We join a group of 6 mis-matched friends in JPās bar, near the waterfront, in the Purrough, Borthliss.
The group is preparing to engage in some exciting karaoke, with exciting traditional fantasy ballads, like Firework, and Bohemian Rhapsody, when a young man bursts in to the bar screaming for someone named Griffin.
Our party member, Gryphon, understandably confuses this young manās shouts as an attempt to gain his attention and approaches him, discovering his name to be Ival Endicott - of the Endicott family, widely known as an eccentric and somewhat inappropriate family of sorcerers and wizards - and his distress to be the result of his cat, Saul, being abducted by Ivalās cousin, Thea.
After some mishaps, including the young Drow, Krit, attempting to steal what he assumed was Ivalās purse and subsequently getting knocked the fuck out by the monk, Corianthe, the party heads toward the Alchemistās District further inland where Thea keeps a small lab for her magical experiments.
The party conducts a stealthy infiltration of the building, lead by the sneaky Edward, Kritās twin brother, and discovers Thea in the process of conducting a ritual involving the tiger,Ā Saul.
After Corianthe throws a flash-bomb that blinds and deafens Thea, the group totally wail on her and end the encounter by hog-tying her while she screams and sobs the same word over and over in Draconic, as identified by both Gryphon and Eibhearon. Eibhearon posits that sheās either sayingĀ āMasterā in the sense ofĀ āmaster and apprenticeā orĀ āgrandfatherā in the literal familiar sense.
We end with a restrained, if not subdued, Thea, a confused party of six, and a cat in a cage.
Next time: What the fuck is that wand, why is there a literal tiger in a big metal box, who the fuck is Thea talking to?
