Pirates Adventure Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Hearing the tolling of the bells, the group starts to make their way towards the church, but when the group of hunters from the bridge rush in the group gets separated.
Unsure of where the rest of the crew is, Fin, Ignatius and Cassandra Rose make it to the church with Petra in tow. They find the holy building surrounded by these creatures and devise a plan. Cassandra, the black Rose draws their attention and gets the dozen or so of them to chase her down a narrow alleyway Vladamir Ignatius had rigged with explosives. The charges detonate and the buildings come down on the hairy men. Meanwhile Fin climbs a tree and using a rope lowers himself to the roof of the church and then climbs in through the bell-tower.
Initiate Duvall is excited to see the papers that Fin has and looking through them reveals that he can crack Jerimond's cipher. Fin allows admittance to Cass and Iggy and they hunker down for the night, while Duvall deciphers the coded journals. The next morning he reveals that the orb has some sort of fate-twisting/luck-granting powers and that a certain code will allow them to access Jerimond's secret laboratory, where a treasure of some kind does appear to be hid.
Having Duvall lead them, Fin, Igg and Cass make their way to the tower where they find Cole Jenkins has cracked the code and made his way in to Jerimond's secret sanctum. They convince him that the orb is too blame for the recent deaths and attacks and that if he gives them the orb, they will get him and his 4 friends off the island. He agrees, but Duvall does not like this plan and performs a ritual to call forth the roots of the very trees to hold them in place while he gets the townsfolk to decide what to do with these interlopers. The Black Rose, Cass, snags a grendae from Iggy and tosses it at him, but forgets to charge it. Fin sends Shiz'zael's small magical hand of flame [visible only to Fin] to lift the grenade and deliver it just below Duvall, while the priest was striking Cass with his shillelagh.
The grenade starts a fire and rocks loose the already shaky foundations of the building. The group makes a narrow escape with the boys, carrying a chest they found. Fin makes sure to drag out the body of Duvall, wishing him no ill will, and shivering through a memory of the haunting from the previous person he had participated in killing.
Using the raft of the boys, Fin and Ignatius make their way down the river and back to the ship. Cassandra Rose heads back in to town to recover Petra and lead her to the ship. They intend to make sail before the townsfolk realize that their mystical orb is gone. The rest of the crew made their way back to the Mighty Voyager and seeing the raft with two of their crew and a chest of gold allow them aboard. When Black Rose Cass and Petra arrive by foot they also make their way aboard and prepare to set sail back through the Teeth of Mortis.
