Two Fiends and a Firbolg

by Aldrich Runecarver

We gathered in a room in the Graymare Inn, but before Bevil could ask his questions we heard a noise upstairs. It sounded like someone was talking. Bevil seemed disturbed and asked Mirielle and Zarruk to investigate while he checked the wards. He commanded me to stay and wait for him, and magically bound my hands to the table. He also gave Mirielle and Zarruk magic eye stones which he said could be used to get in touch with him.
 
Zarruk and Mirielle went upstairs. The hallway was ice cold, and all the doors were locked. They continued to search and eventually found the source of the voices. Two females were in a room at the end of a hall. Listening in on the conversation, they were discussing the prospect of eating a Gith. Zarruk was obviously disturbed by this.
 
After waiting for a time, I decided my friends needed my help more than I needed to obey Bevil, so I broke the table and released my bonds to it (although my hands were still bound together) and headed upstairs to join them. They explained what they had heard, and I decided to confront the situation head on by announcing our arrival and saying we had brought the Gith.
 
Meanwhile, they were holding a Firbolg captive and unconscious in their room. He woke up while the two women were discussing what to do. Not fully understanding the situation, he decided to strike up a conversation with the women. It took a definite suggestive turn, and seemed like one of the women was about to have some kind of romantic interlude with the Firbolg, while the other entered the hallway we were waiting in.
 
The woman teleported right beside me; Divine Sense revealed that she was a fiend, so I attacked. I managed to land a hit, but after that she went invisible. Combat ensued, and though difficult to locate the invisible fiend, Mirielle was able to slay one through a use of Hunter's mark, and we managed to subdue the other one. We learned that the women were called Jillia and Camilla, but learned nothing about them or their intent in coming here before they were killed.
 
The Firbolg was named Dru, and seems very new to the world and somewhat naive. He made a good account of himself during the fight however, and could make a good addition to our little band.
