Criminal Activity
Sariel and Aym investigate a group of pirate smugglers located in Westgate who had been harassing Harper ships in the Dragonmere. Despite serious complications, the duo manage to eliminate the merfolk captain leading the band.
A band of pirates had been smuggling on behalf of the Zhentarim in the Dragonmere, as well as harassing Harper ships in the region. Due to this, Sariel and Aym were asked to investigate the situation by their superiors in Waterdeep. Traveling by ship to Westgate, Aym used her charm to uncover a meeting between pirates. The two stealthily observed the meeting, and discovered that the pirates had merfolk members that were used to smuggle goods and scout ships.
While they asked around the underwater communities of Westgate, they met a merfolk cleric of Eadro - who took a liking to them and their stories of adventure and romance. He insisted on following them as they investigated the pirates, who had been causing issues in the community. Sariel and Aym learned of an underwater warehouse used to store smuggled goods, but when they arrived, it was a trap. They were subdued, stripped of their equipment, and chained up.
With their merfolk friend nowhere to be found, their captors made sure the two drowned to death, before leaving their bodies as a warning. However, the merfoik cleric, who had been hiding nearby and witnessed the entire altercation, was able to revive them with magic. Determined to take revenge on their would-be murderers, they caught up with the pirates. During the battle, they killed the leader of the pirates, causing the rest to scatter.
Their mission complete, Sariel and Aym bid farewell to their friend and returned to Waterdeep.
