Day 21 (Night)
- We inform Sir Reldler of the plot to assassinate Lord Tiaden.
- We then go to the Eternal Flame to inform the Lord.
- We inspect the guard currently looking after him and find they are doing a good job.
- We decide to sleep downstairs just in case.
- The night passes uneventfully.
Day 22
- In the morning we spot a suspicious fellow at breakfast.
- We keep an eye on him as Tiaden announces he will be giving a speech to the assembled refugees.
- Tharo sits on the roof as an observer/sniper.
- Culain stands next to Lord Tiaden as a bodyguard.
- Farya stands behind the podium to offer speedy medical assistance.
- Harold and two guards patrol the crowd.
- Suspicious fellow is suspicious. (But ultimately not involved in the plot)
- A number of people are accused of theft and escorted away before they can do any harm.
- An unknown wizard teleports away once he/she/it is spotted.
- One of Tiadens guards is acting suspicious and is incapacitated rather messily by Farya.
- A bowman gets his bowstring cut by Harold.
- An assassin charges the podium but runs into the brick wall known as Culain.
- A cloaked figure is taken out by Culain and Harold before he can properly use his lightning powers.
- The speech ends and Tiaden is still alive.
- Mission Accomplished!
- The prisoners are taken to the dungeons.
- We attempt to question one of them.
- He's a doppelganger.
- He manages to escape us and frees some of his comrades.
- We kill most of them leaving only two alive.
- The remaining two (non-doppelgangers) tell us everything they know (Which isn't a lot)
- They were hired by someone they met in the bar.
- Their employer was clad in a dark cloak, they never saw his face.
- The assassins didn't know each other before the job and were all mercenaries from elsewhere.
- There are three assassins still at large:
- Two halflings who didn't show up on the day.
- The wizard who teleported away
- We raid their safe-house and find loot.
