Bounty Hunters: The Missing Book

Sessions

• Bounty Hunters - Session 1

Timeline

• Some people with various connections are pulled together to track down a thief and his stolen goods (Whip, Therunin, Bern, Elian, Joana), at the Dragonfly Inn
• They are met by one Lyannia Othelio, who outlines the contract. The primary lead is an alchemy student that has gone missing named [Eurasmus Draddrin]]. No other evidence ties the suspect to the crime.
  • Party requests access to the scene of the burglary. Lyannia cannot agree immediately, must check in with Chancellors. Party is encouraged to gather information in the meantime.
• The first night is some preliminary investigation:
  • An alchemy student's whereabouts are unknown, so he seems a likely lead. Joana and Whip track down his living place.
  • The rest investigate the exterior scene of the crime.
    • The University Library is fully locked from within, with no windows on the first story and all windows on the second story bolted from within.

People

• Lyannia Othelio - Member of one of the leading houses who is very interested in getting this book back
• Whip, Therunin, Bern, Elian, Joana - People who are either bounty hunters on the regular, or have some other connection to this job and wanted to make some quick cash. Therunin, in particular, has a tight connection with the Circus Librorum
• Eurasmus Draddrin - Prime Suspect #1, but only because he is missing. He would have no access and thus needed help.
  • Has two main professors, Graggar the Grey and Eadrin Syrill
  • Beyond his presence at the gaming tables of the Cock'n Bottle, little is known of his friends, relations, and personal life.
• Bacon - Inkeeper of the Dragonfly Inn
• Bolero, A Bardic College student in 3D - helped us find Eurasmus' room and told us of The Girl. Last saw Eurasmus "maybe a week" ago.
• Eurice, Hakani human, Eurasmus' paramour. Callused hands, probably a local, peasant. Brown hair. Short. Bolero: "Recognized her from the library," probably a student but not a Bard. "Young, pretty enough." Probably not Bardic college. 5'3.
  • "Well, my folks were freeholder in the South. Great Grandpay Ved got the place back in the Restoration."
  • Orphaned 2 'couple of' years ago. Sold estate, moved to city. "I didn't really take to the academic life, though. Didn't really figure that out till I'd spent most of that money, but the folks at the library were kind enough to hire me."
• Dresdal, a librarian known to Therunin. Old, first-gen half-elf.

Places

• Dragonfly Inn - Meeting place of the bounty hunters
• Cock 'n' Bottle - Student slum hangout
• Eurasmus' Hovel, 3rd floor room. Missing shoes, alchemical kit, money, valuables. His mother is religious and his copy of the Canon of Orthodoxy reads "Eurasmus - Don't spend so much time studying that you forget the only book that matters! --Mom"
• The Library, scene of the crime. Where Dresdal the Librarian works.
  • The Restricted Section, in the spire at the centre of the building
• The Mausoleum, in a grove behind the library. Enchanted to best dust-free. All sets of pritns leading into and out of the mausoleum matched -- so if anyone teleported in, they also teleported out.
