Session 36

After discovering Dieter was under an influence the group began to question him to figure out what was wrong. It seemed Dieter could not remember his conversations about taxes and had a glazed look about him whenever they were brought up. Kirsten was horrified to discover this and Dieter went up stairs to rest. Kirsten gave Seigber, Siegward and Kaspar a letter to allow them into the Royal Gardens to find Luigi Pavaroti. Ava returned to the college of magic while Herbert stayed in the house as a guard. At the gardens the trio found Luigi with two chicken drumsticks, one in each hand, talking the ear off a rather unfortunate noble woman who was stuck holding his drink. No sooner had the group distracted Luigi, she had run off. After explaining his talents were needed Luigi set off with the group back to Dieters estate.

There Luigi confirmed that Dieter was indeed hypnotised and set about reversing the action. After darkening the room and spending some time putting Dieter under Luigi let the group ask Dieter some questions. From these they learned that Dieter was hypnotised in the Showboat by a woman named Charlotte. After being taken from the hypnosis Luigi left the group to go about his business but admitted it was rather intriguing. He also offered to help in any way possible, Herbert requested a hypnotism session with him to get his memory back. Luigi agreed and they planned to meet the next day at 5. Dieter was furious and almost worked himself up to storm out of the house. Kirsten, afraid for her sisters and herself mentioned she'd need to acquire a body guard. Siegward offered his services and Kirsten agreed, paying him for the week and informing him where they'd be tomorrow.

Returning to the Ogres Gut Plate Siegbert had a phenomenal performance to the cheers of the crowed. Ava informed Janna Blitzen who chastised her for speaking about this so openly. Though admitted it was concerning news.

The next day the group set out for some morning routines with Kaspar catching rats and the others prepping for challenges with the champion. Ava also arrived to challenge Dieter, but given last nights news Dieter was in no mood and promptly ended the combat. He did this time and time again, besting everyone who challenged him. Ava left for class while the rest went to the archery tournament. Kaspar who had been catching rats met with the at the archery.

Allavandrel did not compete today, having already secured his spot regardless of todays outcomes. Herbert fared exceptionally well, hit impressive shot after impressive shot. Kirsten pointed out a few nobles to Siegward and Siegbert before introducing them to Petra. Herbert and Kaspar were approached by the same man that Siegward and Siegbert had spotted eyeing him up the day before. He mentioned his employer was looking for a hunter and would like to meet later at five. Having already made an apointment with Luigi Herbert requested that it be moved back an hour. The servant agreed and informed him the location would the the Showboat.
