Session 9

Intro Text

 * We begin our session at the conclusion of the Trial. With a mountain of damning evidence against Hank Scorpio in the murder of Sammuel Carter, the chances of an innocent verdict seemed incredibly slim.
 * Buh, Tim, and Hank lingered in jail as they awaited their fate. With only one more day left in the trial, Ivellios and Keyleth visited their friends in prison. Having not seen each other in weeks (as Ivellios spent some time in jail himself), Hank informed Ivellios of how The Freemen of Tiphor set him up for murder.
 * Already under the thumb of the Baron, and aware of the Baron's suspicions that the Freemen were already trying to assassinate Sammuel, Keyleth and Ivellios decided to plead with the Baron to intervene on their friend's behalf.
 * On the final day of the trial, the mood in the court dramatically shifted. As the magistrate was about to issue her sentence, she was handed a scroll. After taking a moment to read it, she declared the trio "innocent" on all charges.
 * There was a definitely split reaction in the crowd. Half of the court was singing Ivellios' latest song lambasting the recently deceased, while the other half was booing and shouting for the head of Hank.
 * The trio was quickly shuffled out of the court where they met up with Ivellios and Keyleth.
 * What do you do?

Quick recap

 * 1) Ivellous has a quest from the Baron to check up on Lindon. It's been over two weeks since anyone has heard from them.
 * 2) It has been a few days since some of the party was apprehended by the city watch
 * 3) The party was eventually deemed innocent of their crimes and released.
 * 4) Piebeard abandoned the party and presumably set out to help the resistance. Lithopedian has joined him/her... angered by the Baron's treatment towards him.

Start

 * 1) Leaving the courthouse.
 * 2) If the party lingers too long... a messenger from the Baron will arrive to remind the party of their obligations.
 * 3) Hopefully leaving Heldenburg and heading to  Lindon
