Feisty Felines, Mirror Madness and Purple Prevails

## Captain’s Creepy Cabins

* The trap door swung shut behind the party
* While Rocky got beveraged on a nice armchair, Blagden failed to unlock a chest and Belgaer found an unusual ornate mirror in the corner cupboard
* Leo identified it as a form of magical prison and learned the words to activate it
* Scribbulus and Lysandre found two letters, the first older:

Dear Purple,

A few things.

First, you will be pleased to hear that under the direction of E , I am continuing to grow the alliance. I have recently made an agreement with a mage-cult  based in the Empire. They already have an extensive network across Ostaria (though it seems this network has recently suffered a setback) and they can offer us access to territories hitherto unavailable to us. Their leader (code name D) is also sending two of his operatives (codenames W and V) to aid me with my research. How useful they will be remains to be seen.

Second, on the subject of research, Blue  has recently contacted me. His associated on Khaldaria believed he had found part of the artefact we are searching for. Unfortunately, this associated was killed before he could retrieve it. It seems likely that the killers (some archaeologists from Ilbidor of all people!) are now in possession of artefact. As such, I am tasking you with keeping a close eye on these archaeologists… they may well lead us to what we seek. Perhaps your associate on the 2nd can aid with this? I understand that he has fingers in a lot of pies!

Regards,

R

P.S. Keep an eye on Green will you. He’s missed his past three deliveries. I am beginning to question his commitment.

Dear Purple,

Good news! E has recently been contacted by an old (believed dead) acquaintance of his. For reasons I shall outline in due course, this acquaintance (code name N ) likely holds the key to our endeavours. However, in exchange for their aid, N first requires our help with a rather complex task. I have ordered V and W (who have proved to be surprisingly competent) to take point on this. They and I will be meeting with N soon to discuss the details.

It is possible that this task will cause me to be out of action from general duties for some time. In that event, E has declared that you shall assume operational command. So be ready.

Regards,

R

P.S. Green has gone MIA. Last seen in Echs. If you have any intel contact me immediately. If he is indeed gone his position will need to be filled to ensure upkeep of the quotas.

## Invisible Assailants

* Suddenly Scribbulus and Belgaer were scratched by invisible creatures
* Rocky couldn’t see anything through his alcohol haze but Lysanfre managed to sight movement and lit it up with a fireboat
* Leo pounded the bed with his hammer and Blagden got a satisfying wet thunk with a crossbow bolt
* Vicious slashes drew blood from Leo who used his movement to bait the positions of the invisible creatures, which Scribbulus joined in with
* Then both dropped mass heals that restored everyone to full health
* Through Rocky’s throwing of Rosie and Belgaer sassy heavenly rebuke, a tiger slumped to the deck battered and bloodied and the second escaped through the magical window into the waters beyond
* The dead cat was looted for its collar and rings
* Leo released the child Lucas from the
* The chest remained unbreakable so it was decided that it would be hauled out

## Suggester and Commander

* in the room above, the Purple captain waited
* She was extremely sassy and when Blagden sassed her in return she commanded him to drop all his valuables…which was a lot of random shit
* When Scribbulus tried to intervene, she Dominated him and had him and Rocky teleported away, everyone seemingly powerless to help
