Session Notes

 * We recap at the Hairy Lemon.
 * The ghost grung return to this area of the Suterareta, where Johnny Stardom lays dead. His ghost hovering over his body however is quite ready to return to it - "Woah! This is seriously messed up. I'd like to go back into my body now."
 * Quick to answer the call, Thutheastr Blessedthane begins to cast revivify, and gets assistance from both Tearlag Gravehearth and Cerda Hammer. The ritual is a success, and the dwarven cleric is curious about the holy power used by Cerda.
 * Thuth also shares and gives a diamond to Tearlag.
 * After continuing on their journey for a bit more, the keen senses in the group halt their progress at the presence further ahead to a pack of Bloodsappers.
 * Tearlag senses something familiar and is drawn away from the group.
 * Meanwhile a small voice next to Cerda suddenly says "What do you think they want, kappo?"
 * The small grung bard, d'Oph'f'Oph is casually in amongst them, as if he has always been there.
 * He claims to be a "Pollywog of Manchac" and warms them about Dreadwing Cult ninjas in the area causing all kinds of bad stuff.
 * He asks if they are a friend of Master Hondo?
 * Tearlag has arrived in a clearing, where a pool of blood rises up and shifts into the form of her dead son. After a moment, a second, larger form swoops around the form of the child, the image of The Dread Es'tad!
 * "Hehhehheheeeh, I’m glad you are here… now. Don’t look so worried… I have been keeping good care of him. It is fitting... don’t you think… you and your ‘boy’ were present at my last ascension. Come, find me. Your family reunion can be the opening act to my ‘next’ and grandest ascension yet! Hehheheheheheeee…"
 * Chaya Seto stealthes ahead over the mangroves, and along with Kaeso Lusius Lucullus, they keep an eye on the Bloodsappers, ready to attack if necessary. One does get curious, but is scared off when Sneek Ash-hide plays his Unsettling Ocarina.
 * Cerda goes off and finds Tearlag.
 * The grung bard offers an exchange, "Shall I sing you a song... in return, do me a favour?" He wants them to follow and find Master Hondo, and says that he ran off into the ruins, after a monk like Tyrol Gravehearth arrived and forewarned danger.
 * The Jungle Dozen agree, and d'Oph'f'Oph leads them to his home of p'Dish.
