## Adventurers Attending

* Sharian Naetris
* Karn Ironfist
* Renestrae 'Rain' Larenthanil

## Mission Notes

Karn and Rain went to visit The Prince to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict at the set location, Horatio was under the weather so couldn't make it like the original planned. Rain scouted the area surrounding the log cabin used for discussions to make sure it was safe, before trying to hide on the ethereal plane to keep an eye on Karn as he talked. Sharian believing that Karn may be able to come to a peaceful conclusion with the talks, decides to wait for a 30 minuets before coming to the meet up location, as to not cause the talks to go south. Inside the log cabin it is set up as hunting lodge with a large open firepit in the center of the room, a set of high backed arm chairs sit opposite a simple wooden chair. Sat in the chairs are the Overboss and a unknown member of the Firing Squad. Rain setting herself up in the corner of the room unseen as being on another plane of existence. The roaring flames of the fire flicker as a man calling himself the Prince walks through. Noticing Rain in the corner "You know you don't have to hide in the corner Rain you were invited here" inviting her to sit down. Karn offers port and liver sausage before undertaking the talks.

Sadly, but not unsurprisingly, the gunmen were adamant in their terms and negotiations and wouldn't budge an inch. The talks broke down into violence and deadly combat the Firing Squad and the two Guild members. the Prince had said it doesn't matter due to their contingency plan to take the Guild by force had already been enacted with the help of their benefactor. They were shocked to find Karn and Rain weren't as easy marks to take out as they had thought, the three of them had ganged up on the duo who valiantly fought the self proclaimed seekers of justice.

The Firing Squad enacted their contingency plan to take the guild by force, and sent an army of powerful constructed to destroy the Guildhouse. Returning just in time to coordinate the defenses, Sharian, Karn and Rain fended off the automations, including an enormous steel dragon, and a colossus metal warrior.

Discovering these constructs could only have been brought to life with the powerful magic of the upper planes, the group are left wondering who the Firing Squads benefactor is, and if they still have further machinations involving the guild.

(Morv Editing Note: need to flesh this out more as it was quite a significant event to the Guild and it's history)
