The Shadowclock Scarecrow & Xanesha

Neth 1, 4708 – They have decoded Ironbriar’s encrypted journal which clearly indicates that he was the leader of the Skinsaw cult. He along with Vorel Foxglove where the founding members and now he is taking orders from someone named Xanesha the Wanton of Nature’s Pagan Forms. Ironbriar also has a thing for this person Xanesha and meets with her at a placed called the Shadowclock. They also found a noted dated a couple of weeks ago about Vorel’s Legacy arriving by courier and the couriers would be silenced. Where the courier the same ones we rescued just the other day at the Foxglove house! Vorel’s Legacy was sold to a group called the Red Mantis which is based in Korvosa. Also, Ironbriar seemed a bit concerned that Vorel’s Legacy will be resold by the Red Mantis that could be used in ways that would not further the ends of the Norgorber cult.

He talked about what we should do next. I wanted to go back to Sandpoint to tell the Sheriff about Lyk death. Andrian wanted to go after Vorel’s Legacy in Korvosa. Riley and Carufinwe thought we should at least check out the Shadowclock. Since it was late we decide to check out the Shadowclock in the morning. Andrian went out to see if anyone knew what or where the Shadowclock was. He did find where the shadowclock is located.

Neth 2, 4708 – We went to find the Shadowclock and it was where Andrian was told under the Gods Highway. Andrian went to look around inside first and he came back out saying their was sometime in a hugh pile of garbage to our left as we enter the room. We decide to fight at the door entrance so it could only attack a few of us at a time. Andrian went back in threw his dagger at the creature which was a huge zombie with a scythe that resembling a scarecrow. I was blocking the door and I do not know how thought the whole battle that zombie never hit me. The zombie beat up Andrian but Andrian gave his all and did a lot of damage to the zombie. Because it was an undead my powers did well against this creature. After a long battle we won and lost no one which was because of the grace of Torag. Andrian started looking in the pile of garbage for treasure when a voice from above spoke down at us. Andrian talk to the person who we found out was Xanesha. Andrian continued to talk to Xanesha and while looking through the garbage. We did nothing else giving Xanesha minions time to cut a rope and drop a huge bell on Andrian. Andrian was able to evade the bell but the bell destroyed part of the stairs going up. After more talk and Andrian saying things he should not of like us taking out Ironbriar is going to cause us more trouble we decide to leave because no one wanted to climb the broken stairs. Andrian said he use up everything he had on the zombie. I did not want to jump over holes in the walk up with plate armor on. Against my better judgment we left knowing we will meet her again. We went back to the inn to rest and I work on copying the rituals.

Neth 3, 4708 – We rested and came back to Shadowclock only to found everything of interest gone. We did fine three bodies which we believe where the three cult members who escape from the saw mill the other night. Andrian did find some of the zombie treasure. But, we lost the trail of Xanesha and only have the trail to Korvosa. So, we decide to leave and book passage on a ship bound for Korvosa. We sent the rest of the day looking for passage to Korvosa with no luck.
