Centerra Recap, Part 1

 I'm running a pop-up campaign set in Centerra. The journal kicks off as the party successfully escapes from The Lair Of The Lamb. Rodney, a former sailor, ties off a rope around the large horn at the top of the tower, and the intended sacrifices for the Lamb of Vandoh climb down the side of the White Temple, retrieving their rope and retreating into an alleyway. Rodney and Esty, who both ate the glowing mushrooms they found underground, see a green glow to the northern side of the city. Quicksilver Twobells carries the Abacus of Vandoh, a magic abacus looted from the temple.

Akina, who they had rescued in the White Temple dungeon, leads them to her parent's house, assuring them they can lay low there. Upon arrival at Akina's house, alarm horns start to blow from the White Temple rooftops, as the followers of Vandoh have discovered their sacrifices escape, and their godling dead—crushed under a statue of Vandoh that had been pushed over by Quicksilver Twobells and Elizabeth. 

A strange couple answers the door and tells Akina that her parents have moved since receiving a large chest of silver from the White Temple. Akina crumples under the realisation that she was sold to the temple.

Mortarion and Esty take time to comfort Akina, and Elizabeth asks if she knows anywhere in the area they could lay low. Akina says she not sure but thinks there's a stable up the road. The group hurries there, and find the stable abandoned and hide in there. 

In their hideout, after quizzing Akina some more, they realise that none of them have very clear memories prior to waking up in white temple dungeon. It seems that one of the secretions of The Lamb has destroyed vast chunks of their memory.

Mortarion carefully goes out and steals himself an outfit off a clothesline, before going on to buy clothes and food, along with a lamp and a torch, for the rest of the party. Upon returning he is reunited with his trusty dog, Sicarius, who had followed his captors here all the way from his village. (This was the reward for the player who got the most character deaths in the lair of the lamb, a free dog hireling and access to the Really Good Dog class when he brings a new character in.)

The party rests in the stable, having their first proper sleep since they woke up in the sacrificial bowls beneath the White Temple. On awakening, Quicksilver Twobells finds an origami bird, upon unfolding he finds it is a letter from the White Temple.

As a chosen of Vandoh, he should never have been offered as a sacrifice to The Lamb. He should return to the White Temple, all is forgiven, as long as he returns and tells them what happened to the other sacrifices.

Quicksilver and Elizabeth go to a messenger. Quicksilver gets annoyed when the messenger tries to charge him for ink for a message to the White Temple. He then shows the messenger the orb of indulgence he stole from the temple. He then tells the messenger not to talk about their meeting and leaves.

Rodney and Esty go to investigate the green glow that only they can see. They find an enormous Red Temple, and enter to investigate. This is the Temple of Shendormu, the god of fungus, mindlessness, and community. They meet Striata, a priestess of Shendormu, who explains they received the blessing of Shendormu, and may become clerics of Shendormu if they so wish, and follow the divine geas' of Shendormu:

1) Never allow mycelium to come to harm

2) Never second guess

3) Protect and nourish your community (The Red Temple is part of your community)

They sell Striata the last glowing mushroom they had taken from the lair of the lamb. They also find out they are in the city of Lon Barago, and that the Red Temple and the White Temple hate each other.

Meanwhile, Quicksilver Twobells decides to go to the White Temple, unsure about what he was walking into, and what he wanted to do.

Upon showing the origami bird, the high priest is summoned. He asks Quicksilver to follow him, and Quicksilver asks that they not go too deep into the temple. The priest chuckles and says he understands, leading Quicksilver into a small office just off the main chamber of the temple.

Quicksilver and the priest trade questions, Quicksilver learns that Vandoh is depicted as feminine in public, and as masculine in the private, inner cult of the Temple. The priest excited and invites Quicksilver to meet the high priestess. Quicksilver agrees and runs the man through while his back is turned.

Quicksilver calmly leaves, closing the door behind him and exiting the temple.

He reunites with the party just as the temple horns start blaring alarm.

The party makes a madcap dash, with Elizabeth pausing to fire off arrows to keep the guards at bay, racing for the red temple, who send their guards to fight the white temple. While the battle rages outside Rodney and Esty join the religion of Shendormu as clerics, and Mortarion joins as a lay member. Rodney and Esty meet The myconid, who dwells below the red temple and anoint them as clerics by feeding him a piece of his mushroom cap.

Striata gives the party some rations and some directions. If they follow the river they will come to the plant kingdom of Mothmoria. If they cross the river they will come to the ruins of Tau Solen, and Tabernach, where smugglers and thieves hideout.
