Session 5 - Ninhub's Kiss

Ninhub said she would provide information about Beorhisto, whom she personally knew, if the party agreed to have a drink with her. She poured our a thick green liquid, and the party had a vivid hallucination that they were battling Ninhub's monther, Baxxya. After they defeated her and awoke unharmed in the tavern, Ninhub told them that Beorhisto had a tower in the Amber Valley, deep in the Astral Sea. She said Zyndar could direct them.

On the way to Zyndar, a messenger from Bariashuu, a kobold, found the party and escorted them through a portal to the swampy layer of Cathrys on the plane of Tarterus. Bariashuu lies resting amid an ancient ruin, surrounded by his kobold priests. He said, "We are not friends. I do not owe you. We have a common foe, the witch Jynjur. In return for what you did, I will make you into weapons to slay the foul elf. She has been my foe for a thousand years. We have fought across the planes. But our battle will end in Sigil, one way or the other." Then Bariashuu spoke words in a rumbling drone and granted each of the Dogs of War the Elfbane ability. They left Bariashuu's lair and headed to see Zyndar.

Zyndar told the party that he believed the city of Sigil would be conquered. The Grand Army of Revolt was getting too many supplies and too may reinforcements for the Militias of Resistance to stop them. He said he thought the best chance the city had was to free Abbar Savi Pasha and enlist his aid. He said he could have sent the party home at any time, but he lied to them to try to get them to help.

Zyndar also told the party that the leaders of the local militias had wanted to reward the party for rescuing Bariashuu. They had given the party the enchanted boat, the Outland Cutlass, and had delivered it to Greywater Manor. He gave the party a map which would guide them to the Amber Valley.

The party boarded the Outland Cutlass and traveled into the Astral Plane to the Amber Valley. There they found Beorhisto's Tower. They managed to get into the tower and disabled a trap near the entrance.
