Session 3

Heroes: Cade, Drageth, Finn, Jorg, Psol

Together with Ranaer, the party enters the sewers of Port Damali, still on the search for Floon. Drageth scouts ahead in rat form, eventually spotting a tentacled, flying creature (a gazer) guarding the tunnels. The PCs attack the creature and kill it. Not far from that position, they find the entrance to the Xanathar's hidehout.

A couple of goblins hiding behind arrow slits pellet them with bolts, but the PCs rapidly find cover and enter the hideout. They fight a few members of the guild, among them a dark dwarf and a human named Krentz, a thug they met a few days back in the White Duke Tavern. The PCs kill the dwarf and capture Krentz. From him they learn that Floon is indeed kept prisoner in a nearby room.

The PCs find Floon tied to a chair, while he's been interrogated by an half-orc wizard named Grum'shar. In the same room, an aberrant creature with a tentacled head (the mind flayer Nihiloor) witnesses the scene, holding in his hands a disembodied brain with legs (an intellect devourer)!

The mind flayer seems bored by the whole situation, and leaves the room, to then activate a teleporting device in an adjacent room. As he leaves, Grum'shar and the intellect devourer attack the party. After a deadly fight the heroes emerge victorious, and free Floon. 

The party leaves the sewers, and after some rest (and a long bath) they go to meet Scanlan at the White Duke to collect their reward. But Scanlan has a surprise for them.

It seems the gnome doensn't have the money he promised them, but something even better. The deed to Trollskull Manor, a vast property in the North Ward. Rumors say that the former tavern and house are haunted by ghosts, something the Heroes only learn after they've signed the deed, becoming the new owners of the manor.

Session 2

Kenku Ambush!

Heroes: Cade, Drageth, Finn, Jorg, Psol

The party leaves Old Xoblob Shop, and proceed to the Skewered Dragon. The tavern is a ruin, and its patrons are all thugs and criminals. The Heroes ask a few questions around, still searching for Floon. After an "interesting" round of Three-Dragon-Ante, the party is directed to a warehouse on Candle Lane.

When the party reaches the warehouse, they pick the lock to the main door, and enter. Inside they find four kenku (raven-folk) ready to ambush them. They defeat the kenku and capture one. Following a short interrogation, they notice several corpses littering the floor of the warehouse, both Myriad's and Xanathar's thugs. It seems they have arrived not long after a fight between the two gangs.

They also discover a young man imprisoned in a storage room. This is Renaer Neverember, son of the former Open Lord of Porta Damali, and a good friend of Floon. Renaer recounts what he knows:

"The Myriad thinks that my father embezzled a large amount of gold while he was Open Lord, and that he hid the dragons somewhere in the city. They think they can find it by using an artifact called the Stone of Golorr, which was in the hands of the Xanathar Guild until recently. Apparently, someone stole it. The Myriad thought I knew something about all of this, but I don't. My father and I haven't spoken in years."

He fears Floon was abducted by the Xanathar due to his resemblance to Renaer. He has overheard that the Xanathar brought him somewhere in the sewers. 

While the PCs discuss things with Ranear, the City Watch arrives on the scene, led by Captain Hyustus Staget. Thanks to the presence of the nobleman the party is let go with a warning to not interfere further with the official business of the Watch. The party retires for the night, planning their explorations of the sewers.

Session 1

Heroes: Cade, Drageth, Finn, Jorg, Psol

The Heroes are in the White Duke, a tavern in the Dock Ward of Port Damali. They witness an altercation between a half-orc woman (Yagra) and a group of five thugs.

They intervene to help out Yagra, knocking out a couple of thugs, and sending the rest running. When they ask the half-orc about the reason of the attack, she explains that the attackers are members of a criminal syndicate called "the Xanathar". She had encountered a few of them in the past, and beat them to a pulp. Apparently these goons were trying to get revenge on her.

The Heroes' actions attract the attention of one of the patrons of the tavern, a gnome bard going by the name of Scanlan Shorthalt. He hires the PCs to find his missing friend, Floon Blagmaar; he fears the man was kidnappend a couple of nights before, somewhere around the Skewered Dragon tavern, also in the Dock Ward.

The party loses no time to investigate, and they make their way to the Skewered Dragon. On the road they witness a squad of city guards apprehending a few criminals involved in a street fight, and they pass by a curios' shop, Old Xoblob Shop, an establishment run by a wizened gnome with an obsession for purple items.

The Heroes make some shopping, and ask the gnome regarding Floon. The gnome confirms he saw a man matching the description of Floon having a fight with some thugs a couple of days before, just outside his shop. The man was not alone, together with him was "his brother", or at least someone who looked a lot like a sibling.
