kas isn't doing well but she wants to help. Really doesn't want to split the party.

kas is falling apart. feels dead again in a awy. best friend is upset. everything is fucked. can't save anyone. no shoes.

Kas will try to heal calling from within instead. healing hands. eyes light up? A fear of DEATH.



Kas is breathing. she is shaky but stable right now. her mask has cracked.

Kas is crying. Magic is wonky. it feels wrong. it feels like I'm dead in a way again!

oh great. there is death.

REMEMBER RADIANT SOUL

pray to valon? she is scared.


CON hard labor

temp awning protect


Vic's clears some rubble. soldier training.

Paws drops a brick on the bean. oh no.

harvey stretch and goes slow.

Searos aces it. pent up magical energy pushes him forward.

Kas goes in tavern mode. dissaccociates realizing the bricks are like a tankard of ale. better memoreis than what i'm currently feeling.

I see a door. and some torchlight.

just as we are scraping the last bit of rubble out of the way, i hear a door slam instead.

possible that someone is in there. be cautious. Food runs away -Harvey.

6 guests are in a pillow fort.

barracks 40 feet away.

we feel kinda isolated here.


we enter the doorway.

robustly stocked food storage room.

searos opens the north door in the storage room.

tuffs of fur and feathers. livestock to be butchered for the food.

harvery sees feathers and will 100% murder the duke now esp with all his susness

harvey opens door and continues into a loop of the food storage area.


heavy iron door slam shut.

paws and harvey find an iron door. shut.

peephole in door, see stairs leading down

locked door? call vic!

did you try knocking?

nope.

searos and vic will run and slam the door together.

searos bounces but vic gets a great hit but we find out there is a bar on the door.

paws gets their tinker tools out and  pries off the hinges

vic finishes off the door.

use a waepon to leverage the bar off.

Vic needs something to help slide the slide thw sowrd.

Kas goes to the kitchen and immediately finds the lard.

Handful of lard. brings it back to vic

another comforting thing.

6. no coming back this time.



I rolled the mysterious d6


vic uses his greatsword and lard to pop the door bar off.

vic sits down and feel bad for bessie the greatsword.

vic almost lost his dearly loved greatsword.

harvey takes pint on thsese stairs. searos next

.kas worries about vic. you okay?

kas and vic bond over naming their toold and almost losing them / losing them)

I hope your bessie swrod stays with you for a long time.

Glassstaff is my broom's name Of red brand.

paws last. 

Don't ... Please stay in eyesight.


harvey is unable to open the door.

harvey tries to decive the group that he pick locked the open the unlocked door. we know.

bad dross.

smell something strange that we can't just place.

faintly metallic. a little rotten. decay. blew out a candle. faintly. something was maybe burning.

harvey tries to stealth around. sees Roallet and Baronness Gwynn Cromm \

they are talking in hushed tones. harvey backs up a bit

searos tries to peer around the corner and listen in:

snippets " trying to figure out what to do next. someone is snooping around. who is it. only a matter of time before they get here. what if they are armed. what if they find out. how do we recover from this"

searos indicates that people are talking and then slinks down on the ground.

vic points to regrouping.

harvey drags searos.

vic says i'm a little wroried that i'm still in a bathrobe.

i do rely a bit on armor. 

if you just play dumb, you can get a lot of places.


sounds like they are covering something up! something went bad.

harvey wants vic to be dumb"

and paws wants to listen in a bit more.

Kas is really thinking about valon today.

paws would be best but not feeling great after the strength excersize.

hasrvey stealths and listens.

the tone of the convo is now a simmering argument.

"we don't know how long the storm will last. how long she will be like this. everything is already ruined. we need to move forward and get rid of everyone. everythig is already compromised. I don't know what you are.....

I have more to consider than just her. I have the entire city to consider. a region to secure. 100 guards to command. this is bigger than what's going on . not going to turn my blades against the wealthiest people of daggerford and waterdeep and the group helping make daggerford more secured. that's not the way, we can't do this. 

after a minute or two

crom wants to make a fast and assertive chouice

and rolatt wants cautiona nd is concenred about other responisbilties and the people and city itseld. 

harvey prepares to shoot at crom.

rolatt assumes a "this is where i'm at. you need to meet me halfway"

crom sayas fine, let's let her decide and turns around and start walking off.

opening acquired.

No broom. Couldn't bring it with my dress and no shoes and the chair.

harvey kills Crom.

Roallet turns around and eyes harvey and hesistates for one moment.

"Lets talk" -harvey

"we need to talk fast little bird" -roallet

Harvey calls the others forward.

roalett grabs crom's boday and moves it to a corner and motions harvey forawrd.

crom is bleeding out.  "should i fix that? should I stop the bleeding?"

Vic says yes. Roallet does not move. does not emote. raoleet is scary. I lock eyes with paws. vic helps me get to crom. i stabalize her. 

harvey starts trying to explain after vic and paws scold him a bit. 

Harvey thinks roalet has a good heart for daggerford. 

harvey looks out for mules.

vic says we are looking out for each other which goes for other people too.

what about crom's heart. how does roalteet feel about that -vic

making judgements on peoples character puts you in compromising situation.  backed into a corner now.

can tell a lot about a person when backed into a corner. -vic

vic is realyl worried about keeping eveness and peace between all parties here. 

paws is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the world safe. 

"ok learn about each other. start with duke" -harvey.

Roallet's eyes to wide and holds up a fist to signal. hush, stop.

silence, then chains in the distance further in the chambers. clanking. clanking. stopping. thumping. a pile being dragged, dragged, then back to silence. 

Roallet holding her breathe. 

we don't have time. what we need to do in my personal opinion and lock that door that you came through and go into the chambers more and finish this. and after, nothing that happens here leaves this cellar.  no matter what the outcome is. no matter how many are left to enforce it. -roal

"no problem" - harvey.

how does she feel about this -vic (crom)

she's a part of this too. not the one i'm worried about

not human vocal cords. 

that is a threat to everyone's safety? -paws

shrieks. 

no. bottom of the list. just the prisoners.

the chains start to drag again. roal shuts her eyes and waits for the chain to stop.

that's going to be the biggest problem.

what are you all hiding down here??? -Vic

Roallet grabs a key, glances down, shuts the door, locks it. 

it's a long story and we do not have time for all of it. 

morren is not what she appears to be and hasen't been for a long time. down here is her private prison where she kepts those who snoop. far reaches, other planes.

morren is a woman in hiding. cornered as we are.

loud gutteral bellow

morren has many eneimies. and you need to tell me if you are in or out now before they come to us because we need to go to them first.

it's not in our nature to wait things out.

You have my fist. - paws

and my sword. -vic.


you can't take risks. you can't die.

i can't bring you back. i have nothing to help. 

I can't save you! -Kas

Paws says "you came back"

the weave wasn't broken then! and we had valon


Vic is at a loss of how to save 

"it's gonna be okay" but then cataches himself. 

it's okay to be worried sometimes. to be fearful. Hell i'm fearful 

sometimes you just don't come back. you should feel so lucky to have friends who would see it through. we can walk that path forward together. 

and if I fall, well.... choke up. it was with my friends. 


Kas hugs Vic. 


Roalett looks forward to waht we are made of. beyond these offices.

morren's core guard reside. no longer glamoured. succbi and incubi.

had crom well charm.

morren's private chambers. 

beyond that, the prison and prisoners.

she's cut off byt the sound of chains and a pounding that shakes the very walls of this subterrrainin labrynth. 

and beyond that, her jailer.

Hope you are ready.
