Session 7: The Caged Bird Report
General Summary
Recap:
- Wren and Eleonora, who weren't present for the meeting with Baron Oelrich, run into each other at home, and decide to go looking for the party since they aren't back yet. Unsure of where they might have gone off to, they settle on trying to ask Meta and Jhin for escort to the Oelrich Estate.
- They convince Meta to help them to the estate, but run into Rainer on the way, who explains what happened at the Oelrich Estate.
- Meta reluctantly accepts the party's plan to break out Celrin, but she won't participate in the affair.
- The party reaches the estate, with Rainer splitting off to find Celrin, and Eleonora and Wren trying a more deceptive approach.
- When Eleonora and Wren are inside the building, moving to have an impromptu audience with the Baron, they see Celrin and two others stealthily breaking out on their own.
- Eventually Celrin discovers Rainer, but her groups cover is nearly blown, leading her to having to kill a guard.
- Suspicions rise in Wren and Eleonora's meeting with Oelrich, and eventually their cover is blown, the whole manor going on high alert.
- Baron Oelrich rushes out of the premises, and the two groups try to find a way out before they're caught and arrested.
- Celrin, Rainer, and one of their new compatriots (who's named Nora) escape through a chimney, while Eleonora and Wren take an opportunity where not many guards are near them to rush out; magically knocking all guards they encounter unconscious.
- On the way out, Celrin, Rainer, and Nora kill two more guards to cover their escape, and everyone swims off the island.
- Back at the house, everyone's exhausted and relaxes before going to sleep.
- At some point during the night, everyone has a flash of the image of a forest in their head. After the image, the marks on their faces burn in pain.
Character(s) interacted with
Nora: An adjacent prison inmate Celrin met in her time below the Oelrich Manor. Nora is a cheerful female drow, wearing an oddly colored purple and black leather body suit, with trails of green trim along the edges of the leather. Nora's often very quiet, but when she does talk, she is extremely friendly and energetic. Besides her personality, it's very clear that Nora is extremely skilled in stealth, subterfuge, and combat, being able to have broken out by her self at any point of her imprisonment. It also appears that she may have a direct political affiliation in the Ertsland Valley. Demonia: Another prisoner within Baron Oelrich's dungeon, Demonia is a Lessian woman with a bit more of a distant personality. She seemed unsure of the party, and decided to break off on her own to escape when Celrin decided to try to go back for the other members; stating that she'd meet Celrin later, after they all escape. It also seemed like Demonia was a bit of a professional in the stealth department, save for her blunder that forced Celrin to kill a guard.
