Catacombs

After seeing the Dybbuk try to escape Ciprian jumped up and over the creature to stop it from leaving the Gaol.  Ursina used the wand to Heal Erevel but it did not get rid of the deafness.  Agna's flurry of arrows, with help of a couple of critical hits, dropped the Dybbuk to the ground.

The party then moved to explore the rest of the cells in the Gaol and Ciprian looked down at the character in the pit.  Gavril opened the only locked cell and found a magic dagger on the floor along with two magic items in a wooden bucket in the corner.  Ursina noted that one other cell had something magical in a crack in the masonry of the northwestern wall.  Digging she found a purple colored prism shaped stone.

Gaol of the Damned

Ciprian messaged the group suggesting that they all meet at the kitchen.  They would try to enter the locked room from there while also distracting the cooks.

The group met in the dining hall with Gavril being made invisible by Armania.  He then entered the kitchen with Erevel and Ciprian right behind.

"We are low on the chicken snacks and some other items are missing altogether," Ciprian stated.

"Sorry sir, we will replenish them directly," the main cook responded.

She loaded a tray for delivery and her assistant took it out to the dining hall.

Delmaria

Nor is it to be thought that man is either the oldest or the last of earth’s masters, or that the common bulk of life and substance walks alone. The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Not in the spaces we know, but between them, They walk serene and primal, undimensioned and to us unseen... unseen and foul in lonely places where the Words have been spoken and the Rites howled through at their Seasons. The wind gibbers with Their voices, and the earth mutters with Their consciousness. They bend the forest and crush the city, yet may not forest or city behold the hand that smites.
                                                         

                                                                                —H. P. Lovecraft, “The Dunwich Horror”

Private Parlor

Ciprian had entered an octagonal room with the two Sayona.  Ovonda was lying upon the pillows unbuttoning her dress while Ultor stood by the door.

The rest of the party was outside the room with Armania and Ursina having cast Greater Invisibility.  Gavril took it upon himself to begin a fight with these creatures.  He did not appreciated the attempt to Dominate his mind. Accordingly he stepped up and unleashed a full attack on Ultor. He noted that the creature had a gaze attack but ignored it for this interaction.

Ultor responded by slamming the door shut and locking it.  Ciprian's voice immediately went up an half an octave asking for the party to enter the room.
