[QUOTE="Ranger5, post: 2115813, member: 17981"] [b]The First Adventure – “The Color of Ambition”[/b] The adventure started with the three PCs – Alexi, Thanon, and Nadari – all arriving at the city of Westgate on 8 Marponeth, 1372 after having set out from their Harper training base in the city of Elversult. They made their way to their apartment above the Bent Mermaid tavern and their found a greeting letter from Waevor Talaphin, their Harper contact. The next day, they received their first assignment. They were to meet a woman named Thandie at Imryth Tower after eveningmeal. Upon arriving they were greeted by Lady Imryth, a statuesque woman that had an aura of power around her, as well as Thandie, a young and beautiful woman with a noble demeanor and her companion, a woman called Jamal who had a no-nonsense air about her. Thandie asked the PCs if they could investigate the disappearance of two boys that were important to her. She gave the details of their disappearance as well as a description of the two boys and their names, Nedrind and Fareal. The PCs began their investigation at the Purple Lady where the boys were last seen leaving in the company of a stunning red-haired woman dressed in fine silks. There they learned from their owner of the Purple Lady, Happy Gorender that this same scenario had played out for the last two months in an area of the city called The Shore, though the woman was never the same. Using his tracking skills, Alexi, picked up the trail of the woman and the two boys. The PCs set out immediately. The trail eventually crossed paths with another trail made by the woman alone leading out of the city to the west. The PCs continued following the trail of the three which led them to a non-descript two-storey warehouse down by the docks. There were four guards stationed outside. Nadari was able to ID them as Thayan. The PCs planned their assault and were able to take out the guards fairly quickly and quietly. They then made their way through the warehouse and eventually came upon the Thayan slave leader, Mahzed, and the rest of his guards. After a vicious battle, where Nadari nearly lost her life if it were not for the healing powers of Thanon, the slavers were defeated and the boys rescued. They also found a journal that belonged to Mahzed. Unfortunately it was written in Thayan and none of the PCs could read it. The PCs then split up. Nadari and Thanon took the boys back to Imryth Tower while Alexi followed the other trail out the city. The trail eventually lead Alexi to the compound of the Red Wizards of Thay. Being that it was the middle of the night and he was alone, Alexi decided to wait a little while and see if anything happened. Meanwhile, Thanon and Nadari recounted what happened to Lady Imryth, Thandie, and Jamal. They mentioned the journal which fortunately Lady Imryth could read. She translated the journal and it implicated one of the Red Wizards named Kizzaf as the one behind all the recent abductions. Lady Imryth also told Thanon and Nadari about the compound of the Red Wizards. They set out immediately. Eventually the three PCs were reunited in front of the Red Wizard compound. As they approached they noticed the guards at the front seemed either asleep or incapacitated. After scouting around the compound, the PCs approached the gate which was slightly open. It was then they noticed that the guards were not asleep but dead with no apparent trauma. The PCs continued slowly into the compound without encountering a single person. Everyone they did find was dead, also without trauma. They eventually found themselves in front of the back building of the compound. Nadari heard movement from the back of the building and the PCs decided to wait outside the front to ambush whoever was back there. After a bit of time had passed, with no one exiting the building, the PCs finally examined the rest of the building. There they found everyone else dead and a secret door out the back standing open. A thorough examination of the compound proved no one had lived the attack and that the guards and most of the wizards had been poisoned. The PCs quickly made their way out of there and back to their apartment. A few days later they learned that all the guards and the Red Wizards, save one, had been killed. The only one unaccounted for was a mid level wizard called Kizzaf. Unanswered Questions Why were the boys targeted they way they were since every other abduction took place in The Shore with all the other victims were down on their luck sailors or vagrants? Why would Kizzaf kill all the guards and Red Wizards the way she did so suddenly? [/QUOTE]
