Pi'za Party

Greenwake 40: Cock found a sentient weapon that claims to know his forgotten past and has plans for him. It is of a design no one has seen before and it grants him special powers. Maybe look into that.

Greenwake 43: Xanla Dustfeet attacked Cock with a similar weapon, when she was killed Pi'za absorbed her weapon and gained power. It said something about a shadowy organization known as the Black Saints.

Greenwake 45: A mysterious man who claimed to have designed a similar weapon attacked the party, and when he died Pi'za was able to absorb his weapon to gain power.

Seedtime 4: A Drow Wizard and his Fluxcharger golem crash landed in Grey Hawk with clear orders to eliminate Cock written out. The golem bore cannons that seemed similar to Pi'za, and the gun was eager to consume their essence as well as the golem's core.

Seedtime 8: A group called The Vile Hunt is killing intelligent animals in The Beastlands with weapons that look very similar to these. Cock's weapon was able to absorb their weapons just like the others.

Ship's Log 3: A strange assassin named Thunivel in the Sapling of Yggdrasil seems to be carrying similar weapons and seems connected to The Vile Hunt.

Ship's Log 4: Thunivel and his elite death squad of Black Saints were killed in a massive battle with the party, though Thunivel's corpse was never located. Pi'za said Cock's standing in the organization would rise considerably with this feat and that he should go to their headquarters in The Shadowfell to spend his Shadow Talents.

Ship's Log 5: In the Shadowfell, Pi'za revealed his true form as a human shade, an ancient Netherese mage who had transcended his mortal flesh by pouring his life force into the weapon Cock carries. The party visited Phylornel, the headquarters of the Black Saints, but didn't do too much digging into the organization itself.
