Session 5 - Planning a Heist
General Summary
Feebs wakes from an extra-long sleep to find that Sylbella and Gunkyn are gone. Not sure of what is going on and finding no note, he packs up and starts to go off on his own, grumbling about having been left behind.
Thankfully, Sylbella and Gunkyn are also awake and on their way back to retrieve him when they find that he has left the room they camped in. Noticing footprints in the dust they follow and quickly find him nearby. There is a brief bit of tension as Feebs expresses his dislike, to say the least, of being left but the trio soon smooths that over and Sylbella and Gunkyn fill Feebs in on exactly where they are, having met the Brotherhood of Gorm and them describing the other factions within what they now know to be the ancient city of Cynidecea. They also let him know of their plan to get into the vault guarded by killer bees since they now know that it belongs to the Brotherhood and anyone dressed as them, the bees will ignore.
Since they had told the Brothers about Feebs when they first visited, they decide to create a distraction by having Sylbella take Feebs to introduce him to the Brothers. Meanwhile, Gunkyn will go the back way to the killer bee room and use disguise self to look like a Brother of Gorm.
On route to the Brotherhood, though Sylbella and Feebs encounter a group of Goblins. These Goblins, however are servants of Zargon, and are quite taken aback that Feebs would not be with them. They are quite zealous in their efforts to get the two to follow them to Zargon and join their cult, so much so that they attack when it becomes clear that neither Sylbella nor Feebs is interested. Through clearly superior cunning and skill, the Goblin cultists are quickly defeated.
Gunkyn, on the other hand experiences no opposition or issues and easily sneaks into the vault room and walks past the bees. He is able to grab a couple of gems, a piece of jewelry and a few hundred gold pieces as well as a couple of pots of honey, which is known to have healing properties. He takes the loot back to the group’s hiding place to stash it, except for one gem. On his way to meet up with Sylbella and Feebs, he comes across the dead Goblins, which gives him an idea – he places the one gem he kept in his pocket into the hand of one of the Goblins and then continues on to the front entrance of the Brotherhoods chambers.
While the three socialize with their new friends, one of the Brothers fetches more honey for their guests and notices the missing items from their vault. At that point, their leader, Kanadius requests that they show him the dead Goblin zealots since Gunkyn reports having encountered no one else while coming here.
The gem planted by Gunkyn convinces the Brothers that it was the Priests of Zargon that perpetrated the heist and vow that they will deal with it themselves.
The trio returns to their secret room to retrieve their treasure and decide what to do next.
