  • They flee into the bathrooms. However, the guard follows Lorax into the bathroom.
  • Lorax immediately kills the poor guard. He then goes and tells Valphi that everything is fine.
  • As such, they both make their way toward the back room. The guard lets them through as he thinks they are friends.
  • During all of this, Zaleios has begun to wonder where his friends are, and has begun to look around for them.
  • Valphi and Lorax enter the back office and see a dwarf behind a long desk. He asks them who they are. In response, Valphi casts charm person again.3

  • The party gave a good fight, but with the reinforced walls and no windows, the door was the only way out. There were at minimum 12 guards outside.

Footnotes

  1. Good Lord, why?

  2. This is not rules as written. If charm fails, the target should know and will likely become immediately hostile. However, this is their first time actually doing things of their own accord without my influence. As such, I went easy on them.

  3. Fantastic! Not murder hobos at all, just actual gameplay. Gotta love it!

  4. Beautiful, now they have gold and no one else has to die! Wooo!

  5. Once again, not rules as written, but they looked soo innocent sooo.

  6. Wait- we dont have to do this, maybe the killing is a fallback plan? please…

  7. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  8. I couldnt let this go on too long. They should have been caught long ago.
