Session 54: Casa Del Sol Naciente

General Summary

5 Kinds of Ugly

59th of Wintercrest 22nd year of the Second Era
Berfore bursting into the lair of the Hydra, Malcolm asked for Meara's last divine grenade and disguised himself as one of the fish folk, bringing in the grenade as an "offering." Zuko snuck in behind using his ring of invisibility.
Malcolm realized by the time he was halfway into the room that the floor was littered with half eaten fish folk, but he was already close enough to toss the grenade, and the attack took the Hydra by surprise. The Regulators managed to destroy the creature before it had a chance to fight back. However, as it was defeated, its eggs hatached and 7 hatchling hydras attacked the party.
When the last of them were defeated, they found the in floor sarcophagus that was likely the internment place of Ealswid Whitfoot. Meara lifted the lid and found the remains of Ealswid, as well as the second dagger: Cyuna's Heart. The weapon transformed into a longsword not unlike the ancient Hellige Riddere sword she already carried.

House of the Rising Sun

2nd of Spirende 22nd year of the Second Era
The Regulators made their way back to Laurum Sor, and several hours before arriving, Thradreg Duskchin contacted them on the vox caspa, informing them that Serenity had returned and he was spending some time at Casa Del Sol Naciente. The party agreed to meet him there. 
When they arrived at the run down pub, Malcolm chose another disguise and tried to play at intimidating Duskchin by claiming he was at his table. Duskchin, who turned out to not be an easy target for bullying, said, "I don't see your name on it," and stuck his dagger into the table, "But mine will be on your ass if you don't back off." Malcolm had just set his gun on the table as an intimidation tactic, but Duskchin recognized it and realized Malcolm was playing a prank on him. 
They joined him for a drink and informed him of their desire to rescue Malcolm's father and the basics of the plan so far. Duskchin was on board but pointed out that if Serenity was involved in any way it could never been seen in Rum Lin again. Zuko suggested purchasing a ship, using it for the getaway and crashing it nearby so the authorities will believe both Malcolm (percival) and his father died in their attempt to escape. 

Duskchin liked the plan but pointed out that it would be simpler to jsut steal a ship for their purpose. The party agreed to stealing a ship for the rescue as the plan is in progress. Duskchin also suggested hiring some people to attempt a theft somewhere else on the Hacienda de Dávalos, and let the plan for that heist reach Román Dávalos so he will direct his attention there. Malcolm remembered a non-discript storage shed that housed some of the more valuable commodities such as spices that would now be located near the back of the property but not on the very edge. They hired 30 people to do the heist, trusting that some of them would likely let the secret out. Malcolm tried but failed to identify an similar network of street kids that exists in Palhas City, but did manage to locate a memeber of the The Nightshifters who helped get the rumor to Roman in a verfiable manner. 
Zuko and Duskchin kept watch on the docks to identify a ship to steal on the night of the rescue, and foudn two suitable matches. They went with a relatively unarmed ship that was large and obvious but fast. 
The night of the rescue arrived and Zuko went with Duskchin to steal the ship, while Meara went with Malcom (disguised as his former self) to feign turning him in.
