Session 57

The group began the session by descending into the sewers. Ava lit a light for Siegbert while Siegward's nerves were wrecked by the tight space(failed fear roll into resolve burn). They spent some time down here mapping out and exploring the area, venturing down small tunnels and navigating the main sewers. As a group they came into contact with bats(which Siegbert swung at, missed and then hit Ava), mold, a creature that moved in the water(they double backed quickly when it was spotted), cave ins and the iconic duo of Hans and Heins. Siegward questioned the two what they were up to and it seemed they were selling rotgut at the festival, using the tunnels as means of getting them around to various taverns without getting caught by the watch. After a while down here and finding no sign of corpses that they were looking for they gave up and returned to the surface.

Siegbert and Siegward both ventured on to the palace to get set up for the Chancelor, Josef Sparsam's, meeting with the blond woman. The streets were filled with people due to the riots going on in the west of city. Siegward was able to grab a watchman and ask what was the cause of the riots. It seemed a Lector of Sigmar had been killed in the streets near the temple of Shallya. The Church of Sigmar blamed the Ulricians while the followers of Ulric believed this to be a set up by the Sigmarites to destroy their city. Fierce fighting soon broke out and the watch is barely able to contain the riots. A sinking feeling filled Siegwards stomach as thoughts that this might be the same Lector he requested to go there.

At the palace the two gained entry by being friends with the Knights Panther guards and set up just outside Sparsams room as it was locked. Meanwhile Ava and Kaspar visited a barber surgeon to get some of their wounds looked at. After being seen to and charged their pair made their way to the Palace where they spotted a blond woman waiting outside with the two Knights Panther guards. Hanging back, a coach soon appeared and Sparsam got out. The woman handed him a bag before departing. Figuring this was their mark, Ava and Kaspar sought to follower her. She led them to a old dilapidated looking house, at which she knocked nine times before entering. Kaspar stood guard while Ava went back to get the others.

As Sparsam neared his room Siegbert and Siegward approached him. They learned that he had already met with the woman and she had left. Cursing, Siegbert rushed past the Chancelor and Siegward followed him. The Knights Panther guard were able to point the two in the right direction but couldn't give specifics. This was enough however as they ran into Ava near the college of magic as well as her teacher Marianne, who was leaving the building at the time. They managed to convince Marianne to follow them which she was very sceptical of. She kept reminding Ava of the upcoming performance in less than three hours. The four soon met with Kaspar who was still outside the house and confirmed no one had left.

Herbert woke up to a bag being torn off his head and Ernest staring at him.

"Hello old friend, I supposed it's time I told you everything".
