The Session Joke

“The Rope Debate”: Pulgar (Juan) and the DM (Nemo) engaged in a technical, hilarious, and absurdly long discussion about the physics of a 50-foot rope. They debated whether gravity would make the rope fall, how it would drag across the mossy tiles making noise, whether Pulgar carried it on his shoulder like a firehose, or if it would snag on the rain gutters. The situation was so extensive that another player had to intervene to say: “The rope debate is key.”

Scene 1: The Dwarf Spider-Man

PCs present: Pulgar, Ceres, Hulio.
NPCs present:

Scene Summary:
After leaving dinner, the group decides not to make a big fuss by confronting Isaac’s guard. Ceres casts Enhance Ability on Pulgar to give him advantage in Strength. The dwarf stealthily climbs the damp and mossy facade of the mansion to the rooftop. Looking through the windows, Pulgar discovers a dusty room where Víctor is casting rhythmic magic surrounded by skeletal cats and child mannequins. In another window, which has been boarded up from the inside, Pulgar manages to pry open a gap and whispers with Irina. She begs him to get her out, revealing that Víctor plans to disembowel her. Pulgar also locates the attic guarded by a sleeping guard. Seeing that an improvised rescue is very risky, the dwarf decides to descend to plan something better with the group.

Scene 2: The Chase Through Balaqui

PCs present: Hulio, Ceres, Ladril Gabriel.
NPCs present:

Scene Summary:
While Pulgar watches for guard changes, the rest of the group heads to the inn. Hulio notices a figure observing them from a nearby rooftop. Once discovered, the individual descends via a downspout and flees. Ceres, Hulio, and Ladril Gabriel initiate a high-speed chase through the dark streets. Ceres attempts to cast Sacred Flame without much success, but eventually, Hulio manages to corner him in the shadows, brandishing his great axe. The man, terrified, drops his rapier and surrenders. He confesses his name is Ernst and that he works as an observer for Lady Fiora (Lady West), the Burgomaster’s rival noble. After a tense negotiation, Ceres suggests Ernst arrange an official meeting, to which the spy, who calls himself “Larnaca,” happily agrees before leaving.

Scene 3: Night of Drunks and Wolves

PCs present: Hulio (Ceres and Ladril Gabriel listen in the background).
NPCs present:

Scene Summary:
Upon arriving at the inn, which is nearly empty late at night, Hulio decides to sit with the only awake patrons: a couple of wolf hunters who are quite drunk. Despite initial wary glances, Hulio uses his hunting knowledge to gain their favor. Geni and Sjölder explain that hunting is abundant to the east but seriously warn him to avoid the northwest, as that is where large packs gather and, according to whispers, werewolves also exist. The hunters explain they work for the community in exchange for bed and board (free wine). After the chat, the group retires to rest.

Scene 4: The Altar Boy’s Secret

PCs present: Ceres, Hulio, Ladril Gabriel.
NPCs present:

Scene Summary:
The next morning (while Pulgar is still sleeping at the inn to recover from a sleepless night), the trio goes to the church to interrogate Milibob about the stolen holy bones. They meet in a small room where Ceres sits beside the boy and subtly casts magic that prevents him from lying. Although Ceres tries to relax him with small talk, the boy is very tense. Cornered by the magic and the pressure, Milibob breaks down and tearfully confesses that he let the secret slip. He told the exact location of the relics to his friend Yeska, the young orphan gravedigger who works at the church and sleeps in a shed in the cemetery. Father Lucian is surprised and disappointed, but the group calms the situation, assuring him that they only want to recover the bones without harming the boys. The group prepares to visit the cemetery.
