4 - Castle Lo'Balls and the Evil Melkin 22-12-2015

·        Confronted two palace guards. Ellemin tried to convince them the group was a travelling circus. The guards didn’t buy it.

·        Wizard elf “Melkin” appeared and scanned the memories of party. Pointed at Therin and shouted “Rhana is here!” Party get surrounded.

·        Party captured and escorted to Castle Lo’Balls and the court of Queen Azura. Queen reveals Therin to be “Rhana”, the old captain of the Kings Guard and supposedly responsible for his death. Upon asking about the temple of Zeana, Queen highlights that they’d need the key which is around her neck. Offers it to Arradir if he kills Therin there and then. He declines, and the party are thrown in the dungeon to be executed the next day.

·        In jail cell, Dhurgir finds page 1 of 7 of Norris’ Book for a Dwarven Waraxe.

·        Ellemin squeezes through the bars of the cell, but gets stuck. Therin shoulder barges him out and he gets hurt. Goes to the store room and steals punching dagger and lock pick kit.

·        Back in the cell, tries the lock pick, fails. Visited by Malifer, Therin’s old second in command. Is confused and doesn’t know how to feel – was convinced that Rhana had killed the king and fled.

·        Hagar, Therin’s old house Dwelf comes to visit the party in their cell, claiming he and the other dwelfs know Rhana is innocent, and they have the kings Journal to prove it.

·        Plan an escape – Hagar is to take the letters from Rhana’s old quarters (now a gym), give two of them to Malifer and then break everyone out in the night with a view to scale the castle wall, kill Melkin and take the key from the Queen.

·        Success! Letters thrown under Malifer’s door. Party let out and scale far west wall. Nymeria sent back to cell. In the fracas atop the parapet, Hagar kills a Queen’s guard before being through to his death by another.

·        Arradir finds page 2 of 7 of Norris’ Book for a Quarterstaff

·        Arradir and Ellemin scale Melkin’s tower, descend to the other side only catch eyes with him and have him disappear in a puff of smoke.
