Bloo approaches Banana, bugbear approaches Lyra character, who wants drinks and is apparently gambling for it, Nim awkwardly leaves
Lyra is gambling for drinks
1 pint of beer that’s frothy, which Lyra chugs
Nim character goes to room on 4th floor to go sleep
Bugbear is trying to find people who know the plan related to the count to see Nim but Banana is t-posing in front of Nim’s door bonking her head into the door
“What the fuck” says the Bugbear in Goblin
The bugbear knocks politely and talks to Nim and asks about the plan involving the count
Nim opens the door, Banana naruto runs into the door
“Hi” “Hi”
Bugbear: “I’m head of security for the Count and I believe you have plans involving the Count may I know about them”
“No” Nim shuts the door
Bugbear knocks again
Nim: “No”
“I’m not religious” Mar says after walking out hearing the commotion
Bugbear: “Do you know any plots involving the Count”

“You should leave thru the window”
“Yes” Clea writes back
Bugbear walks down to the bar to ask some questions
Bugbear: “Would like some info? Which proprietors of this fine establishment may be involved in a plot to potentially commit illegal activities. I promise if you help me catch them I’ll make it worth your while”
Bartender holds out hand, Bugbear gives silver piece
Bartender: “Seliph is orchestrating this”

04.03.0347 Morning | The Tavern, Canonbury, Fusilla
The bar is completely empty, no tavern keep
Nim walks out and knocks on Mar’s door, “He’s gone, let’s go”
They also get Banana and Lyra and go downstairs
The 4 of y’all see the bugbear but walk past
Skaga and Bloo also walk down and see it
Go downstairs, massive feast on the first floor, 2 spit roasted chicken, the device still rotating, massive gravy, boiled potatoes, lots of potatoes, lots of fruits
Before we get to the food
Seliph: emerges from cellar with barkeep behind him
Seliph: “I know there’s a bugbear, I know who he is / what he’s from”
Mar: “Couldn’t you tell us about the bugbear beforehand…?”
Seliph: “Well y’all got a good night’s sleep”
Seliph: “I didn’t expect the bugbear to follow you up”
Bugbear: still sitting there
Seliph: “Where’s the bugbear”
Nim: “He’s outside your door, 3rd floor”
Bugbear: walks down to ask the barkeep to confirm it’s Seliph’s room
Barkeep: “Oh, well that’s his office where he was staying”
Bugbear: “Where was he at that moment”
Barkeep: “Well he was there”
Bugbear: “Can I ask some questions?”
Seliph: “No, but I can ask some”

Seliph: “I know where your loyalties lie”
Bugbear: “In my sack?”
Seliph: “What is your relationship to the count”
Bugbear: “He pays me to know who’s murdering him, I’m here to figure out if you’re murdering him”
Seliph: “We’re robbing him”
Bugbear: “I’ll join you!!”
Nim and Mar: “Bruh”
Bugbear: “Can I have money” Seliph tosses it to him
Seliph: “The count will be out for 6 hours as he preps for the festival. The plan is to go into his manor. Supposedly he keeps a key down to a secret lab in his basement.”
Seliph has a forged key of the front door
Bugbear: “Can I have the key?” Seliph hands him the key
Bugbear bends it, Seliph bends it back
Hands Nim the key
Seliph has another key, cause he doesn’t trust us
Seliph: “The count is actually corrupt” ^040504
Bugbear: “He is? Wait tell me more”
Seliph: “We think he is in possession of something LoL wants or he is in cahoots with the LoL, go ahead and collect evidence, since we need to prove he is corrupt”
Seliph: “It’s a slight trek, use that bag to secure the item, we need to leave, so eat”
Canonbury Manor Heist
We arrive at these massive gates outside the manor
Bugbear: “The front yard has nothing in it that I know of, he always says I can’t go in the basement so there’s possibly traps in there, and at least 4 staff, not living”
“Don’t go in the basement cause you’ll be exploded”
“No there are no traps in the manor at all except the basement”
Bugbear: “Let’s go to the back” and he leads the way after a lot of bickering
We open the staff entrance and now we’re in the kitchen, Bloo gets a cookie from Bugbear
Kitchen on ground floor, one upwards stair and one downwards stair, and dining table between stairs, there are 3 floors above ground total
One room on 2nd floor, it is a storage closet, janitor supplies, etc.
Mar detects magic from school of conjuration
Bugbear notices something specific about how the brooms and mops are lying, it’s not natural cause gravity
Roundhouse kick the brooms and mops, which nudges it over, lots of gears shifting around sound, but nothing in area has changed
Bloo explores the first floor, see gaudy chandelier, make it fall with cone of stone, and now there’s glass all over the floor
Spiral staircase around the corner which goes up and down
Skaga opens the drawer, and Bloo stands next to her, you see a silver amulet worth 90GP
Skaga pockets it before Bloo can see
Mar investigates the down stairs by the kitchen, sees suits of armor with halberds standing there facing each other from across the hallway with stone walls
Bloo, Nim, Skaga, Bugbear goes up the side spiral stairs
Sees a door at the bottom of the spiral stairs as well
2nd floor that’s just hallway of doors
Nim opens door on the right closest to us, pushes the door open and stands there, Bugbear stands behind her, the door opens to nothing, it faces west and it’s just ground a floor up
Across the hallway, the door opens to a bedroom
Bed, chest
Nim loots the chest, slapping away Mar’s mage hand, see a glint of red light, it’s a red glowing fish
Nim throws an orange at it, it appears to be a crystal in the shape of a herring and the color is red
Nim pokes it, nothing happens, it looks distinct and unique
Bugbear: “Can I take a bite”
Nim: “it’s mine, but the next red herring we find you can take it”
Nim also gets 10 silver pieces
Bugbear steals the pillows
3rd door opens, it’s a bathroom
Bugbear tries to yank the handle, it doesn’t
We go to the 3rd floor
Big door with padlock on it
Doesn’t push
Nim picks the big padlock, and she keeps the steel lock
Ornate looking door knob, Bloo opens the door, it’s a luxury bed, silk sheets silk pillow
Banana steals the blankets
Mar looks under the bed, it’s a locked box
The lock opens
Sees a different key in the box

Bugbear rips the bed into 5 pieces
Bloo opens the bedside drawer and finds a ruby worth 200GP
We go all the way down the spiral staircase
Banana wearing a silk cape slides down the spiral staircase
2 suits of armor down the hallway at the bottom of the spiral staircase which leads to a door
Banana chucks a banana down the hallway, the axes fall down and slice, missing the banana, which boomerangs back to Banana
Bugbear: No more traps in the hallway, but after you turn the hallway there is a spike trap in the floor
Around the hallway, Nim sees a table with 3 potions and then a spike trap on the door at the end of the hallway
Mar gets the flask closest with mage hand, Nim gets the mid, and Bloo gets the furthest one
2d4 + 2: all 3 potion of healings
Nim slides open the door, it’s just stone behind it
Bloo walks through the stone wall and there’s a chest, where Bloo finds a picture of The Count from elmo
The other door around the edge of the hallway has a door, and it has a lock, mage hand the key and open the door, opens to spiral staircase downwards
We all are in the spiral staircase, and we all go down
See a big open room, barely lit by candle, see a weird object which resembles a claw on the table, papers scattered, cracked mirror, box, chairs, etc.
Banana uses Light on a banana and tosses it in
Nim rolls an orange around to see if there’s anything pressure related
Mar investigates the cracked mirror, notices that it has some white erase markers on it, looks like it has a drawing on it around the cracks, which matches the drawing on the note from under the pillow Bloo got
Nim notices nothing’s intentionally a trap, lots of papers on the ground
Bloo mage hands the papers towards us
Nim and Mar mage hand the box and shake it gently, it starts glowing and then it becomes a drone, Bloo’s papers have the words “Drone #2” on it, and
mechanical* failure o*
Eyes seem*
So avoid hi*
Bugbear: “Are you gonna kill me”
Box: “Yes”
The box always says yes
Mar goes to the drawer, and finds a notebook, it’s Mar’s now
Lots of pages ripped out from the beginning
Note: don’t forget to refill the oil reserves lest the drones go rusty
The orb is becoming less stable, 4th moon, what am i lacking, it’s a key
4th moon, 17th day, space distorts, growing unstable
20th day, fae have begun emerging from the orb, they speak our language
5th moon 2nd day, fae emerge from the orb
contain pixies in jars, they glow in odd pink and green
Strong distortion
4th day DO NOT TOUCH THE ORB SHUT IT OFF HOW
Bloo walks to the mirror, feel a sharp pain but then it goes away, can’t walk through the mirror
Mar mends it, it starts swirling
Bloo tries to walk through it, something stops but it’s a force that pushes me back
Bugbear throws an orange at the mirror, and it splats and falls down
Mar mends the orange
Nim investigates the claw hand, see that there’s a switch on it, mage hand the claw, which picks up the banana and moves it around the table
The box is just standing there saying “Yes”
Bloo walks around and feel the walls, one whole wall is made of wood
Bugbear jabs his sword in the wall, hear cracks in the wall, tries to shove into the wall really hard, gets to the hilt of the short sword, can see through now
Illusion of stone wall is fading
Mar uses axe to hit wall, weird presence felt by everyone which hits everyone
Skaga was not affected by it at all, weird mirage haze but amplified, but stronger the further down you look
See table, pink and green pixies in jars on table on right
Glass case has orb in it at the end of the room
Rug in center of room
Mar and Nim wants to pick up the rug, but it’s a can of worms
