Session 026

Previous: Session 025; Next: Session 027

Start: 10th of Houden, 11 pm in the following locations:

• Argus von Steinberg, Rohtagels, and Crax Goobadink gathered at the Split Chest Pub and stayed in a basement bedroom, accessible by trapdoor beneath the bar. They told Princess they were successful in their heist and were waiting on Aoife Sweeney with the loot.
• Aoife Sweeney and Otto Ozzley returned to the Dragon's Hearth Inn. Aoife bought a new room and moved the pets, Tori, Bill Brouwen, and Dohwar over to it for the evening. Tori left to retrieve Specter from outside On The Rockslide
  
• Calliope doubled back to Divine Bounty. Upon entering, he observed a deal going down near the back wall: Over the Fence were handing over Princess' borrowed bag of holding over to a blond dwarf (Samphith Goldenbeard)

After waiting some time for Tori to return with Specter, Aoife Sweeney and Otto Ozzley left the Dragon's Hearth Inn in search of her companions. On her way through the rain up to the Ridge Ward, she passed by a trio of hooded figures (Elowen Telum, Lyria Fulgair, and Isolde Gansirto), whom she overheard stated "at the split." Connecting this to the Split Chest Pub, the two Bill's Bimbos members hurried west along the Ridge Ward. Passing by Unknown, they noticed Tori and Specter have been held up by the contingent of Goldguard who are investigating the incursion at Unknown. Many of the dwarves who'd joined the attack on the lobby were restrained and being questioned. Aoife Sweeney and Otto Ozzley snuck past. A the end of the Ridge Ward, they came to see Divine Bounty.

Otto Ozzley entered Divine Bounty and began to ask around for Calliope. He was quickly approached by 2 bouncers of the establishment, and was led to the basement chamber where Calliope was previously escorted. Aoife Sweeney scaled the cliffside down to the eastern Cobble Ward, taking a much more direct route to the Split Chest Pub and schmooved as quick as she could to her compatriots there.

Aoife Sweeney entered and found Princess, Argus von Steinberg, Rohtagels, and Crax Goobadink inside. She warned Princess of incoming hostiles sent by Samphith Goldenbeard. Princess instructed Duke* to disappear the front door and open the escape tunnel behind the 1st underground bedroom's wall. Everyone climbed inside, and the wall curled back into place.

* Crax Goobadink and Aoife Sweeney came to the conclusion that Duke must refer to the building itself, and soon further deduced that they are a type of shapeshifting entity (like a mimic)

The tunnel led to the Sedesend Sewer System, specifically to the tunnels near the eastern wall and eastern gate of Sedesend. Princess led the group to the exit she is familiar with. She also shared that these tunnels acts as the base and a path oft traveled for The Turn presence within the city, as it provides easy access and travel throughout the Cobble Ward.

Upon exiting, the group came upon the downtrodden, rain-soaked masses of the early vacaters of Mazraea, their huddled masses shivering in their makeshift tent city on the city wall exterior. Crax Goobadink, Argus von Steinberg, and Rohtagels decided to use Aoife's Enchanted Aerial Silks to make a tent and camp out to avoid the attention of the Goldguard. Crax Goobadink identified the 2 potions and 8 spell scrolls he stole from Unknown. Aoife Sweeney and Princess made easy entry back into Sedesend, with Princess talking to a familiar Goldguard and easing their entry with a small bribe in gold.

Aoife Sweeney and Princess returned to the site of the Split Chest Pub and found the previously squeezed bar lot completely empty. Princess failed to conceal her finding a small object and putting it in her pocket, which Aoife Sweeney gathered is Duke. They then found a small shitty bar known as the Grung Goblet Tavern and wrote out the first terms and languaging of the Reduseer Gag Order, as a means to resolve these tensions with the Etherwalkers and get the band back together.

End: 2am on the 11th of Houden, various locations
