I can't give you a traditional, in character luana update. caaause theres no way she could of journaled today. but heres what happened:
We chased a mage into the sewer. He craftily lead us astray from the door tunnel he took, and to see if i could find him i did an arcane check. A cold, eerie feeling as though being watched. It chilled me to the bone, and i frantically relayed this info to the rest of the party through the handy dandy telepathic armadillo (don't question it). When we went back to the door and went in, the feeling was gone. We cracked into the lower jail of a tavern, terrifying a poor bar wench. Apparently the bandit we had kept from the last time was Tom, and mage friend was Marius... however, when we went up into the tavern, and the same wench who confirmed she could ID Marius, couldn't find him..
we were dealing with a shape shifter. There were only 3 arcane users i could find, and i felt must suspicious of the cloaked war mage. However, soon there after, the other two began to leave with their group. During their shuffle out, the ranger of the group bolted, as the REAL ranger was found gagged in the bathroom. I officially learned the shifters signature.
Using the insulted ranger to our advantage, he tracked the shifter, luana and the warforge circling around trying to entice him into the center. the ranger runs out of luck at the last moment, as he went through a few transformations all at once. Once everyone is leaving, i check to see if that signature is here, but its like a spell i don't know yet. i recognize it, but it just wont form for me. I know he's here, just not where. The ranger gives us the info that likely this is a shape shifting rogue, with a special move where he disappears when people are close. . .
As we decide to wait til morning to find him, we come across mcKenzie, the princess from the castle. We talk to her and let her know of the danger of an assassin.. and on a suspicion i cast another arcane check. and that same eerie chill falls on me
mcKenzie is the transformed assassin
He knows what she looked like a couple days ago, he knows .. quite a bit about her. this is terrifying.
I freeze, but relay the knowledge through Steve, the telepathic armadillo. We let ourselves part, not knowing what to do.. but at the last moment decide to blow her cover, and all rush after her towards the castle doors
and thats where we left off. OMG. i have no idea how the shape shifter will react yet, or what will happen. OMG
luana,
