Session 3: The Redbrand Menace Report
General Summary
The party had a quick break, tending their wounds as best they could in the Townhall. Lucan then had a dream of literally 30 minutes ago, where Daran told him where the entrance of the Redbrand hideout was located at the manor and of disappearing prospectors to the northeast.
They then went into the hideout, where they started rough housing in the cellar attracting the attention of nearby bandits. The combat led to most of the party (especially Fluffy of all things) to realize disguises would be a smart idea and Erland to discover a hidden cache of supplies and a secret door in the room, which led into a cavern. The party then started feeling a poking and prodding feeling in their brains as they soon heard laughter they couldn't find the source for. It was only through sheer luck that the source was found, a Nothic seeking to blackmail the party with their secrets. The party was not impressed, so the following secrets were revealed:
"The Cleric is a spy for Vinland!"
"Magic boy worships a weird demon-dragon hybrid!"
"The Inquisitor is such a terrible father that the mother took the kids!"
Once the Nothic was slain, Erland would find magical energy pulsing from the bottom of the chasm. While the magic wasn't actually useful, it did lead them to a chest of items the Nothic had stashed. This included a sword that Fluffy somehow recognized its significance, which led Fluffy to actually wield the sword in combat. Once they collected themselves they went to the next room, where they found a gang of bugbears bullying a goblin.
Disguised, it was very easy to fool the bugbears. However, The party bit off more than they could chew and told the bugbears of adventurers that were a threat but told them they couldn't help. The bugbears, angry that the party was keeping them from any fun, took a closer look and saw through the party's disguises. The party, in another error, tried to seek the help of Redbrands. Unfortunately for them, Redbrands have a password for grave accusations such as accusing the bugbears of being traitors. The party failed to provide it, and thus ended up fighting outnumbered 2-1. It was a gruesome fight, but the party eventually persevered, taking a rest in the room the Bugbears occupied originally.
