Second Thoughts
After further investigating Eastedge and confirming that there are no civilian survivors, and discovering a note on the slain caster, The Hunted begin interrogating the survivors of their own attack - with troubling consequences. The first (later known as Merak) wakes in a state of apparent confusion, terrified by the Hunted and bemoaning the destruction of his town - placing doubt in the eyes of the Hand of Kali and Magni, and later Tharin, about their hasty attack. In the meantime, Kul'Theras takes the initiative to wake up another man, who simply requests that he be finished quickly, with a very sour demeanour. The elf instead begins torture, and then drags the man to Merak. Identifying him as "Cousin Wairik", he remains "terrified", but Wairik regards him with disdain (particularly when Kul'Theras introduces them with "Is this him?" to Merak.
Kul'Theras drags Wairik away for further questioning, revealing what had happened - the men were part of the Crimson Raiders Raiders of the East Coast, passing through to deliver the note from someone to someone else, but were unrelated to it themselves. In the meantime, one of the men made a move on one of the women of the town, one thing led to another... and the entire town ended up slaughtered in a show of dominance by the Raiders. As does happen. He also offers to show The Hunted to the Raider's hideout. Confronting Merak with this information elicits a "can't blame a man for trying" in response. The somewhat disgruntled but vindicated party decides to return the three survivors (one still unconscious) to Madrill rather than head straight to the hideout - not least because The Hand seems to currently be under the effects if a curse.
The Note
"My dear baron,
Send me six troops, a priest of Norgorber who will take orders and won't proselytize, a holy symbol of Iomedae, and 30 feet of silver wire, and I will release the terrible treasure.
Your servant, Poltur.
The Accursed"
Return to Madrill
Despite the early hour, The Hunted elect to speak to Sever Oeaga Treandra as soon as they arrive - the man, upon hearing their story, seems to be deeply saddened by the loss of the town, but still does reward the party for their efforts. He also encourages them to take Wairik up on his offer to hunt down the Raiders, the leader of which, Garret, has a bounty on his head.
In preparation, the party takes the Hand to the temple of Kali, the priests of which dutifully remove the curse - but the man also says that there is another, more powerful curse still on the Hand that they do not have the resources to deal with. Although wary, the Hand agrees to go with the party to the temple of Thor and Tristopher Caulken, who they also intend to have place a Geas on Wairik to ensure his compliance.
Landra stays behind to probe the priest on more information on the Hand, but the priests offer nothing more than had been learned before - and much less than the rest of the party end up learning very shortly.
