Session Two

by Therial Balhadur

A gust of wind blows through and the wounded moan in pain. Everyone tries to pick up the pieces. We get some congratulations for stopping the mayhem.
 
I'm tasked to meet Imbralym Skoond as the 3 Old Kegs before 4 bells to get to the bottom of this. The Flaming Fist Mercs representative, Ulder Ravengard, wants to talk to us as Wyrms Rock (South East bridge of Wyrm's Crossing). Rose splits off for a few to talk to someone while we continue on to the 3 Old Kegs. Imbralym seems to have a distaste in the lower city, but gives us the rundown of the politics at hand. The council of 4 (currently 3 due to the death) control the Guard and do not allow the The Flaming Fist to have any "work" in the upper city. Duke Abdel's death will cause some instability as he was liked by both the upper and lower cities.
 
Moves for power will be happening. The thieves guild needs a cleaning out etc... Duke Torland Silvershield (who owns this guy) is the force behind this man. Duke Silvershield, the High Priest of the Temple of Dawn, would like to get our aid. We can meet the Duke now if we are interested. Imbralym leads us onward. We go to the High Hall government building. Silvershield has a gear holy symbol, welcomes us. He is kinda an over pious dick, zealot, but is really really against the thieves guild. He thinks they are inside The Flaming Fist, and all sorts of religious groups. Wants us to figure out who is in the guild and how to get in there.
 
Possible agents: Wool Trader, Norold Dlusker; Sorceress, Yssra Brackrel; Low Lantern's Owner, Laraelra Thundreth. He wants proof of their activities.
 
Rose needs to stop by Little Calimshan and we will get some food there. Then we will all continue onward to Wyrm's Crossing. On our way out the gates through Stonyeyes, there is some inspection for a missing shield? The Flaming Fist guard is points out an arrogant prick to the guy acting like a customs agent named Nant Thangol. We must talk to him first, but apparently we get a free pass! Rose makes her meeting while we eat.
 
We are officially introduced to Rilsa Rael, Jewel Emporium owner (Rose's contact here), who wants to stick it to Nantt and help the lower folk by stealing a toll box from him. Stays on post till midnight then gets escorted to his manor near the Blushing Mermaid in Heapside. There is an ambush point on the way and we should be well disguised. Do NOT kill anyone.
 
We plan...
