Session 8

While Kai went back in the church to sooth the deformed ladies, Valar and the others set up camp to rest. Due to having wake up all night, Kai felt tired and fall asleep on the couch of the church guest room. Seeing the boy sleeping so well, High mother Ursula didn't wake him as rule, but asked the child not to disturb him instead. Valar and Yuldra sat down together and have a zen to relax their mind. In Alistair's culture, there's no such thing quite like they did. Alistair thought they just have a weird sleep stance. He sat down and stretched his legs. A short time passed, Valar and Yuldra woke up from their zen to see Alistair has fallen asleep next to them but no sight of Kai. Well, lucky for them, the children playing around the church informed them that their partner had a couch saved for him in the guest room. So they went back into the city, not forgetting to leave a message for Kai.

On their way there, they saw many farmers came up to the city from far away. A joyful man told them of the festival to celebrate the King's birthday. And he was very excited to take part in. With the thought of that maybe there would be more to see and purchase when all these people come to join the festival, the trio went straight to the Grapes Vine Market, the largest market in the city. Yuldra resupply his potion at a local herbalism shop, while Valar stole a mysterious elixir after he deemed it not worthy to buy in full price since there's just a little bit left at the bottom of the big vial. Then they have a nice chat with the mystery man at the Jinjutsu shop. Their intention was to exploit the man's capability to work with metal and master of crafting to figure out what's all the clockwork components about. Despite not being able to reassemble the components into one unity, he told them of its identity, a clockwork golem. It high time Kai caught up with his team. So he did, along with the fresh recruit. They went to purchase more supply to aid in their raid of the brothel tonight and regroup at The Bitter Chestnut inn to review the plan one last time.

When night fell, the team spread out to enact their plan. Valar went in with the recruit disguise as a group of mercenary while Kai scouted around for guards, Alistair and Yuldra waited behind the building to help the ladies get out. Right as plan, Valar group blended in the place with no troubles. When the patrons started to got into their all room for the fun part, Valar showed the lady his true intention of rescuing them out. Unknown to him, a brothel security found his empty room while he sneaked around the storage to made their way out of there. The brothel security by then has been alarmed and rush to stop Valar's doing. To prevent having to fight multiple foes at once, he put a nearby room on fire for a diversion. Though his original idea was to put on some smoke fume with bucket and towels but the fire got out of control. Just like the fire, their plan soon got out of control as well. City guards started to swarm in, all their position was spotted and have to put up a fight to escape. Fortunately, they all got out with every last of the slave prostitutes, except for Valar. He was determined to stay behind, so that the brothel security did not turn their eyes on the ladies when he ran out of thing to slow them down. He was reckless, but not without calculation. After the last slave strip down the line they had set up, Valar lead the security to the other side of the brothel, and jump off the window to their complete surprise. Funny enough, Valar stumbled by the ledge of the window and landed on his face, and guard're surrounding him.
