- Resumed after defeating the "old lady". He turned out to be just a human man
- Investigated and picked up items
- Tzon said Hi to 4 baddies and then ran away. I taunted them and we beat them. Aurelia seemed annoyed about my taunting
- Cassandra has a cute bird
- Find a guy (Klim) being tortured (very non artistically. lame)
- we battle. One guy opens up a secret tunnel and runs into it. All the baddies seem to be trying to stay out of the water
- Aurelia goes down and a bunch of energy bursts out form her
- Skraps shakes down Klim who is of the Guthmir family. Cassandra? pays 10 gold to get the keys from skraps. Lets him down and whispers something to him before sending him on his way
Aurelia isn't handling going down very well. Tzon gives Skraps 5 gold to not have to be on the front line. We take a short rest.
Aurelia has been victorious in all of her organized fighting. Tzon does a bunch of pushups. He doesn't weave much anymore. Skraps talks to Lily about her relationship with Cassandra. Lily lets Skraps know she wont be giving him money, but maybe one day would give him "more" *winkwink*. Skraps is a bit disappointed that he failed to kill both parents. I investigate the torture area for insight into their torture stuffs. Shackles have been used a lot. But all in all just kind of amateur. not even shackles on the altar. The statue in the corner is just kind of welded.
Skraps checks out the water. He can't deduce anything so he wades in. The water goes up to his chin. No way to drain the water, but does see in the back of the room he sees cracks in the limestone where water has been seeping in from. It seems to be sewage. Aurelia and Lily go back and collect some barrels to form a raft. I pour the viscera that was in one of the barrels into the statue. I pick up Cassandra and Tzon and we go into the water. Lily and Aurelia ride the raft. Skraps wades in again.
We check out the secret door. We go down into its tunnel. There appears to be a body floating in the water about 120 feet down. All the torches are out. But as we go down Tzon lights them as we go. We hear a bunch of sounds of fighting to the south. the body is that of Klim. I pull out Klim's tusks to return to his family.
We arrive at a room with a small island in it. 2 people on it fighting. One is huge and is towering another. The other is muscular and barechested but he doesn't have any flesh covering his skull. He wields a blade.
The smaller guy sees us and then runs up into another room. The large guy puts his hands up and claims that he was betrayed and that he owes us his life. He is called Mortlock Vanthampur . He is related to one of the dukes of BG. He is her son. He is tolerated by his mom, but despised by his brothers. The other guy is called Vaas, a death's head of bhaal. He said his mother is paying the dead 3 to murder people in the city. The goal is to prove the flaming fist can't do its job. She wants to become the grand duke. If she succeeds baldurs gate might be next to go into the hells. She convinced ravenguard to go off to elturel. Something about Thavius Kreeg???? Mortlock's other brother, Thirstwell, runs a money lending business. His other brother probably knows we are here because he has spies in the bathhouse. Mortlock killed all people who are floating in the water.
We head up to fight Vaas. But he gets the drop on us. In one room is 3 painted statues. They have stuff I can't fucking keep up. Its for sure the dead 3 though. The other room has crates in it. We win. Aurelia gets the final blow and is covered in blood. I tell her its a good look on her, but for a moment she looks panicked? Lily checks out the statues. The Bane one seemingly forced her to kneel. I search Vaas's corpse. I find a dagger and a holy of symbol of Bhaal. I give Skraps the dagger. Skraps and Tzon chuck torches at the statues. Skraps hits the Myrkuul one and feels a shiver. He throws another and then hears creepy ass laughter in his head. We investigate the crates. 6 of them are empty except for straw. 3 of them contain 10 days of rations, a bag of 20 caltrops, 3 flasks of alchemist's fire, 6 sets of manacles, 4 tinderboxes, 9 daggers, and finally 4 potions of healing.
We check out a treasure room to the south. 4 padlocked wooden chests. Chest 1: has 4,500 copper, 2 potions of fire breath. Chest 2: I smash open, 10 eye agates (10gp each), 1250 silver now scattered. chest 3: delicate porcelain dragon mask (25 gp), 2400 cp and 500 silver. chest Chest 4 bronze crown with 5 spires each spires are each shaped like each of the chromatic dragons (250 gp).
