11 June 2018 Session

Bob Donovan's player was not present, so I handled Donovan in his place.

We started with Breccia infiltrating the mayor's mansion. She stumbled on Seizha in the mayor's bedroom cleaning, but mostly managed to play it off, although she did wind up (unsuccessfully) trying to help the maid clean. She found a locked drawer in his study, and managed to unlock it - thereby setting off the trap and getting injured. She eventually found evidence confirming Mayor Rajad was not Nadab, but did associate with him. Unfortunately, that was when Ismail the butler arrived and stabbed her in the back, knocking her unconscious and kidnapping her.

Meanwhile, at the tournament, only Nijaat advanced to the third round, with Morbash losing a very close fight with KaRynn and Val losing to Bashir. Nijaat lost in a single round to KaRynn in the next fight, and KaRynn proceeded to win the entire thing, and even defeat the mayor's champion, Havla, in the exhibition match. Just as celebrations began, however, a guard came up to KaRynn, causing her to frown and approach Nijaat and the others, asking them to accompany her. She then said one of her men had been scoping out the mayor's house, and had seen Breccia get hauled off. They figured out the connection between Nadab and a local pawn shop called The Lion's Pride, and searched that shop for more evidence. They found a map leading them to an old temple of the Radiant Queen's. Oh, and Morbash freaked out a bunch of people by basically breaking down the door and saying, "We're the good guys! Everyone back off!"

Before they could go talk to KaRynn about it, however, a ruckus occurred not too far away, and a leonine figure carrying an unconscious blonde girl took off into the darkness.

Back to Breccia; she woke up in a cell, was offered dinner, and tried to have a spat with Israim, who seemed amused by the whole thing.

Eventually, the party, currently Donovan, Nijaat, Morbash, Val, and Amael, headed out and arrived at the temple, which was crawling with gnolls. They tried to sneak in, with a couple of close calls before they finally gave themselves away. They fought off four gnolls (2 killed by Nijaat, 1 by Morbash and 1 by Val - Morbash killed his by bashing two gnoll heads together) and got inside, but they'd made their presence known. Morbash knocked the door to the hallway open, and tried to repeat the process on a couple other doors unsuccessfully.

At one door, Val heard two voices, but when they went in, they found a woman (Clera) by herself. They began asking questions - about the gnolls, where Breccia was, etc. As Clera was responding, Val got frustrated and tried to take her hostage, where she revealed herself to be a werelion, clawing and biting him (he made his Con save, though). Morbash was able to talk her down, but Israim revealed himself, and 3 gnolls began rounding the corner, and I ended the session there.

It is around midnight between the 15th and 16th of May. Nijaat has 5 kills, and Morbash and Val both have one kill.
