Kirth - Night

4 Mirtul, 1373 Night
Finally our plans are set. We arm the willing and able, the message is sent to the Thirsty Nymph, our allies are ready and we gather at St Sollars and have an evening meal. There’s a knock at the door and a visitor. We are asked if we are arming people. The person seems nervous, so we greet him. He recoils from our acts of kindness. He gets flustered over some scrutiny. We grow suspicious and I use my gift to see his intent, evil. Corim and Slyl move to block his retreat and Evan and I stand ready to fight. I hit him with the flat of my sword and Slyl grabs his weapon. Pavel hits him with a mighty fist and he gives up. We decide to detain him until morning while he gives us a full confession. He is an informant and it appears that our efforts are getting noticed.

The night is coming and we need to go to the location of this special meeting. We find our positions and move into the wooded park outside of Kirth Keep. We find Brathimus Drell -The Haldoreeve of Kurth and his soldiers. He hears us and asks to talk. He accuses me of treasury and tries to arrest me. Pavel tries to stand up for me. As I stand there being held by the soldiers, I realize all to late that I trusted the wrong man. Brathimus rams a blade into me deep. I stumble back and use my gifts to heal my wound. Haelimbrar charges in and attacks the soldiers and everyone starts to battle. Kelestri’s sword glows green and Pavel and Evan wade into the group. Kelestri strikes down her foes and Haelimbrar does as well. I loose track of the events. Brathimus and his soldiers are dead. What a shock to see. I grab up Brathimus’ items and give the rings he has to Leaf. Leaf puts both on and decides to try one out and accidentally sends a fireball into Kirth keep. I go and find out if anyone is hurt. Azedo Tangleroot a Sentinel halfling of too many words. Pulls me down from my perch. I fall hard and decide not to climb anything else tonight.

We move to the street where the secrete meeting is supposed to be. Leaf has a moment of pure inspiration! He decides to pretend to be Brathimus, a courageous and dangerous plan. All of us hide, some in trees most on the ground. The Holy High Imperceptor, Szchulan Darkoon shows with Hell Hounds and a demon in tow! Leaf talks to Szchulan and I hope he found out many things. I must buy him a drink tomorrow. Leaf is a man of many talents if he had some focus he would have the world at his feet.

Szchulan has found us out and ends the conversation. He sends the Hell Hounds and the demon to take care of us. Haelimbrar charges and attacks Szchulan, but he vanishes. The demon mauls Kyliel Crystalheart and she drops. We attack the hounds, and in the bravest act I have ever witnessed him do, Evan charges the demon with his mace. The battle rages on. Leaf calls the hounds. They respond! Somehow he has managed to get these Hell Hounds to listen to his commands. Now they sit in front of him. We turn our attention to the demon and move in. Evan has the glow of Selune surrounding him as he rushes into combat with the demon. His mace strikes true. Haelimbrar, and I rush in to take the demon on too. The beast strikes at me as Haelimbrar cuts it deep. The demon is no match for the forces of good. I tell Evan that “it is a deep honor to be bathed in the light of Selune”, thank you friend.

Leaf tells the Hell Hounds to “go home” and they do. Kelestri has lost her mind she is aiming her bow at Leaf and threatening to kill him. Pavel stands between them, as does Evan. I ask what are you doing?! Leaf's acting is so convincing that Kelestri actually questions his allegiance. I ask Leaf to hand me the ring that hides his natural aura. After looking carefully and seeing no hint of evil I declare he is not compromised. Clearer heads prevail and Kelestri realizes that Leaf is not compromised. She has the worst gut instincts. I can't believe I ever trusted her. She is a lunatic! Is she so confused that she can’t see strait? Leaf was helping us out of a bad situation. I don’t even need to have the ability to see evil to know he is not our enemy. All things considered we are doing well this night, so far. May Tyr continue to strengthen this fellowship so we can prevail.
