[Petals & Thrones] Session 5+6: Dead & Deader

Session V

This is, strictly speaking, two sessions. Our brave adventurers decided to handle the catacombs next, fighting a couple spiders en route. They listened to the Lion Knight's call to honour in cleansing the catacombs of necromantic energy, but decided the call to gold offered by the Vlatla was louder.

They spoke with the Vlatla to make sure they didn't attack the wrong undead, delved in, and spent quite a bit of time breaking bones and scooping the salvage. Pointing out the artificial tunnel to the spiders' den, they find out that they'll earn more favour with the Vlatla if they go there. This incentivizes them to go into the place and purge the nest and leave the eggs alone, though not without trying hard to get even more reward.

Unfortunately, they have chosen not to investigate much into the history or nature of the corpses within the catacombs. But, given as how they've been kind of reticent to side with any of the established power structure, this isn't super surprising.
