You Dun Walk Inn

Mordilane's second performance doesn't go so well. Drinks were thrown, lots of angry shouts and the group was asked to leave the pub. They make their way down to a new place called "You Dun Walk Right Inn".

Wurm encounters a cackling old crazy man. He touches Wurm's hand and burns a symbol into it. Abe recognizes this symbol as the signet ring of Alexander Darkwood. They press the old man for more information. He tells them to "follow the bread crumbs".

Meanwhile Rasa speaks to the barkeep (Sly M'Connor) who immediately points out the wanted poster with a picture of his face on it. Sly pulls out a stiff bottle of spirits and they drink at the bar as Rasa tells his tale to the barkeep. 

Gourd breaks the closet window to where Rasa was sitting at the bar and says it is time to leave, he just killed 6 Diamond bed city guards. Rasa pays for the broken window and the group leaves. Wurm's new symbol guides them to a large citadel in town. They are invited in (eventually) and meet with Levinforth Reginaire the 2nd. After a most glorious meal and conversation, he reveals his true form as a large winged demon. They gain the knowledge of how to "follow the bread crumb trail" as there is a portal in the fireplace to take them closer to Abe's quest. MoPuck gets an important dimensional anchor magical eye ringlet that will make sure they can get home. 

They have to drug the Gourd to get him to come inside and use the portal. Wurm sends the cart, horses, & clerics on their way to make the journey back to the new church of Noir with the barrels of the fountain of youth. 

They follow the demons instructions and complete the ritual to allow them to use the portal in the fireplace.

They arrive in the far future in an alley in Diamond Bed city. There does not seem to be any living people here. There are just automatons bustling the streets. The rain comes down like oily grease. It is cold and damp, and everyone feels a sense of dread.
