XP for the season finale:
Marston - for making a hard choice - 2000xp
Rathos - for leading the damage game again - 1800xp
Harrick - for deadly magic missiles and good undead word usage - 1800xp
Finn - for your menagerie of creatures - 2000xp
Artemus - the great hand of healing - 1750xp
Larissa - one small psychic ability prevents mass casualties - 3000xp
Arkon - entangling helps too - 1500xp
Cordaro - good that someone else speaks drow - 1500xp

Do you head directly back to Finn's plantation?

That's probably a good idea.

A list of quasi deities that were mentioned:
Zeist - the mad tinker, has been around for just over one hundred years, a mortal gnome driven mad by Highlander's death, famously drove Chaos' cult off of the plateau. The apparent new deity of Gmax.
Zornialat - ancient quasi deity of the underdark focused on horror and monsters. A primary patron of the umber hulks.
Bakenrashu - another contender for the dark side of Falan that has reportedly taken control of the temple in Hertoplowis.

If anyone got a level, please message me and let me know.

You safely make it back to the plantation.

John Gnelletter is a cleric of tommimao that was driven from Grimhold along with most of the faith almost a decade ago. Those from the town remember the near civil war in the town between his faith and the sheriffs. The old sheriff Marsk was forced to step down after John was driven out of grimhold.
John has not been a visible threat in grimhold, but if look enough you can find his influence in the town. Most believe he is based not far. If the information you received is true, this would be the highest profile action he has taken in years.
Marston certainly knows what John looks like and has likely met him at some point in the past. Artemus, unless he is older than I think, would not have met him but knows the story

What exactly was the civil war over? What was John Gnelletter preaching that was so threatening to the sheriffs of Grimhold?
Do I, or any of the sheriffs, have any informants working outside of Grimhold who would reveal their sources as to who else in law enforcement (or in our group) that might have bounties on their heads?

How strict the rules and laws should be. He was, as Tommimao is, in favor of fewer laws and rules. In the end, the fear of the undead won against his efforts for expanded freedoms.
The actual combat in the streets lasted two months. It was a terrible time, outside of an undead incursion, the worst the town has seen. Before he was driven out John killed the lead cleric of Gruweas. He is still wanted for that crime.

The town gets regular updates from friends and allies outside the town about bounties. None have come up that have Marston on it.

Have the clerics of Gruweas no means of scrying John or tracking him down? It seems odd that a religion so bent on following the law to the letter wouldn't have caught him by now.

He is not magically find able in any but the most powerful ways, which are not at the disposal of Grimhold. The mundane ways determined that after he was driven from the town, he fled pretty far away. Hundreds if not a thousand miles. There was also some thought that continuing to go after him might push some of the townsfolk that had abandoned Tommimao back into his camp. (Note this argument was made by the religion of Tfop which had gained the most from the Tommimao faithful). With bigger undead problems to manage, the powers that be in Grimhold let it be, although there is still and warrant and bounty out for him.
It is also a consideration that John is believed to have been one of the most powerful residents in Grimhold at the time of the civil strife, killing one of the other most powerful citizens. He was known to be a skilled horseman (his last name was taken from the breed of horse he rides), a noted spellcaster, and a user of firearms. It is assumed that in the decade since, he has only grown more skilled, although he is middle aged by now.

Was the lead Cruweas cleric that John killed ever raised/resurrected, or is he buried somewhere here in Grimhold? If he's buried, I take a walk over to his gravesite.

He was not. Gruweas has a long and intricate procedure for determining if someone is brought back. At some point in the process, it was determined he would not be brought back.
He is buried at the temple of Gruweas.

I'll pay my respects at his grave if the temple of Gruweas will allow me to enter. I keep my undead/vampire sensors on high alert near his tomb. If I sense something, I tell the group. If not, I head home and ponder everything that happened with Elizabeth and Gmax.

They allow you, it is all clear.

Okay, I head back home and gather the money I owe everyone from the expedition. I thank them and offer everyone dinner.

You safely make it back to the plantation.
You are all welcome to stay at the Homestead for as long as you'd like. Plenty of space, plenty of food, and plenty of good company.
And you could all come to the sunrise services - some old friends of mine from my days at the Temple in Dukalia arrived a few weeks ago to help grow the faith here, and they really turned the daily liturgy into something very beautiful. Watching the sun break over the horizon, driving away the darkness as a choir of nipits and halflings sings in joyous harmony...brings a tear to my eye every time. I'll have to introduce you to them, especially Rio and Jerrica. They are a married nipit couple - we go way back - Rio is the new shrine Pastor (Fiona wants to focus on more active promotion of the faith in Grimhold) and Jerrica is the choir director. She really has an ear for music.

With the threat of undead diminished, perhaps this John character sees an opportunity to pick things back up.

so good....

In three days I will switch my focus to the rogues. If you have any questions about the events of the last session, please ask them soon.
Assume that your characters have two months of down time.

In that time, Marston builds more Brawlers and tries to recruit some more talent in order to beef up security within Grimhold. I'm going to build a task force entrusted to investigate the most difficult criminal cases. The first case we'll be training for is to bring John Gneletter to justice.
I work with Artemus, Finn, and Sly to research any additional bounties on other law enforcement agents. If any are found, I try to get them removed legally.

The powers that be agree to your creation of a task force, however, they remind you that your focus is on New Grimhold and the newly settled lands.

Marston acknowledges their concerns and assures them that he will not loose sight of his responsibilities in New Grimhold.
That being said, there's all sorts of new talent flooding in from all directions due to the real estate boom in New Grimhold. I should have little trouble assembling a team.

Anyone spot the 80's tv show reference?

Finn continues to develop the farmstead. I get to work on the wall on our side of the DMZ using wall of stone and move earth.
Fiona continues to evangelize for the faith in Grimhold and New Grimhold (accompanied by her unicorn friend).
Bonsai brews some organic potions.
Finn will also awaken a few more trees to keep Bonsai and Charles company.

I ignored it to save you from an xp penalty, but since you persist...

As long as Charles is in charge.

Might that be a Jem and the Holograms reference?
Your Nipits better be wearing loud, obnoxious 80's clothes with gaudy jewelry and hoop earrings.

In addition to building Brawlers, I would like to have a silencer built to fit the Brawler. For now, I'd just like one for mine.
