The Sweet Chili Pub

Thistle and I arrived in Nogvurot in the early evening and followed our noses into The Sweet Chili Pub. As we made our way to a table I saw Charlotte! It was so good to see her and know she's doing well. We shuffled some tables around and joined her and her friends, along with another couple whose table we disturbed, for meal and merriment. Thistle really enjoyed the rum so towards the end of the evening I helped her to a room.
 
The events took an unexpected turn when, during my meditation, a sprite zipped into the room obviously trying to draw our attention before disappearing out the door again. I looked out the door and saw a scuffle in the room at the end of the hall. I shouted an alert to Thistle and rushed down the hall. My training from the abbey kicking in, I quickly assessed the situation: one elf wounded, and another taking a stand alongside Charlotte's friend, Virdan, so I took aim at the obvious threat but missed the hooded figure in my haste.
 
The assailant hadn't anticipated taking on an entire dinner party -- as the sprite and the noise encouraged the other patrons to enter the fray -- the dark figure escaped through the window into in the night.
 
The assassin -- a Volstrucker Agent it was mentioned -- had targeted ambassadors from the Kryn Dynasty, Viertree and Loc, who are on a mission to negotiate peace between the nations. Politics are best to be avoided it, but they could use some additional protection in their escape to the safety of their homeland, and I didn't have set plans from here anyway. Everyone else seems keen on traveling West with them, including Thistle; that's enough for me.
 
The group was deep in conversation about our next moves and plans for escaping the pub and Nogvurot unnoticed, so I set to work mixing up some hair dye and a hat for Viertree and Loc to use as disguises. I was so proud of the stitching on the hat! But when Loc put it on it just levitated a foot or so above his head. Well, I'm sure it will fit better when they drop the Seeming spell.
