A group of adventurers picked up what should have been a milk run job from the city guard. As was becoming more and more common, a small obscure sect had recently opened a chapel in the hearth district, and with the guard busy handling all the usual chaos that is Rook, they put out a notice for some adventures to take a look and see if it was anything that needed to be worried about. Seeing a chance for quick easy money, a group of adventurers accepted the job and headed out to the location of the new congregation.
Upon arriving they witnessed the tail end of a sermon being given by a man in plain grey robes and a featureless white mask. The sermon focused on cleansing people of the weakness of the flesh and banishing illness and pain for a eternal life of purpose. The group noticed that most of the practitioners seemed to be on the poorer end of the spectrum for the hearth district and several appeared to be ill with various maladies. The also noticed that both the priest and the doorman to the inner sanctuary were wearing armor under their robes. At the end of the sermon the priest stepped down from his pulpit and was approached by two of the listeners. After a few seconds of talk all three headed into the back, where the doorman promptly locked the door behind them and took up a rather bored looking position in front of the door.
The group approached the doorman to find out more about what was going on, but as he described the tenets of their faith Crunch suddenly lashed out and grabbed the man by the throat. Kirito did not take this well and began yelling for Crunch to let him go, while Edgar moved in and rendered the guard unconscious with a color spray. Left with an unconscious man on the ground, Kirito started screaming for the guard while Rin tried to silence him. Amaranth and Chris watched the chaos from the rear the entire time. Quickly rooting through the guard's pockets, Crunch retrieved the door key and passed it to Edgar, who went to use it and was promptly shot with a poison dart since he did not deactivate the trap before unlocking the door. Finally able to get the door open, the party found themselves staring down three more guards, swords drawn and rushing to the commotion in the chapel. Edgar and Crunch bottled the guards up from getting out into the chapel while Rin tried to subdue Kirito. Amaranth and Chris retreated to the alley outside to see what would happen with the guards since they were in Rook proper where actual guard patrols existed.
After a brief struggle, Crunch was badly injured but the whistles of the guard were fast approaching. The priest returned and ordered the group to drop their weapons and surrender, which most did, however Edgar decided to begin casting cantrips at the chapel guards after "surrendering" the second time he did so was the last however as the guards weren't about to let a spellcaster run around casting spells freely and quickly brought him to the brink of death. Luckily the guards arrived shortly thereafter and stabilized Edgar while they tried to figure out what the hell was going on. With both sides telling more or less the same story, the guards rounded on the party and escorted them from the premises, marching them off to the guard station for processing.
Meanwhile, Amaranth and Chris hatched a plan to sneak into the chapel, which relied on Chris making a distraction for Amaranth to get in. Quickly scaling the building and into the bell tower, chris found himself in the hallway behind the locked door the guard was posted at. Seeing the coast was clear, he fished a chisel out of his tool kit and his dagger and set to trying to cut a section of the nearby window out, but only succeeded in shattering it, creating the distraction he was sent in to make. running up to the roof and returning to his rope, Chris ran across the front of the building just as the guard arrived at the broken window, all the while amaranth was trying to sneak up to the door to the sleeping room she could see from outside. Tossing a taunt at the guard Chris took off down the street while the guard scrabbled around to run out the door after him, pausing momentarily when he spotted Amaranth in the middle of the chapel. Perplexed he ordered Amaranth out and ran into the street, hurling curses after Chris as he high tailed it away.
Hijinks completed the rogue retreated, their work here down now that they'd added vandalism to the list of crimes for the day. Meanwhile, on the way to the guard station, Rin attempted to release her familiar, to send it to safety, but the guards were wise to spellcasters and scorpions, and upon seeing it did their best to neutralize the threat. The scorpion was able to scuttle away out of reach so the guards settled for incapacitating the wizard it belonged to, which took the form of a vaguely mace sized dent in the back of Rin's skull that she would spend the rest of the night sleeping off. The rest of the group were likewise locked up with the other miscreants with the exception of Kirito, whom everyone agreed had been trying to stop the violence in his own rather violent ways, who was let off with a warning. He was however able to see Rory, the guard who had posted the job, marched in for a royal reaming over the actions of the contractors he'd hired. Unable to call the job done, even if Rory was still in a position to pay, the group was cut loose the next morning, wiser if not richer.
