Quest Summary:
Hunting a bounty for an upcoming notorious assassin, going by the sobriquet of "Bucket", the party comes to a faraway dilapidated hunting lodge outside of Avalon, after spending a few hours investigating the locale for any news of the assassin and his accomplices, the party infiltrated the lodge by means of a zip line, bypassing a trapped entrance entirely, allowing for its easy disablement, then disarming another. The group manages to spot a swarm of bats and avoid disturbing, coming to the far room where the assassins lay.
Having trapped them in a bottleneck, the fighter Colt led the assault on the room, coming head to head with a summoned fiendish ape, and after a fierce clash, she bested it, allowing the party to enter through. Sir Mute was quick in disabling the enemies and capturing alive, but it would be a close call when the Assassin attempted a death strike on Colt, but she deflected the small halfling with ease, allowing for Raydair to hold him with his divine magic.
The authorities were pleased by the live capture of the assassins, hoping that their interrogation will shed some light into the mysterious Assassins of Avalon.
