Session #7 Bedroom Raiders.
The party below assembled for adventure and found that Urbo Ĉielarko authorities had recently barred entry and egress from the city as a quarantine measure. It seems that some cases of an esoteric disease known as the Grey torpor, identifiable by a grey pallor with red blotches about the victim, have been found among the populace. The upper class districts have shut themselves off from the rest of the city for their own protection during this outbreak.
Anyone suspected of carrying this disease should seek attention from the practitioners of the four humors at the yellow spire.
- Orlo the fine - Human fighter
- Greta von Sus - Mongrel-folk champion
- Anselm Adler - Cleric of Hobie
- Tanduu - Vat-Spawn
- Bobby - Human druid/old man
- Chet Von Milstead - Mongrel-folk bard
- Kindness - Scurry thief
A worrying absence is noted as Stick-bite and Worm-eater had not been seen around the Coney lately. They are often found there skulking around and eating scraps of leftover vittles.
The adventure this week was documented by Tänduu & Kindness.
Later found on a scrap of paper at the Black Coney:

A letter to Kindness' Ma
Dear Ma,
Hope you're feeling better, your boy finally found a decent gig, enclosed is 20 gold. Make sure Fat Tony gives you every coin or I'll slap him silly, he's been spending too much time at the gambling house. Made about 160 and I hope I can send more next time but I gotta buy more gear for my next gig.
Funny how I left for the city to make some cash and they sent me right back underground. Made some friends but they are all either very brave or very stupid. Not a single one hid the whole time we were down there. They don't know the darkness like we do I guess. She's a friend and a predator.
Ask Grandma why she'd cover the house with salt, she said ghosts but I always thought that was a old wives tale. We found two rooms surrounded with it and magic runes no one could decipher. They were trying to keep something in or somethin' out I couldn't tell.
You told me to show the world kindness and I'd get it in return. No offense Ma, but that was some dumb advice, you're a smart lady but this city has done nothin' but kick your boy around. They always think I'm working an angle. Maybe cuz we're scurries?
I fought a few frickin' ghouls over here. Dead people walking Ma, cant think of a worse way to spend eternity. I showed em' kindness by puttin' em down.
Same with a giant shrew who tried to eat one of my buddies noses. Showed it some kindness too let me tell ya.
Might have twisted up a witches panties when we raided her bedroom, hope she don't curse us - can't use anymore bad luck. Might have granny say a little prayer to protect your boy.
Found some fancy daggers and a silver mirror too, and a drowned guy just loaded with jingle. Talking thousands of silver Ma, more than I ever seen in my life. Honorable as ever we split it up evenly.
All the love in the world Ma, do me a solid and tell Pa he's still a prick.
Sincerely Your Boy,
Johnny 'Kindness' Cantaloni
P.S. if you got any gold left over after your medicine you might buy Aunt Janets kids some books. Sasha and Ben are dumb as a box of rocks and will need all the help they can get.
