# [[001_20210901 Drugging Hallia]] ## Session summary "Dariel" has told Rakesh, the half man, half tiger owner (?) of the Lavish Chateau, that I and my two companions, Teorin the tiefling rogue and Thunu the goliath barbarian, are the perfect people to steal back the Heirloom Sphere. He tells us that he works for the Kryn Dynasty, and that the Sphere was stolen from _them_ and we need to steal it back. He warns us that there is a rival party, called _The Knight's Kiss_, with female drow assassins, that are trying to get the Sphere too. We spend two days scoping out the Exalted Collection, where the Sphere will be auctioned off (on Day 4). Teorin makes friends with Hallia, one of the workers at the Exalted Collection. She seems to be a dealer of a drug called Moradin's powder. Teorin feeds Hallia a potion of poison. We loot her body and find gold, a dagger, an amulet, and some Moradin powder. We decide that I will take the shape of Hallia and go to work, pretending to be her. I enter through the front door, take the key, unlock the door, and walk down a turret, evading the spine devils that sense the amulet I'm wearing. I find Teorin and Thunu breaking in through the sewers and on top of a mage. Teorin and I manage to convince the mage that we are on his side, and he lets us pass. We get to a hallway where there are eyes in the stones. Thunu takes her potion of Diminution and I pocket her. When I step closer, I hear a dwarf say that he's recognized me, and I see two vaults guarded by two barbed devils and a bald dwarf that is looking into water and seeing through the eyes in the stones out the front. Just as I am trying to convince them not to attack my friends, the dwarf says that there are two others attempting to break in, and the devil flies past us and goes to attack them. ^summary ## Description of Quenya ![[quenya.png]] You don't see Quenya at first, but then you look down and you see a shock of pink hair in pigtails looking back up at you. She has a small, childish face, big gray eyes, and a pair of large goggles that are constantly slipping down her head and onto her eyes. She's wearing pants that have a little grease on them and a loose-fitting dark shirt. She's smiling at everyone, but beneath the smile there's also an element of guardedness to her, like someone who is always watching for trouble. ## Comentarios de Quenya *Que los dioses te bendigan*: Guidance *Perno de fuego*: Fire Bolt *Perno de bruja*: Witch Bolt *Beso de Lolth*: Kiss from Lolth *Que haya luz*: Light *Escúchame*: Charm Person *Que tus heridas se curen*: Cure Wounds *Mejórate*: Healing word *Protegeme*: Mage Armor *Bendíceme, quien me escucha*: Favored by the gods *Tengo prisa*: Quickened spell *Prestame la piel de otra persona*: Shapechange *ballesta*: crossbow *daga*: dagger *punto de hechicería*: sorcery point *spell*: hechizo *Rezo*: I pray *una oración*: a prayer ## Log Nicodranas, in the Lavish Chateau. ![[heirloom_sphere_heist-thunu.png]] Jayne: Thunu stonefrightner - Taller, 7' tall - pink hair, undercut - great axe - biker jacket and jeans - Green skin with black stripes - Goliath ![[heirloom_sphere_heist-teorin.png]] Joy: Teorin - Not so tall - Not such a happy face - light purple skin - tiefling with horns that she tries to hide - jacket Rakesh - slouching on pillars - half man, half tiger "Dariel" ![[heirloom_sphere_heist-rakesh.png]] - Works for kryn dynasty and they're tracking the Heirloom sphere, which will be auctioned in 3 days. - Rival organization is looking to steal it too. - 500 gp now, 1500 upon completion - Sphere is underneath the vault of the auction house (The Exalted Collection) - Works for royal house and he will give it back to the matriarch - Who are the rivals? - Myriad has two assassins: The Knight's Kiss, female drow and very lethal, but they don't work well in sunlight Exalted Collection is in the Opal Archways, a large and opulent area - ancient magnolia trees planted in the center - large building with massive statues of humanoids with magpie heads next to the main entrance: gilded double doors with big windows on either side of the statues (stained glass) Skill challenge - Teorin investigation: success - glass dome on the roof - there's an alleyway next to the auction house with a gate that makes us think there is a cellar there - Thunu: athletics: failure - She gets up on the roof but she breaks a statue - dim lighting from within the glass dome - She sees a dumbwaiter installed to get artifacts from the vaults to the stage - Quenya: 10 for deception: failure - guard that looks like he was a sailor, sideburns - I get a pamphlet - Heirloom Sphere: golden crystalline sphere - white and blue marble floors counters with different people behind them - one with a lens in the eye appraising a vase - 2 well-armored security guards - Teorin: perception: success - One of the employees leaves at 5pm and comes back a bit later.

Teorin has difficulty picking the lock. Man wearing long red robes, pale face, definitely a mage. ![[the_mage.png]] He is addicted to the Moradin powder. ![[heirloom_heist-sewers map.png]] HP transmutation He guards the entrance of the sewers. He gets cheese for "Whiskers", the rat. I cast Locate Object. Hallway to my left that I ignored when I heard the mage scream. ==I am concentrating on Locate Object.== Teorin notices that the stones are almost organic. There are three slits that fixate on a stone that Teorin throws. Thunu takes the Potion of Diminution, and I pocket her. > Reduce. The target's size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal. This reduction decreases its size by one category--from Medium to Small, for example. Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. The target's weapons also shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced, the target's attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (this can't reduce the damage below 1). I step closer to the eyes and I hear: "Oh, Hallia's coming." I go through. There are two vaults. There's a barbed devil, pretty massive. Grey skin, covered in spikes. There is a dwarf with a bald head and an eye tattooed on the head. There is a door north and west. ![[heirloom_sphere_heist-barbed_devil.png]] Devils: (in Infernal) "The boss already refreshed the codes. What are you doing here?" Dwarf: "There's a tiefling approaching." I try to convince them that they are my friends. The devils don't speak Common, but seem to understand the dwarf when he speaks Common. The devils speak Infernal, so I can't understand them. Teorin creeps up, hearing them speak in Infernal, and just as I try to convince the devils not to attack, the dwarf says, "Two people are breaking in through the sewers". The devil rushes past us to try to defend against this new threat. And we'll end there! Because the two players we're getting next time are the new threat. :D
