Idum Mid Tosath-Wethan 15305

The Gang Joins a Cult
After the short rest, the four explored deeper into the cave, to be immediately ambushed by three scouts and three thugs. They handled the attack fairly well, then interrogated the final thug. After he told them all he would, Noose manacled him, leaving Aislinn somewhat concerned about what a 'nobleman' is doing carrying around manacles, and they gagged him too.

Then they found the tiefling who'd run from their previous fight, who was much more open to telling them whatever they wanted to hear in order to not kill him. Based on the new intel, they decided to dress up as members of the cult and talk to this "Dimia" person, supposedly a servant of the Spider Queen Limia.

They found a girl with a hangover, got distracted by a wardrobe with some aristocratic clothes in it, then went out to the cove behind the cave.

In the cove, they found a man who was annoyed to be in a cage and freed him, then found Dimia, charmed her, and told her they brought new recruits. Aislinn and Ana were sworn in as newly recruited cultists. Dimia told them to kill a half-orc woman who'll be performing at the theater in Finethil's Rest tomorrow night.

Dimia also mentioned that Eloise was in charge of our payment for cult work. Presumably that would be Eliose Twor.

They walked back out into the woods, took a peaceful rest, then headed on into town. Confronting Eliora's boss, who suffers a profound inability to say the words 'thank you'. The discovery of this very nearly resulted in a confrontation from Noose. Eliora then put in her resignation, by way of smashing something valuable and walking the fuck out. Noose turned back to get paid for the dragon basilisk eggs, got a little bit swindled, and then they went clothes shopping for a while before giving the last basilisk egg to the temple. (All the girls clothes looks amazing - Noose) Afterwards, the group told the man with the statued sister that the temple may be able to help him, and got paid for doing a good deed. And Eli got a hug.
