The 3rd of Serrum, 1390 of the Storm Era, The Heights of Weatherdeep, The Grand Artificers Manor
The party talked with Reginall one more time and Dink requested an audience with Grand Artificer, Reginall told him to return the next day at 10 in the morning and he would get an audience with the Grand Artificer. Dink invited the party to stay at his house for the evening and the party then returned to town and entered into Dink’s house. On their way out they saw Anton who was excited to see them calling them heroes. Ghesh encouraged Anton as a guard and warrior and blessed him in the name of Ava. The party ate and rested curious to see what the next day would bring.
The 4th of Serrum, 1390 of the Storm Era, The Heights of Weatherdeep, Dink Valeran’s House
The next morning the party awoke and prepared for the day. At the appointed hour the party returned to the Grand Artificers house. The party arrived and was escorted into the Grand Artificer’s office where he was hard at work behind his desk. Dink entered and spoke with the Grand Artificer about how he was an artificer in training and had been following the Grand Artificer’s work.
At that time a knock came from the door and Reginall went to the door to see who was there. The party questioned the Grand Artificer about why goblins would want to steal glowstone, and also what it was used for. Interrupting their conversation was the Imperial Herald there to summon the party to meet with her Imperial Highness Empress Taliah.
The party got into a cart that was brought to bring them and they were carried through the city to the Imperial Palace. Along the way the people of Weatherdeep came out lining the streets and were cheering and shouting their appreciation for the party. When the party reaches the Imperial Palace they are ushered through the Palace and are taken to the throne room where the Empress awaits. In the throne room are also all of the royal guards and a wizard dressed in blue robes, his name was Fallstaff.
The Empress thanked the party for their help in the attack of the Elementals during the recent storm. She dubbed the party the “Heroes of Weatherdeep” and asked them if they would work for her. The party agreed and the Empress began to explain that to the east is a village called Marfallow that used to be a large farming community similar in size to Oxpoint. A while back Marfallow was hit by a storm and abandoned due to the damage caused. After a while the survivors of Marfallow decided to return to the village to rebuild. After that there wasn’t any communication from Marfallow, nor any shipped merchandise. After a while concerned people went to Marfallow but they never returned. Eventually the Empress heard about it and sent a detachment of soldiers to find out what was going on, but they never returned. Now the Empress was calling upon the party’s unique abilities and asked them to go and find out what was going on at Marfallow. The party agreed and were excused from the throne room.
On their way out the party saw Fallstaf and began to speak with him about a few things. They asked some questions about Marfallow and Moloch asked a specific question about how to attack Elementals with his fists as a monk. Fallstaff told Moloch that he needed to have magical attacks and he knew of magical tattoos that would make his attacks magical along with other abilities. Fallstaff told Moloch where the tattoo artist shop was and to use his name and he would get good service. The party also took note of a special amulet around Fallstaff’s neck that had a strange symbol on it.
Ghesh and Moloch went to the temple to meet with the leader of Ghesh’s order. Ghesh told his leader what they had experienced with the Rue Stone. Ghesh’s leader tasked him with finding the Rue Stone with any means possible. Before leaving Ghesh’s leader gave him a magical weapon to aid him in his journey.
Meanwhile in town Vex and Milo went to a weaponsmith shop and Vex commissioned the building of a rapier and scimitar. He paid for them then they went in search of spell components for Milo. After they found these things they returned to Dink’s house where Dink was up working on something in his workshop.
After visiting the temple, Ghesh and Moloch went to the magic shop that Fallstaff had recommended and Moloch found the cost of the magical tattoos that would give him magical attacks and some defense abilities. Moloch needed some funds to get the tattoos so they returned to Dink’s house.
At Dink’s house the party ate and drank and Moloch told the party what he would need to purchase the tattoos in gold. The amount was much more than the party had on them so the party decided to do odd jobs the next day to help pay for Moloch’s tattoos. Then the party retired for the evening.
