Session 2.5

Setting: Outside the Temple

PCs: Rhaine

NPCs: Hope

Rhaine is keeping an eye on the crowd while Mykiela and Durzo are inside the Temple. While scanning, he spots a beautiful Tielfing handing out bread, as she walks over to Rhaine. She takes note of the emblem of the Order of Valor on his chest and introduces herself. She asks him to visit the Jade Lion Casino tonight, where she and her sister are headliners.

Setting: Jade Lion Casino

PC: Rhaine

NPCs: Ebenezer, Hope

Rhaine meets a little Goblin male sitting on a high stool outside the casino, named Ebenezer. He allows him in, and runs to find Hope. Hope leads Rhaine up a set of stairs that lead to her private chambers. She tells him that someone broke in the night before, and stole an amber pendant that belongs to her family. She offers 200gp for its return. She also mentions that she remembers seeing him in the streets when they both lived in Gale.

Rhaine looks for clues and find scuff marks on the balcony, leading to the front door of the casino. He questions Ebenezer, who saw a man fall to the street the night before and limp over to the Inn. He makes his way to the Inn, and eventually to a door where he hears voices arguing about getting paid, and leaving on the next ship back home. They open the door to find Rhaine waiting for them, and a quick fight ensues. He quickly dispatches them with the butt of his weapons, and questions them. They tell him someone named Mang hired them.

Rhaine returns to the Jade Lion and gives the pendant back to Hope. When questioned, she tell him that Mang was the name of the woman starting to make a name for herself in the Amber Blossom Syndicate back in Gale.

Setting: Thunder Dome

PC: Rhaine

NPCs: Elanys, Tilo

Rhaine returns to the Order of Valor Headquarters to get some rest. When he awakes the next morning, he finds a note from Elanys asking him to meet the others at the Thunder Dome. There’s also a flyer advertising the championship matches.

He meets Elanys there, who tell him the rest of the group just fought preliminary matches and made it to the next round. Rhaine fights, and easily defeats an un-experienced fighter. Elanys and Rhaine leave the Dome together and search for the rest of the party. They see Durzo and Mykiela dragging a dead body to the temple.
