Session 4 - Sightseeing in the Fallen

Recap
The party decides to immediately descend into the Fallen, the worst district in all of Sharn. They hail a sky coach who reluctantly takes them down. They meet a peddler warforged, named Chef, who is selling very poor spices. He directs them to the Blackstone church, which is the only church in Fallen.

The party heads in the direction of the church, they meet a little girl who says her father has been hurt. Tranquillity comforts her, and follows her to her father. The little girl, who turns out to be a halfling, leads them to an ambush by a bunch of bandits.

They fought and defeated the bandits, killing 2 of them, and unable to capture the fleeing halfling. Tranquility knocked out during the course of the fight, accuses Ebinir of being a murderer. Ebinir argues back that it was self-defense. They let the last one who surrendered go.

They resume their path towards the church. The church is decrepit and falling apart. When they enter the church they encounter a woman half-elf and a large 7 foot tall man. The man leaves before the group can speak with him. The woman approaches the group and reveals herself to be Fayla. The group asks about Karola, but Fayla says that she has not seen her in at least a week. Karola has helped fixed things in the church and worked in the soup kitchen. Fayla has the highest opinion of Karola

She does recall that Fayla and Karola had journeyed down to the Cogs to help others. They were ambush and separated. Fayla made it back and thought Karola dead. Karola returned a few days later, and said she had been rescued by an old artificer. After the discussion, Fayla retires to her room.

The party decides to head to the Cogs in the morning, but to head back up to the surface for the night. Bennet heads for the door first, and then is suddenly taken by some sort of shadow and dragged out of the church. Before the party can give chase, they are attacked by more shadow beasts and gnolls. The party barely survives the encounter killing all the creatures save one gnoll whom Tranquility knocked out.

Fayla emerges after the combat to help heal the party, and they discuss their plans.
