Episode 47 - Shit Show

Episode Description
The Crew team up with Eric to bust a dwarf baron who gets really handy and in the middle of the mission, things get shitty.

Summary
The episode begins with the crew and Eric planning how to rescue Ardrial from Iverson's compound. Eric tells them the best way in is probably via underground sewer tunnels. Hopefully they will lead to servant hallways, which aren't patrolled by guards. They enter the sewers through a cave entrance, dodging feces. Theran scouts ahead and hears two guards. He and Eric silently take them out. Eric finds a door hidden behind a hologram, and Theran hacks it. It leads into a broom closet. A guard is standing just outside, facing away from them. Theran dispatches him silently, and Martle hides the body in the closet. They go up the stairs and are surprised by a dragonborn guard. Eric stabs him in the neck as Theran processes, and Z takes his shirt to wear as a dress. Martle tries to stuff the body in a chest, but it makes some noise and his legs stick out. Theran shoots the next guard through the head, pinning him to the wall, so they arrange him so he looks like he's just standing there. They reach the harem. Zarial and Rell go to make a noisy distraction on the other side of the building. Before they do so, Martle hears the sound of a girl being assaulted and tries to smash the door in. She fails spectacularly, but Eric opens it using the unlocked doorknob. They see women in revealing outfits chained to benches and a dwarf on a throne at the far end of the room, pawing at a heretic elf: Ardrial. Martle casts Hold Person, and Eric arrests him. Martle pulls Ardrial aside, and Theran breaks the chains on the rest of the prisoners.

Meanwhile, Zarial hacks the door to the room on the other side of the building, finding a treasure vault. Zarial zeroes in on an ancient suit of armor as the most expensive thing, though it's in a case with a sensor on it. Zarial puts explosives in the two windows and a smoke bomb by the door, then takes some gold bars at Rell's suggestion, as well as the helmet from the suit of armor. They leave the room and Zarial sets off the bombs all at once.

Hearing the explosion and alarms, the rest of the party moves out, and they all make their way back through the sewers. They hand Iverson off to the jail and take Ardrial back to the tavern. Theran gets Edmund's contact info and gives Ardrial a dagger. Edmund gives Theran a case of wine, and the crew and Eric head out.
