			Lady Summers is shown in the party is suspicious & Roderigo is elected to sap her until
			she can be examined. He fails first attempt but succeeds on the 2nd time. Saurus saps
			Roderigo believing he has attacked Lady Summers. Lady Summers when revived tells
			how she was kidnapped but seems very well disposed towards her kidnappers.

			Ash is DA’d by Sera – nothing is revealed. We go to the guard house after hearing that a
			Partisan has been captured. Having to leave weapons at the door it takes Sven about 10
			hours to unload his loot. The Partisan tells how he knew Blood as a teenager. He spent a
			lot of time traversing the thief’s highway –(tunnels under the city) He was well dressed.
			He disappeared about 40 years ago. Blood’s family is not known. He agrees top show us
			where the thieves’ highway is. We meet a very old looking thief. The vampire left the
			Court at the same time that Blood appeared.

			Toadstool believes that Blood has taken over the thieves guild. We are shown the
			entrance to thief’s highway on the map by a large tree in the Vellum (family?) grounds.

			We are in the attic of a building across the road overlooking the Vellum estate grounds.
			There is a gazebo, herb garden, many trees, paths and we can see a hole near to some
			trees. There is a big manor house to the right from where we are.

			Roderigo casts walk unseen on himself. Suarus loans him some poison powder. He climbs
			the walls and scouts around the grounds. He mixes some food with poison and leaves out
			for the dogs. One appears to eat the poisoned food the other two parcels are ignored. A
			dog appears to notice Roderigo and he bails out.

			We question one of the occupants of the house who is a servant at the Velum family. She
			tells us. It is a very proper family. The Lord forbids the name of “Blood”. Blood left due
			to a scandal. Blood found a secret place and spent a lot of time there. He was not
			interested in the family business. Blood was handsome. There are rumours that Blood
			was involved in an uprising in the peasant’s quarter. The Lady of the House does not like
			the Sun. Keeps heavy drapes.
			We watch all night and during the day.

			===Day 16===

			The party gets bored it ends up Roderigo gets slapped by Sven and then by Sera. Lady
			LS attempts to join in Roderigo warns her off.

			During Roderigo’s & Saute’s watch a blue glow is discovered coming from the tunnel
			Lady Summer is turned unseen and goes to investigate. Roderigo goes invisible and joins
			her. Mercenaries are there, (apparently have been suspicious by the poisoned dogs), they
			are fighting in the blue glowing area. They seem to go into the hole.

			The Lord notices that Roderigo has left the gate open and summons the dogs. Lady
			Lisette is busted by the dogs. They chase her. Sir Don tries to cast quickness on her.

			The party except Sir Don are in the alleyway.

			There is a scuffle between the dogs ad Lady Lisette. We all pile into help her eventually
			killing them. Mercenaries come from around the alleyway. Saurus casts a wall of bones to
			delay them. Sera creates a bitch in heat to distract the dogs. Sir Don unearths a large
			magic wasp which he jumps on with Cow and flies to the entrance of the hole. We all end
			up down the hole. There is still a glow in the cave, Sauté casts a fire protection spell on
			us all after we trigger ward. The watch follows down We hide from them and they end
			up going on ahead. There is a clear trail of glowing” blood” for us to follow. We end up in
			a large room. The watch are all dead on the floor. There is a watermark at 18 feet. We
			are asked to surrender by some one speaking from a 20 foot raised platform. We back
			off. Behind us at 2 TMR is a wall of water. Sven identifies as being bound water.

			There was a big scrap. Spells, javelins & swords everywhere. Many brave deeds are
			witnessed as the party seriously kicks badster butt. Saurus has created heaps of walls
			of bones & some godawful smelling spell (noxious vapours?) to great effect. Sir Don has
			used his “buzzy bee” – most effectively & has cast quickness & other useful spells. Sven
			is godamned scary. Roderigo crashes head first into a wall after being dropped there by
			said buzzy bee. Serra Angelis is a one woman storming party taking on all of them at
			once. At the end Saurus almost drowns. The room ends up flooded and stinking of toxic
			fumes. Heaps of badsters - including one mage are dead, some are bound up for
			questioning later. There are some (7) prisoners including a water mage. Some of the
			badsters flee into another room via the corridor which is not blocked by a wall of bones.

			===Session 12===

			Serra DA’s the prisoners & determines they are all magically controlled by binding will
			Rk 8.We go down the corridor. In the room are two mage like entities – an old man &
			Lavender from the R Court. There are 4 big guards, a handful of bandits also and
			another woman from the Court. We charge in with Serra & Sven at the front. They are
			like live motor mowers chopping things to bits. Combat is going well. Suddenly the woman
			in the party all go bad – turning on the party members – uh oh it looks like a mind mage.
			Saute deals to Serra with a flaming sword. It is a quick draw sap-out between lady
			Lizette & Roderigo. He is quickest to the draw and the party leader is knocked out.
			Quickly the party deals to the remaining baddies, Saute making mincemeat of the Mind
			Mage.

			===Day 17===

			After tying up & looting we get back to the Court, having met the Guard Captain on the
			way, who escorts us there..

			We re-enter the Court, scrub up & go to meet Delphinium who is a serious babe when
			well-kitted out. We explain ( Sir Don explains in courtier fashion – the rest interrupt
			with clumsy inelegance ) Just then word comes that Lady Lizette (who has been locked in
			a dog kennel for safe keeping due to the spell has escaped and is trying to free the
			unconscious mind mage – who has been identified by his brother as being Blood. We
			secure LL. There is evident tension between the Guard Captain & Delphinium. Delphinium
			is happy with what we have achieved and confirmed that we will be paid 2000 sp each + a
			magic trinket each. We are asked for our requests in this regard. Lady Lizette will
			recover in 4 days.

			We leave immediately…..
			It took from day 3 to day 11 to arrive. Assuming 8 days travel return – we arrive on day
			25 at Seagate.

			===Loot===
			We find assorted assassins + thieves gear,
			4 sets of scale armour,
			Weapon smithed shield
			1 Ring – hearing behind walls & doors – Roderigo
			Gloves – touching the afterlife – Saurus
			Broach to assist memory – Lisette
			Circlet – seeing in dark psychic esp– Sir Don

			We hear fighting down stairs. The gates are opened to allow Bear to enter followed by a
			Guard. Sir Don fools guard into thinking he is casting a dangerous spell. Sir Sven swings
			Saurus as a club at the guard – he scarpers. Bear tells us through Ash that he went to
			see Reed a namer to remove the curse on Saurus. Reed has disappeared. The watch had
			staked out Reed’s pad & attempted to “feel Bears collar” so he made like a baby and
			headed out. Slime has been taken by the guards. We believe he is at the leavers bridge
			guardhouse. It is revealed that Reed is the Duke’s Court namer. He lives mostly at home
			or at the Court. We go to the law library while Sir Don researches. There is a picture of
			a beautiful woman with red hair & green eyes. Rodrigo asks if she was a librarian. She is
			Rose – the Founder. We enquire about past vampires. The last one to come here was
			Morlock. He cam in for training & stayed about 8 yrs. He was very popular. Were
			rumours he would “taste” consenting clients. He was accused of eating town folk. He left
			43 years ago. One of the problems for the Rose Court is that it has different laws than
			the town.

			We go down the tunnels again Ash leads. We pass various see through bathes, windows
			etc. back ton the ubliat. Sir Don & lady Summers go down. There is no snake. Saurus is
			completely animal like & embarrasses himself by sniffing up Lady LS’s dress. We search
			the rooms again including the necrophiliac room. Saurus chews what he must assume is a
			bone – well that is one name for it but his actions are quite inappropriate. We go to the
			water room where Sven summons a small hobbit sized water elemental that is told to
			search the water pipes etc. A message arrives for us delivered by a servant. It says

			Dear Strangers, welcome to Rastenberg. I would be please to meet you at the Green
			Door at 4.00 a.m.
			Yours truly,
			V.

			Ash says the Green Door is a relatively respectable establishment. The water elemental
			tells us that there is a body underwater and some boxes secured under water. The body
			is retrieved. Ash believes it is Suede. The body is preserved. We drink coffee & roast
			beef sandwiches in preparation to meet “V”

			===Day 14===

			Rodrigo tries to turn invisible but it backfires and he goes arthritic. Sven has second
			thoughts about meeting V – he believes it a trap. We all reconsider except our party
			leader who decides that a solo mission is in order and she leaves alone. We keep a basic
			watch sharing rooms. Sir Don studies. Suarus eats a powder and develops a rash of sorts
			he itches and continues to embarrass us by scratching with his hind legs.
			At 11 a.m. we eat breakfast. Lady LS is not back. Feather checks out Roderigo and gives
			him a herbal drink that appears to fix the arthritius.

			The Captain of the watch, Beech, is there to meet us. We are done up in full fig all
			formal like. We scoff cakes & biscuits. The Captain regards Sauté suspiciously. Sauté
			looks as unobtrusive as is possible. We tell him we are from the Seagate Guild and are
			employed by the Rose Court. Sauté tells he has been here before through the R Court.
			The Captain arrears suspicious about why we are here. He tells there is a peasant revolt
			being stirred by some one called Blood. His concerns were there were only 5 of us who
			entered by the front city gate. The convoy of Lord with bodies disguised as game were
			noticed. Sir Don blathers considerable utilising all manner of high faluting garble. The
			Captain asks if a Guard can accompany us. His name is Cow. He is armed with Broad
			sword & hard leather armour. Sir Don casts a locate on Lady LS. Sir Sven decides he
			would rather get pissed and shag some wenches which he does for about 12 hours.

			Sir Don, Roderigo (hoping to find some dirty picture books), Sauté, Sera Angelis go to
			the library. Sauté (who being singed is basically butt-ugly) gets hit on by the foxy
			Masted – who from the ring on her right finger is strictly into Sapphic sex. Sera,
			suspicious – DA’s and discovers she is be-spelled. Rodrigo by leaping into the air
			attempts to sap her but misses as she is about 6 feet. She screams for help from Bear.

			Saute, Sera & Roderigo attempt top restrain. Sir Don explains about the magical effect
			to Ash and security. Masted is taken away.

			Sven is summoned from the room of the delectable Cherry where he has been occupied.
			We decide to go & find lady Lisette. It is 2.00 a.m

			===Day 15===

			We follow the arrow from Sir Don’s locate spell. Cow is pissed from indulging at the
			Court. We are being watched and followed as we leave, We go down some smaller streets
			the arrow points to a particular building. This is the Merchant’s Quarter. We knock on
			the door and by using Cow’s authority get to search the place. Nothing is there. The
			arrow posits down a sewer grate. After bumbling around for a while in the water we end
			up following down a series of tunnels ending up in natural cavern whcih appears to have
			been developed. The layout is similar to the cave system under the Court. We find a
			crudely drawn design hat looks a little like an Orc. Being too fatigued we get back to the
			Rose Court for the 4.00 a.m. closing.

			At 7.30 a.m there is a knock on the door. Suarez has been curse-removed. Over
			breakfast a plan is discussed. We examine Suede’s body. He has drowned. He was tied to
			the sewer posy mortem. Sir Don thinks of a plan that involves throwing flour at the
			invisible mind mage.

			Saurus casts speak with the dead on Ash. The following is revealed:
			Didn’t see what killed him, Not know how killed, No one was with him, He was not in a
			fight, did not commit suicide, not know why died, not enter pump room, died in sewers,
			not meeting someone, not know of vampire in sewers, looking for something, not know
			what looking for in sewers, entered sewer from Rose Court, entered from water room,
			no secret entrance to sewers, water not flowing when entered, entered pipe to see what
			stopped water, found something in tunnel, was alone in tunnel, left dungeon to find out
			what stopped water, did not see anything but water b4 died, did not see anyone tween
			water room and dungeon.

			===Day 13===

			We are awoken by a mob outside attempting to invade Rose Court & other privileged
			places. Sven grasps rune sword & runs out. Sir Don appears in magic pj’s & curly toed
			slippers, Roderigo affixes moustache & rushes out… Sir Sven casts a rainstorm which
			discourages mob. A horn blows – mercenaries and guard charge.

			Sir Don of Nightingale insists on bandaging wounded. Roderigo attempts to loot but finds
			only lice! Sauté is recognised by Guard member – not favourably. Sera Angelis, utilises
			famed guild charm skills to max effect & asks the guard if Sauté “boned his wife” ? He
			does not like us we think.

			Everyone dresses to meet Delphinium. Lady Lizette is suddenly very assertive.

			Delphinium, Ash< Masted, Lilly – (she of black leather etc) Bear, Volpine are there.
			Delphinium tells us:
			2 weeks ago Suede who was helping Lilly went missing from the Dungeon. It has only one
			entrance. There was a smell of sulphur in the room. They believe is a haunting. They do
			not know if our problems in transit are related. Last night, Lavender, a witch, went
			missing. Our prisoner is still being held. People have only gone to the dungeon in twos or
			threes since. The dungeons are extensive. The river under the water is not running
			properly. The Court has many enemies due to its privileged status. The newest people in
			Court are Venom, Badger, Petal. There was a death about 12 years ago. A Lord had a
			heart attack. The Court is about 150 years old thew same as the rest of the city. It is a
			low mana zone.

			We debate torturing the prisoner. Sir Don = against it. Roderigo = pro. Giselle was an
			acquaintance of….? Lilly & Ash will go in the Dungeon with us.

			The guards have requested to talk to us. We will see them tomorrow after breakfast.
			We arm ourselves and prepare to enter.

			Order – Sven, SA
			Saute, Don, Lady L
			Ash, Roderigo, Lilly
			Saurus

			Lilly has a lantern. Suede was a human 6’2” of about 23 with strong muscles. We explore
			look around various antechambers through various passages, notice many mirrors and
			some secret passages. We come to a room done up in black leather and chrome with
			bottles on coffee tables, lounging chairs with a two door entrance. Ash advises this is
			the interview room where Lords & Ladies wait to receive treatment. Lilly was in the room
			when Suede disappeared in the dungeon. He made no noise. Lilly knows of no other way
			out. There was a 30 min gap between when she saw him last and when she knew he had
			disappeared. It was about 1 a.m. Lilly shows us the dungeon proper – all the usuals for
			S&M – Sire Don reveals that he has previously been tortured in a dungeon. Suede was in
			this room or the prep room when he disappeared to the knowledge of Lilly. There is a
			swing wall with a room in behind with whips, chests, masks, manacles & feathers.

			Alligator clips, needles hooks, & funny shaped clubs with two lumps on end. These look
			familiar somehow. Sera DA’s - the only unusual aura is a magic aura on the chest. Lilly says it is magically protected from intrusion. There is another room, which is not opened
			very often. Saurus attempts to determine if someone has died. Suddenly he screams and
			collapses. It is determined that he has encountered a very strong death presence. Ash
			reveals that this area is seldom used – being for necrophiliacs. There is a natural; grotto
			behind a swivelling wall - full of coffins with an earth floor. All the devices apparently
			used by necrophiliacs are apparently there. It is dry & clean. Vampires have stayed here
			to entertain the necro crowd. There are no tracks. LLS looks in a coffin where she
			discovers a pair of black gloves. Sera DA’s and determines that they allow interplanar
			travel of some sort. We discover a concealed passage 1 person wide. We go down it –
			Serra, Sven, LS, Don, Rod, A, L, S. It twists about. There are 5 alcoves. One has a deep
			ubliat. Others have tables with bottles etc. Roderigo is tied up by the party and dropped
			down an ubliat on the end of a rope & told to scream if he sees anything. He screams
			after about 5 seconds alleging he saw a big snake. The party pulls him out. Sera lights a
			torch & oil and tosses it down there. There are some shadows. Roderigo maintains he saw
			a snake still. The party do not see anything - mysterious! Sera the tart, calls Roderigo a
			girl.

			We come to a trap door in a ceiling with a stepway going up. Sven enters. It turns out to
			be an opulently appointed bedroom with a 4 poster. There are no mirrors. Saurus casts a
			spell but has a bad backfire and is cursed as a result. We retrain him. This is the
			vampire guest room. Roderigo saps Saurus unconscious. He has lost his memory and
			appears to be merely a big lizard that cannot talk or do anything other than reptile brain
			functions. He travels through some natural caverns past a series of openings where
			there is running water. Saurus is returned home by Lilly. We enter a large ballroom via a
			large spiral staircase. Ash takes us to the water room. It is large and noisy. Sir Don
			admires a fine machine that is functioning there pumping hot water etc. Ash notices a
			spell has been cast on him. He begins to walk deliberately toward the well; Roderigo saps
			him for his own good & knocks him out. We suspect there is a vampire or a mind mage
			somewhere. We leg it to the kitchen. Ash refuses to tell us what happened. We take the
			restored Ash back to our rooms. Lady L dissipates the spell on Ash. We go together with
			Ash to see Delphinium & to enquire about openings in the water/ plumbing system.
