[QUOTE="Echolocation, post: 7925942, member: 7011911"] [B]Session 9[/B] [B](Courtesy of Ella's player)[/B] Our session began after speaking to Skyseer Nevard and agreeing to escort him up Cauldron Hill. After some debate we agreed to focus on the more time-sensitive lead of the smuggling operation for now, and sent Angharad off to Parity Lake to seek more information. He chatted with one of Kell’s thugs over some shared cigars and discovered that no one actually knew where the smuggling operation was taking place - or who was running it. So maybe he and Lisandra weren’t so lax in their questioning after all... Meanwhile Ella and Lisandra had headed to the docks to chat to their favourite shirtless eladrin: Ugin Sisk. He agreed to look for the wharf mentioned on Nilasa’s receipt but seemed… dubious about his ability to stay focused. He also revealed that our ship - the [I]Mist Runner[/I] - had been completed several days ago but he’d forgotten to send a message. We reconvened at RHC headquarters, where one of our fellow constables: Serena the man-hating technologist, was pacing around outside. After some excited chatter - and leading us on a merry chase through the streets of Central District - Serena revealed that she’d discovered a new badge power: the ability to point the way to RHC headquarters. As exciting as this was, we were nowhere near as excited as the rest of Pete’s team: who’d already discovered an alternative use for the command and were having great fun betting money on it. On our way to view this badge-bouncing spectacle we were handed a letter by the ever-immaculate Maxwell, containing a note from Dr Barnaby Camp and an incomprehensible scrawl that only Lisandra could read. The scribble revealed that Dr Von Recklinhausen was seeking a way to Ber, and was convinced he was being stalked by some “wretched creature” in the streets of Flint.

Or multiple dinners, in Ella’s case. Upon arriving at the reformatory we found a very drunk young man arguing with the man in charge. Angharad recognised his friend, Rhys, and with Ella’s help managed to get him back on his feet and in a carriage - but not before Rhys had accused Derek Goodson of mistreatment of prisoners and possible murder.

Derek denied any mistreatment of the… participants but did admit to having guards shoot escapees and a boat burn down a few weeks ago. So that’s nice. We were quickly sent off on a tour while Derek stayed behind to do “paperwork”, and were treated to some… [I]questionable [/I]music, before finally being led to the people we’d actually come to see: Ford Sorghum and Travis Starter. With a [I]lot [/I]of coaxing from Lisandra - and an eventual promise to free them - the two petty criminals revealed that Nilasa was working with a new criminal group called “The Family” and someone called “The House Elf” to smuggle tens of thousands of gold worth of wands to Nilasa’s allies in the Cloudwood. Commandeering Ford and Travis, we returned to the mainland and broke into Derek’s shack finding it abandoned and recently relieved of any important documents. Nothing suspicious to see here, let’s move right along… We headed back at headquarters, said hi to Sunny, and stayed up until midnight completing the necessary paperwork to free Ford and Travis. At which point Ella was ready to pass out on the floor. Lisandra invited her back to her apartment instead - much to Ella’s delight - while Angharad insisted on going back to the Cloudwood.
