Session 20 - In Search of the Brothers of the Seven

Fireday Lamashan 11 around 10am

After getting away from the diseased area around the Misgivings, the group rested. Then they decided to head to Magnimar to identify and sell some of the items they had acquired, and then to follow up on the clues they had found.

They arrived in the city later in the day and decided to find an inn and take a much needed rest. They checked into the same inn they stayed at the first time in Magnimar and had a large dinner, bathed and slept.

Starday Lamashan 12 around 8am

After a good breakfast, they headed out to the Golemworks to sell off some of their magic items they didn't need and then maybe purchase some they wanted. They also checked in with Justice Ironbriar. An addition murder had taken place the other night, so they knew it couldn't have only been Aldern killing people. Armor they had found at the Misgivings was owned by a bandit wanted in town so they turned it in as evidence and collected the reward.

Sunday Lamashan 13 around 8am

The party decided to check out Aldern's townhouse. The got directions and travelled to the house. Phain used the Hat of Disguise they found to look a little more like Aldern in case anyone got suspicious. They used the key they found and went inside. Hogie was too big to fit so he stayed outside.

When they got inside, there was a butler that greeted Aldern but was confused as he thought that he was in the other room with his wife. The butler went and got the other Aldern and Iesha, his wife. Everyone was very confused, Aldern because someone was in his house disguised as him, and the party as they had killed Aldern. They decided to move into the study and talk with Aldern alone to try and figure out what happened. Xantumal stayed outside with Hogie.

While describing what happened at the Misgivings, Phain, Budwar and Orik was surprised by the butler and Iesha. They attacked Phain wounding him greatly, then after they hit him they changed into a vaguely humanoid featureless form. Budwar attacked the one nearest him, drawing its attention away from Phain, but the other one knocked Phain unconscious as well as what was Aldern attacking as well. Budwar called upon Torag to smite these creatures while healing Phain. Orik and Budwar battled the monsters while Phain retreated and used some ranged spells. Xantumal heard the battle from outside the house and broke down the locked door to come in and help. At the end of the battle Orik was knocked unconscious as well but Budwar felled the last one and healed him back to health.

They party got the door fixed and searched the house and found a hidden compartment in the fireplace mantle. In it were the deeds to the Misgivings as well as the townhouse. Also there were notes that Aldern was to drop off payments for his debt every week to the Seven's Sawmill.

Moonday Lamashan 14 around 8am

Asking around town, they found the location of the sawmill, and staked it out. They spent most of the day watching the business noticing that the traffic going in and out looked legitimate. Phain climbed up the outside of the building with his spider climb boots, but noticed no windows to enter and view inside, and no weakness in the roof.

The party decided they could wait another day and come up with the a plan to break in, since they did not know whether or not the workers would be part of the "Brothers of the Seven" or clueless of who they work for.
