- [[Sonie]] basically bedridden for now due to her injuries (Yen is missing the session due to feeling unwell)
- [[Bastien]] after sleeping off his wounds got up and the whole [[Band of Idiots]] got together to do a chitchat
- Went to find [[Captain Zodge]], doing paperwork due to gathering up the witnesses. Doesn't even look up when we enter.
- He mentioned he heard there was an assassination attempt on us last night.
- Wanted to know if we knew who it was
- Pointed the finger at Vanthampur's, as they're the only people whose feathers we rustled and drow assassins are *not* cheap
- Unfortunately no hard evidence.
- Witnesses coming soon, we decided to stick around to ask a few questions.
- With our two hours break we decided to check out the [[Vanthampur Family]] villa
- The Upper City has their own guards to control the comings and goings, [[Flaming Fist]] badges get us through np
- Villa is well guarded, but doesn't look like there was much of an increase
- There is no super obvious easy way in. There is a barn we can get in the windows of, or just walk in the gates.
- When we came back [[Klim Jhasso]] was there and lookin' pretty good
- The other woman looks poor and pathetic. A wine peddler. [[Vendetta Kress]], human female.
- Tried to figure out what we would ask them. We just need to implicate the Vanthampurs and/or place them down there.
- Zodge showed up started interviewing while we Bing Chilling in the room.
- I totally zoned out. She gave some small testimony.
- Klim mentioned that he heard [[Mortlock]]'s voice, complaining that he didn't want to be there. Meaning he was forced to due to some kind of responsibility.
- The info wasn't enough to raid properly, but Zodge said he could run a distraction while we sneak in as independant agents.
- ==We got whole new outfits to make ourselves less recognizable to the crows==
- We decided to try and track down Mortlock to see if he would testify on a plea deal (but way more medieval)
- Bastien had the absolute 8head idea of checking around for black market healers for information. Decided to give that a shot first
- Sarari got a double 6 on an advantage roll so we got nothing
- Can use Shadow Network but thats a last resort
- Bastien inquired at temples. 17 got him some info on it.
- Butcher under the alias Crow - a butcher - sometimes heals some thieves if need be.
- Tharys butcher in the Marketsquare. We head there
- He's a middle-aged half-elf lookin dude
- Bastien asked after Mortlock but apparently the dude fled the city. Shit.
- Guess we're invading a villa.
#### Planning phase
- Buy dust of disappearance (300gp)
- Chonky bois take off armour and hit them with Mage Armour (60gp for the one scroll)
- Normal healing pots (50gp)
- ~~Drow poison (200gp)~~
#### Execution (failure) phase
- We goin'. The bois ditched the armour and Sonie hit them with mage armour.
- In the night we snuck to the manor, we're going to try to get up the windows of the barn I saw earlier.
- Inside the barn there is a stable, and a small smithing station I assume for a farrier.
- Middle aged ferrier was working away.
- Tried to scare him away with Silent Image and he screamed for help
- Trying to make him look like a dummy, instead it tipped someone off that someone was here.
- Instead scaled the wall to throw a rope over.
- I fell off the fucking wall trying to get to the trees
- Tossed rope over wall.
- Arvid made a thump noise. The clap of Arvid's etc etc guards are alerted
- Threw the dust of disappearance, have 5 minutes of invisibility.
- Ran to the window
- A goddamn Tressym - a winged cat that can see invisibility - was chilling
- Thankfully its still a cat
- Vora made noise when she dropped
- Guards alerted. Vora's cloak blew and they knew she was there
- Combat time.
- We kill them but made a lot of noise
- Oh no
