Session 25 Notes

Once they were revealed, Val and Thorne were quickly thrown into a cell despite Thorne's threats of extreme (face-skinning-oriented) violence. Yglesia meanwhile had a nice chat with a hooded figure in a heavy cloak and a disney-style wizards hat. The figure, Bristan, delivered the secret message of 'cheese danish with pear cordial' to deaf ears, and then figuring there weren't many dragonborn around told Yglesia that Fennel had sent Bristan to find the group. Yglesia says first they have to get some folks out of the pens. Across Mirabar, Darsk and Guil send Thorne a message and Thorne tells them to come to the pens for 'not party time'.

In the pens, Val's plan of turning everyone into rats to escape the cage is politely declined by Thorne ("ew no"). Thorne and Val then meet some other prisoners, Uthgart folk that have been penned for about a day. They tell how elves(?) came and destroyed the village. One named Calder explains they are 'people of the plain', from Ten Towns, an area north of Luskan. They know of Dungar's family and lineage.

Bristan distracts the guards with a thunderclap and Yglesia gets to the cell and finds it locked. Thorne comes over and unlocks it from the inside (maybe? Tom isn't sure). Guil and Dungar head to the pens with great plans A (bribe the guards with cocktails) and B (molotov cocktails). Sadly plan A works with Dungar disguised as Everald, and the cart makes it's way in and reunites the group. Dungar chats with Uthgart prisoner Ustis (Griffon's Nest is a smouldering ruin, the attackers knew our codes and calls, not sure which way Rural went), then tells her to take the cart and take the refugees out north of Luskan. The Killers find Bristan and Thorne (who had wandered off), and Bristan leads everyone down to the Cutlass. There Bristan tries a secret knock on a side door and is surprised when no one answers. The door is unlocked, so the group enters an office similar to Aureliens, but less organized and more bloodied. They find a number of documents with hasty handwriting (clues here? ashmadai? connections? houses involved?). While a few go ask the barkeep some questions, Dungar and Guil perform "Cups to Uthgart" on stage as Dungar looks for the Uthgart folk they had previously seen strolling around town.
