Scribe Notes
Session 1
Meet Maelstrom at the guild meeting but he can't discuss who is recruiting us nor what the adventure is about. So we plan to head off tomorrow after a large feast for no apparent reason other than it seems to be what Mungo does before going away!
Next day we head off to CamDinDel manor without being able to tell the party where we were or who we were seeing. Had to tell them that this is an undead building so don’t freak out!
Arriving we find that the manor is covered in spider web which is really strange. It seems like a barrier. This works out to be correct.
When we walk in all those I expected are here - CamDinDel, Lorto, Maelstrom and Legion. Still nobody will discuss what we are to do until we visit CamDinDel lab where we are debugged by getting naked and fogged in a glass cage while our stuff is also unbugged.
Then we get to exit the lab and go into CamDinDel private chambers where we can finally talk about the adventure of going to the desert and looking for blue sand and maybe collecting some unusual creatures "essences".
- Secret notes
Ashkar and the Dark Brotherhood are our employer. His need for secrecy is the reason why we have so many protections about bugs.
They have a rogue agent from the Brotherhood and have taken some of their colleagues with them. The rogue agent is referred to as Lady Bug, and she is a master of bugs so will probably have a large network of actual bugs.
The reason for the issue is post the engagement with the guild we have help them see that helping dark powers was a bad idea however this new ethos has fractured the brotherhood including Lady Bug as she seems to still be engaging which such powers but they have no proof.
1. Find out what she is up to
2. Is she working with the previous employers who they shouldn’t be (Demon - Savnock, Greater Summer – Red Mage (based in Savator) and the Drow – The White Lady)
3. Is she working for other dark powers she shouldn't be
4. Kill her and minons if necessary
This secret mission we will have a pardon from the Dark Brotherhood but also need to run it past the Guild seniors to ensure we are not breaking any agreement that is in place between the two parties
