Settling in to town Report
General Summary
Lenon, Sage, and Connor headed off to their new jobs.
Lenon spent the day learning about CROCHET & CLINK and the city, but mainly just watching and waiting. Sage's day was also very active as FRONIUS is a bustling enterprise and she was introduced to the warehouse and docks. Connor was immediately locked into an overtime stretch of guard duty at MALWART'S.
Lenon and Sage getting off, and finding Connor had not headed to the MERWENCH. Heading into Mermaid Alley towards the Inns entrance the two spotted a Half-Orc being accosted by 4 local toughs in the largely unoccupied WATERMAN'S MARKET. Not liking those odds they quickly moved back around the BYWATER HOTEL.
Lennon found his spot up Waterman's Way where he sat to study his quarry in the shadows. Sage moved further down taking Forthonus Way, and heading up Sea God St she found a place to observe one of the ruffians harrowing the lone Half-Orc.
When the 4 toughs made their move arrows flew from both of our heroes. Striking home cleanly in the throat Lennon's target was dead before he realized he'd been hit. Sage put her arrows in the upper back and another of the toughs crumpled to the ground. The Half Orc realizing help was at hand hurled a blaze of multi-colored lights at the ring leader, who fell to the ground incapacitated by the lights. Our last tough fled down spice alley.
The two party members strode forward to meet the person they'd just saved. Stunfisk was a newly arrived to town, and these 4 had followed him up from the docks. The one still incapacitated by his spell was wearing the costuming of those toughs that have taken service with one of the four great houses.
They dragged him to the back door of the Wench, and Falgo the cook checked on the noise and recognizing Lennon and Sage wished them well, but let them know if he was their enemy they shouldn't let him leave the inn alive. They began to question him, but were soon joined by Bracken Landon, he looked over their captive, and gave the same advice but adding if they chose not to follow it they'd have to find other lodgings.
He left them to it, and soon the tough was begging for his life and promising gold, employment, honors, anything he could think of to save himself. They learned he was a low order foot soldier of HOUSE DELLA MATA. The took his few pieces of silver, his pass, and his shirt with a spade embroidered on the cuff. Then they dispatched him, and after wrapping him in the paper a deer had been delivered in earlier took a quick walk down Cyprus Street, where they carried him out and threw him off one of the docks.
They then went back to the Inn and got Stunfisk a room. The next day was spent in exploring the area. They wound up in The Blade. Finding a small tavern on Craft Street right beside THE SECOND DEFENSE. THE SILVER EEL was a cozy little spot where the workers and porters talked openly about the pain of getting through the various gates, and of the cheapness of the various employers they worked for.
