It had reached highsun by the time the two adventurers reached a pause in their conversation. As Shanni’s backside was getting sore from perching on the Black Boot’s meeting room table – there being a lack of chairs in the room, for whatever reason – she and Aerikoth decided to head back to one...

Laying Low, Adventurer Style The morning of Ches 23, Darrow arose and got a drink from bartender Marshby to start his day at the Black Boot. The dwarf then wandered outside for a short walk, to see if there was any unusual activity. He soon ran into Aerikoth, who had just teleported in, and the...

Feeling that they had worn out their welcome at Castle Cormaeril and with Tagreth, the head of the Fire Knives apparently on the loose, the party decided to depart. Dermot asked Darrow to bring out the map they had found, which after some examination was found to show an area of the Castle...

The four adventurers soon found the Cormaeril’s seneschal, Lyter. With as much dignity as he could muster, the man asked if they had come for his life. Darrow’s curt reply was to ask where Tagreth Cormaeril was. The seneschal stated that if he were in the castle, they would find him upstairs...

It took some time to clear out the remaining Fire Knives from the upper level, but eventually Shanni’s careful trap removals and their melee skills brought the party success. A separate set of stairs down was discovered, along with a well-trapped study. Aerikoth swiftly looked for any pertinent...

In the western part of the sewers, the four adventurers reached the secret door leading into the basement of Cormaeril Castle. They were uncertain whether House Cormaeril actually knew about it, as Dermot had slipped through it undetected earlier; the area it lead to was guarded, in any case...

The remainder of Ches 22 was passed in preparation for that evening's efforts. With midnight close at hand, Darrow, Dermot and Shanni made their way to Aerikoth’s house outside of West Gate. The sunny day had turned into a rainy night by then, perhaps slightly dampening the spirits of Darrow and...

With Rahnee now gone, it was decided to decamp back to the Gatereach and have a private conversation about what to do next. Jandrico Swift, as soon as they arrived, asked for news of Lady Roaringhorn and was told by Shanni that a wizard came in and whisked her away. After they had waited for a...

After the watchman had returned to his duties, the four adventurers ended up cooling their heels for another hour or so in the main entry area of the Tower, having nothing better to do. Around highsun, however, they suddenly heard some distant shouts and yells, apparently coming from the floor...

The morning of Ches 22, the three adventurers found their wayward mage in the bar room of the Gatereach. Jandrico greeted them and then went to help Goruna prepare breakfast. Dermot asked Aerikoth what he had been up to and the mage vaguely replied that he had some preparations to see to...

After waiting until nightfall on Ches 21 and having neither Rahnee nor Aerikoth appear, Shanni, Dermot and Darrow – most especially Shanni – were getting antsy. The petite rogue snapped a bit at Jandrico Swift as he politely inquired of them if there had been any word, while they occupied stools...

Darrow, Dermot and Shanni said a brief goodbye to Aerikoth and then headed for the Mercenaries Guild in the East Gate district. The clerk at the entry desk said they could go up to see Losifan Urdo shortly, but first needed to update the list for “Helm’s Shadows” to list any new company members...

Cormaeril Castle The next morning on Ches 21, members of the company trickled into the Gatereach’s bar room and greeted Jandrico Swift, who was glad to see them well after the previous night’s events. Aerikoth was the last to arrive, as usual not having slept at the inn with the others. As he...

Shanni went on to describe some of what she had seen from her vantage point outside the Empty Fish. She drew the conclusion that the Scarlet Company had been very wary of them; the rogue had observed their sorcerer sending in his familiar first, then coming to take a look see with one of his...

As Firewine was receiving his drink at the bar, the Scarlet’s fighter Juril came through the door and greeted his companion. The cleric inquired how it was going and the fighter replied that he had been speaking with Shanni for a bit. She said she was feeling a great deal worse than she thought...

Further discussion was interrupted by Rahnee, lacking a drink of her own, deciding to lean over and grab Darrow's mug to take a sip from it. The dwarf’s eyes bulged as he protested, but then he relented and said he would get another round. As he got up, he slid his ale over to his companion...

Rahnee shortly afterwards entered the tavern, pushing her hood back and casually looking around. Darrow glanced at the door, smiled and waved a greeting. As Rahnee walked up to their table, Slipster managed an approximation of a bow and offered to fetch a chair for her, an offer which she...

Firewine asked which guild Dermot was speaking of and was told the Merc’s Guild, who was not happy about an off-the-books contract with a noble house around there (meaning the Cormaerils). This led the Scarlet’s cleric to further query which “books” he was talking about and assert his...

The three adventurers’ speculations were ended with the entrance into the Empty Fish of two men in scarlet cloaks. Aerikoth indicated that he recognized them as they walked over to the table. Firewine, the Scarlet Company’s cleric, spoke first and introduced himself and his companion, the...

As the sun was sinking on Ches 20, there was still no sign of Rahnee and her companions were getting antsy. Shanni departed the Gatereach, saying she wanted to go to the meeting site in advance, to see things for herself. A little while later, Aerikoth, Darrow and Dermot also headed for the...
