The Hunt for Farkas

Hook
It's the same day you rescued Gimtharn from his son in the cave. Farkas has stolen the Lazarus Blade and escaped, but he left behind a small wooden box.

Events

 * The party discovers Farkas's Box. Inside, they find the following:
 * A wedding photo featuring a younger Farkas and an elven woman. On the back is a long letter from Sophitia, where she reveals to him that she is pregnant with his son. She briefly mentions Duran, a name Gimtharn recognizes.
 * A scrap of a sketch of the Lazarus Blade. Farkas has covered it in notes detailing his search for the blade.
 * Several scraps of paper with summoning circles and spirographs carefully drawn on them.
 * A drawing of a statue showing a tiefling winning a battle against a demon. The tiefling wields the Lazarus blade. The drawing is surrounded by torn bits of handwritten theories about the Abyssal War, the sword, and a potential sister statue in Ordenim.
 * A priority mail envelope from Aventine, containing a note written in cypher. The party decodes the message, revealing Duran's assistance in Farkas's quest for the blade. He used his high position in the clergy to learn of Kristini's role as security at the Virric Wedding.
 * A collection of seven illustrations apparently done by Farkas of the rest of the Dungeon Crawlies. Bounty is labelled as The Eye, Dilies as The Flesh, Gab as The Hunt, Gimtharn as The Spiral, Kristini as The Slaughter, Ribbles as The Night, and Goon as The Buried. Ribble's and Goon's portraits are crossed out in red ink. There's an open spot for an eighth portrait, labelled The End.
 * The party returns to Bouldertips, where they go shopping.
 * Gimtharn leads the party to Aventine to find Duran. Arriving at Duran's Chapel, Gimtharn insists he'll handle things inside alone.
 * Duran recognizes Gimtharn immediately and begins to plead for his life. Gimtharn demands Farkas's location, which Duran reveals to be the Diastic temple a few clicks to the south. Gimtharn kills Duran and leaves the chapel.
 * The party heads south to the Diastic temple. Inside they find Farkas, chanting with his hands over the Lazarus Blade. The sword has been thrust deep into the temple's floor, where Farkas has drawn a summoning circle. The room glows with the red energy emanating from the circle and the blade.
 * Farkas notices the party and removes the Lazarus Blade from the circle, brandishing it and his rapier against the party.
 * In the ensuing battle, Farkas sustains multiple injuries. Dilies shatters open his chest, Bounty burns his left side scarring his face, and Gab cuts off his left arm. Kristini takes the Lazarus Blade from his severed appendage and uses it to behead him.
 * As Farkas falls, the light from the summoning circle fades. It's replaced by a soft white light emanating from Farkas's corpse, accompanied by a haunting music box song, before both the light and the music fade away.
