Plot Summary

Miassharra version:

Crow and Cyan formed a contact with a satyr.  He can get/make fey-crafted weapons.  Cyan traded his cloak of resistance for some gloves that glow.  Miassharra contacted the Dreaming Apothecary, who are working on adding "Easy Travel" to her armor.  That will take 2 weeks.

The party decided to try a small job while they were waiting on the armor.  They remembered the bit about killing ratmen, as well finding the lost girl.  They decided to go after the girl instead of the rats (the price had gone up to 4gp/rat, but it was still too small).  The reward for finding the girl had gone up to 400gp, but an adventuring group called "The Six" had gone after her a few weeks ago, and disappeared.  Even though the trail had long gone cold, the party decided it wouldn't hurt to look, plus they might find something worthwhile while doing so.

The party heard that the girl disappeared in an intersection with several large grates to the sewers.  Also, there were reports of ratmen appearing in this area.  The party started looking around, and encountered several groups of ratmen, which they easily defeated.  They also met a few groups of masons repairing sections of the sewers, always guarded by one or more adventurers.  We found a member of "The Six" buried under a partially collapsed wall.

The "big" discovery was a large room, access to which was provided by a caved-in wall.  The room was filled with trash and excrement.  It was also filled with ratmen, dire rats, and swarms of normal rats.  The party chose not to fully explore one section of the cave, which had a 4 foot ceiling, as well as 2 feet of waste, and hundreds of rats.  The was another room with a table and chest.  The chest contained another member of "The Six."  There was the back of a secret door in that room - it connected to the sewers on the other side.  In the final room they investigated, they found a huge dire rat and several ratmen.  After fighting off this disgusting menace, the party found... nothing.

Also, somewhere along the way, we found another dead member of "The Six" (or at least their ID papers).

Loot

8 rat tails at 4 gp a piece. (I said we all get 15 sp... my brain apparently stops working after 10.  We should all get 8gp)

3 sets of identity papers from an adventuring group called "The Six"

Discussion

Cyan: [IC] While sitting and resting for a few minutes after the latest brutal slaying of the rat infestation Cyan shows off his new gloves to his party members, watching as their eyes alight with wonder at their magnificence. The gloves seem tailor fit to Cyan's massive hands. They are a black velvet in texture and show no signs of being soiled even after spending time crawling through sewage, trash and decaying, partially devoured corpses. Within the velvety confines of the gloves, twinkles of starlight can be seen as if they, the gloves, are home to the vast expanses of the universe. By calling on those heavenly entities, Cyan can bring forth Silvery radiance to light his surroundings. Cyan has yet to use another of their arcane abilities, having not found an appropriate time yet.

Cyan speaks some of his thoughts aloud, "I have the oddest feeling that there is more to these gloves than meets the eye. Of course they are splendid in their own right but I will have to devote much thought, time,and research to uncover their inner mysteries."

Crow: [IC] "They are truly impressive accoutrements, but I thought you weren't allowed to have nice things. In any case, I have...things to attend to on Emerald Hill. I'll meet all of you at the Ghostly Minstrel in a week. If you need to find me, ask the squirrels."

"Try not to get yourselves killed. And someone track down that shaman and pull Jacob's head out of his ale mug."

Cyan: [OOC] Uh..aren't we in the middle of the sewer somewhere far from the surface looking for that little girl? Are you just leaving the rest of us down here to search for her or are we all going topside and I just missed that last week?

Crow: [OOC] We finished searching that part of the complex but didn't find anything else and headed back to the surface. Pretty sure we're out of leads on the girl. We've got the ID papers, so we should turn them in at the Delver's Guild and see what happens. Hopefully we've put a dent in the ratmen ranks so fewer people will disappear, but I think we can do more good facing tougher enemies.
