Session 63: Somedays You Need a Good Gnome Kicking
General Summary
The Absolute Majesty III approached the Coast of Gems (on the far Eastern edge of the Gu'us Empire) midday on Greensprout 13, 2597 as the session began. As the party pulled up to the massive pier extending into the sea in Twila, several other ships were docked along with theirs. They gave Advisor Sil'a instructions to have the ship fully repaired, even if it took over a month, and that they would be off running errands for quite a while. With this, Joint Operations LLC disembarked (including Jandar, Zirk, Donkey, and the portal door (attached to Kale's back). They stopped briefly in a potion shop where Tork challenged the halfling shopkeeper to a battle of wits with an indefinite winner. Tork did promise to go gnome kicking with the shop keeper later (and promptly bailed as the party transported via tree outside of wandering eyes) back to Foun.
Back in Foun the party went over to the Court and met up with Elder Je’Son and the rest of the inner court (Lord Ulila, Lady Marinal, Father Alintar, & Yunil). Together they strategized on how to take down Skormp and decided on a multifaceted plot with the party inserting themselves in advance. They would spread a rumor of an attack on WestPort while actually bombing NorthPort, with the fleet to enter through East Port (two months from this date). Additionally they would plan and coordinate the assassination on King Jorip while having Rom Laren "The Raven" spread further discontent and malfeasance in the Squalor. With the plan established, the party briefly met with the undercover agents they would be working with in Skormp then headed back to their standard tree transportation.
The party arrived in the brisk cool of an early spring evening in Skormp by stepping through Bertha, the biggest tree on the Spice Estate in the Ward of Nobility. Cesantar Spice was out when they arrived home and Joanna Spice (Rodan Spice's mother) did not want to see him after getting his father (Roland Spice) thrown in prison. The party then went to the Nest to meet with Rom Laren "The Raven" and get him aboard with their plan. They were successful in bring him aboard by offering him 500,000GP (of the 1M Elder Je’Son had promised for the task) with 10% of a down payment now. The party had not understood the 1M the Elder was referring to was actually in PP, not GP, meaning they party was able to pocket the remaining 950,000GP of the down payment. They stored the remainder in their pocket dimension.
When getting back to the Spice Family estate, Cesantar Spice was home and they decided he would need to play a part as well (without knowing about their allegiances). They got him to agree to have the family throw a Gladiator Games (to the death) which Joint Operations LLC would bankroll to the tune of 300,000GP, twice what Cesantar Spice had estimated for the cost. The party intended this to be a good way to get the Spice Family's name associated with good with both the common folks and the nobility. They would brand it as "Things are bad in the Squalor, the Spice family is unhappy about it".
With the 1st Annual Spice Family Gladiator Games set to go (with an estimated 50,000GP-75,000GP from Noble Incomes + Nobility Betting) the party began to consider bed. Atticus slipped out briefly to make contact with his beggar network where he instructed them to find those who were recently deceased, make it looks like they were murdered in some fashion, roughly once a week, but with an uptick in intensity. As an MO, they should cut out the tongue, and place two coins over the eyes.
With this the session ended and the next session will begin on the morning of GreenSprout 13, 2597.
