In Another Part of The City ...
Koldan frowned a bit at Splinter's information. While Harshnag certainly did sound impressive, it was disheartening to know that a group as illustrious as Force Grey was brought low by betrayal. It was just another point in favor of working alone, and yet, the Ranger knew he would have been killed at Triboar were it not for his new-found companions.
And this Kraken Society ... that sounded ominous. Koldan had not heard of their name before, but to know that they, too, were gathering Giant artifacts, much like Duke Zalto? Perhaps they were in competition with one another. Perhaps they were working together. That deserved some checking into.
For his troubles, Splinter received another golden coin from Koldan. The old man was the type others normally avoided, and it was precisely what made Splinter such a valuable asset: many hunters used the downtrodden, the poor, the shriveled as spies and informants, in no small part due to their amazing power to be invisible in plain sight.
" Thanks for the tips," the Ranger said with gratitude,
" Keep your ears open if you can; I've a feeling things are about to get very complicated in The North."
With that, he disappeared back into the crowds of Waterdeep, wondering what would be best next.
This Kraken Society ... that worried him. The idea that
others were out there digging up Vonindods or whatever else might be buried beneath unsuspecting villages ... If Splinter had heard of them and knew what they were up to, surely others did. There were several other watering holes in Waterdeep, some contacts by the Docks, and other sources of information: a hunter just needed to know where to look.
With that in mind, Koldan set out to overhear and discuss this new organization, and what role they had to play in all of this.

Game Info:
Fire Giants attacked Triboar looking for a "Vonindod", which they called a weapon that was in many parts. Fire Giant Duke Zalto of Ironslag wants this to "win".
Darathra was a Harper: she gave me a Platinum Badge of Triboar to present to Dorkath The Orkath to let him know of the attack.
There is a Kobold in the area of Yartar named "Lightwalker", a craftsman with 'some incredible weapons'.
There is a 5,000 GP Bounty on "The Weevil", a Dwarven Brigand last seen at Xantharl's Keep as a stable cleaner. The reward is for delivering him
alive to authorities in Mirabar.
Ghelryn Foehammer has given us a letter of recommendation to King Morinn and Queen Tithmel of Citadel Fellbar. Ghelryn will also give us a 10% discount on customized weapons and armor in Triboar.
Harshnag is a Frost Giant of
FORCE GREY should be told about the Giants. Apparently his company was 'mostly murdered' after an encounter with a Dragon and a Traitor.
The Kraken Society is a criminal organization that worships 'some tentacled horror of the deep', and was been gathering artifacts related to the Ancient Giant Civilization that was destroyed in a war with Dragons.[/sblock][/sblock]
