After finding out that her boss was ‘dead’, Berra had a show of anger that was also a lot of stress relief, and then sent Serala off to spy on the household of the kinfolk of the first assassin, having found out (from Dormal? From Serala?) that Dormal had put his own people on that. She elected not to trust him. Serala came back with a crippled Lunar, to shoot a bowman who was up on the roof, about to shoot her. Berra called on Varanis to make a Rune-spelled Leap across the gulf to Heal the man, and she and Rajar went down by the stairs. While Berra pondered how to get up the building, Rajar shoulder-barged the door, so they went up the stairs, with Berra explaining the need to the horrified house owner. They captured the assassin who had been successfully healed, and Berra paid for the damage on the way out.

The Lunars were questioned, giving up the name of their Lunar Lord, Onjar Eel. He was the man in charge of the operation, and he had several kill teams, and several ways of contacting them – they had a ‘kept in the dark’ structure. There were at least three teams, counting the ones who had been sent in as a disposable screen (probably the first assassin) and a probable fourth team, Onjar’s back-up. There were a couple of places where he could be contacted.

Berra reminded Mellia to go back to the temple, and the session closed with Mellia getting information from a Chief Priestess, expert on Comas and Failed Heroquests.
