The poorer district within the city itself.

The party now known as the Champions of Obscene finally arrives at the City of Stromford and part ways with the Carravone siblings.   Terrence the eldest of the Carravone siblings offered his thanks to the party and invited the party to his father's mansion in a couple of days.

Allen was tasked with bringing the rest to the inn while Anaris and Azool headed off to the temple district with Dundee's corpse.  After discovering the priests of Avamantos to be unsympathetic and cold and would not defy the will of Avamantos without a hefty fee to perform a raise dead ritual.

Anaris and Azool left the temple of Avamantos and came across an acolyte of Saint Seylias who tried to proselytize to them.   Anaris inquire about Saint Seylias and felt that they need to check the place out.

Seeing the acolytes of Saint Seylias to be much more compassionate for the fellow layman.  Anaris is having second thoughts about having the priest of Avamantos perform the raise dead ritual on Dundee.   The party weighing their options finally decided to pool together the gold pieces necessary to purchase a diamond worth 500 gold pieces.   At the same time also decided to visit the various artisans and vendors to get the goods and services they were looking for.

The party returned to the Temple of the Watchful to retrieve Dundee corpse before heading off to the Church of the Fallen Martyrs.  There the priestess and the clergy performed a ritual and finally brought Dundee back from the realm of the dead.

At this point, Dundee begins to question his devotion towards the unsympathetic Avamantos and felt a crisis of faith.  As the party returned to the Horny Goat to rest, a retainer from house Carravone brings them a letter, inviting the party to Carravone mansion within the City of Stromford for dinner.

The next following day, Bryseis finally dispatched some living expenses for her father and mother.  But not before dispatching three thieves who tried to steal from her.   While Dundee performed community service with the clergymen from the Church of the Fallen Martyrs.   Azool and Anaris visited the library and poured through the various books.    As the day draws to a close, the party remembered their appointment with the Earl's son and traveled to the mansion.

While enjoying the appetizers, Allen overhears a conversation between Elisa and Terrence, revealing some secrets the siblings have.   Shortly after, they are invited to the dining hall where dinner is served and is joined by the Carravone family.   The party converse with the Earl and his son while Elisa listened quietly.  But it was not long before the party talked about inappropriate and overly personal issues that embarrassed the Earl.   Bryseis shook her head at her party members and apologize for their lack of manners.   However it was already too late, Earl Darren and his son had enough and decided to leave the dining hall.   Elisa politely apologized for her father and brother before she too retreated from the dining hall.

Shortly after, Terrence returned with a chest full of gold for the party and bade them farewell.   The party returned to the inn and count their reward.  The next day as they were heading towards the adventurer's guild they witness a worried old lady whom they met earlier at the Church of the Fallen Martyrs.   Anaris approached her and was informed that her son is missing.

The party decided that this may be worth looking into and starting to make way to the refugee camps....
