sneaks out again. This time, when she reaches the dock, she spies skeletons coming off of the ghost ship and storing supplies in a nearby warehouse. While there are guards nearby, their rounds do not take them within sight of the warehouse. Upon her return to the room, the party gets together and decides what terms they want to bring to Iliya Goga.
