Team Alfa Thirtieth Session

Notes

• A small line has formed outside of Alma's door. "The Consortium" is made up of Mal, Alma, and unknown other interests.
• Gorra goes and talks to the dwarves in the dwarven compound and find that while they aren't formally with the dwarf lord o' mithril they are mostly excited about his impending visit once informed. Gorra tries to dampen the enthusiasm.
• Sid stakes out the window while the party does more interviews. He sees invisible feet land outside Wallkott's window and move into the street. Sid closes the window as a canary.
• Wolf and Thola stake out the casino from the weaponsmith's shop. Wolf recognizes a likely escort as someone he's seen with Charlie before.
• Conversation with Charlie, who (along with Janet) is a friend of the former escort-runner for Sly's casino. She has recently struck out on her own. Charlie introduces the party to Yannie Stubb, a halfling.
  • She is very stone faced and evasive. When the party presses the issue, she goes to "Get some sugar." The party hears the shattering of glass and Yannie returns (without any sugar). Wolf goes to investigate over Yannie's protests and Thola "suggests" that it's time for Yannie to come clean about Wallkott.
  • Yannie confirms everything the party has learned about Sly's front for the Greatlord Hurtz. Reveals that Wallkott is harvesting the dreams of others for use as a narcotic. Yannie has been an unwilling participant in this scheme, and further reveals the "client" the party met earlier was Wallkott in disguise. The shattered glass turns out to be poison that she *almost* drank. Yannie also continually suggests, with sadness, that she's going to die for revealing this but she just doesn't care anymore.
  • Yannie reveals that Wallkott comes every few days to get a fresh order of dreams, but several of the arcane-savvy members of the party realize that Wallkott will know his suggestion triggered and might come to investigate. The party assumes the worst and - knowing a little about Wallkott's powers - throws together a makeshift defense of Yannie's brothel. Spruce the Talking Horse is sent out of buy several hundred pounds of flour which the party spreads around the main room while Thola takes a nap to recover her spells
• bat-recon team spots an invisiblish shitbird (Wolkott) incoming
• minor illusion of Yonnie on the floor. She hides behind the bar with an assortment of potions and weapons stashed. The rest of the party takes positions watching the two entrances.
