We take the prisoners we rescued from the Temple and head back to Westbridge.  On the way we encounter 3 former water cultists under attack from hell hounds and a fire cult summoner.  We take out the fire cult enemies, and obtain information from the water cultists, Brock, Galvern and Tenat.  

  • Shatterkeel is the leader of the Water Cult. Located under Feather Gail Spire, under Riverguard Keep. 
  • The leader of Riverguard Keep is Oliver Grimjaw. Keep is heavily defended, but we may be able to get in through the river.  There is a gate there.
  • The cults are working together to some degree to ensure the destruction of the valley.
  • They have no connection to the orcs.
  • We learn the water cult hand symbols.  Upside-down means something is wrong.  Sayings: "What is our purpose? To wash away the impure, unclean, and unworthy." A phrase that activates magical shrine to ohydra.

We also trade with Umi.

  • Umi was looking for a lich, but it turns out it is not Reniwick.  Umi's lich has purple eyes, carries a cursed staff that turns people undead, and sacrifices a lot of animals for blood magic.
  • There is a powerful glaive located in a tomb in the hills of Hunter's Axe. A gateway between underground and surface worlds.  We mark the area on our map. It has the worst traps created by Parvax, a master trap maker. Also houses the magical Axe Orcsplitter and other artifacts.
