DM Mike:
Durken looks about with wild wide eyes.
Marl! He...he was just here! He was a traitor! Him! It is his fault! He...he was always the weakest one!
Like a mad bull, Durken breaks away from Amylarn and he charges this was and that in the basement looking for his brother - the one Amylarn immitated so well a few minutes ago.
Amylarn had been hard pressed to keep her blade off of Durken Shark’s tongue that day. She had intended to follow through on her threat. But she had reigned in her darker nature and simply watched the crazed man race about the basement of the tannery searching for his brother. She smiled to herself at a bit of irony. Amy had warned Marl that Durken would probably turn against him. However she had not planned to cause the betrayal herself.
After things have calmed down and the various legal issues resolved, Amylarn seeks out Ardo. She thinks he got off light and doesn't hesitate telling him so. The young woman explains to Ardo that she is content to leave him alone since he did help the adventurers and did not put up any real resistance to them. But Amylarn adds a condition to his freedom. Some day someone will come to Ardo and demand his help. They will remind him that he owes a debt Amylarn and her friends. When that happens, Ardo is to help the individual, no questions asked. There was an unspoken threat in Amy's words. She did not tell him specifically what would happen if he refused to help. To her mind, anything that Ardo could imagine would probably be worse than an actual threat she held over him.
Amylarn was already a resident in Iliptur and had no need for the free lodging offered by the city. However she found herself spending more and more time with her new friends and less at the dress shop where she worked. Soon Seewick Bendor, her mentor, sat her down for a talk. He was already aware of everything that had happened to Amy so there was only to decide how to handle her immediate future. After apologizing for being absent from the shop so much, Amylarn admitted she wanted to go to Waterdeep. Most of the adventurers were going there and she had always wanted to see the City of Splendors.
Seewick accepted her apology and told her he was not surprised. Obviously he could not stop her from leaving, so Seewick decided to make use of the situation. He asked Amylarn to take some samples and drawings with her and try to find some of Bendor's old contacts. Perhaps she could establish a trade agreement for a shop in Waterdeep to sell Bedor's dresses there. Perhaps those contacts would have other needs that Amylarn could help them with and vice versa.
Things were looking up for the blonde tailor's assistant. She ate well and slept better and even felt generous enough to loan Bethany some funds toward her real estate purchase
