== Rebellion in Helm’s Deep==

Just outside the warehouse on the edge of Helm’s Deep, the group gathers as they try to figure out how to find the naked invisible dwarf. Intrinsius lets Chalker know that after casting the Sense Foes spell he did not find any foes in the immediate area of the warehouse or inside the warehouse.

Chalker checks the tracks in the area and returns to Dain’s side to wake him up. As he approaches Dain, Nia, Tye and Kray walk out of the tunnel with hostages in tow. Nia asks if anyone has a seeker sell, to which Tye replies affirmative and begins to cast the spell with the clothes left behind by Trask. He locks onto Trask and quickly finds him, however after I thought he asks if anyone has anything left from inside Trask’s home.

Nia has a ledger from the home, so the team discusses how to proceed. Tye, Dain and Instrinsius follow the seeker spell to the location, while Chalker and Nia remain at the warehouse while Kray goes to get the evil items out of Trask’s office.

Tye, Dain and Instrinsius move quickly down the streets honing in on the location of the seeker spell. Moving at a pace that while attracting attention does make it easier to find anyone following them.

Chalker and Nia begin to question the captives. Chalker places the soldier in a chair and uses his telekinesis to place a dagger at his head. After this he give the soldier a moderately hard slap to wake him. As the soldier comes back to consciousness, Chalker slowing pushes the dagger into the soldier’s left temple just enough to let him know that the dagger is there. A startled look came on the soldier’s face and he seems to give a quick flex to check his bonds.

Chalker asks if the soldier knows the location of Trask, to which he seems happy, since he knows that Trask got away. Chalker interrogates him and learns his motives for joining the rebelling and his supposed reward. Chalker tells him he will get the mage prisoner and that if the soldier speaks Chalker will kill him.

Chalker brings in the mage and prepares to question him.

Intrinsius and company reaches an area with 3 houses, one of which the trace is in. Before proceeding, they team decide to scout the area for potential danger. They find 2 spots from which people can watch the house (it is the center house after all). Intrinsius messages Chalker and lets him know that they will sit and watch the house and the people watching the house.

Chalker begins to question the mage learning of 2 additional bolt holes. As Chalker is blindfolding and gagging the mage again, Nia notices that he is preparing to cast a spell or memorizing the location for his spell and tells Chalker, who promptly punches the mage in the head to mess with his concentration. Chalker then asks Nia to run an errand before they head to meet up with Intrinsius.

Meanwhile, Intrinsius is traveling between the 2 locations to check on status updates and to make sure Dain and Tye are both OK, casting a watch dog spell behind each of them to be informed if someone sneaks up on them.

Nia searches the area for a carriage and eventually finds a fancy tavern with several carriages out front. She looks for a rental carriage that she can hire. She eventually finds a carriage that is being dismissed as the couple inside said they were headed to an intimate rendezvous with another couple and will stay with them. Nia hears this and approaches the coach driver to offer some work.

At the warehouse, Chalker meets up with Kray and learns that there are already people cleaning up Trask’s house so he was only able to obtain some of the evil artifacts. Shortly after Nia returns to the warehouse in the carriage and Chalker and Kray exit with the bound prisoners and load them into the carriage. Chalker then goes up to talk to the driver to extend their time beyond the initial hour. He then messages Intrinsius and asks him to take care of the watchers.

Intrinsius sneaks up on each watcher and chokes them out using his Judo, taking them each to his watch partners to keep an eye on. Shortly after, Chalker, Nia and Kray arrive in their carriage. All the prisoners are loaded in, and shortly before Chalker was about to enter the house Nia received a warning from the runestone in her pocket prompting her to stop Chalker. After a brief discussion, they decide to instead head to the temple of Dar.

Upon entering the temple, there is nobody in attendance as it is into the night. Chalker has the prisoners placed on the alter and one of the unholy items are also placed on the alter. Almost instantly, 5 priests, 2 carrying sword walk into the room.

The high priest talks to each in turn mentioning their unique connections to each of the first chosen. After some discussion, the group leaves hearing the priests chanting around the alter in the shape of a pentagram.

As they arrive at Trask’s house, a small stone house on the south side. Chalker plans to have the team cover the Chimney and smoke out the people inside. Intrinsius suggest that since there is likely a least one bolt hole we should enter through those and force Trask to flee from the front door as he wouldn’t likely be prepared for that. In the end, the group decides to do both plans. A team of Nia and Tye will some out the house by covering the chimney, Chalker and Dain will enter and wait in one tunnel, while Intrinsius and Kray will wait in the other.

Upon decision, Nia adroitly scales the wall of the house to the roof while Tye slowly levitates himself. Nia quickly spots the eye and notices it is unable to see her or Tye in its current location.

Chalker and Dain find the end of their tunnel and enter into it, and Intrinsius and Kray do the same on their end. Nia overhears the mage yelling, “I’m clearing the smoke”, and Trask screaming, “this is a pre-cursor to an attack. Go for the bolt hole! The one in the back.” Nia quickly climbs down the wall to let Chalker know. Tye quickly tells Nia that he may go in through the front door if she doesn’t object.

Intrinsius enters the tunnel with both swords drawn, leading Kray down the tunnel. Dain leads Chalker down the tunnel in the rear.

Nia catches up to Chalker and lets him know that everyone is heading towards him through that bolt hole in the back. Chalker informs Intrinsius and urges him and Kray to come in behind Trask by continuing through their bolt hole, to which Intrinsius agrees. Nia darts 10 feet in front of the group and casts Glue on the ground.

Intrinsius moves at speed and uses forced entry on the door to enter the room. The room is filled with smoke and visibility is minimal. Quickly scanning the room and continuing to move forward, Intrinsius finds the other bolt hole and runs towards it. Out of the corner of his eye he sees Tye entering the room while casting spell. As he reaches the bolt hole, Intrinsius finds a guard holding a throwing axe which he promptly throws at Intrinsius narrowly missing him. Intrinsius responds with double thrusts from his swords which the dwarves guard miraculously dodges.

Chalker sees a guard coming down the corridor ahead of him, followed by another guard and the mage. Chalker quickly uses the dagger magekiller via telekinesis to stab the dwarves mage behind Trask saying “one less mage”. The 2nd guard uses the first guard as a launching pad to get over the next hex and past the glue spell. He somehow makes it just in time for Dain to step out and strike at him. Miraculously the guard dodges, but in the process somehow buries his axe in the 3rd guard coming up behind him.

Nia faces off agains a guard and uses a spell to unbuckle the belt that holds up his weapons. It promptly fall down to his legs restricting his mobility. Dain takes a swing at guard 2 who tries to dodge but instead falls forward onto his face in front of Dain and Nia.

Intrinsius does another double stab at the guard and this times connects with both causing extensive damage to the guard. This is followed by another double stab that connects yet again with the dwarves guard saying a word in Dwarven that leaves the guards behind him with a scared look on their faces. Intrinsius drops his swords and casts and throws a fireball at the second guard. Following this, all the remaining guards kneel on the floor and say something that Intrinsius can’t understand in Dwarven.

At this, the fight ended and the group took the survivors into custody. Chalker finds a strange object from Trask as well as all his weapons and gold.

== Rebellion in Helm’s Deep==

 

As the group leaves the shop on their way to Trask’s home, they notice that there are being followed by a human miner with middling magic potential and a halfling merchant. Noting this, the group continued into the depths of the mountain towards Trask’s Home.

As they near Trask’s home, the group stops and waits until the Miner passed by and stop him to speak and tell him that he was being followed by a halfling. Meanwhile, Nia quietly drops back and surprises the halfling by saying into his ear, that miner told us that you’re following us. After a brief chat with the halfling in thieve’s cant, Nia learns that the human is an agent of Gasket, one of 10 or so agents that have entered the city in the last 10 days.

The group spends several minutes speaking with the halfling

When they reach the gates of Trask Loadbreaker’s home, they find magical watchdog spells throughout the street heading up to the door.

Upon entering the front door into the courtyard, the find a sleeping dwarf guard with a giant battle axe. Intrinsius motions to Chalker to take the battle axe, which he does using his telekinesis. Nia then sneaks close to the guard and glues him to the ground.

The enter a crossways with two arched door ways on either side and two corridors slanting off in either direction at forty-five degree angles. Chalker decides to split the group in two. Chalker, Dain and Nia go down the corridor on the left, while Intrinsius, Kray and Tye go down the right.

Down the left corridor they can hear 3 or more voices in dwarves while the right corridor they can hear only 2 voices. After a brief discussion, the group splits.

Down the right corridor, Intrinsius casts Continual light on a mana stone in his pocket and begins to travel down the corridor as quietly as possible. 30 feet down the corridor there is a empty room on the right, since the voices are still ahead Intrinsius and company continue down the corridor. 30 feet farther down, there is a corridor that seems to go in the direction of the previous corridor on the left, however they continue on as the voices are still just ahead. Finally they come to a room on the left from which the voices are coming. Kray let’s Intrinsius know that it appears to be a mage and someone else discussing plans for an ambush of some sort. After asking Kray how to say “I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about the planning session” in dwarven, Intrinsius walks into the room and says it. The military dwarf inside the room says something in Dwarven, to which Intrinsius doesn’t respond and just walks up to the table and begins inspecting the plans. He then says, “This is all wrong, you need to start over” in common, to which the dwarf says “who are you?”. Responding in the Eastern language he knew as a mercenary, Intrinsius says “You know nothing about war” to which the Dwarf responds that he better know the password. Intrinsius punches to the right casting Flame Jet which flies out of his fist and hits the mage 2 yards to his right. At this Tye and Kray enter the room. Tye casts a lighting bolt at the mage who dodges away towards Intrinsius, while Kray attacks the dwarven soldier who parries. As that happens, Intrinsius smoothly quick draws both of his swords, the flaming Katana biting deeply into the mage putting him down instantly, while his longsword is blocked by the soldier. Upon seeing the mage falling, the soldier immediately surrenders.

On the left corridor, Chalker, Nia and Dain begin to walk stealthily down the corridor. At the door, Chalker asks Nia to cast glue in front of the door. After this, Chalker grabs an ax with his telekinesis and uses it to attack the leg of one of the guards inside the room. This results in the 6 or so people inside the room coming running out. The first soldier bursts right through the glue.
[missed]

Nia casts a spell that causes the bandolier that holds the throwing axes of the dwarf she is facing to unfasten. This results in the bandolier falling down between his legs and tripping him up, sticking him at last in the glue.

Chalker draws dink-dink to face down one of the dwarves. […], the dwarf’s head is nearly severed from its body.[…]

== Rebellion in Helm’s Deep==

Chalker, Nia and Ty are inside the room facing Mr. Chaos and Mr. Order. After a brief discussion with Chalker they agree to leave unless engaged. Walking through the doors, Chalker tells Intrinsius to let them through, but Intrinsius requests they use a different exit as there are soldiers trying to get in the front door.

The bodyguard (Mr. Chaos and Mr. Order) mention a secret passage that can be used to exit. Nia begins to search the Baron’s body finding a bone dagger on him with a fancy sheath. After that she begins to rummage through the room looking for anything else. Dain runs towards the back door to secure it.

Nia finds two magical parchment documents made of what appears to be human skin in a hidden drawer of the desk which she is unable to read, although they seem to be an encrypted version of common. There is also a ledger of some sort which she pockets. Deciding to take quickness over thoroughness, Nia begins to search as quickly (and messily) as possible.

A loud crash is heard from the back of the room and Dain shouts, “Back door is secure”. Intrinsius walks over to the door and casts a heat spell, melting the lock and door knob into one chunk of metal before reinforcing the door with furniture from a nearby room. Intrinsius notices that the mana of the manor seems to be corrupted in some way.

As Nia continues her search, she finds 6 vials of blood of some type of human, elf or halfling. In addition she finds a pouch filled with some type of dirt, which she assumes is graveyard dirt. She also find a locked safe. Casting the Lockmaster spell, she is quickly able to open the safe. She strongly believes that the safe is trapped as the lock spell on the safe was much too easy to counter. Using her knowledge of traps, she figures that the trap will be triggered by the opening of the safe. Ty tries to dispel the magic trap on the safe, but his spell is resisted, with Ty exclaiming that the trap must have been cast by a master mage. Chalker goes to the safe and looks through the walls (after some resistance) to see a vial of what appears to be a magical mana organ from a small animal (like a wolverine) found in the peninsula kingdoms. Chalker informs the group there is nothing in there but the trap and recommends the group leaves right away.

Intrinsius searches all the 4 guards he downed with Dain for weapons and money and share 1/2 the cash with Dain. Chalker calls Dain forward and they follow Mr. Chaos and Mr. Order out the secret passage, passing several traps that have been disarmed and finally letting out into the city of Helm’s Deep. The bodyguards veer off to the right as the group heads back into Helm’s Deep to the store from which they departed earlier to wait for Kray to return.

Sitting in the backroom, they review the items Nia found. Intrinsius determines that the vials are 2 human, 2 elven and 2 halfling. The blood looks fresh and its warded so cannot determine how it is kept so fresh. Both he and Chalker try to get past the encryption but were unable. Nia and Dain were also unable to make heads or tails of it. After a while, Kray returns to the store and they begin to check with him if he has any contacts that deal with code breaking.

Chalker asks Dain to pull the bone dagger from the sheath. Intrinsius immediately senses its magic as the blade is pulled. He thinks it wreaks of everything that Dar hates as well as strongly of Necromancy. Both he and Nia sense that the dagger was used recently. With the blade only exposed by about 3 inches, Nia strongly suggest that Dain return the bone dagger back fully into its sheath before something evil is attracted to them, which he does quickly.

Intrinsius suggests that they make copies of the encrypted documents, Ty casts the copy spell and makes 2 copies of each document. Intrinsius takes 1 copy to search for .. to find a code breaker, while Chalker takes the original and the remaining copy and items to the Temple of Dar.

Intrinsius and Ty head out in search of Ike, finding that they are being followed by a few people but head into the pub where Ike previously saw Ike. He is there per usual, and Intrinsius sends him a drink while ordering him lunch for himself and Ty. Intrinsius has a conversation with Ike in which he provides free information in regards to the death of the Baron, how his head was severed by a sword of fire (cauterized neck wounds), and intimated that the Baron was involved in necromancy. Ike agreed to provide a codebreaker and safe house in exchange for the information that may come out of the broken code.

Chalker, Nia, Kray and Dain head to the temple of Dar. Upon arrival they see 3 dwarves engaged in conversation with a priestess of Dara. At the back of the alter is a mid-level priest of Damarot that appears to not be connected to any one aspect. Upon entering, Chalker heads directly to the alter accompanied by Kray and Nia. As they near the alter, Nia feels the “special" rune stone in her pocket try to dig deeper into the pocket in which it is kept. Kray looks very uncomfortable, so Chalker asks him to go back to the entrance and wait with Dain.

When Chalker removes the dagger, a priest appears as if teleporting. The priest looks at them both with a soul penetrating gaze. He points each index finger at each of them and says under his breath “Silence the area”, after which a nearby acolyte who had snuck up behind them whisper, “These are highly blasphemous items that have served against the realm of Dar and are an affront to Dara. Damarot is united in its disgust of these items. Why are they here?”.

Chalker reaches over and clasps hands with Nia, and focuses his willpower on the priest. A startled Nia goes along with Chalker’s hand-holding with a distinctly puzzled look on her face. Chalker then proclaims, “We confronted a necromancer in your City today that was using these items. I being me, have decided that since you didn’t know you should know and brought them here rather then destroy them myself.” The priest looking mollified responded that they were wise to bring them to Dar. The priest takes a step away while raising his hands in placation asking if they would like an audience with the temples High Priest. Chalker answered in the negative and just asked that they destroy the items and ask what they are doing about the necromancers, stating that this Necromancer was Baron Dozel, to which the priest reacted in a very visible note of surprise. Chalker inquired if the priests of Dar were aware of what the necromancers in the area are after, to which the priests required they did not know but are working on find out with their Death Dancers. Chalker proclaimed that he had never heard of Death Dancers before to which the priest responded he shouldn’t have. Chalker asks for some direction, saying without it he is afraid more people will die.

Nia feels the rune stone move again in her pocket but rather than cower it felt relaxed. At the same time, there seems to be some force trying to search her mind to which the stone gives her the power to control what feedback is returned to the caster. Nia initially stalled the interaction, but eventually let the force into her mind. The priest was definitely surprised and with a note of respect asks if they would like to speak with the high priest in private chambers.
He does note that he would like to know that if Chalker is here as an official capacity for Mensep or not, to which Chalker replies that he is not knowingly here on Mensep’s behalf.

Chalker suddenly feels the power of Roo emanating from Nia’s pocket, and he also feels that the objects on the alter have somewhat been dampened. The priest politely requests the party to follow him to the inner sanctum with body language that implores Chalker and company to accept the invitation. Nia sees a vision of a regal image of the priest turning and walking into the inner sanctum.

As they walk to the inner sanctum, everyone around them seem to be frozen in time including Dain and Kray who still stand near the entrance. They enter a well lit room with torches ensconced on the walls. The room seems to have some impressive guards posted at each entrance but show little interest in watching Chalker and Nia as they enter. Both of them walk quietly into the sanctum overcome by the ever increasing feeling of holiness to the rooms as they move deeper into the sanctum.

Meanwhile, Intrinsius and Ty reach the warded room provided by Ike, who shows them how to attune the room to themselves. Ty inspects the location and Intrinsius asks Ty to attune the locking mechanism to himself. The two of them then walk around the city until Intrinsius bumps into a random bigger, acting as if he was retrieving the copied encrypted documents. He then searches for some street kids who he hires to watch the back entryway to the safe house for a copper each payable after Intrinsius leaves, and buys each of them fireworks to setoff in the event that armed people attempt to enter or surround the back exit of the safe house. The street kids looking excited are eager to watch. After that, Intrinsius and Ty return to the safe house and wait inside.

Chalker and Nia enter the inner sanctum, to which they see the high priest who looks exactly as the image that Nia saw in her mind earlier. The priest speaks directly into Nia’s mind proclaiming it is an honor to have her here. Chalker notices the priest checking them out and assumes by his pointed looks he is speaking directly to Nia via her mind. Nia advises to include Chalker (the envoy of Mensep) into the discussion. The High Priest wants to know if the discussion should be mental or physical, to which Nia responds physical.

The priest then proclaims, “Greetings current and potential future Envoy of Mensep, greetings envoy of Roo. It is an honor to welcome you to the sanctum of Dar.” Nia keeps the mental channel open (to be polite), but continues the verbal discussion. Thanking them for the necromancer artifacts, the high priest explains what they are doing to deal with the items. The High Priest offers refreshments during their discussion. Chalker and Nia both refuse food.

Chalker brings out the documents on human skin parchment and asks the High Priest if he can read. The priest handles the documents and says that he believes these are contract documents. He also says that the current struggles are a manifest of the struggles between Santash and Assaraah, and he would like to know if there are surrogates of either involved in the struggle for Helm’s Deep.

Chalker asks about Trask Loadbreaker’s observances. He seems to be equally visiting Santash, Assaraah and Aaoo, although it is obvious he is a separatist of the empire. He recently visited the temples of Santash, Assaraah, and Phor. The High Priest exclaims that he thinks Helm’s Deep is at the eye of the storm. He also claims that Roo should be able to give you more specific guidance as to why you are here, to which Nia proclaims that Roo’s guidance isn’t always clear. The High Priest says he can give no specific guidance, but that they will spend their effort hunting down every necromancer in Helm’s Deep.

Chalker tells the High Priest that if he has anything further to say he will go above him and speak directly with Dar, to which the priest mentally asks to Nia if this guy is serious or if he has been touched by the lips of Aaoo. Nia just responds, “Yes”. Chalker stands up gives a bow and makes his leave, Nia does the same. As they walk to the door, the priest says there are at least 4 people waiting outside the temple for them and gives them the choice to leave unnoticed or meet them.

Meanwhile, a firm knock at the door on the safe house leads Ty to look expectantly at Intrinsius as he stands up. Intrinsius affirms him to answer the door. In walks an elderly human man introduce as Tiberius. Intrinsius negotiates the rates with Tiberius 2 hours 40, 4 hours 20, 6 hours 10 gold. Intrinsius takes out the travel book and shares the rates with Chalker and ask what he learned about the parchments, learning they are contracts. Intrinsius negotiates the rate to 10 gold for 2 hours. Intrinsius gives directions to the closest pub to the safe house for Chalker and company to wait.

Chalker, Nia and party move to the pub for lunch while Intrinsius sends Ty to update the team. Ty meets up and update the team before returning to the safe house.

After a meal, Nia and Chalker head to the home of Baron Mandall accompanied by Dain and Kray. The manor is roughly 1/2 the size of the previous baron’s estate with roughly twice the amount of guards stationed throughout along with 3 large war dogs. Obviously, the manor is on alert after the death of Baron Dozel.

Chalker approaches the gate and says, “Hi, how you doing? Did you hear want happened to Baron Dozel?”. He continues to give detailed information about the state of each body and how they were found. After further discussion, he leaves after receiving an invitation to meet the Baron in person, making an appointment to meet him tomorrow at the same time, saying “I hope nothing happens to you tonight!” As he walks away. As they walk away, Nia gets a message from the stone to “Be diligent”.

Returning in the direction of the safe house, Nia notices the group is being followed by some of the guards. Whispering to Chalker a warning, the group eventually finds a nice dark alley way to hide in. Upon entering the alley way, Nia notices immediately that she can climb these walls quite easily.

At the safe room, there is a knock at the door. The guard outside tells Intrinsius about a low-level mage that is asking about a person in the description of Chalker, and even says the name Chalker Jackson. Intrinsius mentions that he once met Chalker in Malprin and proceeds to describe Chalker using his memory of the front desk at the Mercenary Guild in Sapphire. When the guard says this doesn’t match the description he was given, but was likely someone impersonating the real Chalker Jackson, Intrinsius says that it must be the famous assassin Ahn-lee Gad, to which he gives a close description of Chalker. The guard gulps as this matches the description he has exactly and says, “so a master assassin from Sapphire is here in Helm’s Deep!”.

Back in the Alleyway, Nia takes to the walls and roof to await the following guards. Chalker takes up a position behind his “meat shields”, while Dain hides behind a nearby crate. As the guards enter the alley, Chalker senses various metal on their persons to prepare for combat. As the guards walk down the alleyway, Nia casts Grease on the path in front of them. Chalker swings the flat of his blade at one of the guards to try to knock him out, hitting him in the head as he slipped and fell to the ground hitting his head hard on the ground. Both guards entering the alley way have slipped on the grease and get pulled into hiding by Chalker and Dain. Chalker does first aid on the one he brought down and then proceeds to question him. The guard, Doug, told Chalker he was following them back to where they came from to decide where to strike him.

The contracts when translated says that the blood will bind these Barons to the contract to Dozel. The binding by blood is quite important, while Dozel was the primary it is obvious that the Second is Mandall and the 3rd is Ziel. Intrinsius gives the Translator an extra 1gp and asks him to not mention Ziel in his report, and asks him to wait 1 minute after he leaves before going.

Intrinsius and Ty leave and pay the street kids before taking a long walk and eventually going to the pub to meet the team where he hands the letters to both Chalker and Nia with the greeting, “Here you go Ahn-Lee”. Chalker and Nia realize that the contract seems to be a binding loyalty spell to the one they were writing the contract with. Intrinsius realizes that this is more than a loyalty spell than a contract but Chalker and Nia think it can be transferred. Intrinsius realizes that with blood and the appropriate spell this could be transferred to someone else soon.

Ty says he can transfer the spell, and Intrinsius asks Chalker to put his hand out. When he does he slices Chalker’s hand as Ty casts the spell to transfer the Loyalty to Chalker, however the spell fails due to the time since the death of Dozel.

After much discussion, the team decides to go to the top and go after Trask.
