We realize the Goliath are still poised to raid the Ten Towns but we don’t need to get involved until they do
We decide to:
* Keep an eye out for the young Goliath named Kapanuk who went missing in the mountains
* Visit Easthaven to give Dannika Greysteel the white dragon bones
* Visit the towns of Targos and Bremen
On the way, we meet a Frost Giant riding a mammoth who thinks we are meat. We run!
Dannika Greysteel meets us outside of Easthaven and we give her a lot of dragon bones. She plans to make potions of cold resistance for the towns who sacrifice warmth. Dannika leaves for Good Mead to make her potions safely.
Targos
* We gain entrance by sharing jokes with the guards at the front gate
* Titanius finds the same symbol threatening Swagger to leave the Ten Towns
* We head to the local Cakey Bakey and stock up
* Sous buys a 68lb knucklehead trout to make luxury seasoned fish and gives the bones to Cloak to scrimshaw
We visit the oldest tavern in all of Ten Towns, The Luskan Arms
* The guard captain yells, “Onyxstone get out of here!” to a woman.
* It's Kenni Onyxstone, a cousin of Cloak!
* She’s scared that Cloak is not real because she thought he was dead.
* She’s been forced to work for the guard captain, Zhentarim of a corrupt family of Tiefling mobsters
* Cloak asks Swagger to help negotiate a way to buy the ownership of Kenni from the crime family
* We learn of Naerth Maxildanarr, the speaker of Targos, who apparently gives the fisherman gold to be popular.
Cloak was born "Shivel Onyxstone" to a royal deep gnome family enslaved to a hive of illithids. He was able to get away when he was very young in the incident where he lost his arm, a complicated and largely untold tale including a hungry underdark lizard, a dead gazer, and him getting caught behind a rock. "Cloak" is unaware that leaving the arm behind gave everyone the belief that he had been devoured by some denizen of the underdark. running from slavery, getting lost, and being woozy from bloodloss, Cloak found himself a far way from home and he spent the next 100 years or so growing up alone in the underdark. He discovered a knack for tinkering and then a path to the surface. In his new surface life, he initially looked for the power to possibly rescue the family he left behind. But now he has mostly lost faith that it will ever happen or that any of his family is still alive. He has latched on to the group of adventurers even while not wanting to get too close. He values their existence but would hate for them to know that. He rebuilt his arm from leftover armor and weapons of the underdark. Mostly made from the leavings or a small drow skirmish team that fell in the underdark and left their belongings behind.
