We found a birthmark on the girl, in the shape to the right. Cheval checked and reported, also, that she was 'clean' (i.e. unmolested). We discussed the best solution for the girl, and returning her to her guardian that hired us. Kekitat discovered his ability to channel his St.'s power and heal others. Otto spoke with her, and ensured that this girl is indeed Danna. Her last name is Etherin, Toman is her father, and she was asked if she knew a Migos Foraeth, and she said no. The group opted, retardedly, to take her home. She knew where she lived based on the Spice Market, so we decided to start her there, so she could be returned from that point. A man graciously allowed me to make 2CP off Otto because a dog made off with his other shoe.
On Vadarast St. we found a group of guards questioning a male halfling, early middle age, with a cloth tunic. They were accusing him of thievery and patting him down. We then headed up Dead Orc Ln and at Hemp St. we found her house. Her father seemed happy to see her. 24SP and 5GP for reward. Kekitat gave the family the amount of the reward back out of his money to allow them to get out of town. The father said there were relatives SW that they could go live with and/or visit. Otto and Mulwrit are going to be disguising themselves as the girl and father to try and lure out more of this conspiracy. Otto got a 'receipt' from the father, to prove that the girl has been returned.
The night passed uneventfully, despite Otto's efforts. Apparently, we did see some large dogish faced beings with two bags over their shoulders. It is now the 6th of the month, as we head out. We found a centaur and a human female that were Fateweavers (as designated by a shaven head and an infinity symbol on their forehead). Most seem to believe that the Fateweavers are bogus and such, but a few believe they have links to actual powers. I offered 4CP to the centaur to read my fate. I asked 'Will I be able to return my family's prominence?' His answer was 'Your sails have caught the right wind, but this wind only blows South.' I gave him an additional 1SP as a tip, and we continued on toward the Black Swan to try and retrieve the reward offered.
On the way, we encountered Longdraught Bitter Ale brewery. It seems that the vats are fueled by alchemical fire. The rest of the group was far more interested in this building than I, so they simply wandered and I waited for them to get into trouble. Again. We then departed, and continued on toward the bar. On the way, we witnessed a silver dragon swooping overhead and heading off toward the Spire. We found the bar and inside were several dwarves that were singing merrily along. Otto confronted Migos, and we discovered that he was going to have to have us come back at closing to retrieve our reward. Otto ended up dragging Kekitat into it as well, to intimidate the bartender to get our reward. Closing of the bar theoretically happens at midnight.
Otto, Kekitat, Cheval and I went to the Administration Building to find out how owns the various buildings that are of interest to us in Ptolus (Toridan Cran owning the house at the end of Nar Rd., the 'Haunted House', and Tomin Etherain's house). Tomin's house is owned by himself. The Peyton House has no immediate owner and a claim of inheritance from Lack Peyton as of last month. The value of the Peyton House is 2500GP currently, listed as a 2BR with full basement. Re: Toridan Cran, he's listed as owning 3 home (on Nar St.) and 3 warehouses (5 of which are on Nar, with one warehouse on Able), has a minor criminal record. I submitted the paperwork for filing the claim for the Peyton House, using my full noble title, and bribed (15GP) to have it shoot to the upper stack of paperwork to be considered. We have to be at Inquest on 23rd of New Year to prove our claim, and if Lack doesn't show up our claim will be proven that much faster and easier.
Grundric took the rattails to St. Gustav's and received 6 Remove Disease potions and 24GP for the tails. He then relayed information to Kekitat that Phon had been released the previous day to go about her life again.
Mulwrit departed for the library.
We met up with Mulwrit at the library again, after his 'fruitless' search. We then agreed to go investigate the basement of Peyton House (soon to be my house), so we can start figuring out where the rats are coming from. We opted to go South, trying to find a means of reaching Delver's Guild. After about 100' we found a main channel area, with 5' ledges, 20' wide tunnel, with stone bridges across the sewer system proper every so often. We then found a rung series up and to a grate that opened up near the Temple of Melann, the goddess of farming at Chalice Rd. and Starchild St. We continued going South, and found a 30degree downangle where the sewage continues and falls over a cliff edge and falls into the river. We descended the stairs to continue exploring the area, going a total of about 300' of stairs and we encountered a door that was mostly rusted shut, and the lock was indeed rusted solid. Beyond was a room with 20' ceilings and 20' width, where Grundric is attacked by Green Slime. We survived the encounter after Grundric got his face cleaned off by Otto's scimitar and a Magic Missile from me, with Kekitat and Mulwrit and Grundric coming up with the solution of a Molatov Cocktail (?) on the ceiling to kill the upper slimes and the floor slime was killed by the drippings of fire.
Heading back to the Peyton (Reqqast) House to heal up and prepare better for future slime attacks. We spent a few hours cleaning the house and attempting to repair the front door. At a suitable time remaining, we headed back to the Black Swan. Upon talking with Migos, it became clear from his statement that 'The Bell Tolls' that the group are in fact The Tolling Bell Cult. Migos and Kekitat would not back down, and it was obvious that death was in fact in the air. Through only a few rounds, most of the bad folk died. Kekitat and Otto ended up on fire because of a Burning Hands spell cast by Migos. Spent 1AP to hit random baddie. Received 475XP for all the death and doom brought.
