Party: Fir, Egil, Detho and Vholantus Sumquaes.
The City of Vertange - AFB 97
In a city where secrets are a currency more dear than coin,
what you know can get you into trouble easier than what you don't know.
It all starts with a letter. A noble seeking assistance, offering to meet the party in the Area Vulgaris.
The party decides to head over to a tavern known as the Abbeverato, where they arrive before their meet is due.
They seek out a table and are seen by the locals as... unusual. A group of Galetto swordsmen have been sizing up the fighters at the table and stake their claim on the party's coin.
A brutal fight later leaves all the attackers in the clutches of whichever deity would take their souls in the afterlife.
Conto Abbeva, the tavernkeeper, tries to restore order best he can but fails to do so before... "Don Inconnue", the alias used by monsieur Louix du Pleur de Nicheries, enters and seats himself at the party's table.
The group discusses the issues with Louix (and frankly, interrogates him), before discovering there are men who want to see him dead, because he is to bring testimony at the court of Scales tomorrow at noon.
What he asks from the party is protection so he can stand witness and he promises coin for their efforts.
The group takes him up on the offer, and after debating which location would serve best to keep him safe, head out for the Temple of the Order of the Scorched Oath, where Fir knows enough folks to ensure sanctuary and where Rachel, another friend, currently studies the deep Mysteries.
As the group makes their way there, they walk into an ambush and fight their way free, to arrive at the Temple for the evening.
