ZAFIRAH
send some qunae officials after her

KING SANDWORM
his current statblock is just phase one. once they kill phase one, it heals all of its hit points, gains proficiency in all saving throws, grows leathery golden-white holy wings (flying speed of 200 feet), a giant eyeball forms inside of its maw to look at them all.

once they *finally* kill that, it's time for the finale; phase three. the sandworm splits in half, and then collides with itself, making an O out of its hardened carapace, a giant great eyeball forming between its two halves. its two wings split into six, and it grows six arms, each of which ends in a hungering sandworm mouth, with six spiked tongue-flails.
if they kill phase three, it will begin to explode, giving them all one minute to get it away. once the timer is up, everything within a 1 mile radius will immediately die, without any saving throw, without ever coming back, without any chance to reverse it.

"I bring upon you all, oblivion. Something from beyond the great Firstborn. Something from beyond us all. It is incomprehensible in why it is so angry. It is unknown why it seeks so much destruction. What is known about it is that nothing will ever compare to its might, no single being will ever topple its power, and no god nor mortal will ever hope to defeat it."

Eridon knows this one merchant who is also cross-dimensional, named like, Rikor, and he's some sort of imp thing? buys and sells magic items, buys 'em for decent prices and sells 'em for D4C, but he sells them to enemies, so the party both gets them back, but also has to *fight* them.

next session, Eridon Pale is gonna try to take the piece from them, first by sending a letter saying "Hey, put the eye in this envelope and toss it into the wind, and then I won't kill you", when they say no he'll appear only a few minutes later, land on the roof of the caravan, and point a gun at Kaari, being like "Give up the eye."
after they fight and he's close to dead, he'll give 'em a grenade as a "present" and then pretend to die. 10 mins later, the grenade'll explode, seemingly disappearing, but in reality it'll let Eridon know where they are, and he'll try to track them down.
during his planning, prince catches wind of this shit, and the two will fight, with the party finding them mid-fight. they can choose to help one or the other.
- if they help Eridon:
Eridon will begrudgingly give them some help, and say that "maybe the bounty wasn't worth killing good-hearted idiots like you anyways". he'll probably give some tips on some shit, and maybe lend them a few grenades
Prince will somehow see this as part of the prophecy, and generally have his opinions stay the same, though he'll probably be a little less good-natured in the future
- if they help Prince:
Prince will acknowledge their strength and how they're "so close to becoming keys to the future", will buff the king's ring thing, maybe teach some spells to the spellcasters, and fuck off
Eridon will flee and make a personal vendetta to hunt these fuckers down and kill them, no matter how long it takes.

- if the group goes to Qunae
- the corpse piece (a hand, perhaps?) is guarded by Hegemol from hollow knight
- he wields a large maul that he holds in one hand sometimes
- is a geomancer, possibly studied some tomes written by kaari's shifra guy
- after they beat his ass, some thief guy steals the corpse part, and runs deep into qunae with it
- oh boy, it's shell, he has the corpse's hand now and is pissy
- he's probably gonna try to kill the party
- has a stand, 「Dead Man's Party」, which appears like a mariachi skeleton behind him

*Mainly constructed out of cloth tents and small houses of sandstone brick, this is the City of Masks, Qunae. The majority of the people walking around are wearing robes--usually a dull white or grey color--and masks, various symbols on the masks and robes differentiating the people instead of facial features and races. You can hear people shouting out various offers and bargains in every elemental dialect, as well as a few tongues that don't even sound like they should be heard by mortal ears. In alleyways, needles and potions are traded while nearby guards look the other way, and a faint melody of wheezy, swaying music can barely be heard over the shouting and bartering. Welcome to Qunae; try not to get yourselves killed.*

*A very tall man in a black suit stood there, holding a shovel adjusted to be like a blade in one of his lanky arms, and a golden revolver clasped tightly in his other hand, a symbol of a skull engraved into its side. His face could not be seen, instead only having a white mask in the shape of a skull looking back at them, and a red-banded black cap on his head.* "I bet you thought you'd never see me again. Unfortunately, the undead don't really get tired." *He leaned forwards, seeming to look directly at Kaari and Howler.* "Except, I am tired, of two things. Tired of bullshit promises and annoying lies."
