Session #52: Visiting the Trannyths

Traver left about an hour before the end of this session; didn't seem like we got much done but them's the breaks.

The party began the night by figuring out what they wanted to do - which was more difficult than it sounded. Admittedly all they really had to go on was that the Fangs of Zehir had been contracted to kill them, and that House Trannyth, a Falconian noble house, were the ones putting the contract on them. They headed to talk to the Trannyths, but were accosted by more assassins, led by another member of the Gravelstoke family. They defeated these assassins rather handily.

After the assassins had been dealt with, the party realized that they didn't really have a plan of action. They did some research about the family, learning of their recent past - they had been disgraced for conspiring with Albacoran pirates, and they had recently been reinstated as a noble house by Archduke Graeme; rumor had it that this reinstatement had been secured through the family's use of the dark arts. They also spoke with Iankul Glimmergaunt, House Kesselia's retainer, and learned something about each member of the family: Baron Tramorn Trannyth, head of the house, is rumored to be a great swordsman and very much of a recluse; the Baroness Une, as they had already heard, is rumored to be a witch, even among the nobles; Dame Krista is a flirtacious woman who has many suitors but has refused all of them; and Sir Dorian is the most public, relatively speaking, member of the house, handling most of its business and being the one who primarily leaves the house. The family is a reclusive lot, and only leave their estate for very important matters - even Sir Dorian only leaves every few weeks.

They eventually decided that they needed to go directly to the Trannyths, and to that end they attempted to break into the estate by enchanting one of the guards - they discovered that the guards were themselves enchanted, and when Amnon's enchantment failed, the guards attacked. The party took some licks, but managed to knock all of the guards unconscious. Once inside, they noticed that a number of guard patrols were moving along the grounds. We stopped here.
