SESSION RECAP:
After two days of relaxing with the locals of Hardby, the party travels to Scant. Travelling via ship took one month and nothing special happened in the way, with the exception of the majestic (and terrifying) view of a silver dragon fly a few feet away from the ship, ignoring it, like a man might ignore a petty cockroach.
On Readying 11, the group arrives at Scant. After trying to find some usefull rumours, they meet a man named Lorath who reveals that he belongs to the Scarlet Brotherhood and he gives a huge amount of money to any group that brings him a certain book from an ancient temple in the Headlands. The party accepts and after a few days it begins its expedition towards that temple.
After a day and a half, they reach the temple. The search the first rooms of it and find a chamber full of tombs. In there they are attacked by a group of fungus infested mummies. They manage to overpower them but are very injured. They loot many valuables from the tombs and retreat back to Scant.
Once they are back, they might not completed the quest of Lorath to take his reward, however they managed to get back enough loot for them to start training to become stronger!

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:
In this session, I used a module that exists in Carcass Crawler, the OSE magazine. It was about a snake-centered temple and because I had some other modules that I wanted to assign to that area (like the Tomb of the Serpent King), in my headcanon, a few centuries ago the Headlands were the center of a yuan-ti empire.
The strange thing about many OSE modules is that they are always fungus-like. Anything must be full of mushrooms for some reason. The mummies there where a toned down version of the real deal, that were used as hosts by the mushrooms and therefore weren't as strong as they should be.
Anyway, the interaction with the Scarlet Brotherhood just began! This can be a very good partnership!!!
