Scouting parties of the drow have been
Martial law had been declared
Hadn't heard anything from Torgus or his mother
Sent a note to Thendor
Carmina had a reading that change was coming, but it would be alright in the end. In for a bumpy right. Torgus's mother would be important
We went to the Suds Bar
Met Modric Hammerhand, learned that there had only been a few lockdowns like this in the last 300 years.
Is the lockdown being used as part of the Thane Plot?
Find a barricade trying to get to the Granite Disk
We decide to use Send to with the Mages to get the mages.
Find a
Queen and I are under house arrest. Accused of killing the king.
We are all integrated
Afterwards we are led to the lift and are brough to the Granite Disk.
The entire disk is flooded with Battlebrack Clan guards.
We are lead to the Stonefist compound by the inquisitor without interruption.
We go to a new part of the Stonefist Compound. We go to a residential section.
We enter a palatial receiving room, which we presume is the home of the Thane Teric Stonefist and his family.
We have been requested by the Queen and Torgus to advocate on their behalf to prove their peace.
Crumpled slimy mess of hair, mixed with clothing, in the wardrobe area with a mirror. Bloody and slimy skin suit.
The thane's face.
No bones, no meat.
The chambers don't have locks in between rooms.
The doors to the area do have locks.
The prince and the thane were heard arguing.
Prince had been up there for a few days.
Inspection of the skin suit.
No puncture marks or slashes. There is a tear that goes from the crown of head to just past the shoulders. The clothes are still on it. The neck is a bit torn.
Inside the tear, it is completely empty inside. It doesn't look like the skin suffered trauma.
The decanter has a very nice whiskey. The decanter and the glass smell like each other.
The slime is not doing anything to our skin.
Servants found the body the next morning.
Isn't doing anything to the skin/fingers.
Tastes a little tingly. Smells of rotting.
Pale, featureless, lanky humanoid.
Doppelganger?
Adopt the look, they consume the soul of the person that they take.

How long had he been acting weird?
Was known to listen to new information and adapt.

Change was brought by the King
Garmina
What were you doing before you found the body?
Waiting for the staff finish the scones. The cinnamon scones.
No arguments heard that morning. Last argument she heard was prior night.
Bells can be wrung to call for staff.
Found morning shift.
Marcus
Unable to commune with dead.
This helps confirm that the Thane is dead.
How long has it been there as an escape hatch.
It could explain how the creature got out
The big round portal is an escape path off the tower.
This removes Torgus from the suspected list.
from Grademe Gravelgut
Since he
Garrok Stonefist is the next Thane
We ended at the Stonefist Compound with the investigators having released Torgus and the Queen from lockdown.
