[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8813301, member: 7032019"] As most of the team reacts to the strange departure of Giorgio from the theater, the bard finds Hawkins Dorian, clutching at a deep, bleeding chest wound. Choking out that "the control ring" was taken, he quickly puts two and two together, understanding that they were presumably about to activate the ship's teleporation feature, incinerating everyone on board in the process! He rushes to get his team's attention, then together, they rush to the stairwells in pursuit of the figure. Above deck, the ship rocking in the waves and slick from the rain, they spot Giorgio making his way past a pair of half-orcs, towards the Guildmistress' office. Attempts at conversation and diversion are met with nothing but hostility, as not only the half-orcs attack, but a concealed halfling rogue. The rogue ends up overboard, but is able to swim to a nearby rowboat tied off to the side of the galleon. The battle eventually turns to the team's favor, as copious use of spells serve to limit the assailants' options. As the tide turns, two of them flee, seemingly consuming potions of water breathing and diving beneath the waves, while Giorgio and Brutus are subdued and bound. As the commotion above dies down, some return to the theater, where they learn the performance has been cancelled after "a major injury backstage." Those that are part of the Lyceum war effort are informed, however, of the apparent attack on the ship, and rush to the deck. While the rowboat is searched, revealing badly burned elven bodies, Simeon Gohanach expresses outrage how this attack could have been allowed, and in frustration, shouts, "Where [I]the hell [/I]is Lee Sidoneth?!" [B]SESSION NOTES: [/B]Only one combat this session, as many of the players seemed trapped in a state of analysis paralysis. The bard was heavily fixated on trying to negotiate with Giorgio, not really understanding that the Wayfarer had been playing him for a rube the entire time. I made the mistake of giving the party the benefit of the doubt on their own speed, and let them catch Giorgio before he made it to Sheena Larkins' office... this meant the ship was never in any real danger of teleportation, and their heavy use of spells like Hypnotic Pattern and Silence kept the bad guys from really using their abilities. I guess the gloves are coming off, in the prison... [/QUOTE]
