Iron Kingdoms : Into the lair of the Griffons

After recovering the old book from Lord Sunbright’s Estate, the party found the location of where the old church is suspected to be, and pieced together the information that leads them to believe that the old chruch has sunk to become part of the under city, and in particular, located some where with the Griffon’s base is located.

.

With the Sweet Lords power very much limited during this time of occupation, that party were left up to their own devices and opted for a straight forward “We’re here to gamble approach”, flashing their cash the party were allowed easy entry to the lift that lowered them down to the main undercity.

.

Once there they handed over the majority of their weaponry, and a quick body search relieved Solomn of several items he had “forgotten”, Zanna insisted on a woman to frisk her and the inexperienced Griffon called in to do the job overlooked Zanna’s hidden stilleto. And so they entered into the Griffon’s den.

.

Spending some time to search the area they found it to be heavily inhabited with a mix of Griffon gang members and a cross section of town’s folk a member of the church of Morrow and what appeared to be a Thamarite priest working openly in the fighting arena. Gob entered the fighting ring to strutt his stuff and after a short delay, “Sniffer Williams” was dug up and thrown in against him. Sniffer has never won a fight in the arena and he didn’t start against Gob. In a  fight that saw more misses than hits, Gob managed to nail Sniffer just before crowd grew bored enough to beat them both senseless.

.

A visit to the brothel turned up some stories that lead the party to believe that the old church was located in a less inhabited area where debtors are disposed of, and as they emerged from the brothel they were stopped by a number of armed Griffon’s and invited to join Captain Selar for a chat.

.

The discussion seemed to be heading for a bad ending when she asked the party what they knew about the death of Mad Malick, Gob happily pitched in that he knew all about it and the death of said mad man, and went horribly quiet when he remembered that Malick was a Griffon Captain. Nervous looks were exchanged and Selar stretched out the nervous tention just long enough for Gob to think it was all over before thanking the party for killing off her main rival, rewarding them with 100 Cygnarian Towers (1000 gp).

.

Solomn then decided to push his luck and told Selar what they were doing and what they were lookin for. A brief discussion led to Selar agreeing to grant the party the right to take their weapons into the church, to keep what they find and assistance in getting the Hammer out. As well as the right to make the church into their own base if they clean it out, though  20% salvage tax will be payable.

.

So the part recovered their weapons, sent word to Kovul and Milskrat and ready themselves to descend into the church!
