BBEG crony curb stomps us into next week. The party is able to run through the tunnel in the middle into a boiler room. We piton the door closed. We go into the next room and a partition cuts the party in two. Andy Sterling and J’hola on one side, Eckid and Dax on the other. The room is flooding. Puzzle room solved. We exit and piton the next door closed into a bare-bones empty room. Artificially lit with ambient lighting, we try to break through it to no avail. Crony breaks thru and strikes at Dax. Sterling shifts and intercepts, protecting Dax, before he shoots flames out at everyone. Sterling and Dax engage while the rest of the party tries to break through the walls. Andy kicks open the ceiling and uncovers that its got a square ceiling over their circular room. A voice over the PA greets us and identifies itself as the Prince of the Doves. He beckons us out and into a lounge to cut us a deal. Regulus, the prince, confesses someone hired them and shows us his face. Takes us to Sun on a stone slab in a dungeon where hes dying. Dax cures his poisoning. Regulus takes sacrifices from everyone. Andy’s right arm, Sterling’s right leg, Eckid’s gold, 2yrs of Dax’s life, J’hola’s voice and Sun’s dancing. Regulus leads us out after taking our payments and leads us to a trap door leading to just outside Moanin’ Maud’s in the rain. (Benoit) ushers us in and lets the 6 of us rest in his upstairs rooms. We are all fucked up. He tells us Lady Lillia was here asking him questions about us. Told her he hadn’t seen us, & had to close the bar. He feeds us and tends to us and we go to sleep. In the night, at 2 am, someone opens Eckid’s door with Knock and wakes everyone up. Someone in boots stays waiting in front of the room the rest of us are in, we don’t open it for a while. When we do, there’s a note in ink scrawled on the wall: “I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE”. No one in the tavern, entrance wet from someone walking in from the rain. We organize to leave Maud’s and tell Benoit to get outta there, and for Pareidolia to contact Yasmir. We take Sun with us and head to his caravan for him to pack, then Richter’s wizard hut. On the way out of town we get attacked by a hooded figure on horseback. He tells us to leave Viquar’s Gate and for the King to stay away. He does not respond to our questions. We go to the caravan (Sun and Dax share their first kiss(im dying)) then go to Richter’s. The party warms up by the fire and relays what happened. They all eat and bathe and have a PJ party and collapse all over Victor Richter’s house.
