Session 3 - Mercy and Fireballs

by Jack

The party charged through the streets of Gate Pass as the battle rages above the city. As they progress, an injured wyvern fell from the heavens and crashed through the roof of a civilian home. The party found a trail of bodies leading to a house where the rider of the fallen beast held a family hostage. Some of the group wanted to finish off the killer, but Jack put forth every effort to save him. In the end, the party removed the rider's weapons and armor, hog-tied him, and left him in a dark corner outside.
Continuing on, the party arrived at Gabal's School of War. They were greeted by a portly man smoking a cigarette at the entrance of the school, who introduced himself as Diogenes. Jack and Myetharia lied to him in an attempt to convince him to quietly bring them to Shaelis, the elven woman who Larion was bringing the box to. After some discussion, Diogenes led them through the halls of The Castle, arriving at the dormitory hallway where Shaelis resided.
Attempting to sneak to her door, Rayland, Myetharia, and Winry crept down the hall. Unfortunately, the attempt failed, and in an effort to stop Shaelis' retreat, the group charged through her door.
They found Shaelis packing some belongings, with Larion and his solon watching her back. A melee ensured, in which Larion was slain. Seeing the numbers turn against her, Shaelis dropped a Fireball spell on the group, knocking several down, including Myetharia and Rayland. Seeing the level of her power, and that their two battle-hardened leaders were face down, Jack, Winry and Bryn decided enough was enough, and stepped back to allow Shaelis to leave.
While she finished packing her things, Jack asked her if she was taking the box to Lord Shaaladel. She laughed this off. Winry asked her if she had any desire to protect Gate Pass. Shaelis claimed she had no allegiance to the city. Jack suggested that his father could pay Shaelis double for the intel (which Myetharia and Rayland were not conscious to hear), and while she was momentarily tempted by this, she headed out the door, but not before telling Jack that he should seek Clathan if he wanted the intel.
