Session 6
Quick session- we watched the South Park Movie instead
~~~~~~~~~~
Its two days after the hanging of Marta Reng. The whole city is abuzz with intrigue, as people try to find out what exactly happened. Even the PC's innkeeper admits to being part of the buzz, he tells them that there has been some inquireries into who they are and what thier habits were. Hanna is interested in the Myrddraal that they saw in the woods and is trying to track it or find any other signs.
Wondering what's going on, they take the innkeeper's advice and go to the East market to gather some info and get a feel for the city and its mood. The market is full of entertainers and wares. Unfortunately, its not full of information.
When the PC's return to the Inn, there's a letter waiting for them from Colvarean Damodred- the King's niece (and Moiraine Sedai's cousin....). They're invited to call upon her at their earliest convienience. When the PC's wonder what they should do ad look for Jander. At this point, the innkeeper tells them that Jander and Renala went to a play in the outercity and would be back later.
The PC's decide to wait until they get back and then consult with Jander. he says that they should get dressed up as much as possible and then see what the Lady has to say.
The next morning, they arrive at Lady Damodred's residence, her very very very very very very rich residence. They're intimidated by the luxery that is on display, and wonder why they're there. When they're introduced to the Lady she asks them to sit in her presence and starts to gossip.
She asks them about small things and then about Lord Davere (her "dear friend"). When they don't have any information to share, she warns them about Moiraine and her great ability to get people killed. The only motive that they can sense is that Colvarean really doesn't like Moiraine.
When they get back to the Inn, they see two men talking to the innkeeper who nods his head at them and disappears into the backroom. They two men say that they're there to bring the PC's back to Illian and Justice. And then the two men jump to attack, causing subdual damage.
After dispatching the first man, they chase the second man into the street and cut him down. However, as they return to the interior of the inn, they see that Renala is in the grasp of a third man, who is standing behind her with a knife to her throat. He tells them to put on the manicals that he had piled by the door.
Elana and Jogdush fail to intimidate the man and are forced to put the manicals on. However, the man is roughly grabbed by an unseen force and is rammed into the ceiling, killing him.
Elana is puzzled that she wasn't able to see the weave that had grabbed the man, but understanding hits her when she turns to her cousin, who is panting and sweating.
"She said it would happen," Jander mumbles.
Renala looks at him with utter horror. When Jander sees the expression on her face, he turns and runs into the crowd.
At this point, the innkeeper runs out of the backroom yelling "Channeller! That man can Channel!"
Jogdush tells the rest that he doesn't want to be mistaken for Jander, and they all run out into the city and then into the outer city to the room that they hired earlier in the week. All along the way, Jogdush talks about his disgust for Jander. Renala is silent.
They bribe the innkeeper (who is rail thin) for privacy and start to wonder how their life is going to get any more complicated.
