Events so far part two

Now for the second part of my catch up summery of events so far in which I will recall the events of sessions three and four.

In session three the party went looking for the people who were to become the Assassin (named Ribbon) from the chalice of Zeals's new employer. Under interrogation he had revealed that he was to meet with a man named Darrius Vrake. Knowing that that Ribbon was likely a member of the chaos cult the Brotherhood of the Horned Darkness the Party thought it best to see who his new employer was to be and what they would put an assassin to work with.

Plex and Melody turned up at the meeting place, an underhive bar and some very successful fast talking by Plex meant they convinced the door and to let them through to the back and get themselves employed by a Cabal of hideous mutants. Darrius wanted them to does a minor noble with the contents of a vile he provided them with.

In an attempt to find out what was significant about this minor noble they did some digging into records and asked around some contacts they had. It turned out that the Noble belonged to a family known as Farnalese who had formed an alliance with some other house including Warwick, the house that the officer on the Chalice of Zeal had belonged to, in order to try and do their part to stamp out corruption on Scintilla. An evil Chaos cult would obviously benefit from this going wrong. What's more they discovered that House Farnalese was struggling with a scandal as numerous members were suffering from disfiguring mutations.

At the same time as this they discovered that a new combat drug had hit the streets of the underhive allowing the people who took it to develop temporary mutations.

While all this was happening Panglos was off mingling with nobles and managed to get himself into a world of trouble when he woke up in the House of a Sinderfell and decided it would be a good idea to steal from him. Fluffing his roles to get out unnoticed he was captured, interrogated and made to promise to report on the party to one Julius Sinderfell.

When Panglos met up with the rest of the party he instantly told them what had happened where upon they were attacked by four snipers. The battle was fierce but the main injuries to the party was caused by friendly fire when Melody was dropped into critical hits from an autogun burst from Plex while she was in melee combat with one of the snipers.

In session four they set about enacting their plan to avoid blowing their cover with Darrius without poisoning the noble. Plex managed to talk him into making a show of rushing of to his secluded estate and not leaving for a while. At least at first the noble was delighted finding the whole thing to be an interesting game to play and did his part wonderfully. With that done they set about discovering what the poison was and working on a plan to take down Darrius. Melody mean while was recovering from her injuries from the last session.

They ran the poison through some advanced auspex arrays loaned to them by the Divine Light of Sollex having made allies of one of their number who had been on the target list of Ribbon. The results were unsettling as they discovered they had been asked to administer a mixture of blood, oil and herbs that were slightly psyho-reactive. Wanting to know more about what t was they acquired a manual labour servitor and gave it the does. The results... It's flesh all melted away into goo.

While this was going on Plex scouted out the bar where Darrius and his cult meet and located all the back ally's and other such secret passages so that when they assaulted the place they would know what routes to cover.

There ends sessions three and four.
