Too Many Coups

We shake down one of the cultist archers who tells us:

• He’s just here as a job, he’s not a zealot

• they source their victims from different places

• Prisoners are fully drained (current batch)

• Sapphire club gets a few years syphoned off and are unconscious and unaware

• (missed the third)

• Zealots are almost fully drained then sent to the gallows (???) so that people think the cult is weak

• Tells us he was once part of a noble house under the dragon. His house wasn’t particularly loyal to the dragon and so when the dragon fell, his family was striped of their titles and riches - while houses loyal to the dragon were allowed to keep their status..? That doesn’t add up

We get lead out of the caves and head to the Gold District after taking a short rest

We see that the city is on lock down on the order of the Hierophant and Emperor (another coup???) Walden Lourdes is claiming rule with the Swords of Aeon

We decide to scale the wall of the city to sneak into the Gold District. We scale it good, and suck getting down. We roll bad, we have 2 points of exhaustion (-4 to all d20s)

Off to get home to Mazy

Bitterman is flustered - Mazy hasn’t returned from her political recon (uh oh)

We long rest (now at -2 for d20s and -5ft movement)

We head to the enclave district - insert tavern name

“Hey what happened here with the regime change?”
We heist into the church to find mazy success! 

She tells us: moore and the council weren’t involved but the lord of walls was playing both sides

We bust her out and sneak out of Saint Dumas cathedral

Morning of day 7 we hear a horrible roar, and explosion, and dragon nukes everything as he bellows for Alabaster 

LOOP!
