Session 10
Innelen 28, Mityaradras
Sweltering, Drizzly, Moderately windy
After consulting with a helpful citizen of Cyfaraun, we head to the Plaza District to find a map and a place to stay inside the city. On the citizen's suggestion we look for an inn in the Old District where they have plumbing. After being laughed at by a rude map maker we give up on finding a map and start meandering to the Old District. Along the way we see a man who had caught a large catfish, to the applause of a small crowd around him. We ask around and head toward the middle of the three bridges and eventually find Myrdin's Bridge just beyond the imposing Ammonturium. We stop to look at the Ammonturium but Taliesin seems upset and wants to leave quickly. We cross the bridge which is a 100ft long, 25ft long white granite beam bridge. On the other side Taliesin ask a street urchin named Roben for directions to a brothel -2sp Taliesin. Roben leads us to a tavern called The Mink where Taliesin promptly hires all three whores -6sp Taliesin and pays for Roben to eat -2sp Taliesin. Taliesin comes down after a while and starts drinking with the whores -2GP Taliesin. Aurelia starts drinking with Taliesin but stops when she realizes Taliesin is drinking his feelings and the gang convinces him to leave. Roben, waking from his tryptophan slumber, leads us to The Gilded Lyre where there are rooms for 5sp/night. The inn keeper, Peristo is gracious and finds rooms for all of us -5sp All.
We head out to the baths. While we are walking through the street a bolt flies across the street in front of us and strikes someone nearby. We spot the assassin and quickly charge after him and slay him. On his person we find:
- Leather Armor
- Crossbow
- Sword and dagger
- 50ft rope
- Grappling hook
191 Poisoned crossbow bolts (18 are confiscated)- 10GP 20SP (2GP 4SP ea)
- File
- 200 XP 40 XP ea
Shortly afterwards the city watch arrives and we explain what occurred. They confiscate the poisoned bolts that Titania had collected from the assassin, but Aurelia keeps the bolt which had been shot at Hunter and missed. Aurelia finds a Red Skull on black insignia and covertly removes it from the assassin's armor - she does not tell the party about it. We ask where we can find more information out once they have investigated and are directed to the City Watch's headquarters, in the Old District near the Mink.
We finally get to the baths -2cp All. We do not meet anyone of note at the bath, and have a delightfully uneventful evening, getting rest before the first day of the festival.
