Session: Sept. 11, 2023

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

The day began normal enough. Well, normal for a group who's hiding two fugitives and are all pretending to be the retinue for a master musician. It sounded like the breakfast with Count Peyton and his wife went fine, though from what Elegant said, I'm starting to wonder if the Count's wife was hitting on him. I was also a little shocked that Elegant was so willing to discuss what Ahzek had done to us, but I suppose bards are going to bard. Can't keep them from telling a good story. I'm actually almost sad that he didn't mention Ahzek's name, I would have loved to see if there was a reaction there.
 
It was also significantly easier to get the itinerary and guest list than I thought it was going to be. Though Mister Carlen said he was going to give me the two names of the redacted guests and he never did, so I have a small bone to pick, but he said they were insignificant anyway. Also on the names line - we finally found out the name of the female servant that went missing (or died? Unsure) - Taria. I am concerned that Elegant mentioned getting a vision where they were together and he winked at her. I want to believe the best in Elegant, but we don't know what happened that night.
 
The only other interesting thing to me was that Rayen asked Mud if I was single, which is absolutely adorable. The fact that Mud also vetted him for me like a big brother would, warmed my heart. I don't need his approval on who I date, but it was actually kind of cute nonetheless.
 
The beginning of the party went exactly as I hoped it would - Elegant and Ny'ell absolutely blew the crowd out of the water. Even I was shocked...I knew Elegant was good, and I obviously knew Ny'ell was a master, but I hadn't heard them play together before. They are...something else to behold. They had people so captivated I thought there was some literal spell taking place at first. But no, they're just THAT good. I'm hoping that means that my mother will hear of how amazing the performance was and invite them over. That would make things much easier for us if they get that invite, because we can continue to pretend to be his retinue and sneak in that way. Otherwise, I'm not sure exactly how we get there. The only other options popping into my mind are me giving myself up so she lets her guard down and my friends can come rescue me, or we legitimately try sneaking in, neither of which sounds like it has a high success rate. So here's hoping.
 
Now the mingling is where it gets interesting. First off, Rayen DID ask me to dance! Gods, I was secretly thrilled by that. He seems so wholesome and adorable that I just want the best for him. It was so cute when he had to go and help Comptess Freya. What a refreshing, normal, young adult problem to have. But directly after that, he noticed the guards were growing. And not Count Peyton's guards either, city guards. And the city guards told him the Royal Guards were coming, to which they did, in a very dramatic fashion. They proceeded to announce they had a warrant for Ny'ell's arrest, on charges of murder! There were so many things I had tried to plan for happening - Ny'ell getting arrested was not one of them. She didn't seem surprised by it though, which was interesting. She went very calmly and willingly. So now the question is, who did she murder? I have a hard time thinking the worst, since our group has also murdered a lot of people and they all deserved it. This also begs the question - do we team up with Cor'nan? He's just going to be all alone otherwise, which doesn't sit well with me, much as I dislike his womanizing ways. Sigh.
 
After the dust of arresting Ny'ell had just begun to settle, and they took her out, Saanes messaged us to say that Sevette was planning on kidnapping him. Not on my watch. I will not let my friends be taken by any members of the Cult. Unfortunately the closest person to me was Rayen, so he's the one getting Dimension Door'ed with me. I'm just hoping we're going to be there in time. I have some questions I'd like to ask Sevette...
