4708 Neth 25th Korvosa

AM after sunrise:
The pcs head to the All the World's Meats as per Cressida's directions. On the way a mentally deranged prophet of Pharasma latches onto Brunt as the "Chosen One" and Brunt converts him to the worship of Torag. A few minutes later two otyughs escape the sewers and attack the pcs. The deranged prophet throws his body into the smaller otyugh's mouth to save Brunt. The two aberrations are quickly slain.


Late AM:
The pcs arrive at All the World's Meats and speak with two guards. Andrian uses the fear of the Hellknights go get the guards to fetch Verik Vancaskerkin. After a lengthy conversation Riley manages to convince Verik to turn himself in. The pcs swear to travel to Riddleport and give Verik's father news of Orik and Verik himself.

Early PM:
With the Cowhammer Boys serving as an escort, the pcs deliver Verik to Cressida Kroft. Andrian convinces Cressida to make "All the World's Meats" as a guard outpost run by the 4 remaining guards assisted by the Cowhammer Boys. The pcs run and catch up with the Cowhammer Boys and give them the good news.

AM sunrise:
The Hellknights are let into the city.


Late AM:
The Hellknights immediately and brutally begin to move the city towards some semblance of order.

Late PM prior to nightfall:
Rioting continues but most mobs disperse as soon as they see Hellknights. Those drunk or stupid enough to openly defy the Hellknights are cut down without mercy.


Late PM after nightfall:
After the Hellknights retire to their camp outside the city to sleep the rioting resumes. Cressida tells the pcs that a Korvosan Guard captain by the name of Verik Vancaskerkin has gone AWOL and taken over a butcher shop known as "All the World's Meats". Verik is treating that corner of the city as his personal fiefdom. Cressida asks the pcs to bring Vancaskerkin to her alive. The pcs are asked to wait until sunrise to set off.

Just after midnight:
The pcs leave Cressida Kroft and head back to Zellara's house. On the way they find that the unrest in Korvosa is going and is heading towards a full riot.

Very early AM:
Andrian and the other pcs are awoken by a drunken brawl. Andrian saves a minor noble from a severe beating but one commoner is slain accidentally. Andrian and Carufinwe decide to scout the city at night and find out what is going on. They discover that the city is sliding towards anarchy because the majority of the populace does not want Ileosa to be queen. Riots and flames are common throughout the city.

Early AM sunrise:
Carufinwe and Andrian return and tell the others what is going on in the city and then turn in for some needed sleep. A short time later Bruntalmar and Riley begin patrolling the main street near Zellara's house.

Later AM:
Angry racist mobs form and harrass the two demi-humans and eventually a large torch weilding mob overruns the two and sets fire to Zellar's house. The pcs flee to the Korvosan Guard barracks. Town crier announce martial law and that the Hellknights are being called in to restore order.
