Session Summary
Synopsis
The party and their female companions make their way to the alchemist mansion outside of town.
This Session
The party makes their way past the tavern and follows a winding road along the west edge of town on their way to the north gate. Egon hears the sounds of a bard telling a story and the rummer of a crowd coming from a large walled manor house. Liza and Julia mention its a private dwelling known to host parties with excellent entertainment. At this Aldran grabs his dates by the hands and moves quickly to join the party.A s they approach the complex of buildings two guards step from the shadows barring entrance.
Party crashers - denied!
When asked by the guards who they area, Aldram stammers out "Bronan the barbarian" along with "Meatsack the wise" and their entourage. He attempts to bluff his way past the guards by saying they are on the guest list at which point one of which goes inside to check his claim. Shortly thereafter a well dressed bulter appears with all the haughtiness of a nobles butler says they cannot find their reservation, and to move along. Bronan intimidates the butler who says he'll check again, and after a few more minutes of impatient waiting Lord Solomor comes out flanked by two crossbowmen who remain hidden in the shadows.
Lord Solomor recognizes Liza and realizes this group is clearly not highborn if they are accompanied by ladies from the Empty Net Tavern. He assures them he will consider them for an audition (mistaking them for traveling entertainers) if they register their request through proper channels at the merchants guild during daytime. After engaging in some aristocratic verbal combat (AKA diplomatic insults) and nervous encouragement to "leave it be" from Durmen, Egon, and the ladies Broman, Meatscak and their entourage stomp off but not before Browman hacks a lugi on Solomors nice leather boot. Solomor fails to see or hear the lugi splat on him, but one of the junior guards gives Broman a quick smirk of approval before turning quickly to follow Solomor back inside the manor house.
The group continues their merrymaking and some time later arrive on the grounds of the alchemists house.
The girls earn their money
Liza takes advantage of the moment and runs off giggling toward the front of the house with Aldran in hot pursuit. She waits near the corner of the house and they begin making out.
Ricfire and Balmaris try to open the door but fail. Durmen attempts to open the door and is attacked by a rot grub. Skewers and kills it.
While the rest of the party looks for a way inside the house Egon and his date allow their natural instincts to take control. Egon initiates a a drudic mating ritual resembling a deer rutting as the rest of the group turns away in embarrassment to find an entrance.
Mending and entering
Durmen "mends" the exterior door handle and it open easily allowing the party entry into the hosue. Aldran, Durmen, and Egon begin exploring the ground floor while Balmaris and Ricfire head upstairs. The girls gather in a group at the entry foyer their anxiety growing.
Aldran kicks open the door to the library. Durmen takes three books form the library.
Meanwhile upstairs
Ricfire and Balmaris work their way down a hallway and find two rooms. The first has a floor that is clearly at risk of collapse and the move to the second room and discover a man bound and gagged lying on a cot. They enter the room and the floor collapses sending Ricfire falling to his death as the oaken beams crush him. Balmaris hangs on briefly before dropping to the floor below.
