Q1: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A1: A professional goblin-ball striker.
 
BEGIN SESSION
 
Yun, Druss, and I move to free the captives. I am cut off by Druss's rushing attack on the point where the chains all come together into the wall anchor. He smashes the chains, but they're scared of him now. A good swarm of these folks makes their way into the corridor, blocking us in. A lot of the ads go down, along with a big guy. There's some caster using fireballs but lightning instead and really smacking ass. We are cleaning up and clearing out the place, but eventually we come to realize that we haven't been attacked by the caster in a minute, and there is an eerie quietness other than the dripping of water coming from the room we'd found the prisoners in. Melfina moves first to check it out (Druss was put to sleep and is getting lifted out of the water from some kind of force disk). Druss is rescued, Yun is still missing, we kill the guard on our way out, and make our way back to Madame Curie's. Yun had gone back to Max and Leona at the Three Rivers Inn for help, where they are scrutinized to make sure they are who they say they are. With Max in tow, Yun heads back to the alley.
 
We get out of the base, duck into an alley, and Melfina Sends to Yun, telling them to meet us all at Madame Curie's. We all get to the inn about the same time and head inside. In the room, Max summons the pillow fort because Druss can't summon the whimsy. There's a central tree with rooms out on the edges in a branching fashion. The rooms all have different architectural styles. Druss reads the rest of us in to what he found on the big guy's body and what he learned. While the talking goes on, I patch Mikey up using Mending. Now that Max can see everything is ok, he heads back to Leona and Tuli. On first watch, Melfina Sends to Dani and lets her know about our killing, and Dani ribs her back about leaving bodies wherever we go. Melfina and Marda wake up Yun and I because there are guards coming to all the cabins. Yun creates a distraction in a crazy old woman disguise so that I can sneak out invisibly, and then I make Mikey invisible too. One of the guards sees us go invisible. They are investigating looking for miscreants and ne'er-do-wells. Two of them enter the cabin and poke the blanket fort. We get them away for now after Yun uses Suggestion to tell them to get, but they'll surely be back when the spell ends. We get a short rest, but Yun has to stay up to keep the spell going.
 
We think to head to the Sanctum outpost we'd visited before, as run by Lenny Potts. It takes awhile to get there, and the spell fades to nothing. Yun collapses from the exertion, and we help them the rest of the way. The outpost is locked, but Marda's silver badge of rank gains us access. We set up the tent and look to all get some deep rest. Melfina Sends to Dani again, who is still hard at work against the Othertoe and requests backup, if we can. We can't until we rest, which we do, and then level up!
