SESSION 2 (published 01/24/2013)

The heroes were given a search and destroy mission by Rikkard the Fair. While out in the Vaasan wilds searching for their quarry the party is ambushed by the very band of humanoids they were hunting. The heroes slay the goblins, bugbears, and the wooley rhino riding ogre leader. After looting the corpses and collecting their ears the heroes head back to the Vaasan gate to collect their bounty. After collecting their bounty the heroes explore the "city" that exists inside the Vaasan wall. The news at the Vaasan gate is that a mysterious elven woman has hired the three top bounty earners (the Tuigan, Aioka, and Chalcedon) to accompany her on an expedition into Vaasa. Callista finds a dice game with several mercenaries inluding the infamous Tuigan and Chalcedon the ruthless duergar warrior. As players are eliminated from the game Callista, the Tuigan, and Chalcedon are the last three to remain. The Tuigan is next to fall and angrily storms off. Chalcedon sweetens the pot with a valuable gem and Callista accepts after Cassim verifies its value. The final throw of the dice sees Chalcedon as the winner who obnoxiously gloats over his win. Callista takes exception and stands to fight, but the duergar is faster. Upending the table, Chalcedon unsuccessfully attempts to bullrush Callista. The scrum turns into brutal fisticuffs, but the guards seperate the combatants before things escalate any further. Chalcedon vows revenge before collecting his winnings and leaving. Meanwhile Aunrae asks Calipheros why a priestess of Kiaransalee would be interested in stopping them. Calipheros does not know but says that the secrets beneath Reaver Hall must be something that Kiaransalee wants to remain hidden. Aunrae then uses her incredible powers of pursuasion and considerable charisma to make friends of a great many bar patrons and questions them about the presence of any other drow in the area. Aunrae is the only drow that any of them have encountered, but Aunrae notices a stone-faced Aioka watching her intently. Calipheros suggests that they all turn in as he plans to begin their quest into Vaasa the next day. The heroes agree that they will need to be well rested before beginning their quest and they all turn in for the night.
