4/19/25 Arrival In Marshlight

General Summary

Session Report: Shadows Over Marshlight – Session 6 Date Played: [Insert Date] Location: Overland route and Marshlight Village Party Members Present:
  Walter (Privigradian, human, tavern-keeper and Martrebanq front)
  Fidget (Hecremine stoat-folk, Syndicate heir)
  Fleetpaw (Awakened fox, monk of the Elderwood)
  Veyrith (Changeling elf, con artist and diviner)
  Russa (Awakened bear, guardian and bloodrager)
  Glimmerbark (Vine leshy, loyal protector and seed of something greater)
  Overview: The party began their journey toward Marshlight, choosing to travel overland through the Elderwood rather than through the Accord tunnel system. The woods were thick with tension, and along the way, they discovered an abandoned Fanged Accord scouting post, left in haste by a recently spooked relief party. Inside, they recovered a fragment of a map and a coded note confirming the Accord’s interest in Veilroot shipments—and hinting at an imminent shipment departure from Marshlight.
  Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, the group executed a split infiltration plan:
  Walter, Veyrith, and Fleetpaw posed as wandering mercenaries entering through the main docks.
  Fidget hid among the group’s belongings to maintain secrecy.
  Russa remained hidden beneath the stilts of the floating village, watching from the shadows.
  Fleetpaw quickly scaled an old tower, scouting out the southern docks and warehouse operations, noting the presence of Martrebanq-marked crates, heightened Accord activity, and a possible caged beast-folk prisoner near the rear.
  Meanwhile, the disguised party members made contact with Meylin Twinefoot, a skittish rat-folk fence and former Visourti affiliate. With Walter's intimidating calm and persuasive charm, the party convinced her to talk.
  Meylin revealed that:
  Sareth Coilblade is personally overseeing the Veilroot refinement process.
  The drug is being tested on mammalian beast-folk, regressing them to a feral state.
  A large shipment is leaving tonight, and at least one prisoner is inside—possibly Fidget’s father.
  Sareth keeps a personal ledger within the warehouse that details shipments, buyers, and experiments.
  The party then regrouped at The Hollow Tankard, a seedy dive bar tucked away in the shadow of the market. There, they compiled their findings and began planning their next move.
  Key Discoveries: Confirmed: Veilroot is being weaponized to strip beast-folk of their sentience.
  Confirmed: A major shipment (including a prisoner) is leaving Marshlight tonight.
  Target Identified: Sareth Coilblade, a serpent-folk lieutenant leading the operation.
  Objective Identified: Sareth’s ledger holds key evidence.
  Potential Ally: Meylin Twinefoot, terrified but potentially useful.
  Contingency Options: Weak stilts under key buildings, side entrance to warehouse, unstable tower vantage.
  Cliffhanger: The session ends with the party hidden in a corner booth of the Hollow Tankard, planning their approach under flickering lamplight. A clock is ticking. The Veilroot shipment leaves tonight, and the fate of Fidget’s father—and many others—hangs in the balance.
