Message: <blockquote data-quote="ptolemy" data-source="post: 9481169" data-attributes="member: 1412">Last session of 5e:The players had discovered that their librarian buddy was actually an arcane caster at the same time that the baron did. Despite the librarian using magic to help save the baron from political embarrassment the baron insisted on trying them for witchcraft and sentenced the poor guy to death. The archeologist (secretly a warlock who will be executed the moment anyone finds out) sent his "trained raven" to steal the Dean's potable hole, smuggled it into the dungeon with a note to the effect of "hide in this" then the "raven" took the hole to a nearby copse to meet the players. The Dean had  been onto them all the time, as he wants the librarian/wizard in the party (a long running NPC) to translate a copy of De Vermis Mysteriis* but he cannot act openly to challenge the baron as he needs the baron to stay in the anti-war faction. The Dean snatched the librarian and then informed the party that he had been executed at dawn - which the party knew to be false as they were with him at that time. The Dean is impressed and wants to hire the party for missions, he has the librarian under lock and key and the players have been paid off. They haven't realised the Dean has manipulated them, but they will find out if they carry on like this...* we are playing just 5e as some light hearted fun after our CoC campaign got a little heavy what with people being sectioned, dying and being spirited away by dimensional shambles. They all groaned when they found the copy of DVM ;-)</blockquote>
