Session 15: ...And Your Enemies Closer Report

General Summary

Recap: Sam attempted to run away with the orb, but the party was able to prevent her from doing so. Wanting to resolve this issue as cleanly as possible, the rest of the party went back to Defender Figwell to deliver the Orb. Right as they were about to hand it off, merrow sprung from the riverside, with some of them even flying in the rain. The fight eventually resulted in Lia having a brush with death, and the Orb being lost to the river; presumable taken by the merrow. In this defeat, Lia lashed out at Sam, slapping her for not providing aid when she was injured. Sam rushed off, with Erika and Tadrel doing their best to clean up the situation.   Defender Figwell doesn't explain much about what she knows of the Orb, just that she believes it's an artifact part of a set called "The Eyes of the Merrow." She implores the party to leave for their mission as soon as possible, in part to clear the air, but also to prevent them from catching any suspicion.   The local guard arrive on the scene, led by their captain, and coincidentally Tadrel's uncle, Geoff Ward. After assuring the safety of the situation, Geoff gets curious about Tadrel's newfound companions, and along with the surrounding guards, gets bemused by the group moniker that Lia proclaimed, "The Dazzling Journeymen." Regardless, most of the party went for rest, with Tadrel having a brief drink with his uncle. Everyone went to bed, hoping to move on from such a horrible day. In the morning, it was clear that it was in everyone's best interest if the party left immediately.
