A Trager Among Us

Upon failing to come up with a plan to free Calla, the group decided to meet back up with Trager at the Wandering Oak Tavern, where he said he would be with some friends in the city. The group was asked to turn in their weapons, which they did reluctantly, and were then pointed to a basement room where there was an oval table with four people and Trager. As the group, cautiously, stood around the room Trager informed them they were under arrested for the murder of Flarence Koss.

In the stress of the ambush the group decided to defend themselves as Trager attempted to case calm emotions on them. Johann was the first to act with a chaos bolt that jumped around the room to several of the combatants, and with a second chaos bolt he was able to take out two of the soldiers before needing to hide under the table to not die. Tia is able to take out another one of the soldiers and the other goes down eventually. And finally Aratak is able to land a blow that renders Trager unconscious before the group takes much damage themselves.

After the final blows are dealt, Calla arrives from her prison break, and introduces the group to Thella. Thella distracts the guard and barkeeper above, while the group escapes out of the back and steals a horse drawn carriage on their way out. At the behest of Thella, who met back up with the group as they were working their way out of the city, the group heads to The Nightly.

After some scooping of the place, the group gets a few rooms to decide what to do with their new traitor friend.

Once safely in the rooms, the group bound Trager to a chair and asked him for information about himself and his position in the Maklean Armada. Trager revealed that he was part of the sprout division, and the group has a debate with him about each sides morality. Some of the group say that Trager might be of assistance to them as someone who would therefore know their story and what they were actually like, while others felt he was a danger to the group if he was let go. While the rest of the group went to debate in another room, Guy was left with Trager. Alone with Trager, guy cast infestation on Trager and tells him how he could kill Trager right now. Successfully intimidating Trager, Trager reveals to Guy what his group's purpose was in Denall, which was to prepare for an incoming army.

With the information from Guy and the debate mostly settled the group decided to make a deal with their new temporary employers, Ethelian and Doreah, to hand off the Maklean spy in exchange for some items.
