## Enemies and Allies

 **Location** | Monastery of Golden Sun

As the forces spread into the monastery, the party charges up to fight them. Charging up alongside the party is one of the monastery's lieutenants, a woman named Camilla, who fights alongside the party. Together they manage to fend off the attackers, but not before several monks are hurt and the monastery is damaged yet again. Tariq Akhallah is furious, knowing that this could only happen under the watch of the **Red Brook Mercenaries** if they allowed it.

Tariq storms off down the hill to confront them. The party goes with him to make sure he doesn't do anything rash. Master Kor tells Camilla to go along as well and be the monastery's eyes and ears on what happens. She agrees and follows them down. The group reaches the bottom of the hill just as a contingent of the **Red Brook Mercenaries** emerges from the city, far too late to help with the attack.

## New and Familiar Faces

The contingent is lead by a Brass Dragonborn named Captain Galavix. He claims that they were on their way to defend the monastery, but Tariq calls him out, claiming they let the gnolls reach the monastery and charging up the hill now is just for show. Galavix claims that he had always intended to help in the battle and he was sorry he missed it. He summons one of his soldiers to provide a complaint form, saying that Tariq can fill out and submit a complaint if he likes.

The soldier that brings up the form is familiar to Dhamon. He recognizes him as Tembrial, one of the Moon Elves he was charged with hunting down. He presents his documents to Galavix telling him that Tembrial is a fugitive from Daeryn and he must be surrendered to him immediately. Galavix denies his claim, saying as long as Tembrial never breaks one of the laws of Valune, the **Red Brook Mercenaries** don't care about their soldiers legal status in other nations.

## On The Hunt

The party concedes that they can't do much about the **Red Brook Mercenaries** and Tembrial. They decide to find out where Tembrial is living and maybe get to him unofficially. However, they discover that he is one of the three large barracks in the center of Kitwe and is nigh impossible to get to without an entire army swarming down on them. They decide that the only real way to get to him is if they find dirt on him, which will forfeit the protection of the **Red Brook Mercenaries**.

Meanwhile, Ren receives a communication from Jorna Aluhm, who tells him that he is in the sewers of the inner city and has been trapped because those sewers aren't connected to the outer city. He says that if he ever comes to the surface, he would be caught immediately. The reason he is in so much trouble is because he was trying to find dirt on Galavix, whom he suspects of being complicit in the attacks on the monastery.

## Killing Two Birds

The party concocts a plan to reach Jorna Aluhm using their portable hole. They sneak into the sewers of the outer city and use the portable hole to move into the inner city undetected. Ren retrieves Jorna, whom he asks a few questions. He informs Ren that the visions he has been seeing were not something he is capable of, but his master is the one who granted him the ability to place that on Ren, and as such he can't remove it. His boss, a powerful being, has been AWOL for a while now. They suspect something evil is brewing and anything that has to do with this plan should trigger Ren's visions, per the enchantment place upon him.

They sneak Jorna Aluhm out of the city, who gives Ren a short range magic item that can communicate with him, so the communication won't be so one way anymore. He also tells them a secret way into the HQ of the **Red Brook Mercenaries** so that they can get some dirt on Galavix. He tells them that his office is on the second floor, and hopes they have better luck sneaking around and are more successful.

## Night Rules

The party briefly report back to the monastery. They have a meal with the monks. Camilla reports back to Tariq what the party has discovered up until this point. He encourages her to stay with the party until they complete their task. Ren plays a trick on Wrax and Camilla by stealing coin from Wrax and placing it in Camilla's person. He waits for Wrax to figure out what happened.

The party heads down into the city at night. Under the cover of darkness they sneak into the sewers again. They use the portable hole to move into the inner city sewers. They move to right under the HQ and come up to the surface. They sneak to along the side of the fortress that is the HQ of the **Red Brook Mercenaries** and search for an find the secret door they were told about.

They make it into a dark storage room on the first floor. Ren and Dhamon go invisible and the party prepares for anything...
