Bandaluthia: Session 17

Coolio is approached by the Four. They strike up a deal with the halfling that would see some items being stashed away in the Temple of Yondalla for up to a month for a fee of 10,000gp. The deal would also build bridges between the others of the Animals and the Four as tension has been… sliceable between them. For this brokering of deals, the Four offer Coolio a magic crossbow. The crossbow is very much like their own, but smaller. The agreement would see the crossbow to remain as secret and they are VERY insistent on that matter.

A lazyish morning sees Thelonius informed of his engagement with Opal. A meeting set up by Coolio which will see Father Irmao and Brother Vincenza to meet the Four. A leisurely lunch at the Satyr & Sickle, but in the Guild lounge latter, an old woman introduced as Gretta tells Shaniqua that she is her grandmother, her father is dead and her mother fled after Shaniqua’s birth, claiming that she wanted nothing to do with the ‘bastard’ child.

Hollenlord goes into The Sword of Orlathry to join their Torturabol team. He meets the other members, and is happy to see Donis Hathers, Dex & Champs. After a brief initiation, which sees Hollenlord beat Donis at arm wrestling, they go to practice Torturabol where Hollenlord excels. Instant acceptance by the team sees Hollenlord getting drunk after practice. The more Hollenlord drinks, the taller his tales become, and soon he is telling of stories that he, as Hollenlord, did not do, but of Hellhounds legendary acts of both ultimate violence and sexual prowess. One of the guys calls him a liar, but Hollenlord does not defend his tongue, he decides disgression is the better part of valour (on this occasion) and leaves.

Bernhard meets the Animals at 22, and tells them of the taxi information. This gets the planning in motion and soon an option for the Sorcerer of Donis is discussed. The Temple halflings turn up, eat paella, meet the Four and leave happy. Shaniqua has been her room now for several hours, and Ratsel coaxes her out with promises of diamond studded saddles for her horse, a crystal chandelier for her room and a killing this night. A miserable, confused and dejected Shaniqua agrees to join them, saying that this isn’t the first time she’d been promised a diamond encrusted saddle, and it has yet to transpire. Coolio gets Hollenlord, who passed out in the Animal lounge, to drink coffee, but Hollenlord is made of stern stuff, and although he was blind drunk just a few hours ago, he is not just ready for action, but quite upbeat about it all.

A taxi driver suggests another twist to the plan as the group await Cardonius the Sorcerer. The Animals then decide to ambush the sorcerer in Fereygas Park at the oak copse. A favoured haunt for outdoor frolics. Indeed as the Animals position themselves, they have to shoo a couple away. Some hours latter a taxi has its horse spooked, the horse bolts, the cab and two occupant’s race at breakneck speed toward the oak copse. Just at the last minute, it tries to turn its course, but flips, throwing both men out into a heap on the ground. Hollenlord runs in with speed aided by his new boots, and whacks the sorcerer as he lay prone with his huge blade. Shaniqua rushes in and stabs Cardonius with her rapier, just as Ratsel lets fly with a volley from his kaleidoscope. Coolio runs up, but is too late to use his new toy. Unfortunately the Town Guard and a St. Cuthbert’s cleric turn up and deal with the carnage. Coolio acts quickly to say that they where saving the cabbie from being robbed. The driver agrees through the pain of a dislocated shoulder, which is promptly healed by Coolio and overseen by an impressed cleric of St’ Cuthbert. The Guard take the body, but only before Ratsel is quick enough to liberate some items from the corpse.

A quick visit to the Satyr to identify the items and to tell Dave of their slaying before anyone takes credit for the death of the sorcerer.

The contract has seen two of the sub plots removed. This has the potential of 10,000gp. Another 40,000gp is available, but the small matter of Donis, Dex, Champs and Gene’o remain.

Shaniqua’s state of mind is far far from here, Hollenlord looks to be a real coup for the Orlathry Blades at Torturabol. Coolio has yet to see the full force of his new toy and Ratsel needs to let the rest of Cardonius’ magic go. All await the return of Qu and then it is the Hathers contract to complete.

Next time………..
