Case 3.13: Xuntul Molder
The wraith attacked the officers. It landed a few good hits on the officers, but, infuriated by the insults, they ruthlessly destroyed the wraith. Seeing Fingle was in a bad way, Filfaere drank a vial of red liquid and cast cure wounds on the Halfling.
Feeling they had lost the element of surprise, the officers moved on and entered the next room. Jericho narrowly avoid an ice blast as Xuntul attacked the officers. Jericho slid over Xuntul’s desk, trying to close the gap with the drow. He got stabbed with syringes for his efforts, but they were thankfully clean and unused.
Xuntul retreated and pulled a lever on the wall. Two large cages behind the officers crashed open as giant zombies emerge and start attacking. The party split up into pairs, with Jericho and Fingle attacking one and Eddie and Filfaere attacking the other. While the fighters of the group dealt with the hulking zombies, Blaine and Xuntul traded spells, Xuntul having to chug a vial every time he wanted to cast. Blaine drained of spell slots, desperately used Chill Touch to choke out Xuntul, knocking out the drow. With their combined efforts, the giant zombies eventually fell to the officers, too.
With the zombies down and Xuntul handcuffed, the officers started gathering evidence. Fingle pulled the tarp off of a large cage that hadn’t opened when Xuntul released the zombies. Inside the cage, they found an unconscious human. Fingle punched them back into consciousness. Giving them a moment to recover, the human told the officers he was Hank Zappa, a Conduit, who had been kidnapped from the Heavens District by a troll.
Leaving Xuntul’s lab, the group found his storage room. Inside, they found crates upon crates full of vials of M4-G1c. Calling it into the station, Officer Katz told them that because they were in the Lich District, they couldn’t send anyone down, let alone the Narcotics Division, to handle the lab. The officers grabbed a selection of vials for ‘evidence’ as Hank threw fire bolts at anything remotely flammable. With the building filling with smoke and flames, the group left exited the building, taking the Drow and the troll with them.
