More shortness

I missed last week. I'm sure there is a reason but I don't remember it. Thus this week there will be two recaps rolled into one. I'll try to keep them manageable.

After our intrepid performers had a good night's rest they woke to enact their plan of pretending to leave the city. They quickly packed their bags and loaded up their cart. As they hitched up their donkey and left the Sky Serpent Inn they noticed that their performing schedule had been replaced by a blank wooden sign. They made a reasonable show of leaving the town as their cart bumped its way out into the vineyards that surrounded the town of Douxfield. After much debate they decided to hide their cart in a vineyard with a large barn. They hide it very very well. Then the session ended as people had to go. Short session but generally accomplished.

Starting out the next week our players split up to sneak back into the city to attract less attention. Prosepon and Berenwick went in a laborer's gate to bed down Seene, their donkey while Onala, Tin, and Nessa. Prosepon and Berenwick lead off by heading to find a stable for the donkey. They quickly found a place to bed down Seene but Berenwick noticed a gnome watching them. When he looked again the gnome had vanished. They got suspicious but headed on towards the Dancing Bear. They hoped they would find a riot so they could tail the rioters back to their lair. Their plan succeeded somewhat. There was a riot at the Dancing Bear. However the rioters were nearly making progress against the bouncers when Berenwick attempted to even the odds with a color spray. The mob was unaffected but came after Berenwick. Berenwick and Prosepon attempted to split up but the mob nearly caught Berenwick. Prosepon came to his aid and cracked a lot of heads with her brass knuckles. Berewick downed a few with his rapier. They weren't able to follow any of them as they were in a mess at their feet. Prosepon and Berenwick left the scene to avoid suspicion. However they did see the gnome again, watching them.

Onala, Tin, and Nessa headed for the Hammer and Pint to see if the girl's father was released. The staked out the tavern for a few minutes then went inside. Inside they found a standard looking tavern with booths around the edges and tables in the middle. Off in an alcove in an 'L' shape behind the bar a group of gnomes and a lone human male sat. They ordered their food and after a time the fake server girl (they never got her name) showed up. She walked over to the table and talked to the gnomes. Then she left with the human male. They assumed he was her father. Onala, Nessa, and Tin debated following them but decided to enjoy a meal instead.

That was when we had to break and where we'll pick up on Saturday.
