Notes

We start in Bartolomue Bar. And discuss the easiest route into the city. As Bartolomue says it's not an easy task. He suggests we could seek help at the Church of Lathender

We are in the top west of the city. Where the nobles live.
We discuss how we could travel through the city. By sewers, by allyways or by roof.
What are these undeads triggered by. Do they trigger on us?
Dr. Byron Dark reads the book on undead.

We decide to do a longrest here in the inn. Artos has a dream about a polarbear that is decapitated and black thendrails that grab him. Showing his clan. He wakes screeming.
Dr. Byron Dark also sees visions during meditation with an uneasy feelings. Ly dreams about her father. Everyone has dreams that are slighly nightmaric. Only Artos wakes through it.
It feels like the City of Dusk is affecting our sleep and dreams.

Dr. Byron Dark sees to see a shadow under the bed during his watch that transforms in an ooze like form. Artos is woken and they attack the ooze. Frost damage doesn't seem to do anything. Artos gets fucked by the ooze on the first round. Everytime we slash it, it splits in more parts. Dr. Byron Dark tries to create

Dr. Byron Dark tells us the ooze leaked out of Artos head. Did his brain just leak out?
Dr. Byron Dark thinks this could lead to madness if we stay here to long.

Willow healts Artos and gives some temp hitpoints to a few party members, just for sake if something happens before we end our longrest.

We return back to sleep except for Dr. Byron Dark who is done meditation and keeps watch. Ly does not hold it dry in the night and also has a nightmare killing children with his gun. Mean while, when we finish our rest, Dr. Byron Dark hears people downstairs starting to leave the inn.

We do a Long Rest

We test how the undead respond to our present, they seem to rely on sight to notice us. So we can probably hide from them with the help of Cindy's support.

Dr. Byron Dark tries to create a copy of a sigil that the guards were. This might help us stay somewhat undetected.

Artos asks Ly how to fix his axe as it seemed to become a little rusted over by the ooze. Gideon says Artos could try the help sharpen his axe by using his own blood. And he explains in great detail how that should be done. Artos gently tries it, but it does not seem to be effective.

Gideon suggests using the sigil to test if it works. Gideon suggests Artos to go outside. But he also seems incapible of copying the behavior of the undead. So we decide to continue working on off of them and test them all together.

Bartolomue suggests we look to well to travel the streets. We should consume some alcohol. We decline and tell him we try to hide as much as possible.
We exit the inn at a back window. Dr. Byron Dark and Cindy are terrible climbers...

We head towards the churches direction. We get to the wall of the church. Looking over the wall we see a seminary with no zombies. We climb the wall. We wander into the entrance of the church. No zombies, but a priest stands in the middle of the church. He looks healthy. He doesn't repeat his sentances. The priest states this is a church of the Ember Empire or if we hate the Ember Empire it's a Church of Lathander. Dr. Byron Dark doesn't buy what he tells us. The priest wants us to collect a book that is located at the other side of the City of Dusk. Oscar tells us he is as old as the curse of the City of Dusk. But he doesn't look as old as he is supposed to be.

He tells us he is a creature that lives longer that we expect. But he is not willing to tell us what he. He can only use the book himself to leave this place. He was cursed to this place by Bronn Matias.

QUEST: Retrieve the book of curses

The people of the town are in numbers but they repeat every single day. So this could help going / finding our way through of the City of Dusk. He also is willing to give Artos a new axe. A magical axe. But we don't trust taking the axe. It might be cursed. We leave the church. Dr. Byron Dark identifies the Axe as an axe of vengeance.

We decide to go towards the palace. But there are multiple ways in

We will continue with this next time
