Session 47

Kaspar meets back up with Seigward and the two discuss the days revelations. From there they make their way to the College of Music with Dieter and Kirsten. Siegward heads inside to fulfil his body guard duties and spies a number of important people inside. Luigi catches his eye and the two exchange a wave. Siegward also spots Josef Sparsam and notices that the Chancellor is rubbing his arm and his leg is moving rapidly. It doesn't take Siegward long to work out the man is in need of a drug fix.

Kaspar continues his search for clues and decides to head to the temple of Grungi. From here he see's numerous Dawi beginning to pack up their belongings and leave the city. None are keen to face the taxes at the end of the festival. Hes searches around for a dwarf he recognises and spots one before asking for help. He requests of the dwarf a map or run down of the undercity which, thanks to the dwarf liking him, he offers to fulfil Kaspar's request for 15 gold. Slightly outside his budget Kaspar wonders if the dwarfs could collapse some of the entrances before leaving. The Dwarf gives him a stern look before bursting out into laughter

"Way ahead of you laddie, we've already done it."

Somewhat happy he returns to the College of Music where he meets with Seigward. Seigward excuses himself to speak to the Chancellor and ask if he's concerned about anything but comes across as too aggressive. Josef assumes Seigward is looking for more money for helping him the other day and demands he leave him be! Seigward returns to the group to get his hours from Kirsten before he and Kaspar head to the College of Magic to meet with Ava.

Seigbert and Herbert are still out looking for Gothard Witgenstein. Heading to another warehouse they find this one locked and two guards stationed outside. Seigbert pretends to be an upper class valet and is with his master, Herbert. The demand to see Mr. Wittgenstein but the guards are unable to help. After some berating Seigbert is able to convince one of them to fetch Mr. Wittgenstein. He runs off and the other three wait for the better part of an hour. Trying to small talk the guard brings up Snotball but is immediately shut down by Seigbert, who continues his outrage at the delay. He convinces the second guard to go looking too and then only Seigbert and Herbert remain outside the warehouse. They wait for what feels like another hour before the first guard returns. He happily confirms that Mr. Wittgenstein is neither in the warehouses or his offices and as such, must be in his town house. Leaving angrily, the pair head back to Wittgensteins home and after a lot of knocking the same servant opens the door. Seigbert jumps back into his angry tirade and demands an audience with Mr. Wittgenstein before being cut off by the door closing. The two give up for the moment and head to the temple of Shallya.

Ava arrives at class early and has a discussion with Marianne. She impresses her by showing off the practice she has done and then brings up the beastmen attack that Marianne helped with. Ava tells her that they fought more beastmen in the sewers, though theses were much more nimble. After some discussion Ava is able to get Marianne to offer help if they ever plan to get into a fight again. During the class Ava practices for the evenings performance, noticing Misthausen's absence. After class, like most of the students, Ava returns to her room to prep for the evening. It's not long before she hears a knock on the door as Kaspar and Seigward have both arrived to her dorm, after Janna Blitzen allowed them entry to the College. Ava took the pair to the secret staircase where they caught each other up on everything that had happened. Planning to make moves later in the night Seigward got some rest when Seigbert and Herbert also arrived to Ava's dorm.

Herbert elected to keep and eye on Seigward while Kaspar and Ava search the library for some detail on the undercity. Seigbert took a stroll around the college before coming to the library and helping Ava and Kaspar, who at this point had been searching for an hour. Another hour passed and still nothing could be found on the undercity, it seemed wizards didn't care for organisation. Seigbert, secretly stole a book he deemed valuable and went to speak with Janna Blitzen. Initially their meeting was cold but explaining his position well(10 degrees of success) Seigbert was able to convince the Deputy High Wizard to speak to him. They exchanged all they knew and Janna could offer little to help Seigbert but what she knew of court politics. She promised him the colleges support if they could get hard evidence of what treachery was afoot. As a sign of peach he revealed he had stolen the book from the library. Janna mutter that perhaps he wasn't that different from Ava and demand he leave in a polite manner. Back at the library, for the third hour the pair found nothing but Kaspar did open one book for a map to fall out. It was a map of Middenheim, and although not the undercity like they hoped, it would be useful to them(1 degree of failure).
