The Unicorn's Vault

10th April 2023

An elegantly dressed Elven woman greets you in the back room of the Junction Inn, a polite smile gracing her face. She introduces herself as Isa and offers you tea.
After everyone is served, she casually dips a finger into her own cup and tastes a drop before taking a larger sip.

"How is that dear Fighter of yours? My sources tell me he took quite a beating from those pig-faced brutes? I was almost concerned for him."
She continues, "Once again I find myself in need of assistance, and I'm afraid to say you seem to be the only reliable outfit on the continent!"

## Adventurers Attending

## TL;DR

Our adventurers were hired by Isa to retrieve a scroll of great value from a Three-Headed Unicorn building in Otha's Rest. They devised a plan to infiltrate the building through The Shambles, stealthily making their way to the vault where the scroll was kept.

The party encountered a number of guards and traps on their way to the vault, but managed to overcome them through a combination of skill and brute force. Once they reached the vault, they found it heavily guarded by several elite members of the Three-Headed Unicorn, including Valentina Vidorant herself. The party engaged in a fierce battle with the guards, during which Valentina managed to escape with the scroll, using a magical device to teleport away.

Despite their failure to retrieve the scroll, the adventurers were able to learn more about the operations of the Three-Headed Unicorn and gain valuable experience in combat and infiltration. They left the building with their lives, but also with the knowledge that the Three-Headed Unicorn would be watching them closely in the future.

## Session Summary

In the bustling city of Otha's Rest, a group of skilled adventurers gathered in the dimly lit Junction Inn. Their eyes scanned the room, searching for their contact, Isa, an elven rogue who had promised them a daring and lucrative mission. As the flickering candlelight danced upon their faces, they spotted her, sitting in a secluded corner, her keen eyes observing their every move. Approaching their table, Isa greeted the group with a sly smile. She wasted no time, explaining the details of their mission. The enigmatic Three-Headed Unicorn, a notorious criminal syndicate, possessed a hidden vault, rumored to hold valuable treasures. Among them was a Scroll Case marked with the sigil of the Silver Feather Society, a secretive organization with its own motives. Their task was to infiltrate the heavily guarded building, retrieve the Scroll Case, and bring it back to Isa.

Isa handed them a map of the building, meticulously marked with key locations and potential obstacles. She also provided a detailed description of Valentina, the woman in charge, as she could be a vital asset for the mission. Yax, a shapeshifting trickster, could assume Valentina's identity if the need arose. Setting off towards the Shambles, a district known for its shady characters and hidden secrets, the group navigated through the narrow, winding streets until they found the unassuming property that housed the Three-Headed Unicorn's vault.

Observing the entrance, they noticed a pair of guards patrolling the balcony. Quick to devise a plan, Peace offered himself as a distraction. With a graceful swoop, he soared above the guards, capturing their attention while Yax and Grrder sneaked inside through the front door, disguising themselves as a homeless man selling an illegitimately-acquired construct. Their ruse was swiftly discovered by the vigilant guard at the entrance, and a clash of steel erupted. Yax swiftly dispatched the guard, ensuring no alarms would be raised. With caution and precision, the group made their way deeper into the complex, meticulously checking each room for traps and hidden spies.

One room proved to be particularly treacherous, housing a seemingly innocent large carpet. However, stepping upon it triggered a glyph, summoning an Invisible Stalker to attack. The group fought valiantly, leveraging their combat prowess to swiftly defeat the supernatural creature and avoid its deadly traps. Undeterred by the challenges they faced, the adventurers ascended to the upper floor of the building, their determination unwavering. They combed through room after room, seeking the hidden vault. Finally, their search led them to a seemingly ordinary cabinet. But behind its façade lay a false wall concealing the coveted Scroll Case.

Triumphantly claiming their prize, the group's victory was short-lived as Valentina confronted them before their escape. Battle erupted once more, each member of the group showcasing their unique abilities in a dance of steel and magic. As the tide of the battle seemed uncertain, Valentina seized the Scroll Case, her fingers tightly clutching her necklace. Uttering an incantation unknown to the adventurers, she vanished from their sight, leaving them stunned and empty-handed.

Despite their inability to secure the Scroll Case, the group emerged from the intense encounter battered but triumphant. Isa, true to her word, awaited them at the agreed-upon rendezvous point. Expressing her gratitude for their efforts, she commended their bravery and skill. The adventurers were rewarded handsomely for their time and bid farewell by Isa, who vanished into the shadows, her own motives and affiliations shrouded in mystery.
