5.1st.1.843 A.T.E: Wrongfully Kidnapped!

Not much had happened yesterday, other than Asmodean finding that to use the gun he had, he needed ‘gunpowder’. This ‘gunpowder’ was only available at the northern mining town of Johara. Conveniently, we were already headed to Johara because that is the location of the vampire apparently.

The day started with Tom meeting us at the tavern we were staying at. When Tom chose to meet us, I expected it was to inform us he was ready to leave, but that was not the case. Instead, Tom told us we were not able to leave because one of his contacts in the city, a woman, was kidnapped by the City’s Bishop. He was very reluctant to relinquish any information on the kidnapped victim, even though he wished for us to rescue her. Her name is apparently Janice. In a private discussion with Tom, I was able to coax out of him that Janice was his lover at one point, but they got separated because of Tom’s transfer to Ul-Chardros. We also found that there would be a celebration of the six months that Cogstown has been free in a week. Tom thinks that would be the best time to sneak in as only the elite guards will be guarding the keep.

Both Asmodean and Numa wished to perform their own investigations between now and the festival. I figure that the party would be a great time to mingle with the townsfolk, since everyone will be there.
