The Party
- Maran Maraka (Half-Elf Bard) – Mark C.
- Nihl (Dragonborn Monk) – Kasey
- Villitch Von Velckha (Aasimar Paladin) – Ross
In the broad daylight of late morning, the party appeared in front of the Friendly Goblin in Ludinium, or half the party did: Gilbert, Rosetta and Zabrina were nowhere to be seen. Exhausted from their exposure to the intense heat of the place they had just escaped from, Maran, Nihl and Villitch checked into the inn for some much-needed rest.
Villitch took protective custody of the Decahedron. Before he could fall asleep, however, he felt the presence of an observer and, believing it to be Meddevin scrying on him, apologized to the wizard and invited him to come take the Decahedron.
That evening, after spending the day resting, Maran spun a song to the patrons of the Friendly Goblin about their recent adventure that was such an immediate (critical) hit, the bar was packed by the time he finished, calling for an encore!
The heroes were later approached by Ona Cambie, a Tiefling adventurer looking for heroes to stop a cult this very midnight. As the hour approached, Ona took the adventurers to meet Terence Magritte, the Master Thief of Ludinium, who led them into an ambush with a large gang of thugs.
Ona’s Tiefling disguise melted away to reveal a Cambion intent on seizing the Decahedron, but the heroes put up a good fight and killed her while the Master Thief ran away. At the end of the fight, they noticed a weird, golden clockwork orb-creature observing them but it disappeared when it saw it had been spotted.
