Session 15 - Calamis, Volodar 28, 2021 Post Discidium

The party now has the key to the vault. Armando, Esta, and Lenny are in Mr. Bigsby’s office still, whereas Hazel and Kalim are upstairs. 

The Spectator started speaking to Hazel (still disguised as Mr. Bigsby) in a language she couldn’t understand. All the guards panicked, as they had never seen that creature, much less heard it speak. Hazel tried to pretend speaking to it, but that didn’t really work, and the Spectator became hostile.

Hazel, Kalim and a few guards managed to escape to the downstairs area, while a few guards remained upstairs fighting the Spectator, who was now believed to have turned against Mr. Bigsby. Upon arriving downstairs, some of the guards saw Esta making her way to the vault.

Hazel and Kalim deceived some of the guards (with Hazel enacting a fainting episode). Lennie acted seductively and proceeded, furthering the deception, and then also putting some of the guards to sleep. Esta and Kalim entered the vault and then quickly realized they were in fact inside the mouth of a giant mimic that was trying to eat them. 

The party collectively broke a few of the mimic’s teeth and managed to escape the trap. Henry, at this point, realized that Mr. Bigsby wasn’t the real Mr. Bigsby, and accepted to help the party. 

On their way out, Esta heard the Spectator speak in undercommon. He said: "run, you little mutts! You wish I was as simple as just a few pettings! Muahahahaha". 

Once outside, they compensated Henry, and he promised to cover for them should anyone ever question what happened to Mr. Bigsby (he’ll say he only saw Mr. Bigsby going into the forest). Henry was given 22 gp by the party and with his newfound fortune, he hopes to get good gear and join the Adventurer’s Guild in Menell Dilth.

Esta collected the 4 pseudodragons from the hiding spot, where they comfortably slept. The party then proceeded to Cat Cradle Farm to ask for shelter for the night. Yiri and Maldara were more than happy to offer them shelter and made them tea. Maldara gave Lennie a kitten bee flower as a gift. Lennie attempted to steal one of Armando’s swords, but he noticed the attempt and told her she could have it, all she needed to do was ask. Awkward.

The party took a long rest.
