4759 Gozran 2nd Ustalav Vieland at Schloss Caromarc

Glade and Gregor rest in the gate keep until dawn and then they go in search of Hadhod. They find Hadhod late morning and return with him to the gate keep. There they find a decapitated troll with whom they have a conversation regarding the Bride. Then the pcs have a conversation with the homunculus of Alpon Caromarc. The gist of it is that Caromarc is being kept at the bring of starvation and dehydration and is desperate for rescue. The pcs decide to rest so that Glade can regain his bat form. Just after sunset Glade flies in bat form to the Bondslave Thrall apparatus. Glade uses the magical machine to control Bride and make her "sleep" on Caromarc's bed. Then glade used the Bondslave Thrall to command Wretch to attack bride. The pcs followed Wretch to Bride and attacked when he attacked. Bride shifted to her patch-work aberration form and fought with ferocity but Hadhod, Gregor, and the controlled Wretch rained blow after blow and she was never able to recover.

Wretch tore her head off. Next Hadhod and Gregor decided they ought to rescue the now trapped Glade. They fought their way to him. First they slew a mummy but not until after it had infected Gregor with mummy-rot.


 Next both Gregor and Hadhod fell into a water filled pit infested with rotgrubs. They were both infect with two rotgrubs and were forced to take extreme measures to kill them. Then Gregor detected undead in another submerged pit but they used rope to avoid that one. Then Hadhod climbed the interior wall to the exit door and they two of them avoided a large swimming monster. Finally they came to the small lab containing Alpon Caromarc's "iron maiden" prison. After a few words, Gregor slew Caromarc in a fit of uncharacteristic rage! At this point Gregor left at speed to Lepidistadt and the temple of Pharasma there in order to have his mummy rot cured.
