Session 6

by Assistant Archivist Rhodri Windcrow

We confronted Nina about the wings. She seems conflicted and somewhat remorseful. Someone brought up the idea of stealing the wings, though i think that might be risking a bit too much, and is a bit of a moot point as the owner is already dead and gone. We doubled back to the guardsman that we rescued for info on the lab we heard about, thinking that the missing brother might be kept within. After learning it was under one of the stables connected to the Luskan arms, we scouted it out and Elodiel shifted into a small animal to get inside and unlock the door for us. Venturing in we made our way quietly to a hidden trap door in the back and descended into a cellar.
 
Unfortunately we were not the most quiet and drew the attention of one of the guards below, some mercenary group. Thankfully they didn't immediately attack, Evelynn used me as a distraction as the others hid and she convinced the guard to take her back to Scath. The rest of the group used this moment to ambush the guard after he told the others to go back to their card game and we were able to knock him out. Venturing deeper in, sneaking past the guard room we eventually found some sort of torture chamber with a woman being held within, covered in a mask.
 
We heard the approach of another guard and slipped into another room, one somehow hidden with an illusion. Venturing deeper in we came across some sort of dark chapel after following a ghost through another wall. Checking the rooms attached we seemed to wake up a horde of zombies, so we beat a hasty retreat.
 
When we came back through the guards were missing. So the others went in to collect the prisoner while i kept watch, apparently they said something about a charm effect and the fact that the prisoner seemingly changes shape based on whoever looks at them. I've so far avoided this effect and we've put a mask on them until we can figure out what is causing the change. We quickly escaped, very surprised we didn't run into Scath on the way out, believing him to be waiting for us at the way in and out of town, we decided to cross the frozen lake and make our way back to Bryn Shander.
 
I left Whul behind to deliver an apology to Sal for breaking our date. We went to the speaker to report what we had found about the potions from Targos. They seem to be at least disgusted by the means of their creation, so they won't spread the practice or take part in the sales of these potions. Going to take Grigor out to get a drink after he got some shade thrown at him for taking off the mask and making the shape shifter into a second Evelyn.
