Summary: Sraverrah and Acorn come together to fulfill an assassins guild job. While they are working, they discover a hidden message about a cult of Fas.
Sraverrah's Telling:
Date: Second week of Jormah, Day of Forest.
Weather: Early Summer, a little warm.
At Doc's Mansion. Nine pm. A deku named Acorn comes to do the job with me. We are to follow a guy in a purple hood tomorrow around noon at the travelling bard's show. The deku gets an envelope.
At the Blue Conch. There is a hylian male behind the counter. I find Acorn and sit with him at his second drink. Eventually I follow him up to his room.
The Note, in Dekuan:
There is a man who has been a constant thorn in my side. His name is Gerdan. He is a Hylian male with very pale skin, and long dark hair. Black. He is Actually one of the councilmen for the town, and a man of considerable power. He has been a thorn in the side of the assassins guild for a very long time. We would like you newcomers to kill him without being seen.
Town Square. 11:30 pm - 1:00am. About a mile and a half up from where we're staying. We almost get caught by guards, but they leave us alone. We plan on trying to kill off the supposed guards on the roof tops first. if we succeed in taking them out, I will try to get Gerdan to a rendezvous point to take care of him then.
Day of Fire, A little colder.
Town Square again. 10 am. The bard is already there talking to townspeople. He is in his early thirties. We slip into a storage building to get to the roof. after a while, some figures emerge from the east. 4 men in purple hoods... great. they disperse into the crowd in pairs of two. I notice that a man in each pair fits the mark's description. We head down into the crowd. We notice that only one of the men smells nice, while two others smell of brimstone. We decide to tail the floral man, in hopes that he is the one. The bard delivers a secret message hidden in a poem; we are able to decipher it. After hearing the poem, the robed men disperse.
The message was such:
And so begins the 10 year tale,
As kingdoms fell and kings did, too,
Perchance a dream like ours will fail,
The land succumbs to rot anew.The Men of Earth do sweat and toil
Upon the dirt, within the narrow...
And fallen kings beneath the soil,
Betwixt the gaze of lofting sparrow.But harken ye, to better skies.
The darkest clouds eclipse the gaze!
And Requiem the moon to fives!
To congress deep within the haze...
We follow the group out into a back alley successfully. They stop there and are chatting quietly in abbysal. Acorn sneaks up and attacks, battle ensues.
loot:
4 potions: 2 red cure light wounds, 1 grey hide from undead, 1 orange mage armour
2 hourglasses
Gerdan's Signant ring
Gerdan's strange fish handled key
2 daggers
2 spell component pouches
2 travellers outfits, purple robes
10 red rupies
Acorn ruins the bodies, and we decide to ditch their outfits and sell the daggers and spell component pouches.
Doc's Home. 8:30pm. Geeves lets us in and leads us upstairs. We give him our information, and he suggests that we check it out. He knows what the poem is on about, they are a cult of Fos, and he smashess one of the hourglasses to show us the symbol under the glass. Geeves looks at our potions, and Doc takes us downstairs to an office, where he gives us potions to heal our wounds.
The Blue Conch. 10:30pm. for sustinance.
