[QUOTE="Ajar, post: 6337862, member: 85901"] Damata took the opportunity to hack at the unconscious Sylvester with his axe, saving the party the need to decide whether to kill him or not. After a quick survey of the cave and the dead Family goons, they made an exit. Viveen asked Damata how it felt to swing an axe, and he replied that this was the first time he'd felt connected to his ancestors. They discussed his contingency plan to go into hiding with a business friend near Sid Minos, and agreed that it should still be sound. After taking a circuitous route back to the train, including splitting up, they went to the arena. They were in one luxury booth, Luc and Ottavia in another, and Elanor, Isobel, and three potential buyers at the centre. They all watched the 'festivities' -- which horrified my players -- while the bidding escalated. When Mapple came out, they seemed interested. When he announced himself as Andrei von Recklinghausen, they seemed extra interested... and yet, though they waffled during his battle with the pyrecat when he almost escaped and hung off the edge of their balcony for a moment before the cat dragged him back down, they ultimately decided not to intervene. Elanor auctioned Isobel off to Father Balthazar for 1.5 million gold. Murdok and Bela left the arena and went to Rock Rackus' concert (the party had previously declined to go get him before the arena trip). Vesta, Viveen, and Reginald decided to try to help Isobel. Vesta's an eladrin, and couldn't abide Isobel being sold -- not to mention to a Crysillyri priest. Once again, my players decide to split the party! Vesta figured out the most likely route Father Balthazar's carriage would take from the arena to his mansion. Balthazar and his entourage left in four carriages, each with two guards and a driver, plus an escort of a dozen personal guards on horseback. Before leaving the arena, Vesta used his Vekeshi Mystic tracker ability on Isobel, so for the next day he'll know unerringly which direction she's in. Reginald's consciousness fragment stealthily tailed the carriages and figured out that Isobel and Balthazar were in the lead carriage. When they're ready, Vesta will teleport into the carriage through Reginald's consciousness fragment and attack Balthazar, while Viveen creates a distraction among the other carriages and Reginald supports either Viveen directly or Vesta through his consciousness fragment. What. The. Crap. I spent a bunch of time making a huge arena map. I was sure Vesta wouldn't be able to refrain from interfering... but I thought he would interfere AT THE ARENA. Now I'm having a hard time seeing how he (and possibly two other characters) don't die when we play again on Sunday. In the meantime, I guess I have an entirely new encounter to design. And if they do fail but escape, their next plan is to try breaking in to his mansion... [/QUOTE]
