Session 32

Heroes: Ayrin, Azrael, Gondriel, Haurchefant

The Heroes are on the hunt for Torgan Betz, but the con-man surprises them by inviting them to a meeting, where he explains that he had nothing to do with the assassination attempt. He reveals to them that they have a common enemy, the pirate Cain, who is trying to frame him to have him killed, while at the same time getting the Heroes also dead or in trouble. The party believes him, and he points the to the Barre Sinister, a solitary inn situated on a small asteroid in the Tears of Selune. Rumor has it that Cain uses the place as a sort of safe-house for his pirate crew.

When they reach the Barre sinister, Cain immediately spots them, and runs away. While trying to catch the pirate, the Heroes must face several thugs barring their way; this delay allows Cain to get back on his ship, and destroy the Freebooter, the dragonfly the Heroes had travelled with to look more incospicuous. Cain's ship, the Rampage, leaves the asteroid, with the Heroes stranded. Ayrin messages the Gloria to pick them up, and the chase is on!

Among the Tears of Selune, the Gloria spots the Rampage, and the vessels exchanges a few shots of artillery, until the Heroes succeed in boarding Cain's vessel. On the bloodstained deck, they fight against Cain's associates, while the assassin plays a game of cat and mouse, targetting them from a distance with his poisoned crossbow bolts, and hiding the shadows. But it is not long before the Heroes have Cain cornered, and Ayrin pierces his heart with his magical sword. As the rest of the crew surrenders, the Heroes get ready to share the spoils of victory.
