A note on the dark caller turned out to be written in troll runes - which Murmei, to everyone's surprise, could decipher. Turned out the group had been sent to assassinate Elindra.
While Bartalom lived through the battle, he didn't survive the evening. Someone slit his throat, which wasn't noticed until Valgai noticed a bloodstain on Murmei's robes. Oh yeah, Keller had bumped into him earlier, and caused an INK BLOT on the page. Keller was nowhere to be found, nor was Bartalom's Sunstone ... until we (well, Elindra) tracked Keller down. He was hiding out in a dilapidated tower. Feet were stamped on, because you don't just go around killing wizards, that's not on!

“Chronicler of Things!”
“And Stuff. Don’t forget Stuff!”
Valgai (to Bartalom): “There’s a person, a Thiefmaster …”
Elindra: “Woah, I’ve been upgraded!”
Argostos: “Always have someone else with you. Don’t walk off alone.”
Murmei: “Even to the toilet?”
Argostos: “Yes.” (gives a long and thorough explanation as to why)
Murmei: “But what if I can’t go when someone’s watching me?”
Argostos: (sighs) “Does anyone have a peg for the lad?”
“If we see a Chaos tree, we burn it.”
“Wolverines, bears …”
“Lions … tigers … oh my …”
Lestra: “You might want to keep your voice down. This topic of conversation is not good for your health.”
Murmei: “It can give you a cold? Because it IS very cold here.”
Lestra: “… No. Steel in your back.”
Murmei: “Why would someone want to steal my back?”
Lestra: “I can’t read this language.”
Valgai: “Murmei can.”
Lestra: “The prat?!”
Valgai: “You appear to have been stabbed!”
Murmei: “Noo, surely I would’ve noticed?”
Murmei: “Elindra, are you any good at getting bloodstains out?”
GM: “Random question of the day.”
Murmei: “Not because you’re a lady, but because you seem to have a lot of experience in the … blood area.”
Murmei: “I still think he should go first.”
Elindra: “No, because if he walks into a trap he’ll make a noise like a whining puppy.”
Keller: “I didn’t intend to kill him!”
Player: “How the hell do you NOT intend to slit someone’s throat?”
