Game 2: We Made Some Friends

 

In the immediate aftermath of the Aegis Trials, our Nobles eavesdropped on the Aegis kids. Learned a little more about them. Lady Downe took the very bold step of approaching the Kurshahn Twins directly. Discovered that they were pretty normal kids, a friendly duo. All went out drinking at the Hazy Spoon. It was discovered that:

• Lord DeLaFontaine speaks fluent Arkhoun, and joined Goren Kurshahn for a rousing Arkhounian drinking song.
• Lady Raine Downe can not only sing, but can also dance.
• She cannot hold her liquor, unfortunately
• The Twins were of unusual parentage, their dad being a tiefling (and a monk?) while their mother is an academic of a species known as Yuan-Ti. Which somehow is meant to explain their slightly forked tongues, yellow snake eyes, and ability to spit out a poison cloud.
• Yn, unfortunately, was still recovering from the melee through all this.

The Nobles returned to the Lookout, and when joined by Mordin pestered him with questions, whereby they learned:

• Pagovian gig is to investigate an ambulatory Empty Soldier (MaeNendrith) in the city of Ostrosa.
• This MaeNendrith is, reportedly, not currently causing any problems.
• Someone or some-ones is gunning for Lady Downe, or for Mordin, or for all Pagovians...or for all of the above.

Upon laying down to rest, our intrepid heroes were assaulted by scurrilous blackguards with ill intent. Two were dispatched by the Nobles, and tough guy Yn recovered in the nick of time, viciously dispatching a third villain and inflicting unknown trauma upon his compatriots. (see 'Viscera Wall')

Explorator Mordin, taking his responsibilty to train and protect quite seriously, Called In A Favor. The crew were transported by magic to the coastal town of Eastrock in Osmen, with the plan of hiring a ship to take them closer to Ostrosa.
