Looking for a re-cap for Terrorshard!
We left off in the middle of the scuffle with the arms dealer. Ilya brilliantly covered up the melee by passing it off as a play and declaring that the giant sized rat was part of a dire animal circus. The grey coats bought the ruse. That allowed Dissa and Saewurg the time needed to wrangle the dealer and bring him back into the tent for questioning. He was hit with another Power Word Fatigue to make sure he couldn't run away.
Ilya asked who he was, who he was working for, and a slew of additional questions. Dissa assisted by summoning 5 little helpers to "badger" the guy until he came clean about who his contact was. Turns out it's an assistant archivist, although I can't remember his name, but Razilav took notes, so we're good. We let him go and he insisted on leaving town so that his boss' henchmen don't find him and kill him. He gave us the fireball gun and the ledger with all the makers marks in it.
While this interrogation session was happening, Razilav decided to pursue the acrobatic Gree who was scaling the walls and running across rooftops. Razilav eventually got the jump on him and ran ahead of him by anticipating his next move. The acrobat tried to Spiderman his way across a low building and Razilav used this opportunity to try and net him. He came close, but missed the attempt. He then tried to grapple him with his rocket arm, but that failed as well and the acrobat escaped. We met up with him and headed back to headquarters after relaying our stories to each other.
Once back at headquarters, we met with the Tinker Gnome to see if he could create anything to help us investigate small spaces. He came up with a pair of collars of Prying Eyes that allows us to wear one and put one on a rat to see what it sees. We got Sophia and headed back to the hidden area under the archive that she uses for retrieving items with her rats.
Razilav agreed to wear the collar and Sophia put the other on her smartest rat. Dissa cast Owl's Wisdom on it to help it navigate the catacombs. Once inside, we were able to see an elaborate maze of ancient corridors and spiral staircases. The rat eventually ran into a room filled with old crates; some of which were dated back a thousand years. The rat noticed some Orcs and a Dwarf hauling the crates up one of the staircases, but has not pursued at this point. That's pretty much where we left off. We've got several hours left on the collar's spell duration, so we have time to regroup and form a plan.
