In s24 the DM neither names nor shows him; the party votes three to two to stay and look for him.

Mother (Session 21)unknowns21s24 (referenced)Unidentified figure the kidnappers invoked: “Mother wants him alive.” (Fen’s report). Probably the woman Rime calls “Mother Sarah” in s22 and again in s23 (not DM-stated); still unseen. The cultist killed in s23 is not her on the evidence, and the voice heard in the temple in s23 is not identified with her. In s24 Rime says only “Sarah”, who is “completing the ritual”.
The charcoal-robed kidnappersunknowns21s21Three people in charcoal robes, with undead, who took Pell north; known only from Fen’s account. The temple’s cultists of s22 and the cultist killed in s23 are not linked to them by the DM.

In s23 he came out to help the party face her and pointed to a sealed door that needs “the black orbs”; no action of his is narrated in the fight that followed. In s24 he is only a voice: he will “join you when you go to fight Sarah”, says “she’s completing the ritual” and does not know where the orbs are; his name is not spoken.
