Arinew, Nidhoggian Fever (stage 1: lose a healing surge until cured)

Active Quests
The Lost Party
The high priestess of Tez and three companions were driven to complete the prince's task for him and brave Nastrond, an act of certain suicide. It is up to the Saviors to rescue them before it's too late.

Among them are:
> Priestess Nalua (went toward the light, now bound in darkness; party on her trail)
> Coura
> Leyra
> Fey Guide

Nidhogg's Head
The malign Gnaw lurks somewhere in Nastrond, pitting its will and minions against the Saviors. It accepted Arinew's angry challenge with wet appetite. Its ultimate defeat will save Glasir (and with it the symbiotic green fey) and perhaps earn Arinew enough standing to command Eglantine's loyalty.

Next Session
99a: The Saviors continue their search for the lost party, pressing for a final confrontation with Malice Striker in the wretchedness of its own lair.

New NPCs
Aspect of Malcanthet (dead): The eight-foot tall devil woman, with cloven hooves, bat wings, scorpion tail and horns, the color of a rose withered on the vine, black of hair, eyes, lips and nails, tried crushing Renato for his backing out on their deal. Instead he slew her! Belesana, being her vessel, was killed and The Queen of the Succubi suffered a major blow to her pride. She cursed them as dealbreakers and promised her revenge.

Malcanthet
Mara
