Recap
Caring for a newborn god-baby pulled from a shrine pearl, the party flies the (now permanently airborne) ship to a temple hosting a paladin’s knighting ceremony. Tick-Tick’s joke about “nosebleed” seating gets him challenged to a duel. Mid-ceremony the paladin transforms into a glabrezu demon, kills the high priest, and casts Confusion and Reverse Gravity on the crowd. The party kills the demon in a running fight; when the spells end, the airborne, confused crowd crashes back down, killing nearly everyone else in the temple. A voice announces Clydewell Keep has fallen as Pat ends the session; the party hits level 12.
