Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

We decided to find out where the Seven's Sawmill is located through working the streets, looking for rumors.
"We'll ask around."
"And I know where to start. You need to go to the tailors. You need new clothes, worthy of a Foxglove!" Nathaniel said.
Honeypot went looking for rumors herself and Velicia took off to go look for the Eladrins she met earlier. I, Nathaniel and Dorothea went to the Keystone district of Magnimar to look for a good tailor. Nathaniel looked around at their choice and used his sense of fashion to select the style and fabric. I didn't really care as long as it looked good and I could move in it. Dorothea made sure to choose a new set of clothes and Nathaniel ordered a dress for Shayliss Vinder too. We ordered the clothes and while they took our measures we talked to the tailors and seamstresses. I asked innocently if they had heard any news lately as I had been out of the city for a while. They told me of murders of bankers, rich merchants and "people that matters". After some follow up I got some names and could ask some questions about them to see if they were greedy. They had Greed!

When all finished we continued on to Pug's Contraptions in the same district. They had a lot of different cages, traps and locks. A man approached us.
"How can I help?"
"This young lady have recently acquired a house and in it's inventory there were some cages of remarkable craftsmanship. We would like get to know more about them." Nathaniel answered. Pug took out a big book and opened it on the counter. Browsing through it he stopped at an entry some four weeks ago and told us he had sold 10 cages to Aldern Foxglove. He had requested a quick delivery 4 weeks ago to the Foxglove townhouse in the Grand Arch district. I thanked him for his helpfulness. Nathaniel bought music boxes for his sisters.

We had agreed to meet for lunch at a tavern we passed earlier and having finished our plans we went there early. I ordered a big lunch. You never know. I took a couple of apples for later too. Soon Velicia showed up. She told us stories of Brothers of the Seven. They are an old organization of rich bankers that got a lot of power. "Gnomes of Zürich" Soon Honeypot too showed up and told us that they had rumors of living forever. There were stories of the undead and of proposals to rich people to join then and all that agree disappeared. Some mystic consortium. She had also heard that the Seven's Sawmill were located upriver. We decide to hire boat instead of riding up the road. Velicia disguised herself to look like a human flower saleswoman.

The captain talk lot rowed by sailor.

pass seven's sawmill put in at next sawmill's jetty

We met by guard that want us off

I trick him that I want to buy planks and mention name

He hesitates long enough for the boat to leave before saying we can't buy.

We walk back along road. It's been improved lately. Through swampy area. Bigger road, next road to seven's sawmill. That road better and older. We sneak

The sawmill is bigger and older, but have been rebuilt and added to

We look for hiding place and Honeypot notice lots of footprints in wood and marks on trees

I recognized style of gang of thieves training

We survey place notice flamboyant clothing on workers. Not ghouls.

Group leave sawmill. I sneak. I Follow. I listen "Looking for a group of five with one satyr and one eladrin. That should be easy enough to recognize." "We have lost the spirit lately. Attacking richer people than Norgober told us earlier. I think the man is getting old. Should do something about it." "That's dangerous talk." "But he is straying from the true path." I stop and return to others. Tell them

Velicia said Norgober was old diety killing on Nerull's behalf to prevent things from happening in the world. Honey tell story about skinsaw man that appear as boogeyman and kill.

Long rest further away to wait for dusk.

Rituals. Telepathy, Dark light and transform into sea otters.

Dangerous and hard to swim is extremely easily as sea otter.

Turn back and climb up. After a while there is a problem, but we solve. All reach roof. No one in little tower.

I climb and secure grappling hook all gather and open trapdoor

Small room with ladder, desk and lots of faces cut off people. Is evil temple

We all climbed down into the small room and prepared for a fight. Stealthily I opened the double doors ever so slightly and looked through slit.

I froze in place as I saw a man I haven't seen in several months and hoped to never meet again. It was Ironbriar who talked to several gathered cultists. I wanted to kill him but I couldn't bring myself to act at all. We all listened while he talked about preparing for a big final. They planed to kill the mayor. His words gave me the chills. I broke out of it and threw my dagger at him but I missed.

Velicia teleported out looking like monster to Ironbriar and said "The skinsaw man have come for you!"

Nathaniel went out and draw a lot to himself and down several

Doro ran out and engaged lots of cultists.

Honeypot jumped over EHP and attacked Ironbriar.

Nell ran up to Ironbriar and attacked up close but her memories made her hesitate and made her miss again.

He teleported away and did stuff.

Nathaniel strike all around.

Doro teleported and lots downed by effect

Honey confused a magician and I used the opportunity to kill him. Hid in the temple.

Ironbriar: "I lost the rest of the family but I will..." run up to me and try to do something and teleported up on roof.

Nathaniel kill both bodyguards around him and ran up the ladder and hanging on the ladder stabbing uppward with my fathers longsword force Ironbriar from the trapdoor and is able to follow him up.

Honeypot ran up after.

I hid and threw again scared and miss.

Nathaniel trick him to stand above trapdoor with impressive footwork.

Doro cast her terrible magic black cloud that eats everything on many, many cultists

Honey distracted and confused Ironbriar so I could finally stab him. 49 hitpoints!
