Session 2: Loose Lips
General Summary
The group had a fantastic time drinking and talking, but eventually the night grew long and they decided to get some rest. Following (Tarzin home to rest, upon (Hiero's assurances it would be fine, found out quickly it was not fine. As the construct Alexa attacked and nearly killed Fim when she entered. Deciding it was best to find somewhere else to spend the night, the rest of the party split ways. Rusty staying in a tree in the city square, Fim & (Stegon heading to the an Inn near the town center, and Hiero heading back to the local @Cogsworth Club guild house. However along the way he ran into a little trouble, for as he was walking home Hiero heard the sound of steel against steel in an alley nearby. Out of concern or curiosity the large Tortle cautiously entered into the alley. And there he say 2 groups fighting each other. A group of 5 people of various heights and sizes attacking 3 elven people. The group of 5 were all wearing purple headbands and one of the elves had been cut down and laid dead on the cobblestone. In his hurriedness to see what was going on however, Hiero managed to crash through some boxes and draw everyone attention. In the moments pause of combat, the purple bands recovered first and caught one of the elves of guard, gutting him as he stood. The other one took off with 2 purple bands giving chase. Hiero, left alone with the remaining number, found himself set upon by them. Though putting up a brave fight, he ended up being taken down. Repeatedly stabbed in an alley. The following morning a severally hung over Tarzin found the entrance of his home a mess with blood. Groggily he remembered the sound of combat last night and seeing Alexa taking care of 3 small, assumingly, burglars. But he couldn't recall many details. However he was forced to try and remember some as a RKAF squad showed up banging on his door and asking where there were two dead children at his doorstep. Tarzin waited hours in his cell and longer still being interrogated by the station captain as pleaded his innocents. Alexa however had cleaned up the inside of the house so and evidence pointed to a drunken Tarzin ordering his construct to kill some vandal kids for breaking his window rather then a break in. For better or worse he was saved from prosecution by Hiero, who had been saved from death the night previous by a RKAF patrol and was being healed of his wounds at this station. While instilling the deadliness of this construct, Hiero did admit they had broke his friends window and Alexa had only attacked when entering the house. Freed from his chains Tarzin was allowed to go free but Alexa was not permitted any sort of weapons while within the city proper. Tarzin dragging Alexa's greatsword and Hiero holding his wounded stomach, the pair began to walk to Tarzin's home to decompress but before they could get even a block, a strange green light shot through buildings to the northwest from the center of the city. Eager to see where it came from they hurried off. Meanwhile in the center of the city several hours earlier, Fim woke up (Stegon and told him now would be a good time to ask Rusty questions. The effects of the magic alcohol should have worn off, meaning he should be incredibly drunk right now. The only reason she wasn't was she had drunk a little longer then Rusty and still had the magic flowing through her. Coaxing the garuda down from his hammock up in the tree, the pair promised him some breakfast so they could talk to him. While not being evasive on purpose, drunk is still drunk so the conversation swerved to many strange topics and Fim lying about being a garuda before the pair were able to stumble upon what they were wondering. Rusty showed them how to activate a special function of the @Star Compass. By putting a garuda feather in the top and turning the dial to the green orb the pointing arrow fires a constant green ray to something. Something, in this case, is the the north west. Hiero and Tarzin eventually followed this green light back to the group and, eventually, learned what was going on. Though no one could get a clear answer from (PC) Rusty what it lead to. Nevertheless, everyone was interested on what it could be so the packed their things and decided to find it. On their way to somewhere unknown and adventure galore, and just as Rusty's and Fim's respective hangovers began to kick in.
