Session 3
The following morning, the Party gathered in the dining area of The Godly Mice Inn. A moment later, Berga Dustbrook entered hurriedly, in search of the Party members. She told them that one of their members had been taken prisoner and was being held at Silverward Keep; she was set for execution the next day. The Party agreed to help, but at a price: a discount at Creti's Enchanted Emporium, 20 gold pieces, and Madeline Lada's missing necklace. Berga agreed and met up with the Party in front of Creti's a few minutes later.
At the store, Typhon negotiated sale of the necklace to Creti, in exchange for a map of the city's sewer network and 15 gold pieces. The Party then headed off for the nearest sewer entrance.
The Party arrived at the main storm drain in Silverward Keep and stealthily entered the main keep grounds. They were surrounded by large, heavy walls which blocked their view. Vigwalin turned into a rat and began scouting the area. He counted one prisoner, six guards, and one Drow man dressed all in black. Vigwalin snuck into the Drow's room, transformed into a boa constrictor and accidentally killed him. Vigwalin returned to the group with keys to free the prisoner and the Drow's ring, which Sir Didymus recognized as bearing the symbol of The Sovereign's Shadow, a shadowy organization answerable only to the king or queen themselves. Sir Didymus sneaked over to the prisoner's cage, releasing her, and almost made it back to the group when they were spotted by a guard. As the other guards rushed to help, one guard fired his crossbow, only to have it misfire and break. Bloodbane cleaved a guard in half with his battleaxe. The Party escaped back into the sewer tunnel right as the guards were descending on them. Before they could give chase, Typhon froze the sewage water into a giant block of solid ice!
The Party returned to the alleyway where they met Jencerys Paren the night before. There, they met with Berga Dustbrook and returned the prisoner to her group. After taking a look at the ring they brought back, Berga told them that it belongs to the Sovereign's Shadow, and that the Party should lay low for a while. The Party then returned to The Godly Mice Inn before departing...
