Divinations

Kieran Rufano this post cost money! This will represent some information and visions gained from divinations, some you cast yourself, others were gained when you and Red studied the book. The picture in the post is the vision you have when you asked to see the one who summoned you and red.  Your divination's require a sacrifice of 300gp. 

Kieran and Red stared down at the coalescing picture, surprised as the images took form..and moved.  For a moment both are startled, thinking that the face staring back at them could see them.  It soon became clear that they were viewing and hearing the man via the magic of the book.  The man that stared at them, his face was covered by a black mask, that only upon closer view could you see the fine mesh, like a fencer's mask.  Speaking, it was unclear if someone else was in the room or he was caught up in a personal moment, speaking aloud.  "It is a difficult path, to know that there are others, who keep the secret, who serve blackfinger, and yet they are unknown to me." 

A different voice spoke, its tone low, its timber rumbling, "You have been blessed with many secrets, none of the others of which you speak, have ever been granted an audience."  Stepping into view this new individual was a strange sight, humanoid but lion headed. "Well none had seen me till now." he roared, and quickly moved towards the page Kieran and Red stared at.  Unable to help yourselves, both of you jumped back and like that the images were gone. 

the Ranger's New Clothes

Syf spent 100gp buying a new outfit for the ball. We are expected to show up as "heros" in full adventuring kit. Given our ulterior motives this is fantastic, however, I don't think looking like a bunch of rag pickers is going to do our family our House any good. Therefore, she has bought new, above average clothes. She has also popped for expensive gear; such as enameled and tooled scabards and boots. Armor too has been freshly enameled.

Air defense

Goes by the name of Grillik. Has been patrolling our streets, from the air, almost since we got back home.

6/13/2010 Notes

6/13/2010

Took several days of rest to take care of diseases and other sickness. During the morning a maggot infested undead hellknight came to ask about the city guard operating in our area. We decided to head back to the caves to check out the status of our bounty. Along the way we found a 2nd path. Cemaine family garb found on the bodies of 5 dead individuals. Found 500g on the dead bodies.

Loot: Elixir of Vision, Adamantine dagger +1x2, vial of silver sheen, dust of illusion, gloves of swimming and climbing.

Field of battle covered with scorch marks (and bodies had slashing and piercing marks.) came to a building where a devil was lounging with a fire. A bone devil is found at the back door. The farmer and his family are located on the upper floor. About to head in, 3 riders approach. One appears to have heavier chain mail.

Upon rogue stepping in a trap it initiated combat. The bone devil flew out to find the source of the noise and put a wall of ice around the house except the front door. The “Bruce Devil” slaughtered the priest of asmodeus. He then summoned another bone devil and the priests entourage fled. Eventually the devil made an offer for us to leave. We were able to rescue the family who requested they stay in our district in an apartment.

At the end of the day we met with the Children of Westcrown. Ailyn Ghontasavos, Janovin and Ariel are all present at the meeting (as are some other CoWs.) Ailyn is a member of the pathfinder society. Pathfinders are not welcome in westcrown (from the government.) She has attempted to pass off as a common merc but she’s not doing so well. She’s attempting to recover some treasures that were lost when the city forced the lodge closed. The lodge is named “Delahaven” and has been locked over 30 years (no pathfinders have stepped in since Aroden’s death.) The mayor office is in charge of security at Delahaven. There are powerful locks and wards to prevent entry. The keys to the locks exist in Aberen’s Folly (the mayor’s office.) The chelish crux is likely located in the asmodian knot. The chelish crux holds the keys to Delahaven. The Chelish Crux is a puzzle box/safe that guards items of importance. Ailyn’s plan is to use the Murder play “the six trials of larizad.” If the mayor is pleased he will invite the cast/crew back to his home for the party. This would give us time to explore the manor. Attractions: don’t need to hide from guards as guests. Respect as heroes/actors would give an advantage for getting information. Party has a rep for going long periods of time so we have time to find. We’d be expected to show up fully armed/armored. Shouldn’t take long before the mayor and his guard are drunk off their ass leaving us time and an excuse to explore the residence.

Gorby will be going with us to the mayor’s residence.

New Kid On The Block

Game notes 6/6

6/6/2010

Upon picking up, Red’s necklace appears to be glowing. The hellknights realize there’s been an open contract requested. One or more devils may be coming through to our plane. The sky appears to be un-naturally stormy and one party member notices a devil summoned from the lightning. We raced to the citadel of the rack.
Devil arrives at the citadel. He is surrounded by bearded devils and erynes. The priestess and devil talk through introductions and the flying devils flew up to the top of the citadel. Devil introduces himself as Duke Voius (the blah blah blah of the yadda yadda squared.) Contacted the ogre and he came to accept the contract with the devil.

The second round of devils came to the citadel. 15-20 bone devils arrived. Some sort of devil riding above them on a flying carpet. Female voice echos forth and the bone devils set forward. She created a pillar of flame that damaged everyone in the citadel. Bone devils teleported inside the citadel and assaulted the hellknights and us. Prayer provided bonus of “good” for purposes of damage reduction. Horned devil took amulet from Red and teleported away. Paralictor banished the remaining devils when about ½ were destroyed or had fled. Gained +1 fame point for westcrown. (Total of 6.)

Xp: 3000 (for three bone devils.)

A friend in need ...

Another artisan comes to our ghetto.The widow Jellikal and her daughter escaping the terrors of crazed rulers have started a small tailor's shop not far from Reds favorite alley way.
