Urbs Magna IV: From Darkness into Light Report

When we last left our intrepid party they had silently laid out the guard at his post and dressed Asbjørn Þórsteinnsson in his guard garb. They moved past the steps leading into the arena, Alexandru Croitoru padding silently ahead and the party catching up as he found it deserted. They came to a t-junction where Theo caught the unmistakable scent of a kennel and directed them south and east. The Vagabundi found a locked gate and debated and Kegho confirmed that Ükhilflin was inside but could not get her to come to the bars. They debated greasing the Oameni and slipping him through the bars. Eventually the two barbarians combined forces to bend the bars and slip in where they found a group of mildly peevish mountain lions who were quickly distracted by gifts of fish and squid. Alex slipped around the wall toward Miniho’s cage and was tailed by one of the cats, but not attacked. He flipped the latch and Miniho sprang free. The cats caused them no harm as they made a confident but rapid retreat from the kennel.

The group hoped to recover their possessions and Brother Theophilus became concerned that an untimely escape would make them oathbreakers to the Order of the Gladius. The party had less time to debate the morality of their actions when Kegho rounded a corner and stumbled on a guard stumbling upon the guard they’d killed not long before. Miniho dispatched this one, indulging in her secret love of the crunching of the hyoid as she tore his throat out gleefully. Keg dressed in this guard’s garb and they began releasing prisoners to sow chaos.

As they came to the second door a group of guards, roused by the ruckus came upon them grievously wounding Teleptyon Marathonos who was shaken by the ordeal but was in no way close to becoming a eunuch. And striking Asbjørn who flew into a rage, as well as Kegho and and Miniho, each of whom systematically caused permanent pulmonological impairment to the guards which eventually led to the cessation of life. Theo swept in praising Maya and bringing folks back from the brink, especially Teleptyon who was doing very poorly and had run out of ways to void himself. Asbjørn was able to successfully calm himself and did not begin cleaving his new-found friends. With the guards dead, and the whole city alerted, the party was left with some critical decisions and a surprisingly solid set of supplies to choose from.
