75 - Headless Axman (pt. 3)

• Met with the Countess’ court mage, Zaghal, who provided the party a map in exchange for half an hour with Johanna
• Party went out to collect shards
• Any shards they didn’t get the first time around because the people weren’t convinced, they stole, or scared the owners with auditory illusions of an ax grinding on the stones
• Johanna used locate object to find any shards that may not have been on the map
• One in the temple
  • Managed to convince the priestess to let them into the crypts
•  One in a noble’s manor
  • Attempted to seduce the butler, but he did not budge
  • Tittlin snuck in using a potion of invisibility and haste
  • Found the lockbox that the shard was in, but failed to unlock it
  • Lockbox started ringing, so Tittlin shoved it in the bag of holding and booked it out of the house, just as the invisibility wore off
  • Butler saw Tittlin jump out the front door, so Tittlin used Eversmoking Bottle to escape
  • Spesof broke open the box
• Tittlin went alone to meet with the countess
• She recognized him and had his wanted poster, but did not care about any mischief he was causing in Stormcairn
• Tittlin attempted to get some of the cash upfront, but the countess didn’t budge
• Party waited till night and handed the remaining shards to the Dullahan
  • Dullahan was glad to have his head back, and tossed the party some coin
  • Dullahan informed the party that the scar-faced man who raised him was a green dragon in disguise
• Party found a sick orphan in the slaver’s hideout
