Damien - Human (?) Sorcerer (250 points)
Morgan Merkle - Human Mentalist (311 points)

Day 171 (Cont.):
Amothius 11th, 2526
Weather: Clear
Virgil used some of their dragon-bribing money to buy fire resistance potions, while Sindri repurchased a bunch of his gear that had burned away in the Tower of the Iron Mage. Morgan tried finding somebody else to Research brass dragons using the book Hestius had given him, but failed, and spent the rest of his day figuring out that they wouldn't be instantly attacked, so long as they weren't overly aggressive.
Day 172:
Weather: Clear
The party set out in the morning, and planned to circle around the orc camps surrounding Carda by sticking to the Iron Forest, which was substantially slower but relatively orc-free. Just outside the secret tunnel, though, they overheard an orc patrol that was apparently following tracks. One of them complained that they should attack the city now, but another said they were waiting for the Khaghan Thrag, and now that the dragon had shown up, the battle would only be a couple weeks away.
The party went prone and started crawling away while an orc claimed that he had heard some shamans saying that Thrag was not a demigod, which another orc disagreed with, saying that only a divine being could unite the tribes. The first orc then said that "of course you'd say that, the Broken Swords are a weak tribe, and Agdug is a creator!", which resulted in a fistfight. Thanks to the distractions, the party made it away unnoticed.

GURPS Free Cities Session 55: The Brass Dragon
Damien - Human (?) Sorcerer (250 points)
Morgan Merkle - Human Mentalist (311 points)
Brother Maurice- Human Initiate of Avandra, the goddess of freedom and luck (156 points)
Virgil the Grim - Human Barbarian (298 points)
Player Absent:
Sindri Blackshield - Tiefling Knight (302 points)
Characters:
Damien grew up an orphan in Zerakim, where he was bullied by humans due to his horns and red eyes, and Tieflings due to his lack of a tail. Eventually, he discovered that he had powerful magical abilities, and resolved to track down his parents. He visited an oracle, and (for a nominal fee), they told him that the path to his ancestors went through Carda, and he immediately set off.
Flashback: Day 169:
Damien met the Dragons of Carda mercenaries fighting some goblins on the road to the city. After he displayed his arcane might by frying some with lightning, they offered to help him get into the city if he would assist them with a rescue mission.
Day 170:
Amothius 10th, 2526
Weather: Clear
As the orcs at the camp opened fire, the elf wizard Sabriel put up a cloud of Darkness, blocking line of sight, and the party ran off towards the barn where they had stashed a pair of horses, followed by a troll, 4 fire elementals, the Dragons of Carda mercenaries, and Kayra. The idea was to get Kayra and somebody who could guard her onto the horses, while the rest of them fought the orcs.

GURPS Free Cities Session 54: Crispy-Fried Bard
Locke Landen - Human Bard (294 points)
Morgan Merkle - Human Mentalist (299 points)
Brother Maurice- Human Initiate of Avandra, the goddess of freedom and luck (155 points)
Sindri Blackshield - Tiefling Knight (302 points)
Virgil the Grim - Human Barbarian (298 points)
Day 169 (Cont.):
Amothius 9th, 2526
Weather: Clear
The iron golem finished off the drake with multiple staff-blows from within the darkness, while Morgan took down the last shield guardian and Virgil charged towards the darkness. The golem's staff struck out, hitting Virgil in the neck several times, before it retreated, while Sindri shouted out its location to the others. It then asked them why they were here, and Locke responded that they were looking for Kayra, a good friend of his. Sadly, this answer wasn't quite good enough for the golem to let them go, and it dispelled the Force Wall at the entrance before exiting and putting up another immediately.
Morgan also used Telesend to message Bruno the Crimson regarding their current situation, but would get no response. Now that it was safe, the golem continued with the conversation, and the darkness spell timed out. After a bit of semantics ("You killed my drake!" "Technically, you killed your drake." "Your actions led directly to the death of my drake!"), they struck a deal; if they brought a live adult dragon back for the golem's experiments, it would give them Kayra.
This wasn't to be, however, as Locke tried to Command and then Mind Control the golem, but failed, and suddenly found himself trapped in a Force Wall that was soon filled with Create Fire. After a bit of hesitation (not sure if he should risk annoying the golem further), Maurice tried to dispel it, but ran out of FP before he could succeed. Morgan tried Telesend to ask Hestius if there was anything to do to save Locke, but found out that the Message spell had a substantial travel time.
