The Forgery Blacksmith

Our adventurers discovered the hideout of Erin Copperchin AKA Tssssssk. Tripped some traps on their trek to his camp and confronted him about making knockoffs of the Flaming Phoenix Forge. It turns out, Tssssssk was being blackmailed by a nearby cult operation to make weapons for them like the one they provided him. The cult threatened to burn down Tssssssk‘s orphanage that he runs for displaced monstrous race children. The party set up a trap for the cult when they came to pick up their promised weapons and easily took down the small force. Ranoa seemed to recognize this organization and alerted the others that these people could be saved by a ritual to remove the magical influence of the Cult of the Black Sun leaders. Once they were cleansed, they were able to reveal this particular group was holed up in an abandoned saw mill down the road. It also revealed that they bear the same symbol that the pendant Jukli holds. Ranoa let Tssssssk know they could house the children at his mother’s house until the party took care of this group. Tssssssk hopped into the sunset with his partner to move the children as the party gathered their things and began to head towards the cult encampment to settle some business.
