The Zentharim have not only provided us with a mission, to steal the “Infiltrator’s Key” from the Ammakyl’s mansion, but also provided us with invitation to Lord Ammakyl’s daughter’s coming-of-age party on that very evening. We decided to go there disguised as guests and try to locate the key from there with a spell. To do so, we needed to know what an “Infiltrator’s key” looks like. So we did some research in the Fountain of Knowledge.
Next on the to do list was to get outfits for the occasion. At the shop, Posmet grabbed a cloak and disappeared into the changing room - where he asked his Imp what it would cost to get an Infiltrator’s Key for Kaiya, since she had expressed her wish to have one. It seemed like he wants to sell it to her, in exchange for a contract. All dressed up - Posmet in a coat, Thoredim dressed like a fancy lord, Kaiya with a black wide dress to hide things, Shan with nothing - we went to the party.
In the main ballroom, we spotted Remalia Haventree, representative of the Harpers. Observant lady that she is, she asked us not to make too much of a scene, no matter what we were planning to do.
One by one we snuck off into the basement, where we had located the key. We got stuck hearing voices ahead, and before we could decide what to do, Shan and Thoredim were found… and promptly asked to join a card game. Turned out, we stumbled into Lord Annakyl’s son’s “Man Cave” where he was hiding from the festivities with three other Lords. Kaiya snuck in as a bat, and while the other two kept the Lords busy with a drinking game, looked around. Eventually, Kaiya and Posmet got stuck at a door secured with an alarm spell, and since the only one who can dispel magic in the group was getting progressively more drunk, Kaiya decided to pick him up from the game, playing the role of his “wife”. With a combination of Kaiya’s Charm spell and Posmet’s Suggestion spell, we convinced a drunk Lord Kyriel Ammakyl to give us a little tour and then go upstairs to join his sister’s ceremony.
Here we were now, alone in Lord Kyriel’s “Artifact Room”, looking at a huge bank-vault door. To open it, we would have to solve a puzzle…
