Chapter 1: Verse 2: "On the first night of Kingmaker, our GM gave to me" Report
General Summary
After a lovely feast and geting to meet new people, some great and one not-so-great - The party went off to bed in the provided bedchambers where they continued to become acquainted with one another. As they prepared for bed and said their goodnights, the lights went dim and they began to rest.
Around 3am, cries and shouts of intruders woke the party from their sleep and they awoke to find the mansion under attack from the Black Tears, a mercenary group that was hired to apparently sneak in and kill the would-be-adventurers and mercenaries summoned by Lady Jamandi. The party sprung into action and got ready to launch a counter strike the the group currently going through the rooms near them. The two forces met and the party proved victorious against the first wave. The party left their room and found that this was not so much a silent killing mission but a massacre as blood and corpses were found in most of the rooms and the guards laid dead in pools of their own blood in the halls they were protecting, this included good-hearted guardsman Timothy who escorted the party to their chambers the night before.
The party made their way through the east wing dispatching other Black Tear cutthroats as well as trying to search for any survivors. Amongst their searching they've found a few items of use that they took including some health potions that seemed to be stored in a first aid kit of sorts in a storage room. One of the survivors the party rescued included Linzi who was hiding in a library from a ogre. Linzi took initiative to at least blind the ogre with her skills but needed help in order to take down the beast. It's defeat was quick and Linzi was rescued, she tagged along with the party for the time being. In the kitchen area, a new combatant was found named Jurgrindor, who looked worn out and badly hurt from his fighting with the guards and other would-be adventurers. He stood to face his new opponents but did not lunge into a full aggressive attack and the two sides talked. With some group persuasion and some payment by Tav, the frost giant became hired under a new contract and found himself now ordered to attack no one else and if anything, to get out of the mansion. He informed the party that he had some other prisoners in the pantry and that they were still alive somehow, which lead to the rescuing and healing of Amiri, Valerie, and Harrim. With that, the rescued individuals took back to their room to fortify and barricade themselves in while the party can continue their efforts to help the rest of the mansion. The party found an emergency passage via a secret door that seems to lead to a privy in the Great Hall, with that they went forward in hopes to find more survivors, Lady Jamandi, and bring an end to this vicious attack.
