So, the party follow the owl into the next room. The party, consisting this week of a human druid, a half-elf sorceror, a half-elf warlock with an imp familiar, and a paladan (not sure of the race, I think it was human), listened at the door, noting the sounds, including someone screaming orders in Common. The sorceror opens the door a crack to see that there are rats everywhere, and at the centre of the madness is a wererat. At the end of the room is magical darkness. The imp, who is invisible, sneaks in, and sees through the magical darkness with demon sight, and finds two thrones, one with that owl sitting on it, and the other being occupied by a drow sorceror.
With that the druid, now in bear form, bursts in and starts to attack. The warlock gets his familiar to attack some rats as does the paladin. The sorceror goes on to using a crossbow to fight some rats. Course the wererat is biting, then pulling out a sword to attack mostly the paladin and the druid. In the end, when the wererat is fallen, he shrieks in his dying breath "You said you were going to save me.". Before reverting into a human.
As this happens, remaining rats scury away, and the magical darkness fades to revel the drow and the owl (warlock was all like " by the way guys..."). It is noted that sue is wearing the crest of the Order of the Ori, an organization trying to rid the world of corruption and strife. The drow comes out of trance and says into them thus:
"I see you past the test, not bad for short notice, given the circumstances. I must thank you for ridding the world of one more wererat. Now the magical seal in that one room should be gone. Your employer should be waiting there with your pay. Good day."
With that she and her owl dimension door out of the manor.
The group go into the room to talk to the employer, an elf who introduces herself as Ailef Alsome, region baroness. She further tells them of a plight in a network of abandoned mines that were being retrofitted as a sewer system. The workers in there are either going missing or turning up dead with the rune of Knarule carved into them. The quarry foreman is refusing to send anymore people into the mines until the issue has been dealt with.
Course, a halting measager bolts in to inform Ailith of a failed business preposition. At which the elf tries to leave.
Course, the druid asks "there are many displaced due to your king, holed up in mountains, freezing to dead. Surely you could spare space in your manor for them, could you not?"
Ailith replies "Even if I did, there isn't the space for everyone."
The druid presses on , "but you could have some people in, surely that is better than no one. I mean, your manor is huge."
"Let me see what I can do," she replies, "now, if you excuse me, I have business to attend to, business that will better all the displaced.". Then walks away.
The group spends the night at the tavern cave. As they leave they see Ailith talking to the barkeep. They have a heated discussion regarding Ailith renting out part of her manor to the dwarf, and the drawf refusing because Ailith is a baroness of the same king that displaced Everholm. During this the paladin gets a drink to closely easdrop while the sorceror sits at a distance , the warlock sending his imp to investigate, and the druid shape changing into a cat for a better look.
During the conversation, Ailith hands the dwarf something wrapped in cloth, which the dwarf peeks at. The imp notes that inside then cloth was the crest of the order of the Ori. The dwarf hands it back to Ailith and tells her " I'll think about it." As Ailith walks away.
