Session 6 - Magic, Money, and Mages

by Jack

The thugs dressed as guards attacked the party. Realizing Bryn had the ability to use magic, the thugs focused their attack on her. The ensuing dog pile may have meant curtains for Bryn, when suddenly, a spry man with a greatsword dropped from the roof and joined the melee. With his help, the party fought off the enemies, capturing one of them in the process. The mysterious rogue introduced himself as Rantle, a member of the Thieve's Guild in Gate Pass. He was very familiar with Myetharia, and enjoyed flirting with Bryn after the fight.
 
Together, the party followed Rantle and took their captive to a hideout. There, they questioned the thug, and discovered he belonged to a group of mercenaries that worked out of a camp south of the city. The group's boss was revealed to be Kathor Danava, and they sought mages in the city to capture and turn in to the Ragesian army for a reward. Within the city, the group frequented the Mannish Inn.
 
All the information gathered, the group asked Rantle to watch the prisoner and let him go after a few days. Rantle agreed, and then asked Myetharia a favor of his own. His sister Katrina disappeared a few days prior when news of the Scourge arrived, and Rantle believed she was making her way to the Lyceum, hoping to hone her abilities as a sorcerer. Rantle asked Myetharia if she would look for Katrina on her way to the Lyceum, and gave her a letter to deliver to Katrina upon her discovery. He described her as 5'8" with long red hair fitting for her magical fire abilities.
 
The party made their way to the temple to gather Torrent. Saying their farewells to Funzbar, the group plus Torrent started the long trek to the barracks to find Captain Herreman. Herreman turned out to be a middle-aged half-orc with a graying beard, and a dagger at his hip in the shape of a banana (obviously showing his connection to Councilman Menash). Showing the captain the documents Menash gave them, Herreman explained that the party's way out of the city was to dress as guards and go out on patrol. Their patrol was to look into a Ragesian necromancer robbing graves to revive the inhabitants, though Herreman doubted the veracity of the claim.
 
The party decided to wait in the barracks until the time came for the patrol, and the escape from the Gate Pass.
