Session 02

General Summary

Terri said hello and sat down next to Harley and then surprised everyone by drawing a hidden dagger and trying to plunge it into her boyfriend's side! Harley's lightning reactions saved him and he dodged aside. Jumping to his feet he drew his rapier and tried to knock Terri out. Magma Force exploded into action, trying to subdue Terri. She lept atop the table and attacked Morgan.   Suddenly two previously invisible imps materialised and a stealthy drow stepped out of the shadows. The fight was on in earnest. Terri was quickly knocked out and as she fell unconscious on the table she changed shape into what Camero recognised as a doppelganger. The two imps were fairly quickly disposed of and with all five of our heroes concentrating on the drow she was also soon killed. The group took the bodies into the back room and tied up the doppelganger. Gotrek stood as lookout whilst the others questioned the alien creature. It negotiated its freedom for information. It said that Terri was fine and it had only looked like her for a few iminutes to get in close to the adventurers. It told them it was working for Maarth, the drow they had killed. But it did know she was hired to kill them by someone called Vel. The doppelganger was let free and headed off into town looking just like Harley. Artus was questioned and he said he'd find out what he could about the person called Vel for 4000 gold.   That evening the group met up at the Cusp of Sunrise with their lady friends. They played some gem-snatcher and noted the various nobles here in the Cusp, including Lord Taskerhill and Aslaxin, plus the dwarven gamber Adrick Garthun who was playing for platinum and winning as usual. Dinner was a wonderful affair and many decided to take the opportunity to stay the night. When Braken returned to the Drunken Morkoth he found a note waiting for the group saying that Artus had already gained some information for them.   The next morning Harley went to see the chef and was told that Calmus Vel was the third ranking cleric in the Cathedral of Wee Jas and that he had hired Maarth. But the order had apparently come down from Ike Iverson, the current acting High Priest. In addition the Cathedral had recently hired an earth titan and was rumoured to be creating powerful undead to defend their building. They had by all accounts gone on the defensive and were expecting an attack. It was guessed it was preparing for a retributive strike from the adventurers. Artus was unable to find out why the Cathedral had ordered the attack but was 100% certain it was them.   In the middle of the night, Camero and Harley snuck out to the Cathedral and Camero used his Wizard Sight to look into the Cathedral. Inside the main chamber he saw a slumbering earth giant, a few orc warriors with axes and a human dressed in robes of a priest of Wee Jas. It seemed the rumours were true but there was no sign of any undead in the chamber. Camero studied the cleric's face and made sure he could describe it.
