The One (or two or three) Who Got Away, part five in a continuing series --

The good:
* Fireballs are goddamned impressive
* Verx and Dagos are dealing out a *lot* of damage.
* We rescued the girl.
* We did at least knock out one local to question later.
* We killed Big Stinky.
 
The bad:
* When the party wants to capture a leader, we have an abysmal record.
* When the elf runs off to give chase to a party leader, the whole party apparently falls apart.
* Turns out, where we entered the room was a choke point we abdicated.
 
The ugly:
* We interrupted a death sex ceremony
* We intercepted a noble woman (Melancha) who was possibly drugged/suggested/aroused at the scene, who would like everyone to forget that we even saw her.
* Turns out, rescuing girls makes human males puff out their chests in some weird mocking ritual that I can't imagine the females would be attracted to, but what do I know about humans?
* I got attacked by a goddamned carpet. Which, despite the damage that had to be done to keep it from smothering me to death, I'm keeping.
 
The end:
* Pretty stoked about some of the clues we found, especially since they have names attached that we can inquire about and follow up on.
* Going to make a hard case again to talk about how the Kobolds were key to the rescue, and take some heat off that community.
