[QUOTE="Ajar, post: 5785025, member: 85901"] At the reformatory, they made sure to interview the two prisoners one at a time, and isolated from the rest. They interviewed Ford first, asking general questions about Nilasa before revealing that she died. Ford was reluctant to reveal additional information. I played him as being kind of stupid, and accidentally had him ask for his conjugal visits rather than asking to get out of prison. This turned out to work great, though, because when the PCs interviewed Travis, he claimed he'd been the brains of their con schemes, and that he was smart enough to ask for a ticket out of prison, while Ford had probably only asked to see his girlfriends. "I've known Ford a long time," Travis said, "and the man thinks with his unmentionables." The constables asked him to give them something to make them believe he really had info. Travis told them that something was going to happen on the 4th day of summer. Murdok asked if he was talking about Nilasa's court date, but he replied that he didn't know anything about that, this was something else. The constables said they'd see what they could do about getting Travis sprung early, and then called Ford back in. Vesta solicitously asked him for the contact info for his girlfriends... and then threatened to reveal them to each other if they didn't talk! The Intimidate check failed by one point, so Ford told them off and called for the guards to take him back to his cell. The constables confirmed with Mr Goodson that he'd be open to releasing Travis, provided they came with a police order allowing it. Crossing back to Pine Island, they went to a local police station and called in a favour to obtain that order. They were informed that the document would be ready for them to pick up the next morning. Then they headed to their appointment with mayor Macbannin. Murdok suspected that Doro the courier was actually the mayor leaving in disguise, but after meeting with the mayor, they seemed convinced that that hadn't been the case. They agreed to Macbannin's terms, and went to collect Nevard. They'd prearranged a safe house in the Central District for him, so while the constables were off at the reformatory, Nevard's caretakers had been carrying him down from the Cloudwood on a litter. The constables found him at the safe house as planned. Along with his orc shaman companion, they went down to the basement to perform the ritual. Vesta and Reginald both noticed the dark provenance of the ritual, but declined to make an issue of it. Nevard was quite spry as the whole group travelled back to Macbannin's mansion to get his amulets and kegs of goat's blood. Then they scaled Cauldron Hill and scouted the peak. Murdok spotted a cauldron stuck on an outcrop partway down the cliff, and held a rope so Viveen could climb down and get it. Reginald and Vesta looked at it and concluded that it could be used to store magic, and that it would spook animals. Because of its provenance, they decided to throw it off the cliff. :devil: As they were setting up camp, Viveen let passed on some information about the Ragman that she'd picked up from a former army buddy. Vesta's player cracked and told the others about his secret mission to deliver the mirror to Gale... but claimed she was only telling the players, and that Vesta wasn't telling the other constables! We'll sort that out next session. :devil::devil: Next time: Night on Bald Mountain! (I love the section titles, RangerWickett!) [/QUOTE]
