Akuban Knights: Episode 18

Saturday, 3rd August, 1511
Assassination of Lord Gildarien in Sairo has taken place. Maya returns to the family who are in the Hakuna Matata tavern. Bud is surprised the job is done, since Maya just told him she would scout it out.

The Akuban Knights decide to leave Sairo that day, and they head out south back towards Pike's Point.

Tuesday, 6th August, 1511
The Akuban Knights encounter some Gil'daaren solders, members of the Western Block. Their water barrel has broken and they want to buy some water from the party. Budariousz gifts half a barrel of water to the solders, and gives a speech about how even in a civil war, they should all remember they are all Akuban.

Friday, 9th August, 1511
The Akuban Knights reach Pike's Point. The guards on the gate let them go in after they identify themselves. The party go to the town hall to report in to Soladad Abodad, with Maya taking point. In the office with Soladad Abodad is Yassi. Yassi was discovered in Yetel, but was deemed useful to the Eastern Block, so they sent her to Pike's Point so she can do a mission.

Soladad Abodad says they want Yassi to go on a diplomatic mission to Wikkthronrarenta, the Capital of Drekis. The fact that Akuba failed to deliver the weapons to Mistrya and that the Scoria is helping the Mistryan in the war as made the Eastern Block concerned that Mistyra will attack Akuba in reprisal. They want to contact with Drekis and get aid. Soladad Abodad wants the Akuban Knights to escort Yassi on this mission. The Akuban Knights agree publically, but only to get Yassi away from Soladad Abodad.

The party, keeping the pretence of being Mercenaries, ask for payment for their previous mission (144 gold) and the next one (25 gold). They are taken to their old estate in Pike's Point. They are told they can loot valuables to cover their costs. Budarious want to take his childhood hobby horse, and Maya reluctantly agrees. Maya finds a stash of poisons she hid in her old bedroom. Sara goes though all the rooms touching items to pick up old good memories before completing her set of gold rings on her hand.

The Akuban Knights take with Yassi to a tavern called "The Krack-Inn".
