Gavril got cross bowed bc he was like FUCK OFFFFFF
I SEE “THE RABBIT PRINCE” ON MY TAROT CARD!~!~!
Al gets “The Vision” and Gavril gets “The Theatre”
I recognize my card
It means “capriciousness of combat” - the quality of being guided by sudden and unpredictable forces
Gavril’s means:
Al’s means:
Oishin’s means Fate is against them
Burgy: Uprising = overflowing land swell
Shiv: Sudden Personal Shift
There was that msg too about meeting people like us to get revenge on Gaedron
3 Lancen Street
15th of Gozrem -> day to meet the other people outside 3 Lancen Street. Small home.
Oishin and Burgy meet up first
Oishin is small and looks homeless, one shoe, trying to break in
Burgy dressed fancy like it is a job interview. Nice outfit, bowtie and hair slicked back. Much taller
They share their Harrow cards.
Shiv arrives! Looks short 5 ft, wrapped in a dirty blanket, face obscured. Light skinned, beard, trying to wrap up in blanket to look like a homeless person. Black hair and beard, super white pale, tall for a dwarf and thing for a dwarf. Drops blanket once inside
Inside: Black skulled beasts juggling hearts, tapestry of angels dancing on a mountain top, flaming sword skeleton hand?? Basket covered by blue cloth under the table. Far wall there is a staircase. Lots of tapestry and fanciness.I see Osin’s face poking through the blinds. I make and sustain eye contact.Note on the cloth - said they had to go out et will return. Left us food. Said we should chill et eat.Oisin lock picks a door to a bedroom upstairs.Burgy’s dad got into debt and Burgy borrowed the money from Lamb but obs the debt won’t stop.Host comes home - Zellara. Varisian woman. Can’t be in the open b/c then they’ll kill her
Oisin asks “how did you know?”
Zellara says “through my cards.” No ill intent and whatnot (sense motive).
Lamb stole her heirloom harrow cards that she uses for her business, Gaedron stole the cards, her son retrieved them, returned them to her, and Gaedron murdered him. The guard doesn’t give a shit b/c corrupt and also would be murdered.
Gaedron is sleeping in a fishery tonight among kidnapped kids he trained to be thieves. Zellara divined this and wants us to help go murder him. Gavril and Burgy don’t like it. Enno and Oisin are like “fuck it, let’s gank this dick”Zellara does a harrow deck reading. 3 cards (in the past):
the liar (reversed) (assigned chaotic evil - but was flipped here into the ‘lawful good’ spot) love at most treacherous. the kind that causes lovers to leap to deaths. misaligned, can indicate a new relationship beginning, but can be disguised as something not beautiful
the peacock,
the lost (loss of identity and madness)Past:
top left - liar, reversed - love at most treacherous. the kind that causes lovers to leap to deaths. misaligned, can indicate a new relationship beginning, but can be disguised as something not beautifulmiddle left - peacock - astonishing beauty that can only be obtained by the passage of time. signifies a sudden personal change in attitudebottom left - the lost - loss of identity and madnessCurrent:
The dance: advises staying in perfect step for the greater good - those who step out of their pattern does so at their perilThe survivor: a person through an ordeal of some kind, some one or thing lost forever but found once more. Someone or something thought lost forever but comes back once more.The crows: in true alignment. Great importance/significance. Indicate violent taking of what is loved. When crows appear: murder, theft, shocking loss occursThe future:The tyrant (upside down): a ruler who is a blight upon those rules. The dragon might indicate monarch, head of the household - does harm over those he holds ownership of whether intended or not, and reversed will be unthroned or revealedThe force:
For good or ill, but a force that can’t be undoneThe keep (upside down):
Symbol, of quiet strength. Those represented by this cannot be moved by any force, but misaligned(b/c it is) means giving way to temptation or falling in the face of greater strength.
WE HAVE HARROW POINTS!

It’s been there for like 2 years or soWindows are boarded up, light coming throughSMells like rotten fishOisin knows in this location the Lambs were made to cut fish open and the innards used in a slurry to supplement the food of the poorOisin and the kids did puppet shows out of fish headsGendron is in his special room on the bottom/basement floor?Looks like maybe we can sneak around the back or something? I’m not sure. I’m not following wellBack to Al, Shiv, Burgy and me:Shiv goes to knock on Zellara’s door.No Answer.Burgy asked me about us all being brothers. I say our dad gets around. Burgy said his dad is a businessman who has a furniture store and fell on hard times. Took some bad loans. Burgy’s coach said fists are for the ring. Enno said he can be look out and rely on them to kill Gendron.Al and Severus readying the cart. Severus is worried. Al is like ‘ we’re gonna fuck people up.” Severus is formulating another plan in case. Al is like ‘tell me the idea, we collaborate well.” Collaboration meaning Severus stuck listening to Al going on and on about Garlic Ideas.Oisin surprised Al who hexed sleep behind himself and got Gavril to pass out on the ground. Oisin is laughing. Severus is in a fighting position with a piece of wood.We’re all outside now. Al dropped the hex from Gavril. Al’s lemur Isaac is creepy.Hop in the carriage and we’re on the way to the pierIt is a super clean carriage - large with a flat roof and windows around the sides with silken drapes on the windows. Two benches on either side of the carriage made from a deep crimson soft plush material. Far side opposite the door is an oil lamp that lights the inside of the carriage. It is hella posh.Brothers make asses of themselves being rich bitches. More Griffins are heading for the Castle District. Gavrill thinks something bad is happening b/c sending so many over there at this hour. Oisin guesses the king is dead.I’m watching out the back of the wagon. It’s eerily quiet. It looks weird.Oisin said everyone seems to know something is happening and is hiding away.FLINT IS BACK AT ZELLARA’S

I don’t slip!Gav sneaks good and helps Burgy up and then immediately falls down.Al perceives all and then is not at all sneaky. He guided himselfOisin sneaks ahead w/o issueBurgy helps Gav up and then attempts to walk on the boardwalk. And does it successfully!Shiv holds their action until there is space in front of them. Shiv’s still working on not fallingI sneak along up to Oisin and perception check. I heard movement and large machinery. I ask Oisin if she knows what that could beGavril finds his center and doesn't fall on his ass again.Al moves and waits it out for roomOisin knows it is just a fish blendeignrirng machine but shakes her head at Enno and just keeps on moving fwdEnno follows Oisin to the butthole of the ship and it is named Kraken’s Folly. The ship is boarded up.Gav casted Guidance on Al but Al already had it so it was a waste hahaAl is a bit stuck b/c Shiv is working on their balance. Waiting for Shiv to go. Al’s holding action til Shiv moves.Oisin keeps a’going. Getting to where she can see the railing of the deck and onto the deck. It’s barely intact, covered in rope and barnacles and bullshit. Rickety walkway. There’s a door with paintings of a red fish on it. Oisin moves up onto the deck.Burgy moves fwd, catches up to me.Shiv is able to move fwd finally, woo woo, moves fwdAl is up! And moonwalks across the boardwalk with a 21 reflex lololol.I follow OIsin up onto the deckI missed Gav’s turnOisin got up there and went into the door. There is a large spider with purple and red on its back. Oisin gets bit in the ankle and takes 2 points of damage from the bite and poison damage, 5 total. Isn’t poisoned though, woo woo! She makes a noise of pain.Burgy hurries up in reaction to the sound of Oisin in painShiv double movesI fucking GANK THAT SPIDER RIGHT IN ITS FUCKING FACE BISECTED WITH MY THROWING AXE, LET’S GOOOOOOOO, YOOOOOO. And then I go check Oisin’s ankleGavrill hears a doggo howl. Gav also finally figures out how to walk and hurries fwdOIsin’s poor boot has bites. The spider was the size of a cat. Dream spider? Oisin is gonna try to go downstairs.Severus is there, covered in spider blood, surrounded by six corpses of spiders. 2 have yellow markings and bigger than the others. Oisin asks Severus for a wrap. He has a blue liquid and bandages. He administers the blue juice and wraps her ankle.Oisin got healed by Shiv!Shiv has Shield of FaithThe floor we’re on is icky. Tons of bones around that look like children bones. Gavrill holds onto his flask in distress. Looks like a hatch in the floor has been put in. OIsin opens it. Crawlspace down to a floating tiny bridge to the under structure that leads into the lower space of the fishery building. Oisin looks like she knows where she’s going but I follow with a close eye on her. Shiv, me and Oisin smell wood smoke, something’s burning. Uhoh!Oisin starts working at the lock we come up to. Isaac casts guidance on Oisin.There is a figure in the room. It’s Gaedron! He’s mocking us. He shipped a good chunk of our staff out and said he enjoyed trying to break the girl servant that he accosted at our residence. Al tried hex and it didn’t work. Gav casts inflict light wounds. I shot him for 6dmg. He shot me w/a crossbow bolt for 8.Shiv healed me for 3.Burgy got his hands magic readyLamb’s turn: Shiv got hit by Lamb for 3. Lamb moved and aims at Gavril. Burgy is hidden from him. Atm. Lamb is like “ftw are they doing up there”Al’s turn! He healed me, what a beautiful brother! +3Burgy knocked Gendron into the water and the alligator ate him lol. We got his hand tho.Burgy is traumatizedAl has Gendreon’s hand now.Oisin opens a chest full of stuff!! (I didn’t catch it)
Part of the treasure: This brooch belongs to Queen Ienessa (sp?) Gavrill says if we try to give it back we will be killed. Enno suggested through the church but Gav said they’d likely torch the church even.We find Zellara’s head and the deck of Harrow cards in a box. Al and Shiv could tell she’d been dead a good while and that she was decapitated with a serrated blade while she was alive. Al has the box.The belltower is ringing, signaling the death of the KingThe city is burning - the heights is burning (rich people place). Uh oh. Our house is probably getting fuk’d up!Severus wants to go after the servants alone. We really wanted to go but he said no. He’s going to go get them alone (15 about - Gendron said he ‘broke’ three of them. He said he broke Mary, the fucker).Severus is off on his Rambo quest. He used a teleport rune to go on his journeyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_butlersWe are not sure what we’re doing. I think Enno wants to go back to the house. Gavrill wants us to go to the church
