Season Recap:
The Heist
The group worked with Ayva to arrange a job with a foreign
antiquities collector. We went to an auction house to bid on some
mundane items in order to get a feel for our competitors. It also
served as an interview for our potential employer. Her name is Nepheret
and she was looking for a special mask.
We attracted the attention of rival relic hunters by first bidding
at the auction house, then by scouting out an antiquities museum owned a
wealthy Elven family. There was a replica of the mask there, but not
the real thing. The group eventually narrowed the location of the mask
to a house that belonged to the same wealthy Elven family who has a
glass steel empire. Natsu decided to pay a visit to the Elves' glass
steel workshop and place an order. This ruse served to allow us time to
scout the campus and prepare for our heist. The group infiltrated the
home one night with flight potions and stealth. They found the mask and
identified it as the real deal. Permanent True Seeing made of pure gold
and of near artifact quality. It's worth was about 200,000 gold. The
group had originally negotiated to receive 20,000 gold, but was able to
ultimately able to pull in 50,000 for the deal. They escaped the house
with the mask and fled.
The Ambush
We were marked by a rival guild, The Neverdead, from outside Port
Talp. One of their guild members, a Halfling, followed and assaulted us
one night. We defeated him and Istivan drug him to an isolated area to
question him. He gave up some of his members and some of their plans.
They were after the mask and a few other things. We suspect they were
following all our movements since there was a break in at the museum a
few nights later. Nothing was reported stolen.
Eventually, the group set a meeting with Nepheret at the same
location where the Halfling was questioned. They determined there was
at least one trap set up and, sure enough, we were ambushed by
Neverdead members. The group was invisible when the fight broke out, so
they managed to survive the initial blast. Eventually, after using
summoned creatures and clever spells, the Neverdead members fled the
battlefield. We gathered our money and made our way back to the guild
house.
