## Mission Notes

Our party travelled to Glimmergate to celebrate the 30th Birthday of their fellow guild member and friend Aloissius Bellum. On arrival at the Hoity Toity Tavern, they were met by a large humanoid swine guarding the entrance. Having to give their names in order to get in. Shown to a private booth in a busy bar, the party were served a multitude of brightly coloured, bubbling shots with various consequences/benefits of drinking. Skamos being Skamos… he downed more than enough for everyone.

The group began to wonder when Aloissius would arrive and asked after his whereabouts, resorting to bribing the maitre de for information. Creed leads most of the group upstairs to investigate a room they’ve discovered Aloissius has been staying in for the past few days. Lessbelle and Skamos being left in the booth get approached by a very disgruntled Beefington, accompanied by two more of the large Hog like security guards. He interrogates the young Lessbelle on why her name is carved into several pieces of furniture in his home. He demands she report to him tomorrow in Othas Rest. Upstairs, After getting no answer at the door, the lock is promptly picked and on entering the room they discover a lavish room in a state of untidiness that suggested a struggle had taken place.

Creed picks up Gloom Dueller and is overcome with a feeling of fear and has a blurred, hazy vision accompanied with the words, ‘Worst Birthday Ever’. Fearing for their friends life, they turn to leave but their way is blocked by Beefington and his PiggyGaurds. Beef looks nervous at the mention of Aloissius’ name and attempts to divert the guild members back to Otha's Rest by paying/bribing them to take a message. The party took Beefington’s money but after seeing the note was blank on the inside. Headed straight towards their employers address.

After defeating two of the well dressed and very large pig men (and insulting them profusely) they entered the house which was found to be mostly deserted. The team made their way through the kitchen and servants stairwell into the illegal casino below and found two men tied to chairs in an adjoining storeroom. One alive (Aloissius) and one dead (the guard who had been fooled into letting the guild in previously).

The team successfully rescued Aloissius, defeating four more of Beefington’s new piggygaurd service, (armed with great axes), several dogs and two suits of awakened armour blocking their escape. Bringing Aloissius somewhat back to health, he told them he’d been taken by Beefy bois men and beaten for stealing the glamour weave suit in his office.

## Rumours

* Will there be consequences to taking money from your employer then ignoring the task?
* Why does Beefington have a dedicated torture chamber in his basement?
* Who are these new swine security service?
