Session 12 - A Deal with the Freebooters

General Summary

Our Misfits settled down for the evening alongside the Red Fangs. Mercy congratulated Hamilton on his win, commenting he looked "strong".

Meanwhile, Tinheart pulled Sasha aside and confessed he had connections with the Densharr Tribe. He explained that he used to engage in deals with Sasha's father, Tashar. He had heard of the fall of the tribe, and offered something he had collected after the attack: a Densharr family knife. Sasha accepted it with gratitude.

After that, the party grouped up and snuck away to the SlawterHaus around midnight. As they entered and found it empty, they wandered to the back of the bar and were ambushed by members of the Freebooters! Blanche, their leader, quickly calmed everything down and reassured the party that the ambush was only a precaution. Blanche explained that she's been looking into The Order, and has come to find that Oscar Barnette might know something about the group. She offers the party a deal: she will tell them where Oscar is, and in exchange, they have to bring him back to the bar to be questioned. The party accepted.

With that, Blanche told them to meet her ally just south of Emmett tomorrow. And he'll be wearing a red hat. The next morning, Tinheart and the party headed back to the Killpit to see the results. To their surprise, all three of them had qualified for the Tournament of Emmett, and each of them had received 100 gold. They handed it all over to Tinheart, who was very grateful, and with his business concluded, he and the Red Fangs packed up and left.

The party made their way south of Emmett to meet Blanche's informant. They found a Zso man dressed finely, wearing a red hat. He introduced himself as Valentine and explained who the party would be up against. Oscar Barnette was being held captive by the Macabre Brothers, a pair of horrible bandits who live out in the Macabre Ranch. They were warned that the brothers are a dangerous duo, and so Hamilton was temporarily gifted a Culverin to assist the party in the coming fight.

The trio then embarked to the Macabre Ranch. They found mutilated bodies hanging from trees, heads on spikes, and a destroyed house and shed. They quickly discovered the shed had a hatch leading underground. They traveled through the narrow passage underground, until they reached a chamber at the bottom. Sitting on a bed in the center was none other than Oscar Barnette!

The party tried to speak with Oscar and rescue him quietly, but it quickly became clear that Oscar was in no way in danger. He alerted the brothers to the party's presence, and then out down the hall, the two brothers appeared, armed and ready to kill.
