Session 18 & 19: A Bank Heist Report
General Summary
Session 18 & 19
The party made it to Stonewood, explored the town and met with some of the locals, you looked for and found the grisley remain of Livia Magnus - wife of the deceased govenor- in the mouth of a Boggart - aka devil frog - in a house called the Wispering Willows, returning that night to the Ironcrest Inn, they had a night of revelry after surviving so many close calls with death. You also met a new interesting figure Lyra Silverwald, who came into town that evening hunting for something. A brawl with two soliders highered by the govenor broke out in the tavern, resolved with fists and staffs. Afterwards you all invibed some bonus time with Zahou the Innkeeper.
The next day your returned to the Wispering Willows to follow up on a dream Vass had about they entry way, got into a locked safe, where you found a mysterious locket. Lyra said, if she was able to find her friend Whimsy - who she believes is being held at the Valin & Blink Bank- then she'd be able to tell you a lot more about the locket.
You then tried to pull off a bank heist, looking for shipping manifests, ownership rights over boats once controlled by Verus Trading, and this mysterious figure Whimsy. Lavinia transformed herself into Falvus Verus, and made Lyra and Marcus invisible, Ash snuck in by the Blessing of the Trickster given to him by Lyra, despite the direct light of the well lit interiors of the building, Vass tried to open an account as himself. Despite passing many itntial checks and getting all the way into the safe, the crew was held up by a request for a key to open the chest containing the valuables in the safe. Being told they'd need to go to the branch manger to get a replacement key, they reutrned upstairs, but upon getting to past the intial stairs, with Lyra, and Marcus following, William re-engaged a glyph ward with a triggering word, while Lyra and Marcus where on the ward. Engageing an audible alarm and sprining a trap.
With the alarm now going off, the bank went into shutdown and Lavainia (still pretending to be Falvus Verus) and Lyra were pushed out the door, except Vass who was able to distract people to remain inside, the two gaurds in the vault also left but in thier wake there was summoned an Earth Elemental, where Ash and Marcus are stuck in the locked vault with the creature. What you can only assume is some kind of guardian or protector of the vault. Lastly, you heard the branch manager say he needs 6 hours of shutdown before the bank will re-open. Session 19: The plan had fallen apart. Starting out seperated into 3 areas, the party was able to eventually all get into the bank vault, fight off the mage and the earth elemental. Looted the bank of its magical items and wealth, they left town with the garrison on the heels of Vass. Returning to Dunwell on the 4th and did some work around town on the 5th of Solsticefire.
