so aundair was still mad that we helped a brelish agent kidnap emmer sykes
pretty much the moment we stepped off the teleportation circle the local watch were ready to take us into custody
i probably would have panicked and possibly would have made things much worse if i didn't know these things for certain
1: i was with my friends and most of all medya
2: we had the letters of commendation along with a contact in case of trouble
however i was not prepared for the boredom of staring at the plain grey walls of an aundairan jail for an hour
and especially not the 3 additional hours we sat there waiting
(glad i watered the flowers before we teleported!)
eventually senna redeker showed up wanting to know why we were present while jorlanna was meeting with sykes so i showed her the letter of commendation which explained the important points
and then we were free to go!
so glad that worked
before we left she asked if we knew where dowser or his crew were
gwyr – the one who stole the prototype skillshare – was murdered in what redeker called "some sort of fiendish sacrifice" which i probably don't want to know more about
she showed us a note found on the desk next to them and the contents didn't make sense but the lettering was familiar
especially the signature of a large "r"
so we explained why raelvan's words shouldn't be trusted
and that was that
we went directly from there to cannith west (and we didn't even stop for lunch! good thing medya packed snacks)
morran was there but he was a scattered mess
he explained that he'd barely slept because palor had gathered with several associates in one of the laboratories and they were doing ... something
he said after that jorlanna started acting very erratically and also very defensive of palor and his "guests"
so we went to her office together
morran knocked and said that palor and company were no longer welcome
she opened and shouted at him like she was insulted and angry ... but she looked more like she was terrified instead
zer' detected a strong geas that kept her from speaking against palor
bell asked if we should "help her friends in the lab" and she nodded just a little – all she could manage against the geas
so we're going to find meledri and ask her help to deal with jorlanna's fiends in the lab
