I had a strong group of six. Tarsim Cordinger Clockwork wizard 3 Order Cleric 1. Sir Oliver Untgat Barbarian 5. Toz twilight cleric 1 shadow monk 4. Jundis Jonstar Knowledge Cleric 1, Draconic sorcerer 2, Fiend warlock 2. Gaisma “Guys Ma” moon druid 4 life cleric 1. Poppy Echo knight 5.
The alert sirens are alerting. Verin Thelyss orders the gate open and drafts the pcs into a ready reaction force. Team Ayo runs to cover the infirmary (how they know where it is is not explained.) About three blocks down they see five monsters. Demons more full of hungry mouths and evil intentions than my family reunion. As the pcs charge trying to catch up with Verin, from out one the side streets an older teen pops out. A commoner.
Peter Knight, “Go Bread Hood. Go Bread Hood. Go. Yea Team Bread Hood. Kick in the knee.” He has a loud screeching piercing spine melding high pitch voice. With is Kryn Dynasty pom-poms he starts cheering the group up. Poppy’s eyes pop out. Sir Oliver’s eye pop out. Gaisma’s eyes pop out. And they all look strangely at the DM who is doing cheers and getting strange looks for the rest of FLGS.
Poppy, “Oh my rival. But I didn’t put anything about bread in his backstory. I.”
DM, “I improved on it. And everyone gets disadvantage while he cheering.”
Jundis, “Just kill him and let the demons eat him.” Sir Oliver face palms.
Sir Oliver laughing, “Um. Hello. Laws against assault. Murder. And head cop Vinnie what ever half a block ahead of us. It is another Waterdeep law Catch-22.”
The rest of the battle is a combination of the group fighting Gibbering Mouthers and trying to silence the kid. A Silence spell, five swings from multiple pcs, and a total of ONLY 10 hp of damage puts the kid down. And the monsters had fun chewing on the monk. Verin is impress with the pcs combat abilities and not killing the kid.
Verin, “Hm. He a 123 pound weakly. High pitch voice. But he has heart. If it wasn’t for the voice, he could make a good drill sergeant. And he be out my and our hair.”
30 seconds later. Tarsim produces forged papers of Peter Knight signing up for six years duty to the Aurora Watch.
The group gathers some walking wounded and head toward the infirmary. The dead are being taken to the crematorium. Team Ayo is helping with the wounded. Ayo flirts back with Poppy and both teams made it out with little damage. Toz, Gaisma, and Jundis help with some spell casting. Toz does meet Esily a noble who hates Sir Oliver about something to do with a racing pig during his grand father’s time. Jundis is stopped by a drow called Naevyn Tasitha who asks him to place a trinket at the Wall of the Unforgotten.
Jundis, “Do yourself kid. CURE LIGHT WOUNDS.”
DM, “WELL THERE GOES THAT PLOT POINT.” Tosses the page into the 55 Gallon Trash can.
As they are leaving, they get a one-night ticket for basic food and lodging for The Ready Room from Bautha Dyrr a drow priestess in her first hundred.
The group hangs outside the Aurora Watch Garrison as Poppy report in. She does get the mess hall to spend out baloney and cheese sandwiches. The sandwich is composed of one slice of white bread, one thin not Oscar Meyer slice of baloney, one slice of American Cheese Non-Cheese Food product, one slice of rye bread. Having skipped breakfast and lunch, they choke it down.
(DM is not going to do the info dump here. If you want posted ask.)
As they enter The Ready Room dining area Poppy sees Ayo and says she is a long nice drink of water who…
Ayo, “Oh it is on girl. Still cover in demon spawn slime. Still alive. Our teams need to get to know each other. A drinking contest it is. Loser team pays the tab.
Group, “Huh. What. What is happening? We did say nothing.”
Ayo, “Team up. Well, Irvan vs Toz is a given. And you have a one-member bonus.” Maggie bows out of contest to talk with Gaisma and to keep it honest. Sir Oliver pretends he is a tea totaller. Drinks up. And Drinks down.”
The results Team Mayhem not LAFF wins two to one. Irvan does drink Toz under the table first. And then drinks Jundis under. Tarsim finishes off Irvan before taking a brief nap. While this happening Maggie and the sober members of Team Mayhem talk with a Tiefling name Question who is a sketch artist and has an expedition going up to Betrayal’s Rise on Fessuran 23. Question does have a rough sketch of the necklace of three prayers but no solid information. Sir Oliver is approached by Aloysia Telfan, a lawful evil, elf wants to hire the group for her expedition leaving on Fessuran 24. As she gives off evil vibes.
BOOK, “Because you read out loud the lawful evil alignment part you nitwit.”
As Aloysia gives off evil vibes, he punts and says he will mention to his party the next morning when they are sober. Maggie and Team Mayhem put Team Ayo to bed and got to their room to sleep.
The group awakens with only slight hangovers. During Fessuran 21 they visit other locations of the city. The Unforgotten Wall is a combination of the Wailing Wall and Vietnam War memorial. Kalym (priest in charge) mentions the drow Aurora Watch member and Jundis. He explains that it’s part of a recent practice taken up by younger members of the Aurora Watch: when a soldier is not sure of living long enough to make friends that will hold a memorial for them, they arrange to have a keepsake of theirs placed by the wall in their honor.
At the crematory Reynard Allerton is glad for help as the two furnaces can only burn four regular bodies or one large body at time and it takes about three hours, they are slightly behind. He will give them a token for a free night and basic food at The Ready Room if they help shift the last bodies.
A tiefling yells, “Halt you morons!” The tiefling is Prolix Yusaf, scholarly agent from the Allegiance of Allsight. His badge displays the symbol of his faction: a scroll bearing a single, watchful eye. Prolix introduces himself as an archaeologist from Ank’Harel, a city on the distant continent of Marquet. He nervously explains that because vrocks often swallow jewelry and other ornamental objects, he has reason to believe that the vrock might have a few valuable items from the Betrayers’ Rise in its stomach—and he’d like to try to cut them out before the Allertons burn the corpse. Prolix starts butchering the corpse badly. Between the smell and blood part of party turns green. As a joke Jundis nibbles on a leg of Vrock before throwing into the furnace. The names of the people who lose their stomachs shall remain nameless because the DM did not take it down.
Some coins, rings, a pair of glasses and a puzzle box falls out the Vrock’s stomach. As Prolix dives for it he is given a wedgie by Poppy, tripped by Tarsim, and elbowed by Sir Oliver.
Prolix, “only really smart people can figure out how to open that box. None of you are smart enough.” Sir Oliver rips open the box with 24 athletics. “Brawn wins versus brains.” Inside the remains of the puzzle box is a of bestow curse and eyes of the eagle. Prolix leaves in a huff, “I swear the alliance of Allsight will dig up your graves a hundred years after your death and write bad things about you and your family.”
On the way to the temple an Vrock attacks the party. Its major achievement is peeing on the monk who charge it while it was still flying. The evil druid grounded with an unfair spell. And the DM had a 1E moment of randomly rolling for treasure during the game.
Just before sunset they visit the old temple of Avandra the Change Bringer. Where the Firbolg Foghome is trying to grow a vegetable garden to supple the watch with fresh veggies. Sir Oliver, Gaisma, and Jundis all have a small vision which they don’t share. Foghome did feel a holy presence last night. The group returns to their lodgings.
During the night Gaisma dreams about Foghome. In the morning she mentions this. The group breaks out in an argument on what it means and what they should do.
The End.
The group needs to tell me before hand on what they going to do on Fessuran the 22nd. Be prepared to level up in the session.
