RECAP
The group sat undecided on what to do next. With the President deciding against the Alumignome deal and the port jammed up with traffic, we all considered going back home.
As we walked back to our hotel room with the Mayor, we passed the Nipeete restaurant under construction (The Full Monty) and heard a whisper from inside. Turns out it was a former associate of the Mayor's from the Plateau who works for law enforcement. He was previously in charge of the President's security detail, but was suddenly replaced by outsiders.
This new contact (can’t remember his name) called us in to chat about the incident in the lower portion of the city. He confirmed our suspicion that the President of Crazyrock is under the control of another due to powerful magic and that something more sinister is afoot.
We decided to investigate the underground work area, so our contact took us down an elevator. Oratio stayed behind because he was too big to fit. Once there, we found the accident site and, after searching vigorously, discovered the area and two of the workers were enchanted with illusion magic. These workers appeared as normal Gnomes in overalls loading waste materials into crates.
Once Frederick tipped everyone off about the ruse, Shirtless Wonder decided the best course of action was to fly into a rage, bust into nonsensical song, then attack the nearest opponent with a hand axe. Needless to say we spent the next several rounds engaged in combat. Once engaged, we noticed that one of the Gnomes dropped a bag that released a smokescreen. We all attacked and Mugrin used a magic item to blow the smoke away. Once visible, one of the Gnomes ran away at lightning speed on all fours. It was about that time when Kai pursued the escapee and tripped him up. Rage boy knocked him out with his Axiomatic battle axe and we subdued him. The other escaped.
Once unconscious, the fat, untalented, STD riddled Dwarf saw through the illusion to reveal a Gree. He stripped him of his items and tied him up. We took the Gree back to the surface and met with the mayor.
Prior to all this unfolding, we were told by our contact that there's a room in Crazyrock used to house historical technology no longer used on the island. This room interferes with magic and disrupts it. We decided it would be best to have the mayor plan a meeting with the President to discuss a new business arrangement while on a tour of the museum room. Once isolated, we were hoping to disenchant the President and get the truth from him. If lucky, we were hoping to get some of the President's new security team isolated as well so we could disable them.
By the end of the session, the Mayor had successfully arranged the meeting/tour and we extracted information from our prisoner. He told us that a powerful caster was responsible for all the illusion magic and had commissioned the Grean Navy to take materials from Crazyrock. He believes it to be the Governor of the Republic who is of Iottian descent. He also revealed that there is a fully armed Grean vessel in the port cloaked as a transport ship.
Armed with this new info, we're faced with deciding our next move. The meeting with the Mayor and President is scheduled for two days from now, so do we wait or do we attempt to board the Grean vessel, do we alert Crazyrock security, or do we come up with something else? That's where we left off.
Zunder:
The name of the Gnome who helped is Ryder Wayne.
Note - the Whisper came from the "Imperial Spice" restaurant which was under Contruction. The 'Full Monty' is Crazy Rocks most popular, and on a play of words, is hard to get a table at, so it's full, as are the customers.
Good Recap! 50xp
