[QUOTE="Noodle, post: 5740724, member: 6676731"] Second part of session 3 - I should note here that Sam's player and Ash's player are married. They actually take turns coming to sessions while the other watches the kids. Sam's player is already so hooked on this campaign that he was constantly texting his wife for updates. :) Spoilers ahoy.. Team Six rolled up to the Danoran Consulate to investigate the death of Nilasa. They pretty quickly noticed that Mssr. LeBrix's story wasn't adding up but couldn't get much out of him directly. They also noticed that everyone else in the office was absurdly happy given what had transpired that morning. Ben, who has been known to indulge in the substance himself, noticed traces of the fey pepper in the chocolates. They sent the box back to HQ along with Nilasa's body for further analysis. Upstairs, they determined that while there had been break-in attempts on some of the offices, the box of silverware and the case where the egg had been looked curiously unmolested. Outside, Sam's Auntie Worthington flagged him down. She had seen some of what had happened while out for a morning walk on the beach and relayed the info to her nephew. They found the signs of struggle in the alley and the dropped deed. Driver Jack Byron accosted them and gave Team Six an account of the doctor's drive across town. Team Six paid him for the doctor's cab fare, plus a bit extra - with an offer to join their informant network. Team Six proceeded to the House of Blue Birds, and then followed the trail to Dr. Camp's surgical theater. Meanwhile, they engaged the North Shore PD to attempt to track down where the doctor had fled to. In both places, they found they had been beaten by an 'Officer Porter'. Dr. Camp noted that Dr. von Recklinghausen had at times been in the company of a professor of anatomy at the university, but he couldn't recall the name. With that trail cold for the moment, Team Six decided to split up. Sam, Ben, and Slate headed for the Parity Lake PD to check on Nilasa's arrest records. Ash & Pieter went back to HQ so Ash could speak with Nilasa's spirit in privacy. At HQ, they learned that the lab had determined that the vial of the [I]elixir of invisibility[/I] they had found on Nilasa's body contained traces of greymold - not a usual ingredient in said elixir. They intend to go to Alchemist's Row to follow up on that. Ash didn't get a whole lot out of Nilasa, but did determine that she had been slashed across the face by something/someone, and was not shot before she fell on the fence. Pieter determined that her facial wounds had been healed after death. They also got a name, 'Nevard', as the intended recipient of her ill-gotten files. Sam, Ben, and Slate, meanwhile - after checking in with the PLPD and getting them going on retrieving Nilasa's records - headed to the factory of Heward Sechim. He was happy to show them around his factory, and contrast his relationship with his workers versus his neighbors'. He took the news of Nilasa's death hard. He suggested the party check in at the Thinking Man Tavern to meet more of Nilasa's acquaintances. He also requested that Team Six get in touch with his uncle Nevard. Ash & Pieter decided to see what they could find at the university. They were able to track down Prof. Kindleton as Dr. von Recklinghausen's likely contact. She seemed nervous at RHC involvement (I'm assuming she knows something about why he left Arrovia), but had not heard from the doctor yet. Ash & Pieter also beat CC to the professor, so she wasn't even able to mention a visit from Officer Porter. Looks like a dead end for now for the Team. Sam, Ben, and Slate head to the Tavern just as the after-work crowd is arriving. They're greeted by Barb when a tremor hits - which is also felt by Ash & Pieter at the university. This is where we'll pick up with our next session next weekend. That'll be it for us until after the New Year. Question for RangerWickett for next time - I'm assuming the auras of the spooks on Cauldron Hill don't affect each other, right? i.e., they only go after the PCs, Nevard, and perhaps the non-minion monsters? The flavor text mentions 'mortal creatures', but the power description says 'any creature that is brightly illuminated, even other monsters'. [/QUOTE]
