Well Hey!
Around Ruby's Brunch/Lunch day we had a tour of the caves above the Temple, which where previously inhabited by large scary flying beast. Those caves where interesting, and basically what you would expect. You did get to see the underside of the temple while in there, and the quality work of Prince Firepeaks relatives. While sight seeing in the lair of the previous owner Dylan spotted a secret door in a wall. We hid that fact from Shun Quan and decided we'd come back that night and check it out. We where back at the temple grounds by Ruby's Tea-Time.
Back at the Temple
As we schemed and planned to go back, we got a invite to a party that night as a massive tropical storm moved in. The party was more of a mixer with lotsa drink and flirtation happening. That spanned Supper, Dinner and Second Elevensees. Not sure where Lachlan ended up honestly, but pretty sure he had his pick. Anyway, it was a fun time and no-one made an diplomatic ass of themselves.
The next dawn as Ruby was eating First Breakfast we couldn't find Lord Tadrin, Tess, Marina, and Three others NPCs from the Icefean delegation. None of them where in their rooms. We asked if anyone had seen them, poked around, asked Lin Bi Lee the Arcanically Fortunate. We checked their room for missing things. We got a guard dog and handler to help track them around Ruby's brunch, while we went back to their rooms to find something for it to scent track, they where there. All of them!? Dylan checks a mental list to watch Lin Bi Lee. (sus)
They don't remember anything besides getting a order of Saki delivered to the rooms last night, which had a Lotus Serum in it. This is a ecstasy type of drug used to mentally coerce people. It is also used recreationally here. (sus) We used the dog to track where they just where, which led us to the caves again. We opened the secret door and get in. In there we where attacked by a decapus ( 10 armed octopus ) and defeated it. However we where locked in. The only way out seemed a magical alcove. There was a magical programmed illusion in there we defeated easily. ( coughs ) However, Ruby and Godric where knocked out as we emerged from the spell. And I forget what we saw as the illusion faded.
