	[[Millain]] received an anonymous tip from the other side of a locked door. The voice asked if she had gone to a particular secluded hallway in the keep and if she knew the word for “traitor” in Orcish. When the PCs followed the hint one of the walls slid apart to reveal a door labelled “[[Adjudicators]] and Officers only”. It was locked and trapped with [[Blue Whinnis]] poison (making them even more suspiscious). When they managed to open it they found that it led to what was obviously a dungeon & torture chamber. There were bundles of clothing and gear on benches by the door, several Orc skeletons hanging from chains on the wall, and obvious implements of torture lying about. There was also a rack and a restraint table that each had a human on it. The players recognized them as members of the noble’s entourages, one from each. They both appeared dead at first, but the one on the rack moved slightly when disturbed and his eyes fluttered awake. He babbled deliriously about being interrogated and asked if the PCs were with [[Silathe]]. The zombie on the table next to him then killed him rather messily.

	<p>~~'''Keep – Session 6'~~'' (500XP each <100XP MVP>): After a protracted battle they managed to kill the remaining Orcs, capture the Orc leader, and revive 3 of the [[Grendalli]]an entourage (including their contact: [[Kalif]]). [[Hussain]] was out of his rooms in secret talks with Bergljot. In the aftermath, the PCs lost all of the Grendallians’ confidential papers to [[Silathe]] and her entourage in what was obviously them taking the opportunity to pick through [[Hussain]]'s notes. The battle outside was over when they went upstairs, but their capture of the Orc leader bore fruit, including his map of what was obviously an assassination attempt. After working for hours helping with the aftermath of the colonist battle (healing and removing bodies while hearing the rumblings of the impending conscript revolt) the party met the returning nobles and gave them basic information about what was happening. A short while later the party was summoned to [[Belfic]]’s office where they saw the nobles with 1 guard each and [[Silathe]] with 4 guards. The pottery keys, the adept’s map, and an unspecified note were on [[Belfic]]’s desk. The keys and the map were shown and the group explained the story behind each in order. [[Hussain]] compared the writing on the map with a letter from his belonging and then attempted to kill [[Silathe]]. He was subdued and knocked unconscious. The party then openly accused [[Silathe]] of being part of the plot. She made veiled threats and storms out in a huff. All through this [[Gathis]] was acting nervous. [[Millain]] checked [[Hussain]] and managed to keep him from dying from a heart attack. The Sybandite noble inspected [[Hussain]]'s note and the map and formally requested an [[Adjudicator]] before leaving. The party then brainstormed over events and solidified their theory.

The PCs heard of these events during their investigation of the murder but dismissed them.

	[[Millain]] received an anonymous tip from the other side of a locked door. The voice asked if she had gone to a particular secluded hallway in the keep and if she knew the word for “traitor” in Orcish. When the PCs followed the hint one of the walls slid apart to reveal a door labelled ~~“Adjudicators~~ and Officers only”. It was locked and trapped with Blue Whinnis poison (making them even more suspiscious). When they managed to open it they found that it led to what was obviously a dungeon & torture chamber. There were bundles of clothing and gear on benches by the door, several Orc skeletons hanging from chains on the wall, and obvious implements of torture lying about. There was also a rack and a restraint table that each had a human on it. The players recognized them as members of the noble’s entourages, one from each. They both appeared dead at first, but the one on the rack moved slightly when disturbed and his eyes fluttered awake. He babbled deliriously about being interrogated and asked if the PCs were with [[Silathe]]. The zombie on the table next to him then killed him rather messily. The skeletons on the wall dropped to the ground.</p>		[[Millain]] received an anonymous tip from the other side of a locked door.

	<p>'''Keep – Session 4''' (450XP each <90XP MVP>): Two skeletons were guarding the door while everything else tried to kill the nearest PC. The characters had to survive a fight with all of the Orc skeletons on the wall as well as the zombie. After the fight a casting of ‘detect secret doors’ revealed the location of a secret room. After finding obvious evidence of a goblin living in the room but no goblin they snagged money and a note in Goblin and hurried away to fix themselves up. They went to [[Belfic]] and updated him on their progress. When they returned to the chamber, the bodies of the two humans and the piles of clothing and gear by the doors were missing. The PCs suspected the goblin had been hiding in a wine-barrel in the secret room. The deaths were officially declared defections but each Noble house blamed each other and the PCs narrowly avoided being present for a rather brutal bar brawl.</p>		<p>'''Keep – Session 4''' (450XP each <90XP MVP>): Two skeletons were guarding the door while everything else tried to kill the nearest PC.

	<p>'''Keep – Session 5''' (Done - 350XP each <70XP MVP>): The PC’s now knew something was up. They suspected the Royal household. They dropped non-royal, non-noble leads. They investigated both Noble houses and the Royal house, achieving excellent success with the Grendallians. They managed to limit their suspects in the guard’s death to 4 of the Royal guards.

The combat-ready colonists were fighting valiantly, but it was obvious they would lose without help. Several of the guards were readying to flood down and help them but [[Thorgeir]] actively prevented any guards from leaving their posts to help. He also forced all of the guards back to their posts even if that put them out of effective range to use bows to help the colonists. He didn’t prevent archers from firing at the Orcs, but few were skilled enough to do so without significant risk of hitting a colonist ([[Tarvin]] hit a child with a stray shot).

	<p>Any new soldiers arriving from their bunks were ordered to combat positions before they had a chance to find out what was going on. A small number of soldiers, mostly conscripts, rushed straight from their bunks to the aid of the camp before they had a chance to hear the orders. Also, [[Alfdis]] and several of her employees charged into the fray. [[Belfic]] was asleep but rushed to the top of the Keep shortly after the alarm went up, arriving very soon after the PCs (but not before the PC’s started to really hate [[Thorgeir]]). [[Belfic]] was swayed by [[Thorgeir]]’s insistence on protocol but it was obvious he wanted to find a way to help within the rules. A PC spotted a force of well-armed and armoured Orcs sneaking in through a side door of ~~the~~ Keep. The PCs told Belfic and were given a choice between helping the colonists or hunting the intruders and they chose the intruders. The hurried down to where the Orcs had entered and heard loud crashing sounds on their way. They arrived at a broken door and Tarvin noticed a broken key sticking out of it. He grabbed it on their way by and they chased the Orcs through several more broken doors and staircases to the [[Grendalli]] entourage’s quarters.

	<p>'''Keep – Session 6''' (500XP each <100XP MVP>): After a protracted battle they managed to kill the remaining Orcs, capture the Orc leader, and revive 3 of the ~~Grendallian~~ entourage (including their contact: [[Kalif]]). [[Hussain]] was out of his rooms in secret talks with Bergljot. In the aftermath, the PCs lost all of the Grendallians’ confidential papers to [[Silathe]] and her entourage in what was obviously them taking the opportunity to pick through [[Hussain]]'s notes.

After working for hours helping with the aftermath of the colonist battle (healing and removing bodies while hearing the rumblings of the impending conscript revolt) the party met the returning nobles and gave them basic information about what was happening. A short while later the party was summoned to [[Belfic]]’s office where they saw the nobles with 1 guard each and [[Silathe]] with 4 guards. The pottery keys, the adept’s map, and an unspecified note were on [[Belfic]]’s desk. The keys and the map were shown and the group explained the story behind each in order. [[Hussain]] compared the writing on the map with a letter from his belonging and then attempted to kill [[Silathe]]. He was subdued and knocked unconscious. The party then openly accused [[Silathe]] of being part of the plot. She made veiled threats and storms out in a huff. All through this [[Gathis]] was acting nervous. [[Millain]] checked [[Hussain]] and managed to keep him from dying from a heart attack. The Sybandite noble inspected [[Hussain]]'s note and the map and formally requested an [[Adjudicator]] before leaving. The party then brainstormed over events and solidified their theory. During this, [[Belfic]] revealed that the other note is the statement of the Adept. He provided evidence of collusion by a resident of the Keep and a lead on his employer, a female Orc cleric of [[Gruumsh]]. The PCs compare [[Silathe]]’s handwriting with the note to the goblin and the non-matching handwriting gave them the idea that [[Silathe]] may be a patsy.
