In the aftermath of the attack everyone except Chasker was questioned by a constable that the town brought in. Elliott, being a victim, and having a witness to his attempts to stop the murderous rampage of Sss'sss, was given medical aid and allowed to stay in a guest room in the Lodge. The rest of the companions (Breach, Rilain, Jade, Horatio, and Kess) were put under house arrest in a non-used house near the poorer section of the town. The inspector, Inspector Hopfoot, questioned everyone involved. The truth was given and everyone except Kess was allowed to leave. For her part in the attack she was arrested. She will likely end up as a ward of a temple somewhere where she can be watched and her barbaric tendencies can be watch and hopefully controlled.
Inspector Hopfoot basically told us to leave the town immediately. That's when Chasker rejoined the group. Inspector Hopfoot said he had arranged for a guide to take us somewhere safe. Outside the town we met up with an Emerald Brigadier named Lance who rides a Hippogriff. Captain Lance took us to "the Bardic College, The Trueheart Academy" (which we decided is basically the equivalent of "Penn State, Delaware County Campus"). Once at the BCTA, we were met by a female Silversword, who was also a Professor of the Academy. We kind of danced around why we were there until Breach had enough and he mentioned the Cabal of Democrats (no longer called a Legion as it was decided that the word "Legion" may inadvertently give the democrats too much gravitas). We were taken to see another Professor at the Academy, this one of History. When we reached his office we again told him about our suspicions about the link between the Celestial Bureaucracy and the Cabal of Democrats. When we finished he said "thanks for the info. I really hate to do this to you lady Silversword, but sorry-not-sorry" and he and the podium he was standing on faded to a black mist. The door to the office was locked but we were able to pick the lock and open it. There was no longer the rest of the Academy on the other side of the door. Instead there was a long hallway. Captain Lance stepped out the door and a new symbol, unlike any of the others we had encountered appeared on the wall.
Elliott attempted to pull some tapestries off of the wall of the office. His plan was to cut them into thin strips or unravel then threading and use it to navigate what he fears to be amaze on the other side of the office door. As he tried to pull the first one down, the tapestry came alive and ate him. It was a mimic. All 4 of the tapestries in the room were mimics. Elliot almost died (again), but the others managed to kill or drive off the rest of the mimics.
That's where we left off.
