Session 0.75 - Cultists in the Courtyard

General Summary

• Nimh  and Bry are getting a little antsy guarding the Uncivil Serpent - Pirate Ship after reading a note left for them by the rest of the group.
• The duo are able to task members of Flaming Fist to guard their ship while they try to catch up with the others at the Public Bathhouse and Courtyard 
• Back at the Bath-house, Taven is getting attacked by armed patrons and begins fighting back.
• Veronika, unsure on if she should defend herself before getting information needed, decides to bolts out of the massage room, leaving Red underneath the massage bed.
• Veronika runs past Taven and out of the doors leading to the Courtyard outside, and is surprised to see the Courtyard now surrounded by the same aggressive cultists. She takes cover!
• Mako and Coelor have also arrived in the Courtyard and Mako immediately notices that some of the cultists are wearing the symbols of the God of Tyranny Bane, as that was one of the deities he has studied over his travels. 
• Mako decides to try and convince the cultists in the courtyard that he and the rest of the group are here to seek out Bane, as they have been summoned by him. Most of the cultists believe him, while one seems indifferent. 
• Around this time Nimh and Bry arrive and Coeler tries to catch them up, Veronika starts shouting toward the indifferent one, and a loud crash is heard on the inside of the Bath-house.
• This crash is Taven laying some Stone-Cold Stunners on the cultists that had attacked him. This draws the cultists from the Courtyard into the Bath-house...all except for the indifferent one, who asks to speak with Mako.
• He introduces himself as Urliel and through a transparent conversation Mako finds out that Urliel fought for the rebellion (Failed Coup on Baldur's Gate)  that the group tried to assemble and that their intentions are the same...to take down Followers of The Dead Three.
• He also notifies the group that he knows that the massage room has a secret door that leads to an underground dungeon where the Dead Three meet and worship.
• The group in the courtyard finally re-enters the Bath-house to help out Taven and his brawl...Red remains hidden underneath her massage table.
• After a brief scuffle, the group is able to take out the cultists and barge into the massage room, which is now occupied by 3 more cultists.
• Red finally decides to join the battle and they are able to clear the room.
• After all of the action, they begin examining the room and sense the magical energy coming from a secret passage in the wall.
