taluminLast time we were running and running and running with a rakshasa after us. Thankfully, the rakshasa (like most cats) was going to play with its food, and followed us at a leisurely pace. This gave us time to loot as we went.
We busted through the corridors, tricked the undead ogre (or maybe giant) that the rakshasa used as a guard into letting us pass, and broke out into the rakshasa's mansion. I think we slowed the rakshasa down when we spotted it coming and the gunslinger hit it with a silver bullet, making it bleed for the first time since we encountered it. When given the option between two doors, we took the one that was a trap. We ended up in the trophy chamber and naturally tried to loot it. We got some stuff, and defeated the traps, but not before Kaz got possessed by 'something' and cut the ranger in half. (she got better). In true Free Company fashion, this possession was cured by the gunslinger shooting me in the face. (It was kinda awesome - first I rolled a crit to attack the ranger, then the gunslinger rolled a crit on me.)
The rakshasa assumed we were trapped in the trophy room, so we took the opportunity to rest, and then the warlock showed back up and led us to the teleportation room. We fled just as the rakshasa walked in. We had two options, and we took the one that kept us in the city.
This led to a discussion as to where to go next. The dwarf wanted to find the "false" prophet we've been hearing about FOREVER. The rest of us wanted to get as far from the rakshasa as possible. And that's when we received - first, a message from our employers, the vampire twins, and second, a message from Merrazhaan, the evil-doer whose henchman took control of a dragon and then had the dwarf shivved. Naturally, we split the party. The gunslinger went to check out a lead out of the city, the halfling tried to walk out (since he's unknown to be our associate), the warlock and ranger went to meet the twins, and the dwarf and Kaz went to meet with Merrazhaan.
The meeting with Merrazhaan was possibly the funnest I've had in a while. It was through an intermediary, who was TERRIFIED of us, and I manage to get the dwarf to entertain the idea of killing this guy and taking all his money. Also, the information we were given matched my idea to go where the rakshasa would least suspect.
The twins, however, want us to go the other direction. I love that we continually make a deal with these two, and then IMMEDIATELY do the opposite. So the next time we meet, we say "oops, sorry, we'll go do that thing you want now" and then do something else again.
That's where we left it, but I think next session will have a higher RP factor.
