[QUOTE="ratzofftoya, post: 8502275, member: 98819"] Our second session went rather well! Our party began on the deck of the Coaltongue, enjoying the few hours of calm sailing and peaceful bobbing in open water, surrounded by the escort vessels. The guests marveled at the arcs of energy zooming across the capacitor-cum-dining hall as the band played jaunty tunes. [B]R'ren[/B], not one for seafaring, was having trouble keeping many of the canapes down while [B]Ekthos [/B]comforted him. [B]Brakkus [/B]did his best from being [I]literally bored to death[/I] as Stover kept ushering him around from one interminable conversation with a stuffy city official to the next. Meanwhile, [B]Egberticus [/B]and [B]Ume [/B]coordinated the dinner service while doing their best to enjoy the view. After a brief run-in with King Aodahn, who was complaining to Harkover Lee about some fey-borne food poisoning--something about them not being pleased with the King's excursion into the sea--Ume had a run-in themselves. While trying to save a toppling tray of wolf fillets and chicory, Ume bumped Lorna Elk and spilled her drink all over her gown. Elk was not pleased whatsoever. As director of the Ministry of Learning and Arcana's Bureau of Modern Contraptions and Utilities, she had an important function to serve in the event, which was now positively ruined. Even Geoff Massarde's parlor tricks didn't manage to placate Lorna, who was absolutely inconsolable. Egberticus tried to defend their friend and R'ren ultimately intervened by casting Charm Person...on his boss. That decision would come back to bite him. But first, Stover informed the gang that they were falling asleep on the job! Brakkus had helped Duchess Ethelyn to a room earlier, when she asked for a quiet place to take a nap. But now the king was minutes away from making his speech and Ethelyn, the king's own sister, was nowhere to be seen. This was exactly the kind of stunt that Stover and Harkover asked the party to avoid. While Egberticus and Ume continued with their culinary duties, the other four headed below decks. There, they were greeted by the Duchess's handmaiden, Sokana Rell. Sokana informed them that the Duchess would be out shortly, but the gang was not satisfied with her somewhat obvious prevarication. Brakkus, not the most patient sort in the best of times, pounded on the door so hard that it flew open, and the gang instantly discovered that the Duchess had escaped, apparently out of a window. [MEDIA=youtube]arNEipBqfww[/MEDIA] Sokana wasted no time in attacking, along with an assassin who emerged from the shadows. The party dispatched the assassin and began to search for Sokana, who disappeared in a puff of smoke. They also quietly informed Stover and others about the would-be saboteurs, thereby alerting Ergberticus and Ume.
