The heroes begin rested after their encounter with 12 goblins with a goblin
boss. They continue to the capitol, Emberhold. We entered the city, Scraw (of
course), asked immediately about the whorehouse and was told to go to Hole
Alley.
They went to the local cathedral and Bep talked to the father there with great flourish. He
restocked on his holy water; the father told him about some odd fires in the
northwest, some earthquakes in the mountains, and floods in the South.
He gave him some basic advice to go to the inn/guild halls, and also mentioned a library in the city. They went to the bardhall and Bardolemu talked to the elder Bard. They went to the Inn, got a beer, and talked to the Inn keeper.
They slept, then went to the Library in the morning. Aust copied some of the
esoteric scroll onto a piece of paper and gave it to the Librarian. Aust
talked to the master Librarian Michael and leveled with him about the adventurers' story so far.
Michael said that the scroll was written in DEMONIC!! He went on, usually these
scrolls are used to summon demonic demons, among other demonic things (spells,
souls, hearts, etc).
Le Duke Dechamp is a name that the priest gave. He has baubles of questionable
origin. His personal complex is midway between Library and castle. Gregory De
Chambre is another dude, DONT KNOW much about him but he's known to frequent
theatres.
The heroes went to the bard hall to ask about the local theatres. Bard person (guild leader)
talked about a comedy of heirs at the Globe by Shilliam Wakespeare. Tragedy
wise, at the Plateau theatre (location by the same name), there is a play
called "Don't Cry Over Spilled Guts". Bard man says Gregory De Chambre sounds
familiar. The gang goes to the theatre.
Bought tickets for 1g each. Greg's got a box seat. Aust tries to find him in
the box seat and does so by telling the guards "There's a fight. There's a
fight. Two drunk dudes are wailing on this chick. You should go help." One
guard leaves, Aust bribes the other dude with 1.5G to go up and look around the boxes.
They wait until intermission instead. Bardolemu goes up to the boxes disguised
as a guard. He starts knocking on boxes one-by-one, level-by-level. He finds
Greg by propositioning them with a song. Greg's a short, you even could say
stocky, man. Nice looking clothes, bowler hat, cane, monocle. Bardolemu sings
a song about the adventure so far. Bardolemu bones out of that box!
Then Scraw approaches Greg as he comes out of the show, chats him up a bit,
then brings up the matter of great import. Greg says to come visit him later...
