We investigated The Hungry Hunter and found it to be empty. Dax found a secret stash inside a barrel, finding some contraband disguised as a couple kegs of beer, a baguette, and an egg box. Inside we found blasting powder, a wand, exploding seeds, and 500 gp. We recognized it as belonging to the Gentleman, and it was all marked with his coaster as well. > > While we discussed what to do, I sent a message to the Gentleman letting him know we'd found it, and he indicated he'd like it all returned. A heated discussion ensued, which involved me coming clean to everyone that I'd been sort of working for the Gentleman the whole time, in exchange for information. The party wasn't happy, but in the end they agreed to at least give back some of the stuff we'd found. > > We continued to Zadash and met up with Reya and Kalani. Kalani told us there had been a tremor in Zadash, and that there were rumours that the Kryn were riding purple worms underground. > > We decided to go to the Evening Nip to talk to the Gentleman. Wally antagonized him immediately, and the Gentleman refused to back down. Dax insisted on getting Scura's blood back, at which the Gentleman asked me if I wanted it back. I said no, and he suggested we spend some time discussing whether we wanted to steal from him while drinking coffee. ^summary %% ## Video <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T2t1apZjb-A" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> [Video](https://youtu.be/T2t1apZjb-A) 00:00:00 Round 7 - Milla's turn 00:03:20 Xenia's turn 00:10:12 Wally's turn 00:13:47 Scura's turn - HDYWTDT 00:24:41 Terra moves into the inn 00:34:32 The new church of Raei 00:42:47 Hollow barrel 00:58:23 Until you do an item thing 01:00:26 How the TWC got the powder 01:05:55 These guys are jerkholes 01:07:44 Um I kind of already Sent a message 01:12:01 Andy moves us along 01:16:46 There's room for 500 more gp 01:20:06 Wally relents to give The Gentleman a chance 01:24:26 Just a completely random example from Dax 01:26:08 What if The Gentleman gave other things? 01:28:50 Scura's a Myriad operative 01:29:45 You ARE a Myriad operative! 01:30:20 This is a toxic relationship 01:32:29 Did we want to kill the Jagentoths 01:40:30 Xenia Insight checks Scura 01:42:20 Break 01:49:30 Back 01:53:03 Discord sound hijinks 01:54:54 Forgot to tell you I gave him my blood 01:58:20 Blood transfusion 02:00:00 We finally head to Zadash 02:07:17 Reya!!! 02:23:04 Zadashboard and the Evening Nip 02:30:26 Who's running the Hungry Hunter? 02:38:09 Does she like it? 02:40:34 Trade for Scura's blood 02:46:10 End %% --- ## Recap ![[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/083_20230404 Take me to church#^summary]] ## Log ![[1681237158005 - Combat]] We start at Round 7 - A: Guiding Bolt - HDYWTDT! Wally goes to the door. It's all boarded up and there are tar marks. Terra goes in first. Chairs and tables - there's been a fight or something. It's like the tar ghouls have been here - there are scorch marks on the walls. This place is a tavern called [[The Hungry Hunter]]. Wally starts investigating. Xenia gives spellcasters a catnap. Wally takes the money for the Church of Raei. Dax uses Thieves' Tools to open the door. There is a false front to one of the barrels. The barrell opens. There is a doolr out the back of it! There are a couple of kegs of beer. There's a baguette and an egg box. And a small lockbox. The labels of the beer come off easily and there's powder inside, not beer. Inside the egg box are not eggs but five little brass spheres. They are exploding seeds-- one is missing. The kegs are blasting powder kegs. The baguette has inside it a smallish stick with coloured globes. #sending to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Gentleman|The Gentleman]]: > Just got to zadash. Found beer kegs and eggs from Hupperdook that we gave you. Unattended. What's going on? ^c32373 The Gentleman responds: > Welcome back. That is most perturbing. If you say found can I assume stolen or discovered? I would be grateful for their return with explanation ^7f99e7 The false back leads into a tunnel. It's very long and filled with bats. It looks like someone built it a long time ago.In one direction it's blocked. In the other direction it seems to be going towards Zadash. We talk about whether we should return the stuff to The Gentleman. Wally doesn't like working for him and is convinced he's a bad person, but finally relents to at least give him some of his stuff back. I say that we should give him back his stuff. Xenia just wants the money. Dax lets slip that when you work for scum people, you get taken from your home, you never see your family again, and you have to rescue some random guard captain to clear your name... a completely random example. I come clean to the party about The Gentleman. They're not happy! Xenia learns about The Marrow War that went on in the Julous Dominion, which became the Dwendalian Empire. It was probably around here in Zadash. We go to [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Crossed Pikes|The Crossed Pikes]]. Kalani's uncle [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Marius Almar|Marius Almar]], the pet monkey, [[Jingles]]. We meet [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Reya|Reya]] and [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Kalani|Kalani]]. The name of the tavern we went into was The Hungry Hunter. Kalani said it was the Gentleman's place. The Gentleman's tunnels are a way to smuggle contraband outside of the city. Leaving a deposit there means they'll find their way outside the city. Kalani said there have been weird tremors recently. There was just one instance a couple days ago. Kalani said there are rumours of [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Kryn Dynasty|Kryn]] riding purple worms underneath Zadash. [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Evening Nip|The Evening Nip]]. [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Clive|Clive]] had a half-burnt beard. [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Kutha|Kutha]], [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/The Gentleman|The Gentleman]]. Wally antagonizes the Gentleman, asking him who was running the place for him, and the Gentleman insists on getting the items first. Dax insists on getting Scura's blood back, trying to save her from scum people. The Gentleman gives us some time to drink our coffee and reconsider our actions.
