Session 42- Eve of War

by Theral Animatrous

Went back to Endercoast and everyone seems on high alert; apparently the Mayor has gone missing somehow

  • Huck has declared martial law and thinks the sentinels had something to do with it; the North and the East sides are barricaded off; tensions are high

  • Split up: Rapp went to speak with the Sentinels while Rhugar and Theral went to the Town Hall to investigate the mayor's disappearance

  • RAPP:
  • Spoke to Hermoine; she claims Huck disposed of the mayor in a power play and scapegoated the sentinels

  • "Witnesses" claim once Endercoast got stable resources, Huck tried to persuade the mayor into a large scale investigation into a "crime" and allow him to make any arrests he wished

  • Mayor said no and Huck supposedly arrested him for corruption

  • Huck has also been distributing propaganda stating the sentinels are responsible for the mayor's disappearance

  • THE REST OF THE PARTY:
    Scoped out the outside of the Town hall and noticed the Mayor's office was ransacked
    Spoke with Commissioner Huck about the situation. What he knows:
  • 2 days ago, some clerks came into city hall and noticed the Mayor's office was ransacked. The guards believe that the Sentinels of Equity have made a power play.

  • The guards found some scraps of fabric supposedly belonging to Sentinels clothing; can't detect if he's lying or not

  • Delivered an ultimatum: if they don't respond with 2 days the guards will storm the sentinels compound


  • Mayor's office investigation:
  • No signs of a fight

  • Desk is looted and the ledger is gone; find a secret switch inside that opened a bookcase

  • Behind a bookcase is a safe; used knock to open it- it was empty!

  • Bookshelves contain a lot of books on magical theory; pocketed those for my library

  • The window show an outline of a bootprint and the windows can open; the window was unlatched, meaning someone could come and go from outside

  • Papers strewn about aren't important; suspiciously so... someone might have left them there as misdirection

  • Outside the window, caught on one of the branches in the bush is a small piece of purple fabric


  • Apparently the mayor has a daughter named Babydoll who ran a store specializing in high end fashion just off Main Street; went to investigate that

  • Turns out we're being tailed by a guard; Rapp split off to investigate while we wrapped up our day

  • Went back to the fashion shop with Rapp. He broke in while I stood guard out back. Found nothing out of the ordinary aside from a white dress made from sheer white silk; took a sample and gtfo'd


  • END OF DAY 1
     
    Snuck my familiar into the guard house; the guards had some sort of power play involving the mayor that went awry, so they're making a move to take out the sentinels now
  • Used my last Legend Lore scroll to get more info on Mayor Attercat- came from humble beginnings to being elected as the mayor; had a daughter who he cared very much for, to the point where it affected the city; daughter found something that made her happy in the Feywild; The mayor fled the city

  • Searched the mayor's house and found a letter from his daughter; she's eloping with an eladrin who visited her store
