# [[108_20231017 Daisy Chain of Dames]]
## Session Summary
> [!tldr] [[108_20231017 Daisy Chain of Dames]]
> While Milla, Scura, and Dax were trying to be stealthy, the men accosted a poor young servant girl named Delilah. Wally cast Sleep on her, then carried her into the kitchen as a way to get into the house. They then tried to sneak into the stables, and then when they made too much noise, they ended up meeting the girls in the cellar.
>
> We hid in the cellar and also found a secret passageway in there. We followed it, and came to a room with a portcullis guarded by two beefier-looking Special Force types that we dispatched pretty quickly. We found two hand carts in there that had residuum. As we were trying to work out how to get past the portcullis, Xenia realised that the door behind us had had *Alarm* set on it, which meant that more goons were likely on their way to see who had broken in. ^summary

⭐ Having an NPC with a speech impediment.
⭐ The little inside jokes and teasing that remind me of our time together.
⭐ (I think) Wally goes dark/Tyler goes secret agent on Delilah.
⭐ Finding a Little Red Riding Delilah.
⭐ The confusion that ensued after the group met up in the cellar, and we realised we'd each understood the situation differently. SO chaotic!
⭐ The fact that the boys accosted a servant girl, lied to the cook, tried to steal wine, claimed they were leaving and then hid from the guards... meanwhile, the girls just stealthed into the cellar.
⭐ Andy's map was still really nice!
🪄 Sjoerd had been there.
🪄 We'd had more time in person together.
🪄 Lulu were feeling better. <3

## Recap
![[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/107_20231010 Vineyard Vengeance and the Well-Groomed Husband#^summary]]
---
## Log
Milla stealths with me and Dax.
Coming out of the eastern entrance is a young human girl. Servant girl's outfit, looking smart.
![[twc-delilah.png]]
She's going out to see her friend [[Will]], whose family home was damaged in the earthquake. She says that Mistress Errenath doesn't open her home to strangers except once a year in the wine festival.
Wally casts *Sleep* on her and then cuts himself and then puts it at the back of her head. Guards call her [[Delilah Rose]]. They say they can take her back to the kitchen and Cook will look after her.
The Cook's name is [[Zana]]. It's meant to be Delilah's day off.
- She says some people went to the estate and then she doesn't know where they went.
- [[Lyari Errenath]] is single. She never decided to marry despite lots of interest.
I sneak in and look at the cart. There's a double door that goes into a wine making workshop room or something. There's a wine press or something. There's a podium with buckets where the grapes would go in. There's a winch and pully thing descending into the floor.
[[Lincoln]] and [[Lief]] are the two guards.
We go down into the cellar.
- It's quite large, most of the length of the house.
- Vaulted cellar, made of stone.
Xenia casts third level Hold Person. We knock them out and make them unconscious.
On the back wall, there is soot on the ceiling and a clear arc on the floor that has been cleared of dust. It's a secret passageway leading to another room. In that room we see two slightly beefier guards in front of a portcullis into a longer tunnel behind them.
One has blond hair scooped back. The othe ris also blond, with cropped hair. Both a bit Special Forces.
![[1697574440394 - Combat]]
- BA: Shillelagh
- A: Attack
- Move
Guard 1 is [[Leyendas]].
Guard 2 ??
12 gp. Xenia takes two daggers.
There are two hand carts. Inside one is some green dust that Xenia examines. It is called [[ttrpgs/Temporary White Circle/Residuum|Residuum]] and is the residue of arcane energy. It amplifies arcane objects and enchantments.
Xenia sees that the door behind us has been *Alarm*ed, and the portcullis is also magical.
