Session 40

During the choir Siegbert wanders around and asks the local taverns folk if anyone of note came into his bar. Getting vague answers or people he already knew about Siegbert decides to head into the crowd. There he is able to befriend a dwarf named Dalagg Mirthbrewer. After a long conversation the dawi agrees the take Siegbert below the city with Kaspar. Unable to spot Siegward or Herbert in the crowed the two elect to leave them after the choir. Herbert and Siegward travel with Dieter and Kirsten to the horse fair where Herbert decides to travel off on his own.

Ava has a brief discussion with Waldor over who should keep the book, and although she retains ownership of it the two become much more distrustful of each other. Studying the book for several hours Ava is able to decode a message Bel-Ezan had left in the book, it reads

"Dear H I fear Purple is at work behind the throne. Follow the Drug dealer. The Palisades Protect."

Following Dalagg, Siegbert and Herbert travelled below the city, through the various walkways to the dwarven holds. They soon realises that without a guide they would be hopelessly lost in this labyrinth. Arriving at the Dwarf holds they were informed no human were allowed entry, though as friends of the dawi a bodyguard would lead them back to the surface. Darit Truewalker, a dwarf Ironbreaker, traveled with them and Dalagg to the surface, but something stirred in the shadows. They soon found themselves set upon by loathsome rat men!

Herbert wandered around the great park alone, taking in the sights and sounds of the carnival. It wasn't long before he felt a knife at his back and two men surrounded him, calling him Kastor. They led him to a secluded area before demanding to know where the money was. Herbert was saved by Ernests servant wielding a whip and a fight broke out. Herbert was able to gain some distance and drop bombs with his sling and rocks he had been collecting. Ernest's servant wasn't as successful and was badly stabbed but rescued by Herbert. The two ran off into the park and escaped.

Below the surface the Ironbreaker held off the majority of the Skaven while the rest engaged them in one on one duels. Although Siegbert and Kaspar came out on top of their fights, the Ironbreaker was taken down by a much larger, black furred Skaven with a Halberd. Dalagg, seeing his fellow dawi drop, charged forward and fended off the stormvermin(two crits in a row) while Siegbert and Kaspar handled the rest. They returned to the dwarven holds to get medical attention and return Darit's body. Siegbert was asked if he suffered a blow to the head as his eyes had become unnaturally bulgy. Realising this for the mutation it was Siegbert requested a blindfold, but the dwarf physician had non on hand. Being a thespian he did have a stage mask, that of a daemon, and handed Siegbert a fierce mask that represented a Bloodthirster. Unbeknownst to both of them, Siegbert had developed a second mutation, the ability to shriek like a bird. (Gaining the Distracting Creature Trait )
