Last week started off with a riveting discussion on whether or not the party should dress Paavu up in Rezmir’s clothing and put her head on his head and pretend to be her. That plan was voted down and beaten out by “leaving and locking the door”, which, tbh is probably better from a safety perspective but not from a narrative perspective.
The Bunch then started exploring the castle, looking for other ways to sabotage the delivery of this loot and delaying the forthcoming encounter with Tiamat. They found a blue tower with no stairs, the upper level of Skyreach, a bunch of giant sized guest rooms, and the Cloud Giant’s Tower. The team met up with Blagothkus, briefly, as they slunk back into the hedge they had walked out of as quickly as possible. Is he friend or foe? Who knows, but he’s really big!
The Bunch then went through some more discovery of the castle, exploring a tower that is crumbling and the bottom doors could not be opened. Exploring the upper reaches they found that the top floor windows are completely covered, but there was a balcony with a door. After some classic rope tricks, the party gets in through the door and find some vampire spawn, the foot soldiers of a more powerful vampire guarding what appears to be a crypt. So the party kills the spawn, hangs out for a bit, and then opens the crypt to find a sleeping vampire. As a natural progression of events, the party pokes the vampire awake and now we all will roll initiative. Just in time for spooky season!
