At [[Hralin]]'s request, [[Zuhri]] agrees to bite all the remaining ex-werewolves to free them of moon-madness, and they gladly agree to help build [[Maret]] a new house in return. After a long rest, Zuhri realizes she is somehow connected to everyone she has ever bitten — the party, the villagers of [[Arbor Felix]], and the Gallowhops — as if they are all one pack now. > > Back in [[Otari]], a grateful [[Captain Lardus Longsaddle]] — reunited with his mother [[Aumagh Longsaddle]] — agrees to be the party's ally should the [[Pharasma|Pharasmins]] come for [[Vayle]], and sets one of his men to investigate [[Wrin Sivinxi]]'s disappearance. At [[The Rowdy Rockfish]], [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] and Grumble spot an insect made of paper torn from an ancient tome — part of a ritual that transforms someone into a mummy, the same paper last seen around [[Chafkem]] ([[095_20250831 The Paper Mummy]]), like a familiar of his. [[Brelda Venkervale|Brelda]] pledges her support for Vayle too, noting her son [[Lazda Venkervale|Lazda]] would once have been the one to convince. Vayle's therapy finally breaks through: after a nightmare about a creature with seven eyes, Lazda feels ready to face what happened to him — and then a second paper spider is spotted in the room with them. ^summary %% ## Video [Video]() %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/123_20260711 Seeds for Hope#^summary]] --- ## Log The ex-werewolves are sad because one of them was killed today by [[Grumblebum|Grumble]]: [[Sevara]], a prominent person. She was kind of like their leader. [[Hralin]] asked if I would bite all of them and I said yes. I asked them all to help build [[Maret]] a house and they agree gladly, eager to help me after I helped them. We take a long rest. I realize that I am somehow connected to all the people I've ever bitten (members of the party, [[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/Arbor Felix|Arbor Felix]], the people from [[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/The Gallowhops|The Gallowhops]]). It's like we're all one pack now. We are in [[Otari]]. [[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/Captain Lardus Longsaddle|Captain Lardus Longsaddle]] is with [[Aumagh Longsaddle]] now. He's grateful. He agrees to be our ally in case [[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/Pharasma|Pharasmins]] come to get [[Vayle]]. We ask him about [[ttrpgs/The Undead Unkillers/Wrin Sivinxi|Wrin Sivinxi]] and ask him to look into it. He asks one of his men to look into it. We go to [[The Rowdy Rockfish]] where [[Jaspen Bond Callistair|Bond]] and Grumble spot an insect made out of paper-- paper that seems to have been torn from a tome. Grumble throws a dagger at it and it falls to the floor, sprinkling something like dust as it does so. - It's a part of a ritual that transforms someone/something into a mummy. - Bond and Grumble recognize the paper as something not coming from the library-- it's an ancient tile used a long time ago. The only other time we saw something like this was when it was around [[Chafkem]] ([[095_20250831 The Paper Mummy]]). The paper is like a familiar of his. [[Brelda Venkervale|Brelda]] is on her side too. But she says before her son [[Lazda Venkervale|Lazda]] got sick, he would have been the one to convince. Everyone talked to him. Vayle does therapy with Lazda. He's had a nightmare about a creature with seven eyes. Vayle does calm Lazda down. Now he feels like he can face what has happened to him, with all the techniques that Vayle has taught him. Then we see that in this room with Vayle and Lazda is another paper spider... %% ## Excalidraw Data ### Text Elements ### Drawing ```json {"type":"excalidraw","version":2,"source":"https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/releases/tag/2.0.25","elements":[],"appState":{"theme":"dark","gridSize":null,"viewBackgroundColor":"#ffffff"}} ``` %% ## Granola ### Summary ![[plugins/Granola/Let’s Play Abomination Vaults-2026-07-19_09-00-26]] ### Transcript
