Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Session 12
Session 12
I upped the ante by making Blander an elite and having the badgers resist 10, and jump back up the round after they were first dropped. I kept the Cloudwood encounter as written to give the unit a chance to kick some criminal butt.
Still nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected. Malthusius' visions imparted a clue as to the nature of Nilasa's murderer, and warned of the treachery of Lorcan Kell should they decide to pay for access to the Doctor.
Session 12
- The unit had a bit of trouble bringing in the House Elf, what with the hazardous environment, drowning tanks, etc.
- Blander Waryeye also had an empathic link with Danisca Wareye, thanks to their ritual bonding during marriage. Each was an accomplished magic-user, skilled in the art of deception. There were also apothecary guards and honey badgers to contend with.
- Finally, the unit brought them down, and in exchange for a plea bargain established that the wand smuggling would take place in two nights' time (4th Summer), led by a local criminal named Deorn Feldman. Feldman and his accomplices planned to rendezvous with a Crisilliyri ship somewhere out in the Ayres.
- The Waryeyes were arrested as a precaution and Rumdoom put the feelers out with his contacts in Bosum Strand.
- The following day, Malthusius detailed his dreams to the unit: in the first he saw himself (possibly as Nilasa) being attacked by a shadow creature which slashed at his face; in the second he (and his allies) paid gold for a chest which turned out to contain vipers.
- The unit chose to spend the 3rd day of the investigation travelling to Nevard Sechim's henge in the Cloudwood.
- On the way they intervened in an apparent brigand attack. It turned out, though that the 'victims' were Kell Guilders (minions of crime boss Lorcan Kell) who had kidnapped the lover of brigand leader Renard Woodsman in reprisal for non-payment of dues Kell felt he was owed...
- In return for the rescue of his girlfriend (and despite the death of one of his men) Renard agreed to escort the unit to Nevard.
