Sex, Lies and Kidding Your Date

With the realm of Cambria in chaos following the Dragon's attack, Crow has been given the green light for a whirlwind attack (as in using lots of Wind Walk spells) on Count Draku's interests in Miredor. Crow assembles the party and introduces them to Circe, a pale serious girl with a hard stare and a large cat, Grimalkin, as a companion.

The party's first stop is the freeport of Ostelor where they hope to intercept the latest cargo of drugs bound for Cambria. Crow's local contacts quickly lead her to the warehouse where the drug shipment is stored and the party scout the building before debating which of several ingenious plans to implement. In the end they go for 'Invisible Giant Dimension Doors Drugs to Boat in Harbour'. The drugs are duly dumped in the sea.

The party's next stop is Alsarias where there is an operation to sell the surplus of the narcotics to international merchants (Count Draku does not allow the drugs to be sold in Miredor or any part of the Seven Dominions). The drugs are auctioned off by bidding for certain items (used as cover) at an otherwise perfectly legal auction. Crow manages to buy one of five tranches of the drugs wich were sold at the auction. No Name uses her charms (the slut) to gain dates with two of the other buyers. The remaining two successful buyers are followed to their accomodation.

In due course the party members staking out the merchants notice that a 'baker's delivery' has delivered an awful lot of bread rolls to the merchants and the party move to separate the buyers from their purchases. No Name successfully 'distracts' her merchants while other members of the party relieve them of the drug packages they bought. The party also secure a third set of packages and Beorhtric deposits a fourth set in the Ethereal Realm out of harm's way.

The drugs seized by the party are not in the form of the raw leaf which is shipped to Cambria but in a fully processed form. The party therefore move to take out the laboratory where they are created. Entering an abandoned warehouse through the skylight No Name forcibly exiles the two guards to another plane while the processing equipment is destroyed and to add injury to insult the party leave an exploding glyph which goes off when the guards return from their temporary planar jaunt.

Crow then whisks the party away to Count Draku's estate over the border in Maldor. The guards in the small guardhouse at the entrance to the estate are first neutralised and the party move on to start fires in his fields of nikatu (the plant from which the drugs are made). The party use various techniques from plain oil and flame to summoning fire elementals. They are, however, rudely interrupted by a group of three vrocks flying in from the direction of the estate's main house. One of them attempts to give Milo a free flying lesson. Milo, however, casts 'Create Useful Scroll Which Nobody Knew I Had Which Can Turn Into A Button As I Haven't Got Time to Read A Scroll As The Ground Is Fast Approaching'. Two of the Vrocks are killed but the third escapes towards the house.

The party approach the house from which a Marilith (a powerful demon with six arms) emerges to stand by the vrock who has now landed. The party plough into their enemies and the vrock dies while the Marilith is so injured by the fury of their attack that it teleports away.
