Gameplay 3 - Demonic Petitioner

The bar patrons spill out of The Cast Iron and chase after Grok, but his stamina is greater than theirs and he loses them and makes it Nar's door.

Nar, having just set down his newly resized spiked full plate, hears Grok pounding on his door. Elsewhere, bells of alarm sound, and in the distance you can hear screams.

Your rooms are essentially adjoining, and so you will all hear Grok's pleas.

Three of you will remember first hand a mass illusion perpetrated by cultists of Orcus that started in the prison back in Marian Town. That was the work of a powerful magician (who was never identified), or the direct intercession of the demon Prince itself.

As you prepare yourselves for three unknown, the alarm bells and screams cease and relative silence returns to the city.

A patrol of town guard is jogging your way, toward the prior alarms.

"Alarms! If you're good with a weapon, you're welcome to join us. Might be over now." The constable and his crew continue to jog toward the former sounds.

As those of you who follow Jhishma, including Owen and Nar, and maybe tipsy Grok who follows Nar, and assuming Fritz follows Nar, too, and Cyrind'ae who might be going with the patrol.

Okay, you race down the street with the patrol and find a small water brigade putting out the last touches on a fire charring the side of a tavern, with a sign labelled as The Cast Iron.

An aproned lady wipes her brow with her forearm and looks about. "There! That's the one that dids it!"

She is, of course, pointing at Grok.

If there are any demons about, they are well concealed.

Some kind of perceptiony roll (Insight or Perception) could be attempted. Or other kinds of sensings.
