Bring to Light

A vicious and at times chaotic combat breaks out, but Sina manages to lock the drow in, allowing the group to finally take some of them down and even take a prisoner, with no escapees. I’d write down more, but was unconscious during most of the fight. I’ve asked Arthur to give a more detailed report but he keeps complaining about a concussion. Best I learned: at start the prosecution and judge bench were still muddled by the Mass Suggestion but then one of the Drow sacrificed herself to summon a sort of spidery fiend, after which the others galvanised around us. Most I remember is waking up in Sina’s arms, his worried eyes nourishing me back to life.

With one of the grey elves in our hold, we (meaning Alruna and Sador) tried to gain information out of him via threats or mindreading, but he was steeled against this, declaring that he wouldn’t answer without permission of his mistress.

So I disguised myself as his mistress, and focussed my thoughts and role with the help of my stave. It took some cajoling, but ultimately he revealed to the present judiciaries the truth. The Grey elves, Drow as they call themselves, have over the course of history tampered with humanity to forget the details of the great war between dragons and giants.

They have infiltrated widely in Ael’Tas and beyond, and had amongst others a secret room in the guards captains chamber in this very building, hidden after a  secret door, operated by the classic book.

Unfortunately, the room was trapped, killing our prisoner, but vindicating the testimony I gave yesterday. With that, Hubert had no choice than to rely on us, and asked Bella to prepare talismans that would stop us from lying in regards to the case, describing an effect not too dissimilar to Geas. (I should ask how those are made on a later point.)

Of course, at this point Arthur and I made sure to gently poke some fun, by describing  our most outlandish relevant encounters without any context at all.

Whilst we took a short rest to regain some strenght, Hubert started instructing the complete guard on how to get out of this mess, releasing some colourful terminology. This is turning out to be  quite the eventful day, finally making some progress in regards to the task we have been given. And it isn’t even noon yet! - Tara
