Session Notes
Our heroes, the Circle of Darkmoor, never individuals to venture into the sewers a single time when multiple visits are at their… disposal, returned to the stinking depths, investigating a figure your humble chronicler helped them identify: Barnabus Rey.
According to my extensive research, I can report that Barnabus Rey was the one-time Captain of the Watch, entrusted to safeguard the nobles. The history recounts that Rey, at midnight, opened a hidden door that allowed the assassins of the church of Zuggtmoy to climb from the sewers into the catacombs beneath the manor house and… nearly…. to pluck the ruler of Old Darkmoor from his throne. The nobles fled, but that was the end of their rule, though the war against the Elementals continued for some years in their absence.
The Circle discovered a shadowy figure at the western extent of the sewers who, being discovered, dumped his burden into the waste stream. The heroes pursued and ran down their prey. The story that was told to me, dear reader, you will scarcely believe.
The youth they captured, a miscreant who calls himself “Timmer,” reported that he and others have for some time been serving an evil master known as Loch, who has paid them handsomely for unearthing the deceased of Darkmoor and dumping their decaying forms in piles in the sewers.
This Loch creature supposedly, is a well-dressed resident of Elder Pool who frequents a certain downtown tavern.
After further investigations the Circle traced this “Loch” to the Guild Hall, where he is reputed to be a prominent member, under a different name which I shan’t at this time reveal.
The Circle found their way to the residence of this Loch where they were met with a less than contrite welcome. During their bootless attempts to extract a confession from this dandy, Loch’s female companion slipped away through a concealed passage down into, once again, an underground complex.
Hammond, the Nicholite friar disappeared in her wake, and the others followed suit.
What happened next, you ask, eager reader? I promise to tell.
Next week.
