Session B17 — Prison Sabotage

Summary

Haldak's kitchen sabotage — accidentally more effective than planned — triggers a prison-wide illness that clears the upper tiers long enough for Othorion and Kavu to access the Warden's office. The warden's ledger confirms prisoner sentencing details and reveals recent execution records. The party now has the intelligence needed to finalise the escape plan.

Key Events

• Haldak attempted a deliberate contamination of the food supply — used spoiled eggs; accidentally contaminated the 3rd level more broadly than intended
• Guards and the Warden became ill from the bad food — the Warden's floor was effectively cleared
• Roland used lay on hands to cure poisoned victims (cover for party's presence in the upper areas)
• Othorion and Kavu entered the Warden's unattended office and searched his quarters
• Found the prisoner ledger — official record of sentencing, prisoner tier assignments, and notes
• Confirmed from ledger: Prisoner 218 (Lireal) sentenced for treason against the kingdom of Manaan
• Confirmed from ledger: Prisoner 13 convicted for embezzlement against Clan Axebreaker and killing the agents who attempted her arrest
• Found evidence of recent executions — the prison has been exercising death sentences; someone has been signing off on them
• Cover identities (Velvetina, Gamsay) held through the chaos

NPCs Encountered

Loot / Discoveries

• The prisoner ledger — full sentencing information; confirms Prisoner 218 and Prisoner 13 details
• Recent execution records — who has been executed and on whose authority
• Confirmation that Prisoner 13's tattoo holds the information the party needs

Threads Opened / Advanced

• Prisoner 13 deal: Party now knows her sentencing and what she wants; tattoo copy plan forming
• Execution records: Who is authorising executions, and is Nezznar on any list?
• The Warden/Vax: His ledger access suggests he has knowledge beyond the prison's official function — what else is he keeping?
