† Back into the Fire
General Summary
Deep into the night, the party discussed options to get back into the city. Gourm and Caldwell recognized their brief stint in the town had been an eventful one and would need disguises to return. Talks of staying behind, climbing walls, or even hiding Besella within Caldwell's vitraxine-laden chainmail to find the hidden stash of items wherever they may be.
Ultimately, the party rested after landing on a plan. The next morning, Caldwell gathered his disguise kit brushing makeup and finding thick clothing to hide telltale marks that could make him and Gourm recognizable. Then he turned his brush to the vitraxine dulling the sheen and attempting to reduce the visual effects to that of mundane armor and weaponry. All of this was done with the help of Besella who, with her knowledge of the Oiled Hand, was begrudgingly able to augment their disguises with the mark of the bandits. Meanwhile, Stela took on the guise of a prisoner in the hopes of convincing the guards that they had found the conrasu the Volskra had been searching for.
They headed into town where they were initially stopped by the guards. Besella was able to convince them to take the party into the city, but not without first finding that not all the guards do not know the Volskra are driving their current operation. They followed the guard through the city, but once Besella realized they were being taken directly to the general Roki himself, she convinced the guard to lead them to the prison where they could place the dangerous Stela somewhere safe. Outside the prison, a haphazardly raised fencing was being used to hold significantly more prisoners than cells were available for.
Upon entering the prison, Stela felt the familiar heartbeat of one of their close friends from home: Arthus. In the cell with him was another individual, that was more stone-like than his oread form.
