Session 18 (Vanedir)
The gang breaks into Mahala's room in response to her call to help, to see her disappear with the stranger, seemingly calm.
We see a middle-aged halfling, in fine clothing, with a leather cloak, white shirt, sleeveless jacket
Holster, polished brass horn on his hip
He knocks on the door to Mahala's room, asking what's happened.
We explain
The proprietor runs down, asking what's happened
We explain
He heads back to sleep with his wife
B'Rock tosses a bed through the wall, then hides in some bedsheets
Proprietor comes running again
Can't find him
The halfling is angry, demands a refund
King Karen
The proprietor leaves again
Durnivir beats him into his room, sleepwalking, sees things, leaves
Goes downstairs and drinks the entire tavern out of ale
Drinks 82 litres
The Proprietor comes down the next morning, sees Durnivir, writes down the tab, sends a crow to Gralys.
B'Rock comes down, is immediately captured by the Proprietor and interrogated about the second destroyed wall
He spews word vomit, confuses the proprietor, jumps out the window and leaves
Durnivir wakes up, is immediately cut off and given food.
The party speaks with the halfling (Hoffee), and he'll join us dealing with the sewer dwellers
B'Rock is curled up outside Gralys' house
Talk with Gralys
Intend to leave him with some loot to sell for us, and a Griffon egg.
5x Hand crossbow
5x Shortsword
He gives us 2 potions of healing each.
B'Rock had gone to find a scribe
He finds a deaf tabaxi that helps him write a letter to old pete to tell him about mahala's disappearance
Gets robbed of a gold
Sends it via another tortle he's at odds with for their daring to be clean
Gets Leo's armour
The party heads to the manhole cover to begin the raid
B'Rock heads back to Gralys to find the party
Katerina heads to the armoury to find B'Rock
They miss each other
The party stakes out the manhole cover while waiting for the others to show up
Nothing is seen
Gang finally back together after a couple of hours of waiting
Try to stealth into the manhole
Nat 1 stealth in half-plate gg
B'Rock finds some railroad tracks that Katerina quickly takes credit for and we follow them
B'Rock spots some traps
He decides it's not a trap and walks into it
Slips in some oil, a fire erupts on the oil
Katerina also gets fired
Shit is now on fire, literally
Con saves for the group, very stinky
We continue, now with Katerina leading the party and looking for traps
We end up at a dead-end
Durnivir runs head first at the wall, thinking it's an illusion
It's not, he bounces off
He runs at it again deliberately, breaks down the wall
As we enter a tunnel, there's an automated cleaning procedure
At the end of the tunnel is a huge chamber, 200+ft diameter
13 other tunnels, 14 in total along the sides of the chamber
We see movement
Rats, swarms of rats, and two people
We enter initiative
One of the men turns ratlike
We fight a little bit, then end the session
