Recap:
Rathos, Cordero, and Arken went back to Gneon battered and bruised. Shortly after, Owen showed up with his swag from the assassins. Long story short, we negotiated our way out of the current contract and came to a new arrangement. We told Gneon everything we found, had his people examine the items, then he sent us on our way. He kept the staff since it's Iottian, powerful, and will be sought after by those who lost it. Best we don't have that monkey on our back. He gave us the dagger which we sold to Jimmy and Harris for 25K. We split it 5 ways evenly.
Meanwhile, Marston, Artemus, and Harrick responded to a mass power outage that spread across Grimhold. After a brief investigation, we found that the power grid had been shut down due to a cave in underground where the water met the generators. We made our way into the area with a couple technicians in the hopes of restoring power and finding the workers who were down there.
After a sweep of the water filled area, Marston stumbled upon what appeared to be a rock, but to everyone's horror, was actually an undead Umber Hulk Lieutenant. He attacked Marston then four more skeletal Umber Hulks rose from the water. We told the techs to flee then proceeded to fight.
We were getting beaten pretty badly, but the tide turned when Harrick cast a Control Undead spell on the leader. He managed to overtake its will and commanded it to destroy the lesser Hulks. Once we collectively destroyed them, Harrick forced him to clean up all the debris in the area and clear the waterway for electricity to flow again. The techs returned to work on the generator and we gathered our bearings.
At that point, Harrick tried to walk out with control of the Hulk, but Marston and Artemus would have none of it. We spent 20 rounds unloading holy infused bullets, shotgun shells, and clickers into the thing until it collapsed and scattered it's gem encrusted carcass all over the place. The group gathered up all the precious gems and diamonds they could carry and proceeded back to the police station. Marston sent officers to help aid in the recovery efforts.
Not sure how much we gathered in gems. We didn't really play that part out, so DM will need to elaborate.
