Regrets?

Well, we manage to get out of this thief plagued city with a clear name, saved captives and information to pursue our quest. Unfortunately, the differences of the means to reach our goal that people are ready to use have appears in our group, to such an extend that Sarielle will part ways when we reach Mashport.
I had prepared a letter for the Captain of the guard in the event that we had to flee the city.
This was not the case as we had the opportunity to explain everything to the Captain and leave free of charges.
However, it was such a nice letter that I put it here:

My Dear Captain,

I have the regret to inform you that we have left your city despite your formal order not to do so.

As you may have learned, attempts at our lives have been made in broad daylight. Having been unsuccessful, they kidnapped our comrades staying at the inn, one of them having left dead in one of your street near the inn, while we were investigating to prove our innocence in the matter regarding the assault on the merchant Raukaus.
The kidnappers, a local criminal guild lead by a Halfling named longshamks and reporting to the infamous Rathos aka Bloodghost, threatened us to kill our comrades if we refuse to murder you.

We were cornered in a city that did not trust us and running out of options. We decided to fight. You may have heard about disturbances in the market district two nights ago, there was the guild hideout. We managed to leave with Longshanks but lost another comrade, an innocent renowned builder by the name of Mandin.

I have the regret that Lonshanks negotiated his freedom in exchange for the lives of our remaining comrades and information regarding our quest. As you may remember , we are tracking the pirates lead by Zakim who enslaved the elven villagers of Leavendale. I regret this because I could not bring this Halfling to justice. But you will surely agree that if our word is not good enough to prove our innocence in a merchant assault, it would have been unsufficient to bring down a notable of this city as a criminal guild master.

I have nothing to gain in explaining you this. I am truly ashamed that I cannot stay to clear my name because I have a higher motive right now. In the eventuality of me freeing the slaves without dying, I will come back and respond to whatever charges you will still hold against me.

As last words, I beg of you to be careful for your life. If the guild asked us to make a move against you, they will surely not stop there, especially if you intend to pursue your cleaning of your city.
In this, be wary of the sergeant that guarded the gate the day of our arrival and his crew, they are Longshanks men.

To conclude, we found the pirates contact in your city: the harbour master. he hides a list of possible target boats in a notebook hidden in a secret cache of his desk. We have discovered that the boat we intended to take is in this list. We are hiding in it and hope to repel a pirate attack and learn more to find the remaining elves.

With the hope that justice will prevail and honour regained,
Yours truly,

Tyrion

Session 22: Leaving Eyrie


In the cover of night, the group manages to board the Veronika's Fortune unseen. In the morning, some revelations offer new hope...

Sessions 20-21: The End of the Line

With Mandin dead and Longshank captured, the group's priorities begin to diverge... will their enemies use it against them?

Disaster at Fort Eyre

It seems wherever we go there is always something that bars our way. After having been able to free the slaves from the Towerat Poisson, through some gruelling trials against the Kruthiks, we planned on going to Fort Eyre with Mandin and his guards, grab a good nights rest before heading to Marshport to drop of the elves and Mandin's group and see where we would go from then on. As soon as we arrived in Fort Eyre things started getting sour, one of the guards at the gate tried to stir up some trouble and apparently we hit a nerve as they 'convinced' one of the merchants we had sold our kart to say we had beaten him and brought those charges to the Guard Captain. He put us under investigation, although with luck I think he was sensing something was up as I had told him that as a Cleric of Berronar I would never condone or allow such action to be undertaken. We weren't permitted to leave town, even after securing a ship that would bring us to Marshport and then further north past the Whitecaps. But it seems Evil forces were conspiring against us. After having talked to the Harbour Master regarding (Zhakiem) and the ship with brown sails, everything went from bad to worse. Ambushes were placed, with helpless women crying for help and turning on us when we came to the rescue, beggers looking at us with more than just eyes for our money, an Elite assasin tried to get rid of Leonardo and Tyrion who only with luck managed to escape and reach the city guards who chased the assasin away, Mandin and his guards were also kidnapped from the inn they were staying at, and worst of all we had to spend time in the sewers of Fort Eyre the smell worse than Gruumsh's own foul breath. Someone was spending a lot of effort to get rid of us, and we still had only an idea of where they would be located, in one of the houses near the market that had been scouted out by Adolfiel. After Mandin's capture we thought enough was enough, we devised a plan to try and get into this house and get back Mandin and his guards and stop this hunting of us once and for all.

Sessions 18-19: Dealing with Longshank

Having traced their troubles to a local criminal underboss, Tolg Longshank, the party agree to meet him. He then makes them an offer he thinks they can't refuse...
