Session 7 - Friend of the King

by Kaito "Oreson" Brinejaw

Looking around the dark room we found ourselves caged up. There are 4 cages in total in this room, with 2 of the cages containing something as we saw movement in them.
 
Woman standing in front of our cage is a dark black skinned woman, thick rough hair tied up in a bun with sharp amber eyes. Standing at around 5ft 11", human looking and well built with a large great-sword on her back. Said she was impressed we hadn't pissed ourselves and that we must have pissed him off. She didn't elaborate on who she was talking about when we asked who.
 
She left the room and a large man in amour and a great-axe takes over watching us, he was the same man that took Malaphor and I down in the tavern the night before.
 
We noticed the cage is fairly well made with only a small amount of rust on it. While Ape, Malaphor, Raskin and myself tried to come up with a plan to break the lock of the cage to get out, Austar woke up and suggested he could cast a spell to get the guard to let us out. He cast Suggestion and asked the man to give us the keys to the cage and to sit back down at the desk and chill.
 
We let ourselves out of the cage and checked on the others, which we found out had a large tiger in one, and a large wolf in the other. There were big iron doors to our right, which when we looked through the keyhole, had a blue hue to the room and some shelves with crates on them. We unlocked the door with the keys we were given and found our equipment there, as well as a strange stone archway that looked older than the surrounding room itself, there was also a pedestal to the right of it at at around waist height with a runic symbol inside the bowl.
When identifying the pedestal, we discovered it was a Runic Ignition Bowl which was conjuration school of magic focused. Raskin then found a pebble with a matching symbol to the ignition bowl.
 
Ape, Raskin and Austar snuck their way up the stairs, and after a short battle, killed the dark skinned woman in what seemed to be her office. Austar came back and Malaphor and myself then made our way up the stairs to convene with the rest of the team.
 
Raskin started mimicking the ladies voice to let the others know it's all ok when one of the guards knocked at the door and asked if everything was ok.
We decide to go back downstairs to deal with the big guy. After killing him, we dragged his body back upstairs, and let the tiger loose in the one of the cages and hide in the initial room. Raskin mimics the ladies voice again and shouts for assistance downstairs luring them to fight the tiger. We make our way out into fresh air and we're thankfully still in Pentareach. We lock the door behind us and head out.
 
The outside of the building looks like a warehouse in the Workers District. Wall on our left behind us which is the city wall near one of the towers. To the right is a large thoroughfare which leads to a more populated part of the district.
 
We made our way back to Lucinda Marguant, and informed her that we had planned to go to Blacktop in the morning, but we were ambushed at night. Told her we woke up in cages and mentioned Alistan Preen was involved and his name was mentioned by our captors. Lucinda mentioned Alistan Preen has a lot of pull within the upper government of Laelos, and told us he is a childhood friend of King Fergun the 2nd...
