- New cell phone policy
- High school and college diplomas and graduations
- Wizard AC oopsie
- FST wake up to a loud banging on the door a few mornings later
- "Open the door in the name of the King!" S - "How do I know you're from the king? Anyone can say that."
- There are five guards in royal armor demanding they attend them to the castle immediately.
- S demands 5 minutes for them to clean up. They are unwilling. S is not very intimidating.
- T's hair is barely tamed, but the guards carry their backpacks despite S's badgering and complaints and not-so veiled threats.
- There are ten more guards waiting on the sidewalk. S is extremely flattered.
- FST are led to a side door that leads to an office or a small foyer where all the guards take up posts around the room, and asks them to leave their armor and weapons on a table.
- T does get to keep her (glowing) holy symbol and her necklace, but all else that she is left her thin shift that she wears under her armor
- S manages to conceal her Wand of Web in a sleeve, but she loses her staff.
- F tries to conceal a dagger in her boot, but she does not succeed. She also gets to keep her necklace.
- Once disrobed, they are led to a cell and locked in.
- Tyron Hiram is in the cell as well. (The merchant who gave F her necklace.)
- He says he is looking "for the same thing you're (FST) look for".
- F breaks T's holy symbol trying to pick the lock, but luckily S manages to get the pin out of the lock again, so T can Mend it.
- S recommends next time they try T's hair pin, but T doesn't want that broken either because it was a present from her sister. There is big pouting.
- T does a Send to the Captain of the Guard, Laticia Guiles, "Madam Guiles, Thessalie Groundswallow contacting from the dungeons. Why are we locked up? We haven't gotten those dragons yet. You have 25 words to respond."
- The response is, "The king is keeping dangerous company. You have or know something he wants. You seem like good people, but I doubt I can help you."
- S takes a poll to see who wants to try to escape again, and the vote is unanimous for.
- T is taken (by her lonesome) up the stairs into an interrogation room. There is a fireplace with hot pokers warming and a wooden chair with restraints (that wouldn't be tight enough to use on T because she's so tiny).
- The guard forces T to sit in the chair, but doesn't bother restraining her.
- T immediately pops up and uses her boots on her hands to pull the hot pokers out of the fire.
- T spills all the beans, but she can't remember any of the details or names. She does not dissemble.
- Back at the cell she tells S, "I didn't remember most of the things, but I pointed at a map. They had hot pokers."
- F immediately borrows the hair pin and pops the door's lock, then stealths to the end of the hall away from the guards to scout.
- The hallways eventually branches to a T, but further exploration proves that the only way out is past the guards.
- Lellzutho is now He Who Must Not Be Named.
- Tyron is a Keeper. Talathon is a Keeper gone awry.
- FST spend all afternoon planning how they can break out of the dungeon.
- Dinner is finally brought, while FST are still planning how to break out. It is stale bread and a carafe of water to share. T conjures some granola bars.
- They continue planning and bickering until T starts nodding off. FST go to literal and figurative sleep.
- T is awakened by the cell block's door opening. A long shadow is coming up the dimly lit hallway and getting shorter and shorter as it approaches their cell. The shadow has one long arm that ends in a point and gnarled claw at the end of the other arm.
- T sits up as the creature stops in front of their cell door. It is not much taller than Thess, has a mop of curly brown hair, and the lower half of it's face looks swollen under dark leathery skin.
- T uncovers her glowing holy symbol and in its light she looks into the creatures eyes, and recognizes them as Eldon's and he looks terrified.
- He gives this speech about thanking her for bring it more pieces of itself.
- T says "I'm going to murder you, destroy all the pieces of you that exist, and then Resurrect my brother."
- He Who Shall Not Be Named says, "I'd like to see you try."
- 2,700XP ea., 43,135XP ea.
