Game Summary for Sunday Evening (02/14/2021): Opening Scene: It
is now 49 days into the adventure (since setting off in the Belle Venture), and
It is now: 6:30 am on September 11th
(Day 46 on the Isle of Dread). The party had just dealt with Bugbears and Yaun-Ti purebloods
that were guarding a jail and are now freeing the prisoners with the keys they
found on the guards, as the chained carrion crawler in the north corner of the
jail, watches hungrily from atop a pile of bones. The prisoners all thank the adventurers for freeing them and ask
where they are to go without getting caught again? The former prisoners are
told to follow them back to the mongrelmen compound. The former prisoners tell the party some were traveling on
merchant ships that were hi-jacked or simply plotting against the yuan-ti’s
rule. Being chained, it was easy to take out the carrion crawler.
Initiative rolls are made and Combat Round #01 begins: Xilicien, casted a Magic Missiles spell sending four of them at
the carrion crawler dealing 16 total force damage! Sheila, casted a Prayer spell, raising attack rolls and saves by
+1. Lo Shan, braved getting close to the and waps it hard with the
3-piece-rod dealing 4 bludgeoning damage, defeating the creature! End of Combat! The following day the adventurers heads for the market quadrant
of the Forbidden City, minus Zhora the barbarian whom had to duck out of the
city for a while. They come to a building, where smoke is seen coming out of two smoke stacks.
Roqar, simply opens a door near where the smoke stacks are and
peeks inside to see four Yaun-Ti half-bloods busily prepping food in a kitchen.
Then quickly closes the door quietly. The party quickly moves onwards to the
palace that is being refurbished, located in the southern center of the city. With no guards around Lo Shan moves to a door and has a listen,
rolling a 33% needing ≤ 35%, he did not hear anything beyond the door. The door
opens into a lavishly styled hall with green and white marble flooring. There are three Fire Newt Guards here. One guard says, “You
there at the door, what do you want? Are you a construction worker? No
sightseeing here!” Lo Shan says, “Yes, we are construction workers, told to find
out how much more work needs to be done in these rooms”. The Fire Newt guard says, “This half of the palace is mostly
done. Just awaiting furnishings. It’s the south building you should report to!” Lo Shan whispers, “Should we fight them?”, louder, “Let’s go to
the south building then.” Moving to the south building’s north double doors on it’s west
side, Lo Shan has a listen at the door rolling 14% needing ≤ 35%, he heard
nothing. So he looks for a trap, rolling 65% needing ≤ 50%, no trap is to
be found. He then moves to the west double doors on the west side and listens,
rolling a 47% needing ≤ 35%, he didn’t hear anything. So the door is opened in
to a reception hall with blue and white marble flooring. Hammering is heard
coming from the east side of the building. Lo Shan moves 60 ft across the hall to the double doors on the
east wall and opens them into a throne room, currently be worked on as workers,
(various humans, yuan-ti, mongrelmen, bugbears, tasloi and bullywugs, lay down marble flooring. Fire Newt Guard says, “Eh, looks like we have more workers
showing up today! Good, good, though I doubt you will be comfortable in armor!” Lo Shan says, “Boss sent us to take over for them, we have a lot
more experience and with the throne being here it needs to look good, so they
can all leave.” Fire Newt Guard says, “Is this authorized by the Lizard King
himself?! Let’s see the papers then as I was not informed of this sudden
change!” Lo Shan says, “He sent us himself, told us to come right over,
right now.” The Fire Newt Guard looks the group over with extreme doubt,
says, “Look, without proper authorization. I ask you all to be gone from the
palace at once!” Sheila says, “By the gods. A fire newt that can read, I thought
you were all illiterate.” Lo Shan says, “Boring conversation anyways.” The Fire New Guard
says, “I wasn’t hired to make small talk with troublemakers or sightseers.” Sheila says, “So your Mommy does not know who fertilized your
egg, right?” Lo Shan lets loose with a flying kick attack at Fire Newt #14,
who was not surprised, and missed! Sheila, pounds Fire Newt #14 for 20 double bludgeoning damage
with a critical roll of 20, with the magical +2 footman’s mace, defeating the
