2/21/10 Game

2/21/2010

Started off at our apartment. Hell knights came to our home. Paralictor showed up with 5 armed guards and one…mephit of some type. Paralictor was a very lithe woman with odd plate type chain mail. Gasirvadai (master of blades) took over as the woman and the devil left. Collected the nightmare and went off toward the citadel for the order of the rack. In the courtyard the devil brought Don’s father. Paralictor advised that they had determined that it was our rival who had created the problems and that we don’t want any future issues between the hellknights and our family. Four armingers were patrolling in our area when we returned.

Next day we decided to head out to the ruins to see what riches could be found. House Dioso takes care of this section of town (near ruins) Cemaine is the family that runs the inn near the canal where we docked. Met with Cortez at the inn to discuss ways in to the ruins. Bow made of antlers with an arrow pointing straight down is the location of the next dusk market.

In ruins came across 9 tiefling with long arms. “Choker gang” individuals. Killed 6 of the 9, 4/5/7 got away.

Loot: Studded leather armor, MW Light XB x6 – 4 used 2 for sale, 6x short swords. +1 flaming short sword (to red)

15gems 50gp each. (3 for party loot)

Tracked the group back to the pillars in the ruins. Caught scout but rest discovered us on the way. Scout had belt of 6 potions on him. Defeated some hobgoblins at the pillars. Some choker tieflings and and a summoner was at the pillars.

From Kieran

Yesterday a number of you seemed to look at me oddly when I dispatched the orc that we found on the trail when we were following the nightmare back to what ultimately would have been the citadel. I want to remind you that going in to this we all agreed that they were brigands and deserved death and that ultimately we did not want any combatants left alive to potentially cause us trouble later with the council of thieves (one still got away, but hopefully his cowardice and failure will overcome his need to report to the council what happened.

After searching for the horse we found an orc bleeding to death that was bucked off the horse. Killed him. Horse appears to be heading back to the order of the rack citadel. Took the horses back to the caves to meet up with lobos and the thieves. They were able to pull the wagons with no problem. Regular folk in awe of our presence due to the nightmares.

Long term effects from successful mission:

Increased family prestige with each of the family with broker.

Receive an endorsement from each family to support our claim to secure our territory.
Canal priv’s from each family for right of way.
Baron gives an official invite from his house to come to the island for a feast and party in our honor.

They want us to return the horse to the hellknights as a gift from all of us.

Contacted cousin with the hell knights. Advised we can work this to the favor of Don’s father. He advised there are certain other people that we don’t want to have present at the meeting so he’ll check it out and flare for us if it’s negative.

I think we have to be careful with some of the things we do. There is a tendency to take the lower moral road by bringing up the fact that we live in a lawful evil society. We might live there but we don't have to emulate them. We can do things differently. All will not be sweetness and light, but that doesn't mean it has to be dark either. If we achieve results in a more morally acceptable way, WE can set the bar for other families and maybe improve the society as a whole.
