[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8359146, member: 7030144"] Session 16 (November 1, 2020) 20 Zar The group discusses what to do. Runor is worried that Sir Clarence is too powerful to take on directly, unless maybe they could fight him alone. The whole group wants to investigate Lady Lillian further. Ideas: [LIST] [*]Talk to Church of Glordiadel about Lady Lillian [*]Talk to Left-Footed Man [*]Break into her house and search it; they decide to table this idea for the time being [/LIST] Runor, Ashaltir, and Merreep go to talk to Church of Glordiadel while Bartix, Ulgorio, and Aleep go to meet with the Left-Footed Man. Info from Left-Footed Man: Lady Lillian loved her son; she married for wealth and power. Son died of a wasting poison, maybe magic. He was approached by an albino with midnight black hair, definitely not a Noldar, perhaps a tiefling, about three months before the Doge’s death, about killing the Doge.He suggests contacting the old servants of the Doge, including Timulthius, who was dismissed. The bishop tells them that three merchant houses approached them about a change in the Doge. The bishop also thought Lady Lillian could not have killed her son, and had no motive to kill the Doge. He is very worried that this might have been a conspiracy, especially of Sir Clarence, who is not of the faith and a foreigner, and not well liked by the common folk though he has brought order. The Church and the common folk would both like a new Doge. He doesn’t know how the Doge’s son died, but knows that the church healers detected for poison and found nothing. The church healers tried really hard to save the Doge’s son, but could not succeed. He tells them where the Doge’s son is in the Doge’s mausoleum, and implies that he’ll turn a blind eye to them checking it out. He also hires the remaining PCs (besides Runor) to investigate for 200 sp. They talk to Timulthius. He tells them: it was definitely a murder, because the Doge’s parapet was warded (mostly against intruders, but also creates a barrier against falls, a five-foot tall invisible wall of force); doesn’t know if the wards were broken or how, no wizard ever checked them. He suspects one of the three houses that pressed the Doge for major concessions, far more than they should have expected, but they had no agents in the palace, not even ladies in waiting. The three houses (out of 15) that pressured the Doge: Lithala (under Lord Postra Taka), Sran (Lord Divinder), and Fooblu (Lady Safana). He also mentions that he was fired by the House Head, Delbambi, for suggesting that it might have been a murder. Delbambi also insisted on being the only one to care for the young Lord as he was dying. He had worked for the Doge’s family for 40 years, and had no apparent social connections at all. But he would occasionally leave the palace late at night; the servants posit that this was for licentious purposes. Timulthius offers to give the PCs a letter of introduction to Lady Lillian to check out the wards if they want. The PCs go directly to the Doge’s mausoleum. It has a lockable door, but was not locked. They entered, and immediately a lithe form that attacks Mereep; most weapon attacks are bouncing off of it. Merreep wounds it, but not as badly as would be expected; also, it’s not bleeding. Runor does some damage with an inflict wound spell. It looks like a small child, and then it sinks its fangs into Ashaltir, but fails to drink her blood. Aleep blasts it with a Scorching Ray, and it slumps to the ground, mouldering. They identify this as the Doge’s son, a vampire spawn. [/QUOTE]
