During a council meeting, a man,Emmanon, comes to us
requesting aid to fight rebels in Norwold. the rebels call themselves the
“Guild” and are ruled by intellectuals. their philosophy is taught by Xean-hu.
Emmanon wants land to combat his philosophies. we give him a parcel in the
university town. we decide that we will vote on the support of the rebel or the
loyalists. a Lord Namnok of thyatis is granted an audience. he claims he was
banished by the emperor and the new emperor is a brute and wants to destroy us.
there is much propaganda in the empire against the federation. he advises us to
ally with the kingdom of wendar and the norwold monarchy. we vote to build
roads to all our towns and build keeps in each one. a Lord Commenus comes from
thyatis to request residence and political standing in our government. he wants
to become a military adviser or commander. the orcs and hobgoblins dislike
him.adjourn, after lunch Tianna enters with ambassador from wendar. orcs want
her to be a tavern wench, we appoint her as governor of northern mountain orcs.
we meet with Johnny Strongman. he wants an investigation of thyatis to take
place. requests Tianna go to investigate also. he thinks Lord Commenus should
be put to work.
the ministry of state organizes an investigation expedition
of the state of thyatis. Tianna, Draco, Rav, Emmanon, and Johnny Strongman go
with five hobgoblin troops to the wizard’s mountain where we use the portal to
reach the empire. on the way we see a few fresh orc bodies. when we reach the
portal we discover it has moved to a completely new tunnel. we go through and
eventually all reach the same spot. we arrive in the city of Darokin. 6
assassins attack us and then flee. we travel for 2 weeks to reach Specularum.
then we travel for one week on a ship to reach thyatis, the city. we are
escorted to palace and told that the empire pasively support the rebels in
norwold, and that they do support the federation. we are told the black cloaks
may cause us some problems. when we return to an inn, we learn that thyatis is
at war with alphatia and thyatis is winning currently. we learn the black
cloaks are a secret society that shelters the impoverished. they are a very
radical political group. we find a meeting place and go to their meeting after
dusk. the password was roast beef. we came dressed in black cloaks for a
disguise. many of the members were drow. we go to another meeting later, the
password changed to fried yams. we learn that the society is against dynastic
governments, or ones that have been around for too long. they believe after a
government has been in office too long, they become corrupt. there were 40
people at the meeting of all races, but many, many drow. they are against the
guild in norwold. Rav becomes ethereal and spys on them after meeting. he sees
strange rituals and hears about assassination plans. learns there is an
operative in Dargunn. they talk about some new spells and magical research. the
drow leave through one door, and the rest go back to the surface. Rav comes and
tells us what he heard. we go and follow the drow. come to a door with an
inscription. we open it, Draco gets punched and is knocked unconscious. they
rest kill the drow who punched him. we hear bells and footsteps coming toward
us. a gas fills the hall and we all fall unconscious.
