Bandaluthia: Session 20

The Animals take their leave of the Fereygas Guard and set off to find Gus with the body of Donis. Luckily a taxi goes by, and picks up the two halflings, the Tiefling, the halfdrow, the dead Raj and the body of their own Hollenlord. The taxi driver is worried. They find Gus just inside the borders of Monterey, but he has stopped, as they reach him, they see that he is confronted by three thugs. Gus has already sustained an awful lot of damage, and the journey toward 22 has been hampered by the corpse he carried. The thugs fancy their chances and attack. Gus hurls the body at them to distract, whilst he readies his dire flail. The Animals rush to his aid.

In an alleyway, Jacob the Urban ranger and his animal companion, an Alsatian, see his bounty attack a huge black human. Jacob lunges forward to claim his mark. The thugs swing wildly at their new found pay check, but the exhausted Gus defends himself and their swords all bounce off his armour. The Animals burst to action; Qu leaps from the taxi and shoots a crossbow at one, which hits. Ratsel lets fly with his last spell, a magic missile. The thug staggers as the two missiles hit him in the chest. Coolio rushes to Gus’ side and cures the huge fighter. With this burst of healing energy, Gus let’s out his booming laugh and dispatches two thugs with as many swings from his mighty dire flail. The third thug runs for it. Shaniqua lets him leave. The thug runs about three steps before he sees the flashing of Jacob’s twin blades. It is the last thing the thug ever sees.

Brief exchanges of greetings are swapped between the Animals and the urban ranger, and they invite him for a brandy at 22. The taxi driver is joined by another, who has just cut off three heads and put them in a sack, and yet another corpse. The taxi man is traumatised! Within sight of 22, the taxi is stopped by the Guard. The guard notice Donis’ foot has fallen into plain view. The Animals have a break here, as the senior guard is Sgt. Jagers and a quick discussion sees them on their way. The Sergeant however makes it obvious that this is the last time he ‘looks the other way’

The Animals and Jacob have a brandy, but then the urban ranger sets off for home, and the Animals go to bed. Coolio uses this point to take Raj back to his family to see what their wishes would be for him. Resurrection is offered, but declined as Raj died bravely in battle, and thus is now an ‘honoured soul’. Qu goes to the temple, so that he would not be late for morning mass.

The following morning sees Qu breaking bread with his brethren. After the service, he is confronted by The Great Father Jesuan Piadoso, Father Irmao and Father Abercio. They say that they are pleased with his new found piety, and urge him to extend his cleric knowledge over his want of the Artificer learning. They say that this will go a very long way to ensure his good grace with the Avatar, and Yondalla herself. Qu assures them that he will give it thought. Just outside the Temple, Qu makes his mind up that becoming a better Artificer is the best way of him serving Yondalla.

A lazy day sees Ratsel visit the Sage at the Satyr to identify the immense hoard they got from the Hathers gang. Shaniqua has chat with D’Jarra-Leon and he confirms that Gretta tells the truth (at least her version of it) and he will set Thelonius a project to study the drow society. Qu returns and finds that he can use magic devices, at least ones he has not made. Jacob meets the Animals for lunch, and they offer him 100gp to help them tonight. As tonight is the night to ‘pin’ Donis up. A meeting with Bernhard results in a business proposition that the Animals may go in to invest in 6 taxis with a view to have Yzibit make some nice wagons for them. A taxi is arranged for a 3 o’clock in the morning pick up too.

The Animals, Jacob and the body of Donis arrive at the Sword of Orlathry pub. Between Shaniqua’s excellence of picking locks, and the ‘magic touch’ of Qu, the door opens. Inside, a huge rottweiler stands guard. The Animals distract it, and get into the Saloon. The body of Donis Hathers get put above the mantle piece, pinned to the walls with the trophy swords in the pub. With this, the contract is complete. However, someone lets the rottweiler in. Jacobs own dog tries to fight, but is over powered, Jacob himself steps up and skewers the beast with a sword, the rottweiler is not dead, but also not stupid, it retreats. The group make good their escape.

Qu heads straight for the temple while the rest return home. They Animals plan to take a well earned week off, with maybe just a few errands to be run. For example, Ratsel’s promises of a ‘diamond studded’ saddle looks likely, Qu’s service attendance needs to be addressed. Hollenlord is to be raised from the dead, and Gus is made a full member of the Animals.

Will Shaniqua get her 2,000gp saddle?
Will Ratsel find out information about Dave’s possible transgressions?
Will Qu defy the wishes of the three heads of his church?
Will Hollenlord be bought back to life?
Will Jacob become an Animal?
Will Coolio be able to hold a pie in EACH hand?

Find out next time in Bandaluthia.
