| Session Summaries: |
On recognizing the dark elf at the door, Feng immediately attacks. The dark elf retailiates, but is quickly defeated, but not before he is able to dominate Feng's weak will and force him to strike down Quarian. Moving carefully through the house, Feng, Quarian, and Molock search each room. At the base of the stairs leading up, there is a light clank as a small metal sphere bounces down the steps.
Diving for cover, the group narrowly avoids the Screamer grenade. Clearing their backs, the group storms the stairs. Feng is held immediately on reach the top, but the others force the female dark elf to cover behind the door. Outnumbered, the dark elf opts for escape, erecting a wall of stone. Checking the other room, the group locates the sage they were sent to get and vacate the house, even as they hear the crash of a window indicating the dark elf female's escape. Even so, Molock tosses a flask of Alchemist's Fire, setting the house ablaze to help cover their escape.
The group moves hastily through the alleyways of the Imperial Enclave attempting to avoid being spotted. On reaching the gate, the druid conjures an thick fog and the three move through quickly. Shouts of alarm at the smoke can already be heard. Already patrols are increasing in the city. Breaking past the fog bank, Molock conjures a second mist and moves into an alleyway, Quarian, Feng, and the sage in tow.
The group's luck does not hold, however, as an Imperial patrol spots the group and gives chase. Feng sends Quarian and Molock ahead to their hideout with the sage, readying his great sword. Quarian and Molock escort the sage to safety. Quarian in poor shape, remains with the sage while Molock rushes back to aid Feng.
Meanwhile, Feng makes his stand, taking one guard down. Unfortunately, the superior numbers surround the half-orc who continues the fight. As two legionnaires take up firing positions behind Feng, he is quickly getting overwhelmed. As Feng is struck with another blaster pulse, Molock comes running back and tramples the two legionnaires. The battle continues and it seems the tide may turn until the sergeant draws a grenade and tosses it at Feng's feet. The weapon erupts in a tangle of razorwire and contracts around Feng, cutting deep. Unable to move without sacrificing his own life, he yells for Molock to run.
No option left, Molock runs, trampling the legionnaires a second time. He attempts to shift back to human form with no luck, instead ending up stuck in hybrid form. Having no other choice, Molock climbs to a roof and takes shelter for the night. Meanwhile, Feng is arrested, disarmed, and imprisoned in the Faust.
Eventually, Quarian and Molock meet and bluff their way out of the city. Unfortunately, the hovercraft, while still camouflaged, is surrounded by two Imperial patrols. Serving as a distraction, Molock allows Quarian to get the sage to the hovercraft and escape. With little time, Molock manages to escape and lose his pursuers.
Quarian returns to the camp and is introduced to Debian, a "mage" of some type, and is asked to return to Hollowfaust to rescue Feng before the Imperials can extract information from the half-orc. A patrol is sent to search for Molock...
