Back at Spooky's (Tarsakh 30)
Julian & Choo-Cha come back to Spooky's after a series of events. They destroyed the Helux the nimblewright & following a map to the Cassalanter Mausoleum in the City of the Dead. They caught several cultists of Asmodeus in the mausoleum who say they were betrayed by fellow cult members named  Arn Xalrondar  & Seffia Naelryke.

They had an emergency meeting between all party members to determine the next step as this seems to be pressing. They know that Arn & Seffia went to the old windmill in the South Ward, so they all decide to follow in tow.

After the meeting, Gooz meets with a Zhentarim contact named Istrid Horn who paid them both for allowing her to lay-low at Spooky's.

The party catches a dray to the South Ward. On the way there Gooz casts disguise self but activates his wild magic himself twice. He became 2" shorter going from 3'5" to 3'3" & polymorphed into a sheep for the next hours. The dray arrived to the old windmill in approximately 30 minutes. On the way they discussed multiple ways of infiltrating into the building. "Sheeps can dash, can't they?" - Aaron

"How heavy is a sheep" - Matt

At the Windmill (Greengrass)
Right before midnight they arrive at the Windmill. Thola casts Arcane Eye to investigate the broken down windmill, as she explores the windows of the second floor she sees two (2) cultists in a second floor apartment seemingly waiting. The party enters the building to stumble upon many squatters to finally go upstairs to confront the cultists. As the fight breaks out they see that the Stone of Golorr is being passed off to one (1) of three (3) Spined Devils who start flying away from the Windmill.  Gooz the Sheep  flees, Julian charms a cultist several times to get no information from him. The party killing the cultists, follow after the Spined Devils after Järna kept them in her sights. As the party barrels after them them across rooftops, Julian ensuring  Gooz the Sheep's safety, breaks the fall as they follow behind the party.

The Chase
Chasing them through the streets & across rooftops they come to an alleyway where a dray was waiting for an aged male tielfling (doppleganger) know as Willifort Crowelle. After being handed the Stone the Golorr  fled away from the adventurers that were closing in, leaving his Spined Devils to push them back. After Järna & Choo-Cha killed the Spined Devils, Willifort instead gives the Stone of Golorr to three (3) ravens to carry away. Thola successfully determined that they were shapeshifted Imps !

Willifort scrambled away into the main street as the rest of the party decides to pursue the ravens, as that is where the Stone of Golorr is. As Choo-Cha is watching the ravens as they flee she sees several short arrows pierce the sky & shoot down all three (3) ravens (imps).

 Gooz the Sheep  & Julian make it into the alleyway as the party proceeds to the area of the shot down ravens to investigate.
