Session 30: Scallywags: The Scion Port, Fort: The Luck Envoy of Kurtalmak and the Night Dance of Drunken Dragons

General Summary

It is the 17th of Fall Feather, and they are in the Scion Fort, laying anchor for trade and business with these orcish nobles. By brining in the orc prisoners from the first two ships, and Thej and his crew of the Razor too, they were able to lure, accidently, the shark people into the cannon fire of the Scion Fort. This allowed for safety of these smaller vessels, and perhaps an end to part of the alliance with the Sahuagin and the Scions. 
Prior to anchoring completely, and disembarking from the Call, Rognur investigates the bioluminescence coming from Ilknar, and he finds little change. Additionally, Rognur meets with Brimstone afterwards. The surgeon reveals his quest for his wife, who is in the Scion lands. 
Nethpione also meets with the captain to inform her need to travel ashore. She looks for an answer, maybe in Ilknar. Once in the Port of the Scion Fort, the group splits to find certain knowledge and items. Aikhon finds Rufus' howl in the wall tavern, the Bloody Bowel, and he learns of a monthly shipment of goods from the fort to the capital, which could be something he could manipulate to gain advantage in the small city in but these few hours before they depart. Additionally, Brimstone is able to find stories of the storm giant lords, and of the gain of a red-skinned orc lady, one to inherit the throne Auna has forsaken, that to be the next Matriarch of her people, the orc Scions of Jesharaum. He meets Surin, the orc tavern-master of the Sovereign Slayer. 
In town, Skiff also buys some ammunition for Queen Bess, and Nethpione gets a white bunny rabbit tattoo while Ilknar gets a knotted-rope insignia around his right wrist, slowing activating more of his bioluminescence. 
Once ready, the group heads into the inner part of the Scion Fort, up a zig and zaggy trail to a mound, a mountain of sorts, and upon meeting and convincing, on Skiff's part (through stealth and adroit koboldness). 
Once inside, they meet Auna's sister, Pharouh, and she is the test for them to really gain access to the Matriarch, the leader of the Scions. Fortunately, through guile, persuasion, and deception, the group is able to push the scions in to a party, a short festival. E'krae uses this as opportunity to meet with his contact about his heist. Skiff is able to gamble with one of the Elite Guardians, and Nethpione distracts the wary orcish sorcerer, just long enough for the others to finish this gambling game, and to arrange the shipment to arrive two days early, to arrange a meeting with her Mother the Matriarch of the Scions. She will fly and meet with them.
