SAGA Log 1446: Mercy's Wife
After the rest (in which they distributed loot/re-attuned to items/learned spells/etc.), the Force Green "Core 4" (Pylia, Blue, Blood, Drizmar) and Goldy put the gem back in the portal and used it to go up to the ground level of Bloodstone. Veersalla had left with her personal wizard guard, but Mercy’s wife (it turned out she had been evil and working with the enemy the entire time) attempted to fight them with an army of liches and undead. Force Green convinced the army to turn on her, but then the army turned back against them to try to get their phylacteries back. In the end, Mercy's wife was captured and the undead were all destroyed. During the battle, Goldy was turned into a nightmare thing and ended up trapped on the Ethereal plane.
Afterward, the heroes looted the area. They gathered the wandering zombies together to destroy them; they realized 2 of the undead were Mercy and the elf cleric. By destroying them, the team knew they were releasing their souls. Pylia spoke with some scared human merchants at the southeast tower, also known as Swift manor.
They found Fritz, who had been imprisoned by the enemy. He told them everything he knew about Veersalla, Cap, and Strahd having taken over Castle Greyhawk and magically mind-controlled GOAT. The evil trio used GOAT's magic items and wishes to make themselves more powerful and alter reality. Fritz said he would help the group, but for now was staying in Bloodstone to start fixing things and organize a rebuilding effort; Pylia asked Fritz to help them find Goldy; they left the 40,000 gp (from the Dracolich’s hoard) in the town. After an hour rest in the anti-magic room in Swift Tower, Drizmar decided to no longer wear the humanity ring.
Fritz found a servant girl who said Veersalla had used blood magic, but had said something about “Kya Kaysu” being her weakness - the bloodline of Kya. The group realized that Kya, Borngray II’s wife, was on the world Firth (the “sexy elf world”) with the rest of their missing family members. They interrogated Mercy’s wife. She told them about Strahd being held prisoner on Oerth because he was betraying Veersalla by helping Pylia; Blue executed Mercy’s wife. The group teleported to Cobalt Castle and, again, sent servants to go buy scrolls for them.
They spending time planning and decided to prioritize saving Strahd before going to investigate Kya’s family/bloodline. They found Goldy, killed him in his new form, and paid for a true resurrection. They sent a servant with a message for Fritz to let him know they got Goldy and invited him to join in on the mission to Oerth.
