Third session of our campaign last night as we are still mucking about in the town of Hrueset; doing jobs for the Merchant's guild and such. Last night we had the idea to go to the Dragon and Fox tavern on the seedier side of town to look for work. We came across Ered the "trader". She was having problems with a highwayman (named the Rat) who was now operating in town. Implicitly, she wanted him dead but left that up to us. We tried the bait and switch with me acting the drunk fool and the dwarf fighter and human ranger tailing at a distance but he didn't bite, I actually spoke to him but I wasn't rich enough and oddly enough he "disappeared"; come to find out he has some item of teleportation. The next night we tried again, but we got interrupted by zombies in the temple graveyard which outed me as a wizard as I hadn't used magic openly in town. After that, I wound up getting cornered by the Rat and his goons. We had a chat, he was very polite and I lived. We returned to Ered to notify her of our failure and things got sticky. I haven't been in a tavern brawl in years. I blinded Ered with my light spell and then dropped a sleep spell but didn't catch her mage who knocked me out of the fight with a magic missile. I was down but not dead and Elmandor (the dwarf) and Kiint (the ranger) carried the day. To be fair, we gave her the chance to forget everything but she got all threatening so Elmandor pushed her face in with his warhammer. Naturally we got pulled in for a statement but we carry a lot of juice with the Guild so it was a formality.
Pure town adventure, lots of role playing, some of the best fun I've had in a long time.
