Broy Boy
Ohzon’s Skyfollowers captured a Tunnel Boy. He was young,
already beat up, and easy to intimidate. His name was ‘Broy Boy’ and he was
working for a captain in the ‘Tunnel Lord’s’ network, and there were about
twenty others in his cell. That very night, Jocco (the captain) was having a
party to celebrate the fact that he found some way to ‘kill the halfling’. Broy
Boy was quick to give up a description of Jocco and say exactly where the party
would be, The Blooming Faro. Still, Bay insisted that he was coming with us.
Just to have some extra firepower and people power, Zel and Xoth were elected
to come with us, while the rest of the guards were left to protect the house.
The skyfollowers dispersed after the
five who actually captured Broy Boy were given extra praise by their Sky Father
for their ingenuity. Back at the house, everyone got ready by having a montage,
then did the power walk down to the Blooming Faro.
The Return of
Gahaz
Once everyone arrived, Xoth took up a position atop a
building where he could keep an eye on anyone who was leaving. We gave him
direct instructions that he was to stop Jocco from leaving without killing him
if needed, then took our own positions. Cael and Zarnian were going to enter in
the back, while Bay, Broy Boy, Ohzon, Barok and Zel went in the front. However,
the front was being guarded by two Tareks and Gahaz. He took the job to earn some
extra money in his off time. Ohzon just bribed the jerkass[1],
and was able to have access to the bar. Ohzon got things started by using his
abilities to slam all the windows and doors, then the group charged. What they
found inside was about 25-30 prostitutes of all races and genders, about 20
Tunnel Boys, Jocco, and one pissed off madam. Zarnian charged in to attack
Jocco taking wounds herself, with Barok knocking heads together in the front.
Bay knocked out Broy Boy by the back door and latched it, while Cael started
working on spells. The fight was bloody, intense and in the end, the group took
four live prisoners including Jocco, who had developed psionic abilities due to
‘dust’. So everyone could be
interrogated in private, Cael found a small place in Under Tyr.
Revelations
Upon arrival in Under Tyr, the group separated the three
more minor members of the Tunnel Boys from Jocco. Jocco was still unconscious,
so Barok watched him while Bay, Cael and Zarnian interrogated the hirelings.
They said that they did not always work for the Tunnel Lord, but about a year
ago the Tunnel Lord consolidated power. Now they all made more money, so while
they didn’t like the control, they didn’t mind the loot. After getting as much
information as possible, everyone switched placed and the interrogation of
Jocco began. Almost immediately, Zarnian threatened to turn his balls into a
change purse if he didn’t cooperate and he started signing like a canary. He
confirmed that the Tunnel Lord came to power a year ago and that he gave all
the captains ‘dust’ which granted them psionic power. Also, none of the
captains knew how to contact the Tunnel Lord but he contacted them through
telepathy and met them in front of the Crimson Shrine about once a week. Jocco
also said that there about 5 captains and 100 men in the Tunnel Boys. He also
said that they knew a way to get from Under Tyr into the House, and there was a
trapdoor in C’aro’s office. Bay demanded that not only should Jocco take him
there, but to Jocco’s office to give us his ill gotten loot. First, Jocco
wanted us to kill the men we had captured. Zarnian slit the throat of one right
there, while Bay offered to kill the other two. Meanwhile, everyone set off.
Trauma
Traveling through Under Tyr, Jocco led everyone to the trap
door under C’aro’s office. Ohzon and Zarnian pushed through only to find C’aro
having sex with his noble girlfriend, Lycinia. After the trauma, the two
managed to fill C’aro on what was happening. He threw on a robe, as did his
girlfriend and they came with the group to get Jocco’s loot. Jocco did led
everyone to his office, which contained three treasure chests. Bay also got the
‘dust’ from Jocco, then everyone went back to the house, where they found
Trakas with the one Tunnel Boy who had gotten away. Trakas followed in secret
to help protect the team. Jocco was locked up until we decided what to do with
him, and C’aro kept 90% of the loot, giving the other 10% to Bay to help get
Timmuth back.
Ardoth the Douche
That night, when Bay contacted Timmuth, Timmuth told him
that a man matching Ardoth’s description came to the house and demanded that
Esticles give him soldiers to go take care of Searchion. Bay warned Searchion
that Ardoth was headed his way and told the House to stand down alert.

She who writes the notes gets to fill in the details. And yes, Gahaz is a
jerkass, and no, I will not be taking him as a guard any time soon…
