Session Summary[edit source]
Synopsis[edit source]
The party starts another tavern brawl after Aldran bashes down the door to a private meeting room
This Session[edit source]
Where'd the dwarves go?
As the party settles in for a quick round of drinks they inquire about the dwarven patrons "doings". Anya says they keep to themselves, tip well, and take their beers and meals in the small private room while they conduct their business with the local sailors. They discuss their plans to clean out the dwarven mines with Anya and Aldran states its about time they got to enjoy "an honest wage for honest violence" and proceeds to introduce himself to the dwarves.
I hear you knocking
Aldran bangs on the door to the private room until the guards open it enough to exchange "pleasantries" before telling Aldran they'll be done shortly. After a few minutes wait Aldarn decides enough time has passed and makes quite a spectacle in the bar as he kicks in the door. He sees a door to the outside swinging wildly and rushes across the room and exits the tavern his eyes adjusting to the early dusk light to catch a glimpse of five figures running towards the Sharkfin Bridge that leads to the heart of Corgelia. Nail and Egon rush through the smashed doorway where Aldran disappeared into the private room to find it empty with the door to the outside left swinging open and no sign of ALdran. Balmaris and Durmen discreetly begin preparing spells while Ricfire begins moving back from the table as some patrons begin to raise a ruckus about the smashed door.
Just let me fix the damn door!
Durmen yells out "I can fix this" and quickly starts casting mend on the door in the hopes that will diffuse the situation. Anya angrily yells out for Aldran (who remains out of sight) to come hither as Egon makes multiple attempts to calm the crowd now moving with haste towards Durmen who is still trying to complete his mend spell. The superstitious sailors will have none of it and within seconds the first sailor swings a drunken fist at Durmen and misses wildly. Nail and quickly Egon step back into the main room to protect Durmen and along with Ricfire begin trading punches with the sailors.
Aldran returns
Having lost sight of his prey and hearing the growing commotion from inside the tavern Aldran's rage gets the better of him. He runs back into the main room of the bar and begins brawling with the patrons. One of the patrons draws a dagger and more blades begin to flash, Balmaris "commands" A;dran to "flee" the barbarians' brow briefly wrinkles up with confusion before the spell takes full effect and he bolts back outside. The party remains fully engaged in fist-to-cuffs with five sailors while two lie dead on the floor, the poor wretches skulls caved in by Aldaran and Nail's blows. With Aldran outside Anya manages to get her patrons under control and both stop fighting to stare at each other.
Gimme some sugar baby
Anya tells her girls to loot the bodies and put all the gold on the bar as someone has to pay for the repairs and square this mess up before Constable Halvor Ironfist and his men arrive. She glowers at the party as the girls deposit a paltry amount of coin on the bar. Aldran returns somewhat sheepishly as the spell effect fades but the sight of his current love interest taking such a dominate stance reinvigorates his desire for her. Grabbing her roughly but affectionately about the waist he tries to smooth over the whole event with some barbarian pillow talk that has the complete opposite effect (crit fail) and she loudly demands the party come up with the difference in gold. - Now! Alrdran pins her to the bar and tells her to stand down her patrons.
Lets get it on!
The party looks at each other an in an instant they decide they wont be extorted and refuse to pay. Balmaris initially tries to snipe Anya with a guiding bolt spell but Aldran is unknowingly blocking his shot. As he moves closer to use inflict wounds on Anya one of the sailors tries to stab him. Durmen attacks the sailor with ice knife in defense of Balmaris but in his haste the spell fails badly and streaks across the room hitting one of the pirate captains who was watching from the shadows. The angry pirate and his crew leap to their feet and charge across the room drawing their blades, this next battle will be fought to the death.
Flee you fools!
The tavern crowds in Coregila are clearly rougher than they expected. Seeing they will be overwhelmed by nearly a dozen patrons with swords and being close to door with a busy day tomorrow an early nights rest is suddenly quite appealing. Nail shields Durmen from multiple club attacks as he heads out the door and drops two attackers in the process. Ricfire covers Balmaris as he evades being tackled by the surging crowd. Aldran plants one last kiss on Anya vowing to return sometime as he and Ricfire withdraw through the door.
Egon uses his halo of spores spell to good effect as he wards the entire area by the doorway and bar to dissuade their pursuit. The less sensible patrons go down choking as they follow the party but the majority of the crowd stays behind as they party heads into town.
Where's the damn boat?
As they run towards Sharkfin Bridge shouting out get to the boat! Egon belatedly points out Hvitserk departed that morning and any thought of quick escape by sea now seems unlikely. Pausing a moment to catch their breath they can hear the toll of a ships bell in Procans Temple sounding out an alarm. Thinking its for them they quickly realize there are bigger problems to deal with - five or more large flaming boulders arc across the sky and crash down into the wharf and residential areas near the shore. A few hundred yards off shore a small flotilla of ships barely visible but for the flickering fires on deck indicating a second volley is being prepared. Somewhat stunned by the sudden turn of events the party debates their next course of action...
