Player characters have just reached 5th level.In this session, they attempted a heist of the Margaster estate, a villainous noble family of which the orc fighter PC is a bastard child. The Margasters are devout worshippers of Siamorphe, the goddess of nobility's divine right to rule. The PCs believe the Margasters may have several cards from the Deck secreted in their estate. (I used the map of Cassalanter Villa from Dragon Heist.) The Margasters are putting on a lavish party celebrating Siamorphe known as the Divine Revel. The PCs used the cover of the party to infiltrate the estate using stolen invitations. There, the halfling rogue encountered his love interest, an officer of the City Watch. He tried to upstage her date--an old rival from his school days--and failed spectacularly. Meanwhile, the half-elf wizard was approached by a mage from the Arcane Brotherhood, claiming that the half-elf's murdered parents were secretly working for the Brotherhood, and offering him a place in the order.The Margasters are basically my version of the Cassalanters. It's funny because in Dragon Heist the Cassalanters are devil worshippers who use their worship of Siamorphe as cover for their evil. But in fact the notion of a goddess who affirms the right of a few to rule undemocratically over the many is not exactly awesome.Next session: "Mother, is that you?"</blockquote>
