The Chronicles of the Itharia: Session Forty-five

Lee, Theren, and Ranrus went with Oula to The Betting Poole to drink. Oula coaxed them into giving some detail on what happened. Once she realized they'd gone to steal something and accidently got into a fight she was disinterested, until she heard the whole house might be after them wherein she almost threw the party under the proverbial voluptuous bird of travel by announcing their presence to anyPhoenix Arcania House members in the bar, but was convinced not to with the promise to fight Lee later( maybe next week?).   The three briefly discussed what to do with their week and and whether or not go after the hunter.   Rhy woke up with Auna on the clifftop on Nentra. After a awkward wake up conversation, they returned Snowbright on Ithica. They found themselves in the early morning of the 16th of Gorim. They both decided they needed to go check to see what their siblings had gotten up to in their absence.   Rhy returned to The Cats Cradle to find her brother in bed naked with Stay. After panicking both Stay and Lee woke. Stay left as Lee and Rhy started to have a discussion about Rhy's evening and the potential issue between the party andPhoenix Arcania House. After a brief discussion with Theren and Ranrus the twins went for a walk to try and come to terms with their current predicament.   Ranrus and Theren were woken by a somewhat confused Silk, who passed a letter on to them from Illia Ellia, asking them to attend the Merchant Council meeting, that she had mentioned she was looking to arrange when they returned from the mines. The meeting was scheduled for the 20th of Gorim. Theren and Ranrus went looking for the twins before going to the Murder Mansion (still without a new name). Ranrus Donated two magic items to the The Itharia. Anthony Wilson promised to pass the good deed onto Kiris Darkwing.   Lee went to harvest the devil vine to help in the creation of black hydra poison, with Ranrus's help. The two succeed in collecting enough to make 5 black hydra poison doses (assuming they had enough of the other ingredients). At the same time Ranrus noticed Lee's shadow was strange. It was solid black despite light seemingly meaning it should be a bit faded. Returning to Theren and Rhy they found Theren's shadow similarly changed. The party feared the cause was Phoenix Arcania House. The party went to see Kyga and found him missing. Rhy visited Alysia and discovered Kyga was not bound to be summoned to the house as she was. Alysia informed Rhy Phoenix Arcania House knew what they did and were working on a solution that could be resolved peacefully, and best give them space. Rhy found Alison Wilson to work at breaking whatever it was that forcibly summoned her to the house.   The party headed to the edge of the city for the their meeting with Alesha, the Red. She examined their evidence and though she seemed a bit more confused then the party might of expected, she said she would take their message to Ambrose and if he agreed to meet them Ellish the Blue would come find them.   Now outside the city Rhy suggested they leave the city, to give Phoenix Arcania House time to figure their stuff out. The killing of the hunter was brought up again and Rhy agreed to tag along only if Theren disguised themselves and they tried to convince the hunter to "change their ways". The party made their way to Roberts manor where the door was answered by a purple tiefling. She led them to the "game room" where Josoph Roberts was waiting? Rhy started talking to him, clarifying what he meant by hunts, and trying to convince him to not hunt people for sport. Rhy charmed him and despite their forced bond he simply gained to much joy from his hunts to understand how he could just change to doing anything else. But Rhy did manage to convince him to let them hunt him. The party followed him into his hunting grounds but they became split up. The two groups began to explore the hunting grounds. Rhy and Lee discovered a room that felt like a set piece. Ranrus cast locate object and tried to lead Theren and himself to Lee and Rhy. The party had been in the hunting grounds close to ten minutes when a Josophs booming voice filled the halls. He was confused as to how the hunt worked since he knew where the keys to get out were and they as the 'hunter' didn't know enough to really challenge him.   Date: 16th of Gorim
