Session 4

I awake hanging over a cliff tied to a rope. Next to me is a plain-looking dwarf with a fluffy beard with slightly combed back hair. The dwarf informs me we have been taken by the great worm tribe and they plan to sacrifice us at midnight which is in 3 hours. He introduces himself to me as Marthumar aka the god we're looking for. He tells me he was trying to avoid society. I wiggle out of my restraints and make my way over to a tent where I can see a barbarian sleeping and holding my lute. I execute him in his sleep after crawling over to his tent and quickly kill his friend next to him. I grab my things and a songbird belonging to Marthamur. I free Marthamur and return his songbird to him. Ravi makes us invisible with his familiar and we leave the camp. Marthumar accepts the invitation and tells us that he knows the location of the next god. The goddess of misfortune Beshaba is in Luskan. Marthumar heads off on his pet roc and we head to Luskan. We get to Luskan and I take the party to the one-eyed jaxs. Selena tells me she hasn't asked Jarlaxle about the book yet but he's in Luskan. I leave to find him. I get to the entrance to Jarlaxles hideout and see a bunch of thugs try to break in. As they are about to break open the door it magically opens. I enter stealthily behind them and as they enter jarlaxles bedroom we are all blinded as the walls show the horizon. Jarlaxle comes down and quickly dispatches them. We catch up I tell him what has happened and he informs me that my brother was seen giving the tax book to someone wearing a hood. Jarlaxle gives me a mission to find a dead orphan that has risen from the dead. The orphans' name was Halistra Luskan he tells me to start with her grave and the orphanage. Me and Jarlaxle head over to the one-eyed jax and go with the party and Selena into a back room with a round table. She places the demon book on the table and states that we can begin the ritual. The party introduces itself to Jarlaxle. The ritual begins we hold hands and after some chanting our vision goes dim. We see a Quasit in a cave next to a Balgura. It says that their lords are gone. Two other demons say the blood war is on hold. A human and a demon are talking about the caravan we found. Jarlaxle says that the men in his room were questioning him about his bond and trying to buy it. The demons said a word he couldn't understand. The human talking to the demon says he has his best man looking for his caravan. We go to the grave and find a set of muddy foot prints. The tracks are 1 and a half weeks old and lead us to the southern edge of the city where there is a circus. Lez almost gets grabbed and runs after the man who tried to grab him. We chase him into a house around the corner. The cloaked man says we didnt accept the invitation and cuts of his hand and throws it at us. He tells me that my brother is going to get killed in 18 seconds by the bell in the winter palace. We run lez gets their first and frees him saving his life. We have a tense reunion he tells me the man he gave the book to threatened his life and thats why he returned it. He says captain dockread made the copy and I should ask him if I want to know more. We head back to the footprints and head to the circus. We see a dwarf drag a girl by the ears a girl that matches the description of the girl were looking for. Banyl the dwarf says the girl poisoned the clown, and cut the ropes of the acrobats. I notice that she did do it when I insight check her. The dwarf mentions that misfortune followed after she appeared. We immediately figure its Beshaba. She tells us that she knows where Malor and the Mask are. Malor is in the trollbark forest. The mask is in Mithdranor.
