• Michael's date is attacked by BANDITS!!!1!!
  • He pwns them easily, but they try to kidnap Annette
  • He Intimidates, they declare they aren't getting paid enough for this, and run off
  • He brings her home and she's 100% In Love Forever (Omg)
• The group transfers Zahn to an inn suite. Nula and Michael are first watch, Vin stays as well
  • He wakes up halfway through, has some drinks, listens to Nula's flute, goes back to bed
  • Vin tries to stay up all night like the grown ups but fails
• Ezel gets a call while studying confirming the meeting
  • He will bring Struuquin
• In AM, Struu and Aezma head out to sub in for Nula and Michael
  • Aezma brings cards and they have a good social time
• Ellowyn seeks a scroll of discern location (?) or whatever
  • Humorous scroll-selling-to-a-blind-man dismay
• Oraine and Sil swap in to guard Zahn, Struu and Ezel head to temple
  • Temple is creepy as fuck, with dudes staring and stuff
  • The man they meet is totally the nicest guy ever... and Struu is his best friend forever
  • He offer to trade like for like after not getting anywhere
  • Resolution: we'll have a video call via orb in 1 hour and then exchange in a room at the Grey Thrush in 4 hours
  • Ezel and Struu leave, Ezel dispels the charm, Struu runs off to sell his house
• Regroup, confer with Tamara Group, who are hesitantly for it
  • The Call: the dude is in some cavern with blood splattered everywhere, holding the copper orb
  • Head over and explain to Sil and Oraine and the gang
  • Plan: Sil, Aezma, and Vin will hide on the roof as backup; Ezel, Ellowyn, Michael, Querca, and Struuquin will meet him (with rings of prot evil)
• What actually happens:
  • He meets them, the orb is showed, and he jumps them
  • Drops a crazy weakening effect that paralyzes most of the group and grabs the orb
  • Vin dimdoors Aezma and Sil in, Sil tries to jump him
  • He notices there are other orbs in the room and tries to grab Sil's stuff and TP her- she squeaks away
  • Struu tries to grab the orb, Vin also tries- Vin grabs the copper
  • Michael summons Sventukothar
  • Ellowyn dimdoors away, tells Vin to do the same; he grabs Sil and does so (roof)
  • He tries to plane shift away, Ezel counterspells (!!!!!)
  • He drops a crazy firestorm
  • Sventukothar and Aezma attack like crazy, Ezel grabs Querca and Michael and TPs away- but leaves Aezma because she can take care of her self
  • Aezma smites some more, he grabs her, and they both disappear
  • Struu makes a totally wicked smooth exit, Michael dismisses Sven, and all regroup at the inn
• "Where's Aezma? Oh shit, that was Pazuzu."
• Marcus and co. want to go after her ASAP, but will need Church backup- so they really want those names
  • No way to trust Zahn
  • Zahn concedes that one of the three names is trivially verifiable...
  • How about you tell us that one, we verify, then if it checks out you give us the other two and get the hell out, and if we cross paths again we kill you
  • Sil: Hey!
  • Zahn: I want all my stuff back, plz.
  • All: Maybe.

WHEN CAN WE RUN AGAIN OMG
