Ace-human rouge

Ryai- Elf Spellblade

Konguq - human wizard

Vodren-Human Cleric

Amethyst- dwarf fighter

Billie- Human Barbarian NPC

In a huge mess of fog, the guard begins to attack. Otik, the Innkeeper, tells the guard to keep it clean and not kill the group. The party tries to scatter from the fog to get to their weapons. Patrons of the Trough Tavern storm the bar to help distract the other guards.

 

Konguq manages to get to the kitchen, and with Tikka's help, she gets up the stairs with little issues. Ace climbs up the side rail, and Vodren, Amethyst, and Ryai take up the rope that Onsen left for them. In addition, Onsen managed to get the party most of their weapons back. Billie kept up the rear guard, going head-to-head with Oroana. Ace tosses a dagger at Oroana's head before they escape. It bounces off her helmet, and the elven woman grins at Ace, now having it out for him.

Onsen gets the group out of the Inn, and they spend the night in a tree bolthole. The next morning, they receive the news Billie is in the Gallows and other allies like Allon, Tika, and Rigny are imprisoned.

 

Not wanting to leave Billie to die to save them, the party devises a timeline to save her from her fate.

The timeline is as follows

 

  • Market day- Billie is imprisoned in a cage above the town square. Market day is the day the party receives the news. We needed to be there today to plan anything.
  • Holy Day - also held in the town square. The seekers plan to use Billie as an example for their sermons.
  • Execution day- the day Billie is to be executed

 

The party decided that if they were going to be successful, they needed to do it on Holy Day. Coming up with a plan to get an animal distraction from Vodren to distract the guard in the square that day, the rest of the group goes to cash in their favor with Mayor Branton Reese.

 

The majority that stayed behind are being shuffled around by Onsen's group, the Branch Racers. The guards, being prepared for something like this to occur, have been doing irregular sweeps of the city. Onsen takes them to meet Lady Loreena to get closer to the mayor.

 

Once there, she offers to assist in exchange for the charm potion Vodren has to use on the mayor for her own personal gain. They are given a distraction and then can meet with the Mayor.

The party meets with the Mayor to cash in their favor for settling the dispute with Jasper and Billie. He admits he can’t do much to sway the seekers, but Branton gives the party samples of High Seeker Hendrick's writing so that the party may forge his letters and frame him of misdoings, having him lose favor with the town.

Before they leave, Ryai asks to talk privately with the mayor about something.

 

Vodren sneaks to the edge of town and finds the hobgoblin siblings again. Torra wakes her drugged brother Vorlo, and he offers to take Vodren deeper into the woods to find animals to commune and convince can help.
