The session begins.

The normal auction starts, with a large tapestry of the City of Draconia, followed by lots of beautiful art, trips, everything you expect to see at a high class non profit auction.  Riffin is running the auctioneering, with a lot of gusto, they have At end of the auction, an older woman comes up to Me and Entropy, and asks if they are ready for the after party.  Reluctantly Entropy and Me follow her into the adjoining room, where the dignitaries are meeting up.

At the entrance are four guards 2 on each side of the heavy wooden door.  As we arrive, the kindly old round grandmotherly woman, walking around normally (who did not appear to be part of the Barre household), pulls out old iron key and unlocks the door.  Entropy and Me walk in, noting a few others are already seated and talking in the room. The room is a separate entertainment / bar room, with a center seating set of couches aimed out, and booths and seats around the outside of the room with an actual bar serving drinks to one side.

At the bar, is a tall young redhead at the bar, flowing green skirt, white blouse, pouring a drink for the jeffrey epstein, while at the other end of the bar, is a huge beer stein crafted from a conch shell, being drunk by the Tortle pirate?, with tubes out of his back like an exhaust port, with a small amount of black smoke leaking out of them.

Shantov is sitting at the circular chair.  He comes to talk to Me and Entropy, and he is just a little shit like usual.

Next, the Cockroach man comes in, glides in to the room, glides to a corner, stares out at the room.  Entropy and Me talk about maybe trying to draw the bad people in the message book to get messages out to world and have a recording about who we saw here. With that Me draws Shantov and the pirate without an issue, and when Me tries to draw the bugman he catches her eye. Me's gazes locked to him, his eye starts drooping, flies off and winks at her.  Me is unable to draw him at all, she just physically can't, so instead she attempts to draw a bug. Success!

Next, the door opens, and the old woman comes in, brings in Widona Gamewise, Mimay's Mother.  She looks around the room, shudders at the bugman, Gustov Jeffrey Joseph, squints at the captain, and turns white as a ghost when she sees Me and Entropy.  She approaches, says she wishes her daughter had better friends.  Me and Entropy talk with her, and WIdona admits she has a debt, and she cannot or will not name the individual.  She admits it is from a deal struck in the fay, hard to break those deals, she has the favor of a wild Fay, the master of his own Domain.  Should fetch a lovely amount.  She has been sent to collect, and needs to come back with, servants for the Lord.  Me asks if the Lord treats the children well, and it appears that at the least this mysterious Faylord wants the children alive, which is an improvement over some of the party here.

The Next person escorted in is wearing Burlap sack colored robes on a Gray Genasi, with a walking cane / staff, circlet around his head, coughing.  He walks in and slowly goes to the bar and sits next to Tortle.  Me takes a few minutes and draws him, making a connection, this is Onyx Arkenite's adoptive father, and Ashes brother.  This surprise hits Me as she is drawing Onyx, and her drawing lacks details but she takes notes as well, about Onyx and the Circular rings fall down like bangles down his arm.  Me and Entropy wander over towards Onyx, and upset about the horrible people all around them, they want to hit Onyx so they go talking shit on Hastor, and Onyx turns looks at Entropy and says, How is Thordak?

Onyx continues saying he is here for Him, he can do better and that Arkenite's brightness wanes a little.  he wanted to be in the room with Entropy.  Positioned himself in the room, wants to put an end to all this, whatever that means.  Onyx claims that Ankiel has charmed her way into the good graces of the foul hearted, the church of the worthy.  He has spent years positioning his brother, the unknown one, into a place that finally may mean he might not win. Entropy asks where the unknown one is, Onyx says he is willing to tell us if we do a favor, that he will tell us first.  Pulls off two rings off of his fingers, interlocked rings, wraps in cloth and holds them out to us.  As part of the deal, Onyx wants us to tell Arkenite he loves him and misses him.  He further states that the rings are one of the last pieces Arkenite needs to free his father.  Me takes the rings, and demands an answer to the question on the Unknown One.

Onyx says that the unknown one battles his way to the top.  They have always had difficulty unmasking him until the 5 are down to one left, and he comes for them.  Onyx made a deal with the unknown one, an easier path, he could come back after the rest were gone, nd the Unknown one took the deal.  Smiling Onyx says that the Unknown one ran into an unforeseen complication very far from here.  He further talks of plane of fire, pandemonium, etc., finally mentioning other prime material planes, before stating that he is in the backend of Faurrune, and that Leharn never learned.  LEHARN??

Not knowing what Leharn meant, Entropy asks Onyx who Thordak is.  He says Thordak was a means to an end, a poor soul who maybe took in too much power.  He mentions that earlier ENtropy had rocks in his head, and that this occurred when a malady overtook Thordak, and that impacted Entropy somehow.

Final two people walk in.  The first is an average looking man dressed in decent clothes, slightly rumpled, sunken dark eyes, walks in nervously, bites at fingers, one bloody, and he looks around unsure and slinks off into a corner.  Walking in just on front of Lisim is Gold plated individual, gold mask, gold chest, this is Aaron, walks in with Lisim, scans the room.  Aaron turns and walks to the bar, sits down clearing knowing the Tortle, and asks the captain if its working well.  "The shipping lanes have been mined for some time" is the response from the Tortle.

Now that everyone has arrived, Riffin leads, Widona, Gustov, Onxy, etc all move on down the stairs.  Spiral stairs lead down, well lit anti-chamber, two doors on either side.  At the bottom Lisim wants to lead Entropy off to a special counting room, with Me being very reluctant to let Entropy out of her sight down here. Lisim reassures? her and says this is what Dispater wanted.

Me follows the group around the basement by a room with Pedastals and trophy cases, horn, ring, a sword encrusted with gems, suit of armor, this is the treasure room of Lisim Barre. She is then led into a room with a crystal ball at the center of the stage and an auction stage to the left of that.  Me sits near the back of the room.  T plays the guy sitting next to Me, talks about not taking kindly to having his picture made.  "Von", really a lovely man... the one who chews on his fingers.

Lisim says he set this up for whoever his benefactor sent to collect the spoils.  Hanging from a set of chains, in another room is "Little", she is screaming as loud as she can.  Lisim opens a door down the hallway, with a golden scale down the hallway, scale is golden and magical.  Entropy takes a gamble that the scales can work and casts mage hand inside bag, try to put a little more emphasis and weight on the bag as it weighs on the scale.  Soul coins weigh 1/3 of a pound.  Entropy uses the mage hand pushes down a third weighs in as 40 soul Coins.  Basement area is a giant loop.  After the trade room, and the horror of seeing Little they end up in the room with everyone else, sitting next to Me.  Me has Spent the time and mapped the entire house so far, she has a special ability to do this.

With that, the bidding begins, and the session ended.
