Sebrezal’s Betrayal

It was early morning when we were woken up by the manor being attacked, us being captured, and locked in a small room without our weapons. Great way to start a day after being attacked by bandits the previous day. We quickly broke out of the room and split up with Therion, Emelina, and I heading downstairs to find our gear. We also ended up finding two injured bandits and a dead Richard. We couldn’t question the injured bandits yet so we tied them up and headed back to the others. It seemed no one else was in the manor including Sebrezal.
 
We returned to the bandits and stabilized their health and began questioning them. Lyrellia cast some sort of spell to make them speak the truth and we learned that the group was the same one that attacked us in the street and was looking for their leader’s sister that Sebrezal captured. The full story is that Sebrezal sold stolen goods at a higher price, and this group stole the goods for him. When a job went south and they were captured, Sebrezal paid off the police but also kidnapped the sister and threatened them to keep working. After that and being underpaid, they attacked, we fought them, and they attacked the manor.
 
So it turned out we were on the wrong side the whole time. We were paid by a rotten businessman and lied to. I suggested we rob Sebrezal’s house, and it’s fair game after all; he lied to us and he should’ve mentioned he had a target on his back from people who were rightfully pissed off. I thought I had Kassian and Therion on my side but the others convinced them otherwise because apparently, they’re all too good for that sort of thing, I guess. It didn’t seem worth it to argue so I let it go. Besides, it’s not fun to rob a house when everyone else is a stick in the mud. After that, we decided to head to the Fire Flower Inn, where the bandits said their leader would be after we released them. Ma was there and led us to a private room and we talked it out with the leader, Ghona.
 
Things happened quickly after that and I can't remember anything other than the important stuff. Ghona told us that Sebrezal and her sister are in the manor’s secret basement, which I'm upset that I didn’t know about. Rich guys always have hidden rooms and I didn't even think to check. We agreed that after we defeat Sebrezal and rescue her sister, that Ghona can do what she pleases with him. We returned to the manor, battled it out, and won. With Ghona’s sister rescued, Sebrezal earned himself a punch to the face. Then the gang left the city while it was still dark and we all headed back to the inn to rest.
 
Now, not to be pessimistic but it’s only been four days and all my plans have been turned upside down. I know I came here for paying work but right now things aren’t going as I hoped, especially when my group is mostly people who are just now leaving their sheltered lives and won’t rob a lying rich guy’s house with me. Still, I’ve gotta keep an eye on the goal. Things aren’t going as I hoped, I took a bad job without thinking, I didn’t ask enough questions, didn’t get a grasp of the whole picture, didn’t make a plan, but jumped in without thinking. Ideally, I’d come up with a plan but knowing me I won’t remember it anyway, so might as well wing it.
