Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

This will not be about the passing of Margret Thatcher. Personally I don't know much about her work as a politician, I respect her for how she broke a union out of control and brought the country out of a devastating deadlock in the economy, although her non-compromising necesseities might have been to harsh, but since no one else did anything until it was too latedid they pay for the consequences? But enough about Thatcher. The title is refering to the witch in our DnD game. 

So we headed for the witches house in the middle of the town. We enter and the bard finds the kitchen and some bread he begin to eat. We find the door which leads to the witches study were she reads a book. Our battle minder leader kicks down the door and charges at her while she wants us to pay for a new one. All roll initiative and I'm number 2. The damn wizard is before me. He casts a magic missle. My turn and I do twin strike, rolling a natural 20 and a succes on the other, racking up 30 in damage. The pixie only does 5 damage, but diminish the witches attack roll with 6 for this turn. The bard follows up with vicious mockery, calling her ugly. The battle minder strikes and she is bloodied. My heart starts to race as it is now our never. In the meantime the witch is pleading for mercy and that she would gladely give us the control of the dragon. Since we believed we needed to kill them we ignore her pleads. The wizard cast a fire fountain leaving her with 18 hp (which I caught a glanse of behind the GM screen). So I can end it and uses Sure Shot. First roll a 1. I got to reroll, 10, not enough. Elven accuracy, 6. Action Point, 2. God dammit, so I use my second and last Action Point on a second attack, Spikes of Manticore giving me two shots, I fail the second one, but the first one deals 2 weapon damage plus all the bonuses ending on 28, slaying the witch. The bard finds a letter explaing the detail about the curse. Not having time to stand around since my arrows put the house on fire so we leave after releasing her cats. In total I put two houses on fire.

We return to the dragonborn and ask him about these news. Our action gained us +1 evil point. He on the other hand had taken up drinking with our dwarf friend while a messanger arrived with orders from Lord Neverember to assassinate one noble Roy Siegfried. We head over to the next town, but stop at an inn on the way... an inn filled with dead corpses, all slain by drows, leaving arrows and poison to tell the tale. After searching the house the bard finds some jewellery in the celler, after the dragonborn cleared it out from the spiders. My cousin the battle minder preperead the vodies for the after life and we took turns keeping watch until dawn. The following day we follow a river seperating us from a forest, we reach a sign warning intruders to enter the drow territory belonging to the lord that shot me all that time ago. I saw the drows positioned in the trees so we had a staring cintest until we disappeared.

Arriving at the new town the bard, dragonborn and pixie seperates from the rest of us and head for the inn while we go for the appointed house in the letter mentioning some supplies. We find a box in the house containing... Baldur's Gate uniforms. He want us to commit another false flag operation. Distraught we head over to the magic tower in the town were we check for some items and I find some info on dragonslaying, appearently this Siegfried noble slew a dragon. Tomorrow I need to speak with him. While this goes on the bard has a plan to gather information on our target. A great man only serving the true king, which is the reason Lord Neverember wants to off him. The bard heads over to the noble proposing an idea. The noble goes in hiding, spreading the rumour that the Neverwinter Nine under Lord Neverember killed him of, giving the bard his bloodied clothes as a proof. All so that they can organize a rebellion and the plan is executed immeadiately, meaning there goes my chanse to talk with him and this completely screw over Neverembers plan. The dragonborn on the other hand has a  duel with a Tiefling from a Asmodeus cult, probably the same guys as the first  time. He got around 3 platina for the trouble of one shoting him. Damn. We meet up and due to the bards plan has to leave at once since the town will probably murder us when the rumour will start to spread. And thus our quest to overthrow a tyrant has gone so far that we can't back down. Until then we are seen as his personal mercenary assassin team. The bard is alread planning his big battle, lets see if it work.
