Can someone post a recap of what happened for Ajax.
After extracting the victims from the rubble and tending to their wounds, the "mayor" and a mass of angry villagers confronted us and demanded to know our intentions. They were not very receptive to our style of diplomacy (blunt honesty). We were asked not to leave town until the local leadership could convene and sort this out. We complied, mostly because they were justified in blaming us for the improvised demolition.
We spent the night interrogating the pixie we captured. Haas exhibited tremendous restraint in his tolerance of the pixie's hostility, until the part were it spit on him - after which Haas helped it go to sleep for a few hours. In the morning, Saladien took over the interrogation (under close scrutiny), and through persistence learned that the pixies were sent by Scalehome to this town to maintain its state of perpetual blissful ignorance using their fey trickery (memory loss arrows) on all 50,000 residents. They have been doing so in this town and to 3 of the 4 neighboring villages for 9 months, and had only 3 months remaining before they were finished their deployment; this pixie had no knowledge of what was going to happen then. In return for its cooperation, we promised to get it back home to the Beastlands using Ajax's Gate ability, and figured we could thin out the fey infestation by offering Ajax's interplanar Uber services to any fey in the area that want to go home.
After the interrogation, we were summoned to the judge's hall to address the destruction of the house. A cleric of Celetal, Sernene, listened to our story and concluded that we believed what we were saying, but was incredulous about the fey infestation. She also referred to Balinhost as a foreign land, which raised our suspicion that she was a victim of the fey's memory loss. After paying a nominal fine (which Valizar will repay to Haas in hit points), Haas and Sernene spoke privately. Haas convinced her to accept a Heal spell to purge her memory loss, which was successful. The memories that returned to her were mostly dealt with external happenings (trade, Balinhost, Scalehome). We escorted her through town, where we confirmed the extent of the problem with people passing by.
We spotted the person who we thought was the mayor, but with Sernene 's restored memory, she indicated that the mayor was in fact an entirely different person. We confronted the imposter, who tried to flee ethereally. Thanks to Ash's keen senses, Grant's ability to punch people into paralysis through the planes, and Haas blessings, the imposter was subdued and restrained.
Before things got even uglier, we grabbed our 2 prisoners and took everyone, including Sernene and the local grovetender, back to Balinhost to regroup.
