Introduction

We continue at 12:30PM on the 19th of Denrilden (00.000.09.12 on the Apocalypse Clock) with the party setting off from the Haberdasher's Guildhouse to continue their hunt for Bavmorda. Their next stop is the jail from which the half-orc assassin escaped, hoping to find some clue about where she went or who might be aiding her. Is there a conspiracy amongst the admiral's council against Lysander's seer? Can the group trust anyone in Armada? Is Velkin's hat cursed or just really ugly? The correct answers are: maybe, no, and all of the above.

We work our way towards the jail from the Haberdasher's Guild Hall.

Along the way we get lunch. Khelratha buys some onions, but can't find hot peppers or lemons.

Going to the market Khelratha sees a mother with a child and a sign indicating her husband is missing and they have no food. Khelratha gives her his 2nd loaf of fresh bread and the gold and silver for his change from two loaves of bread and onions with a 60 gp gem. She gives her husband's name and her name and their child's and tell us he was doing unsanctioned salvage work in the Dead Forest. Khelratha tells her we have a friend lost there who if we have time to seek him, we might find her husband but make no promises.

We then go to the market looking for a mortar & pestle and a hand bellows. The orc alchemist Cresida offers to mash up the 4 large onions from Khelratha and put the juice in two vials we provide and wraps up the mush. At Velkin's suggestion she adds a caustic agent that could be used in a topical treatment for arthritis or to strip paint.

We then visit the jeweler Caspar and pay one year of rent so he doesn't lose his place and he agrees to go with us if we can keep him Safe. Khelratha seems to think we can to this by putting he and his family in the portal. Caspar has a bellows and is OK to let us borrow it so he doesn't have to pack it. Khelratha accepts it.

On the way to the jail, a yellow hat in a long snoopy type hat acting like he is fishing stops us and tells us they know we are going to the Inquisitorial Library and wants to know if we have plans to interfere with his mater, Beelzeubub's control of Gharmarost. If we don't they are amenable to giving us free passage through the city to the Inquisitorial Library to make Belial look bad since the library was taken from Beelzebub's authority and he wants to make Belial look bad. Belial is tasked to find us and can't seem to do it.

The yellow hat is here by chance and when he learned of Bavmorda's presence knew that Bavmorda could be a useful weapon, just ask Asmodeus, since it was Bavmorda who struck the blow to free him.

Bavmorda is a killing machine to use when people need killing. The yellow hat wouldn't say who needed to be killed, but gave enough clues we suspect that it is the Seer.

If we stop Bavmorda it will make the yellow hat look bad and he will tell his master to not welcome us and they will kill us on sight. If we don't stop Bavmorda we might get help to get to the library and only have to fight there.

Yellow hat urged us to sign a contract and not stopping Bavmorda must be in the contract.

When Yellow hat left we got to the jail, after Velkin popped into the barber shop for some beard oil for Jardin.

At the jail we found the cell difficult to escape by shadow stepping. We questioned one prisoner who described a noise and manacles falling off and doors being unlocked, which sounds like a knock spell.

The first prisoner mentioned another prisoner, Tomas, who is the last one to see Bavmorda and she met up with someone who led her away.

Tomas heard someone who said that they were a priest of Lysander sent by the seer and told Bavmorda about her impending execution, etc. but then got quiet and whispered. The guard we were dealing with saw this priest and said he wor a hat under his hood, which is unusual. We suspect the yellow hat. The priest gave a name, brother Lagi.

It is now about 5:00 PM with an hour till sunset. It is about 20 minutes to the temple at the center.
