Session XV: Honor Report
General Summary
The party, having prevented Lady Tuin from kidnapping the young Honor Liel, now have two prisoners in the way of two mercenaries from The Grudge Gang. Olyver the human and Wayne the armored half-elf.
Interrogating the two Kethra and Bailiwick don't learn too much other than they were payed up front and didn't expect there to be a child here. They ventured down into the basement where they heard odd sobs but were told to stay put while Lady Tuin handled something.
While the two interrogate the mercenaries Freya ventures over to the bathroom where Arkeshia took the young Honor before reviving her. The bathroom was small and surprisingly cold.
The bard inquired with the young tiefling why she was here. The young girl revealed that Magic Liel had a dream telling her to go to the circle in the basement of the Jolly Dwarf. She stopped her sister offering to go in first and make sure everything was okay. She then appeared within the temple there at Vuulental Mansion where she stayed for a day before being found by the undead goliath and brought up to that room.
It was then the bathroom door slammed shut and the room became down-right freezing. The ghostly visage of the mistress of the house appeared and attacked the party. Her ghastly wail managed to cause Honor to faint once more yet the others endured and quickly routed the Banshee.
Amid the combat though the two bound mercenaries attempted to flee - to which Kethra resolved by beheading one and threatened the other before joining the others in combat.
Thanks to her Blade of Darkened Vengeance only the fighter seemed to do real damage to the ghost, vanquishing it with her echo before it was able to assault Arkeshia in the bathroom. ----
With the ghost vanquished Arkeshia returned to inquiring with Honor more information about what was going on. Freya scoured the upstairs floor for any other rooms that seemed odd before returning to Honor's side. The ghost was definitely the Lady of the house, and Honor re-confirmed that the owner of the mansion was Fletcher Highlinton. They lived there with their son, whom Honor never saw, and their daughter Rosalyn - who was very sick.
Honor and Magic were forced to steal in exchange for living there. They stole a tome from the shop that use to belong to their fathers, a staff and necklace, and an orb. She then drew for Arkeshia an image of the person Magic described in her dreams - whom Freya immediately recognized as Lolth.
Bailiwick decided to investigate the southern room that Freya marked with an X. Sending K.K. beneath it the familiar was quickly disposed of before able to report anything to its master. Calling Arkeshia over to disarm a trap they broke down the door only to be confronted with a Spectator.
The party quickly disposed of the abberation before doing one more sweep of the upper floor. Kethra ventured to the master's room and found the decomposing body of the Lady of the mansion in the private bathroom and reported back.
Collecting Lady Tuins head Arkeshia cast Speak with Dead and had Kethra speak to her. Kethra notified everyone she'd be speaking in Lady Tuins' native tongue and asked the following questions:
The party finished the session by venturing back to the children's room and barricading the door to decide if they were going to take a short or long rest. Regardless, a rest is planned.

Collecting Lady Tuins head Arkeshia cast Speak with Dead and had Kethra speak to her. Kethra notified everyone she'd be speaking in Lady Tuins' native tongue and asked the following questions:
She received the following answers:
- What has been going on, why were you sent here?
- Do you have any leads as to where Fetch currently is?
- Was this child to be the new host?
- Did you seek this child out?
- Should we fear anything else?
With the answers in hand Bailiwick ventured into the room protected by the aberration and found the deed to the mansion along with an ancient tome written in a language he cannot comprehend.
- Fletcher had sent us to check on his daughter and collect the new host.
- He is where he has been for the past two years, you do not need to worry.
- Yes.
- We went with the mistress' commands
- The child bellow is harmless, unable to heed the mistress' commands - she is a failure.
The party finished the session by venturing back to the children's room and barricading the door to decide if they were going to take a short or long rest. Regardless, a rest is planned.
