Episode 5: National Lampoons trip to Lauionet Report

General Summary

12-5-15Mi
  Our heroes began their Journey north as part of The Grand Caravan. Their Destination in 17 days; Lauionet. During their travels, they met many colourful characters, kindred spirits, drifters, vagabonds and adventurers. as they approached their destination, they were requested to assist another group of adventurers- The Order of the Rock- with recovering their mascot; an escaped sheep
  after using their noggins, and searching through the local woods alongside other scattered parties, they located the rogue sheep gnawing on a strange bush, which the team seemingly identified as some kind of druidic magic. they approached the sheep to free it from the brables, and were promptly beset by a Kipine.
  The group promptly slew and harvested the Kipine, keeping its antlers as a trophy, and selling its flight bone and wing leather for some small change. they returned the sheep safe and sound to the Adventurers, who thanked them by mail with an interestingly written post-script in a different handwriting to the rest of the letter, reading; "A debt made is a debt owed, and we are in debt to you, friends." The "Letter holder" as Xol described it, also contained a treasure map leading to a place in ilthar, and two Rings of Protection. THe caravan continued its journey, after a long night f drinking and merriment in celebration of an innocent sheep saved by two valiant heroes.
  The Caravan arrived at Lauionet, on Schedule, and the team began searching for options to get close to Lord Riffin Folcey, in order to enact their plan of persuasion. Donning a disguise as a foreign elf looking for "Exotic goods" asking around town, Duna quickly came in contact with Tegley Snich who offered them an exchange of information. revealing, seemingly openly that he is a fence and informant, and finding out the duo want to meet with Folcey, under the keyword espionage. Tegley offered a deal; for the party to conduct a heist on an expensive painting; Sadak in Search of the Waters of Oblivion. which would, conveniently, also place them in Folcey Manor to, in turn, meet with Lord Folcey himself. our newly inducted heisters agreed, and Tegley offered them a way into the walled city to try and get at least six snippets of info that he could use to organize the job: through the sewers.
  our team went through the sewers, and into the city at dusk, determined to lay low and finsd some info, they were beset by a small squad of patrolling soldiers, who proceeded to try and lock a disguised, and fake-drunk Duna up until he sobered. The party could not risk going to jail, and so fought back, Knocking out a guard initially, but later resorting to lethal action until finally, Robert Rapier, the last remaining guard, surrendered.
  Following a heated interrogation, with Duna threatening to kill the unconscious guard in front of Robert, the party learned that patrols run on the hour, every hour in the city, but little more; the fresh face 16 year old recruit was far too traumatized and junior rank to actually provide much substantial intel, duna then ordered the guard to meet him where the party had fought with more information in 24 hours before sending him away, tail between his legs. During this time, Ardenn and Xol were dutifully doing the enviable task of body disposal down the nearest manhole.
  THe party then moved into an abandoned apartment to rest for the night, neglecting a much needed trip to the local bathhouse to wash the permeating stench of the sewers off. and awoke the next morning to an active manhunt out for one male elf. it seems that Duna's threats to stay hush-hush did not guarantee success, but they did tick the box of betrayal for Robert.
  And few double-cross an angry Tiefling and come out unscarred.
