To the Big City

Nov 17th, 2024 Session Notes

General Summary

Day 2 on the road

The party saddles up and rides out expecting to arrive Zurega - Populous made of high elves, and gnomes( middle to upper class), but mostly human. Dressed lower to middle class. some higher-class merchants. There are runes embroidered on some elves' attire. Street Rats are doing street rat things.
Arrarra is the place of knowledge and schools. This city is more commerce and politics.
HOGS HEAD TAVERN is recommended ( horse lodging down the road)
Conversations about wars at the borders from Galuckdin. Mountains and casters are holding them back. Major religions are in the capital city—Mystra, Stormlord, Bahamut, Placagon, etc. The barmaid gives us a pencil town map with chapels and landmarks. Once Jaec and Tor return from stabling the horses, we retire to the two rooms. The night is quiet.
The next morning, we descend to have breakfast. Amnan has a pendant to Shar (the God that is the polar opposite of Mystra). He tells us he was visited by Mystra, who told Taraleth, the guardian of an artifact we need. Taraleth has connections to the Underdark. (Tor remembers having met Taraleth, the dragon babe, on the Isle with Auraca, out in the Ocean. They had asked to retrieve something from the ocean floor. The ship sank but they retrieved the item. ) We walked and talked as we checked on the horses. We are considering selling the horses as we discussed sailing to the Isle.
BUT FIRST - To the Castle Erynn leads the way to the castle to get information on Kelbore (Human, Ranger). The Guard is FIRM on
PUBLIC Library Ivarr is a researcher who is studying ancient eras of the 1500's. He shares: Species Homelands

• Wood elves - Amshack
• High Elves - Here
• Dark Dwarves - Underworld
• Teiflings and Humans - Crelnadon

Moving On.

We decide to travel to Adletia, Amsheck through Jaec's Tree System. Unfortunately, the Amshek Military forces ( 20 ) see us enter and race towards us. We RUN, taking flight. Jaec transforms and picks up Megera and Erryn, Tor transforms and grabs Amnun, and Debetta flies. Heading to the city Errynn takes an arrow to the knee. Below, a well-dressed woman, her robes detailed with dragons, waves urgently to us.
When we land she desperately urges us inside to hide. The house is well decorated. She hides us behind the fireplace. Stealthing into silence we hide in the small room behind the fireplace. We hear angry words from the other side but we can't make out the words. After 20 minutes she lets us out and introduces herself as Mardehien, a cleric of Bahamet. Over her door is the runic spell for Hallow.
She lets us know: We are enemies of the Crown - Jaec, Tor, Maria, and Megara ( 1.000 gold wanted alive), AND CASTELLOR (100,000 g reward - dead or alive)  Prince is now a supporter of Vecna we have supporters willing to offer aid. ( Followers of Bahamut )
We spend the night while she hires us a boat. Amnun goes to find a magic shop that has taken major damage and is abandoned.  Villagers won't talk about it.  Back at the house, Mardehien tells the story of the shop - 6 months ago the owner, Falco, was stolen in the night and the shop was destroyed.
At 2 am 20 armored guards and 2 well-dressed men demand entrance.  She denies them and they can't cross the threshold.  Knowing they will be there in the morning the team decides to attack now and have Megera "fart cloud" us to the coast.  

Combat

Amnun Enlarges and attempts to grapple the wizard.  Unfortunately, he does not succeed but the entire 20 plus 2 attack.  The dice are not in our favor until the Dwarf slaughters the 2 Mages and intimidates the f out of the armor!  He sends them home in their underwear.  Debetta takes some of the tabards from the Kingdom guards.  Jaec polymorphs into an Owl as the rest of the party walks out of town towards the coast.  There the Cleric has a safe house for us. Once Jaec gets back, Megera casts her cloud form and whisks us there.
