Session 2
General Summary
The party awoke from a night's rest in the cave, without incident in the night. After discussing their approach, Captain Motinay took Grimnir, Vinny, and Phenex to go and gather support from some of the other captains in town in moving against the Baroness.
The remaining members of the party headed to the Keelhall to confront the Baroness. Joey went ahead to scout, using his feline agility to scale the outside of the building and scoping out the balcony to the rear, where he discovered a harpy was perched, lying in wait of something. Managing to stay undetected, Joey headed back to the rest of the party and informed them of the harpy's presence. The party then entered the main door of the Keelhall, approaching the Baroness and conversing with her. The party confronted the Baroness about her collusion with the dread pirates, at which point she offered them a sum of money to leave town and never return, but the party were able to deduce that it was an empty offer.
The party engaged the Baroness in combat, at which point the Baroness's guise dropped, revealing her true form of a harpy matriarch. The other harpy entered the fray, and combat ensued. Malice melted the Baroness's face with a firebolt, and Gerard took care of the other harpy.
After defeating the Baroness, the party looted the Keelhall, obtaining a map of the world, a large sum of gold, the Baroness's sword, and a letter addressed to the Baroness from a Lorin, vaguely outlining a plot in which the Baroness was involved.
After departing the Keelhall, the party met up with Captain Motinay, who informed the party that there would be a snap election to appoint the Baroness's successor, and that he was one of the primary candidates. With the election due to take place the next day, the party found themselves with some downtime. They headed around doing a bit of shopping in town, including exploring the local market, where Joey met a fellow tabaxi who was selling the traditional street food of Maz Ticca, twice-baked cockatrice wings. They also explored some of the other establishments of the town, heading over to the Hempen Jig Dance Hall, and eventually making their way back to the Briny Tide to rest.
The next day, the party headed to the market square to vote in the election, with Joey being accosted by the captain of the local guard on the way. The party cast their lot in for Captain Motinay, then went to kill some more time in the town while waiting for the results of the election. As they did so, they heard a scream coming from the direction of Crack Jenny's. They rushed to investigate, and followed a trail of evidence to the Provost Prison, where one of the girls from Crack Jenny's had been taken by the captain of the guard. The party fought and killed the captain, releasing the girl and bringing her safely back to Crack Jenny's.
The party then headed to the Briny Tide, where they discovered that Captain Motinay was celebrating his success in the election. With the new Baron as an ally, the party went to bed, due to set off on a voyage to Pigidelphia in the morning...
