Imperium Article Two: The Guard Is Hereby Given The Following Powers...
General Summary
- Barry performs at the Parched Partridge, and has successfully Fascinated the bartender every night since he was banned from the other place. The bartender is a middle-aged half-Elf and everyone in the Partridge is a bespectacled, tweed-wearing University graduate. Lemon does chores and tinkers with his alchemy kit. Morubash does night labor for extra cash.
- The fourth day together, they are assigned to dig up information on the Shadowcats gang, famous for booking illegal underground fights and gambling on the outcomes. Barry takes the gang to meet Baru, his old arena fighting buddy. Morubash is invited to impress Baru with his physical talents, which he does, so Baru points them in the direction of a victim of such a scheme.
- They head to the Dockside district and talk to Dave at The Nook, a bougie cafe in the district. They find out Dave is hugely in debt to the Shadowcats to pay for his wife's rare blood disease treatments. The gang collects Sora and decides to wait around for something to happen. First, the Poison Gang breaks in to threaten Dave. Then two half-ogres who represent the Shadow Cats try to kill the Poison Gang before extorting Dave. A fight ensues.
- Well they eventually won, the party that is. Even if Morubash and and Sora got knocked out. And Barry got hogtied. It was almost really bad. Anyway, party won, bad guys got arrested, and the party earned a beautiful day off. Which was spent resting.
- Except for Barry. He went back to Dave's place to get a caramel frappucino and advise Dave to move to the North Ward. Which, with the help of Vari, he did!
- Morubash got brought in to punch the ogres into talking, and now the guard has dirt on Alicel, a high-ranking bruiser for the Shadowcats. We're moving in! (After a quick visit to the doctor).

Notes
This session featured Dockside, one of the river districts of Triumph. It is a hub of trade, both legal (coming down from Lancaster and the River Kingdoms) and illegal (it's a haven for pirates escaping heat in the Kingdoms). Dockside was made almost entirely out of crushed Braithstrom ships, wooden and enchanted to be immune to rot and fire. This district relies heavily on food imports from elsewhere in the city, but the trade it brings in more than pays for this deficit. It is under the protection of Lord Wu Arthur and Guard Captain Lucius Stormhurler.
