DAY 10 (21st Ches) continued...
We also found a letter written in code, but which Fenrir managed to decipher. It mentioned that Esvele, the
head of the Dungsweeper's Guild was being 'looked after' at Fred O'Furs warehouse.
We went along for a look and kept the place under observation all night. We felt a little weak after
todays fight and didn't really fancy another one. Nes was a busted flush as well and needed some rest.
Me and Fen decide to go talk to Vernon though, to see what he could tell us about the place. Jensile my
civilar said we could talk to him but that we were, under no circumstances, to kill him.
As usual in the guard house he was shackled to a chair and Fenrir started with the technique he describes
as 'water boarding' something that he seemed to take great delight in.
When Vernon refused to talk Fen started to hit him over the head with the ladle he had been using. I
looked at him quizzically and he said, 'Don't worry, were-creatures only take damage from silver and the
like, we can hit him all day!'
I shrugged and struck Vernon a few times with my steel gauntlet.
Sadly though, Fen was slightly miss-informed. It turns out that their power to withstand normal weapons
does not apply when they are in human form and he died almost instantly from the blows.
In a panic, the last thing I wanted to do was admit our mistake to my superiors so we quickly devised a plan
to smuggle the corpse out of the watch house and then say someone else had done it.
So. We poked our heads through the door and saw Aldrak Hogswaggle who we called to help. He seemed
delighted to help such 'heroes' as ourselves and found us a wheelchair and some blankets.
We shackled Vernon to the chair, covered him up and scooted out a side door, seen only by Aldrak who
even held the door open for us.
As Fenrir rattled off as quickly as he could with Vernon, I ducked in the main door and spying Jensile
busy with festival business called 'We've taken Vernon off, he knows where Esvele is being held and says he
will show us where!'
She waved me away distractedly. It looked like our plan had worked!
We dumped him back at the scow and decide to use him as a decoy in tomorrows plan to rescue Esvele.
DAY 11 (22nd Ches)
After meeting up again at the warehouse, Nes had been watching it in the morning and told us that he
expected someone to come out at some point for food.
Not long after eleven in the morning someone did, Nes followed him, and I followed Nes who engaged the
man in conversation and then used a 'Charm' spell successfully on him.
We got everything we needed to know about who was in the warehouse, and then told him to hand over all
his weapons and valuables for 'cleaning', then gave him a letter to take to the watch house!
The letter said he was a villain and kidnapper who should be safely locked up as he'd be very angry
when the spell wore off I should not doubt.
He was called Pete and inside the warehouse remained Gecko and Bulgur the Brawler, henchmen of Vernon,
and Hank and Pinky who apparently worked for Fred O'Furs.
The next step of the plan went smoothly too. Me and Raya waited in the shadows near the warehouse and
'operated' Vernon while Fenrir went and knocked on the door.
He span them a story about the watch being onto Vernon and that they had to move Esvele immediately. He
ordered her already drugged body put in the wheelchair and covered so that he could wheel her away.
This he accomplished with aplomb although there was an awkward moment for me when Fenrir took her to
the watch house and Raya simply melted away and I was left along holding the corpse.
Fenrir did come back though and we found an abandoned house to dump the much misused body of Vernon in.
While in there we also planned our next move against the four remaining men inside the warehouse.
