Session 10: Pulling out of Deepbush

After escaping the cave, our heroes split up. Grayscream took one of the wounded elves back to the tavern to heal him while the rest of the group devised their next steps. Using the dick jerky as a smelling salt of sorts, Nesbiit was able to rouse Rarunex from his roofie-bomb induced slumber. Rarunex suggested hiding out in Freyden, a much larger city with more nooks and crannies to hide adventurers on the run.

Meanwhile, after a little digging, Gavroche learned that while no abductions have taken place in Freyden, the newly appointed leader is widely regarded to be a puppet. Just whose puppet they are remains an unknown. Although Gavroche's bardic knowledge was spot-on, her sleight of hand was subpar, and she was caught stealing wine from the tavern bar. This led to two Elven conscripts, initially distracted by Liet, entering the bar to investigate the source of the raucous. As the ensuing argument grew heated, Nesbitt attempted to conceal herself as a leper by utilizing her soggy steak dinner one last time. All too familiar with disappointing steak dinners, the Elves saw through her disguise, but not before Mojo barreled down the stairs, beginning yet another bar fight.

After a scuffle, the two elves were convinced to join forces with our heroes, who at least give the appearance of wanting to help free the captured Elven families. The two elves warned the characters that there are many, many more Drow looking for them after their exploits back at the cave, and that they should leave town immediately. They rejoined with Grayscream and decided to head to Freyden. The journey to Freyden was uneventful thanks to the group's well-disguised campsite, and upon their arrival in the larger city, they were offered shelter with Rarunex's friend, the candle caster. They accepted begrudgingly, still not wholly trusting Rarunex. Nevertheless, the candle-caster sold the group a number of candles.
