08. Lords of Oblivion

In Chapter Eight the party were finally able to start taking the fight to the Cagewrights. Having found out who they were and what they seemed to be up to at the end of Chapter Seven, Chapter Eight started with the group discovering Shensen had been captured by members of the Last Laugh. They went and rescued her finding that her captors were none other than Jil and other members of Harley's crew. Harley made a secret deal with them that if he could get rid of the Jester he would take control of the Last Laugh. They discovered that Jil had captured Shensen because she was watching Lady Thifirane's house and a clandestine party was due to happen that that night.   The party then gate crashed the party at Lady Thifirane's where she was trying to recruit many of the more disreputable of Cauldron's fellows. They killed her and the Jester, and defeated the Blue Duke and Adrick Garthun who were both given their freedom. This left them with more information but a bit of a dead end as to how to find the Fiery Sanctum, the Cagewrights lair. So they decided to investigate Lord Vhalantru's house.   Under Lord Vhalantru's house they found the lair of the beholder Orbius. They fought many guardians and allies and eventually located the beholder who they defeated. They found a magical suit which the beholder was able to wear to take the form of the half elf Vhalantru. And they found the teleportation code to the Fiery Sanctum.
