Instructions

WARNING: Image contains visuals of burning buildings, weapons and the spell Poison Spray. Click to change images :D Real-Life Group Updates: Unfortunately, @flaredragon12 has to leave for IRL reasons, so they will no longer be a member of the campaign... :( However, on the bright side, @CatShade has joined with their character, Meegs the Changeling, who is a multiclassing Rogue/Fighter! Also, I think that @UnwantedCat is still blocked -_- Weather: Same as last session; clear with very little clouds and no chance of precipitation. New Moon. The fire is still spreading; the library is now almost completely destroyed, barely managing to maintain it's original shape, and the roof and upper floor of a next door house is starting to collapse. Additionally, you can feel that the wind is starting to pick up. "Alright!!!" someone shouts. "We need to get this fire under control, and FAST! If we don't, the entire street is going to burn down!". As you turn around, you see that the speaker is a female human, probably somewhere between her twenties and thirties, with blonde hair and green eyes, standing near the library. Looking closer, you see that she's wearing chainmail, has at LEAST a shortsw0rd and a longsw0rd on her person, and has her hair obscuring one of her eyes. @Bequitesunshine, you are aware that is Balakaina, the person who helped you earlier. What now? Status Updates: @daphne-says-hello118, you went into the library and managed to rescue a Tiefling child, the librarian's assistant, from what you can tell. At the moment, you are standing outside of the library with @Bequitesunshine, who is accompanied by a human who you don't recognize. You notice that the former is badly injured. The Tiefling child you saved is also outside with you, wearing a dazed expression. After a moment, a male Tiefling (@zxxz--888--zxxz) runs up to you and quickly explains 's problems, mainly that the guards are after him for pickpocketing, but he managed to get away. He goes on to say that you two should stick together, and that he can probably help with whatever issues have revealed themselves. , you are currently running from the guards after you failed to pickpocket someone. They had managed to catch up to you, but a Halfling kid walked up and started talking to them, successfully distracting them, before he promptly Poison Sprays them so you can get away. You have managed to find a temporary hiding spot, but you can clearly see the burning buildings and the guards. At the moment, you can see that they are looking around for the Halfling kid, who you noticed, shortly before you ran, had morphed into an adult Tiefling. , after badly w0unding most of the thugs who lit the building on fire and k1lling the rest of them, aided by Balakaina, you run back over to the library, Balakaina close behind you. You hear someone shouting "PICKPOCKET!!!", and after a few moments, a Tiefling runs up to and hastily tells her some things that you can't quite make out. , you are still in the tavern, looking out the window at the surrounding chaos, and examining the objects on the counter, hoping to steal some of them. The objects are: Some stray coins from the last few orders, which are mainly copper and silver pieces; and a paper, which seems have a code for something. Behind the bar (as in, counter), you also notice a key. It seems to be the tavern's skeleton key. , after searching the library, in which you found the d3ad librarian, a book in Celestial about Fiends, and a book where all the writing appears to be a cipher of some kind. You quickly walk back outside towards some shouting of "PICKPOCKET!!!" and shapeshifting into a Halfling kid, you distract the guards chasing and Poison Spray them, before quickly making your escape and turning into an adult Tiefling. After that, you walk up to the closest person, , and start explaining 's problems, and that it'd be best if you stick together. , as you stand outside in the streets, you watch quite a few occurrences happen very quickly; you saw a Gold Dragonborn chasing after a group of people going down a nearby alleyway, and at about the same time, you saw another person, possibly a Werewolf, dash out the door of the library with a stunned Tiefling child close behind. You also saw someone, another Tiefling, running away from a group of guards, shortly before a Halfling child runs up and Poison Sprays the guards, and both the Tiefling and the kid run off separately. After a moment, you see yet another Tiefling, missing a tail, walk up to the possible Werewolf and strike up a conversation. Around the same time, you also see the Dragonborn running back, badly 1njured, along with a female Human. You get the sense that the latter doesn't know the Dragonborn.
