Session 5

Summary
Standing before the Ratlings, the party attempted to explain why and how they were in the sewers. However, the unexplained presence of humans in their domain caused an array of emotions among the Ratlings. Most prominently, this manifested as hostility from their leader, who expressed significant doubt about the group's story. Further tensions emerged when the guards were unable to locate the supposed path the party described. In a final act to prove themselves, the party escorted the leader to their entry point, and after some investigation, a switch to open the path was revealed. Still somewhat uneasy, the leader requested the group return to their throne room so they could discuss a deal for how to handle their pursuits at The Arcanum. Garethar and Rowan returned, while both Edward and Waltar ventured back to the torch holders in order to ensure the path remained open. At the throne room, Garethar and Rowan agreed to acquire a list of magical items for the Ratlings. However, each were unwittingly fitted with a bracelet, and informed they would be turned into rats if they did not return with the items within "two moons". Heavily displeased, the group made their way out of the sewers, dragging the corpse of Snarrlok behind them as evidence of their exploits. Once outside, the massive size of the beast proved quite burdensome, causing Garethar to leave its body outside Rivenkeep Castle. Retiring to the inn for the evening, the party enjoyed restful sleep, with the exception of a nightmare experienced by Waltar. In the morning, the group ventured to Weldon's Wondrous Wares in order to learn more about what they had uncovered in the sewers. Upon leaving the shop, they found two Rivenkeep Guards hassling Milford about the discarded corpse near the keep. However, after a moment, the duo mysteriously dropped their pursuit, and abruptly returned to their business. Deciding their best course of action lay at The Arcanum, the party continued forth to seek out Harbinger Ilsana.
