Session 9 Report

General Summary

The party is still drinking with the dwarves. Kat and Centurion go to the bank to scope it out. They find a trap on the door and decide to case the building. They find a window in an alley and stealthily take the boards off of it. Centurion shoots an arrow through the window and it shatters. They hear people inside the building. They retreat to observe and hear people come to the window. They hatch a plan to act as if they were chasing people trying to break in. Kat shouts into the window "We've got the place surrounded. Come out with your hands up." and the people say "oh, shit". They jump into the bank and start chasing the individuals to the vault. Centurion uses magic to open the vault and notices it's empty. He detects magic and notes a lingering magic of conjuration. They escape the bank through the same window and board it up. They get caught boarding up the window by two women. They give chase, Centurion draws his bow, Kat argues to put it away, the women scream for the guards, and Kat breaks away to hide. Centurion keeps chase and eventually the women come across two guards. Centurion casually approaches and claims that he thinks the women broke into the bank. They deny it and say he broke into the bank and chased them down with a weapon. The guards take him to the guardhouse and explain the situation to Captain Servann, where Centurion lies to him about breaking into the bank and mentions that there was another person with him. He doesn't say who, but makes it obvious he's lying to Captain Servann, so he puts him in a jail cell with the hidden vulpine (Tarxi). Centurion then begins to talk to and interrogate Tarxi with magic to seek answers to surface thoughts. Kith, who was in the guardhouse the whole time, leaves the guardhouse and goes to hide outside the east side of the town, watching the mountains.   Kat finds Goodman and Kazrik at the dwarven hall still drinking with the dwarves. She sits to drink with them and play music, eventually telling them of Centurion chasing after two women and getting arrested. Goodman and Kazrik then go to the guardhouse to see Centurion. Kat takes the chance to find a quiet place to magically disguise herself as an older pudgy man and travels out to the east of the town to search for Kith, who he soon finds. They decide to sleep for a few hours so that they can scout out the mountain during the night. Kazrik and Goodman arrive at the guardhouse and talk to Captain Servann, who tells them about Centurion being arrested for allegedly breaking into the bank and chasing down two women with a weapon. They convince Captain Servann to let Centurion go if he pays 1gp, Goodman punches him in the face, and he's never left alone in the town ever again. Tarxi at that point realises Centurion is using magic to interrogate him and lunges at Centurion, attacking him. The guards open the cell and Goodman and Kazrik bust through them and pin Tarxi to the wall. They try to convince Captain Servann to let them use a spell that will harm Tarxi but he refuses. Goodman instead intimidates Tarxi into revealing he is actually vulpine, but he stays in human form and gives them only tiny bits of information. Goodman headbutts him in the face and they leave. Captain Servann apologises after he realises the party was telling the truth about him being a vulpine, and he thanks them for their efforts. They release Centurion from the jail cell and punch him in the face.   Goodman, Kazrik, and Centurion head east and meet back up with Kat and Kith. They discuss what to do next and decide to go back to the dwarven hall to see the dwarves and get a dwarven battleaxe for Goodman. Kith stays behind to watch the east, where he sees a bit of movement to the east and decides to head into town where he warns the guards and find the rest of the party. He comes to the dwarven hall and yells up for Goodman. They party comes outside and he tells them about the movement as well. They decide to head out west to get a headstart for the meeting the undine. Kith wants to get a second look at the movement near the bridge and heads out northeast with Centurion to check it out. They see no movement from a distance and decide to go back to the party. They meet the party on the road west and decide to stay in the town for the night and head out in the morning. They then go back to the dwarven hall, except for Kith who decides to sit outside of the town and watch the road to the northeast.
