At twilight, the party sees Hillsfar below. They observe the guards inspecting travelers, and several ships at dock and swinging at anchor. Gondal again reminds, “
don’t interfere with trade in this city.”
The party observes the squat stone tower serving as a Red Plumes custom location, and Fyrnlocke directs the party toward the Rusty Nail. Faerenal and Kimmo remain with the wagons. Entering the squat tudor structure, Quilro pulls his cloak over his head. The Red Plumes eye the party with suspicion, while a bard sings of pirates outsmarting dolting Red Plumes.
Pelvis offers the party 500gp, in four days time. The dark haired female at the bar saunters over, “
Hey Fyrn, who’s group did you intrude upon now. How’d you find your way to a place more unwelcome than me at my sister’s wedding?” Indicating Pelvis, she signals who is this?
“
Who’s this hussy?” Pelvis asks, angering Fyrnlocke. “P
erhaps my contacts with the Red Wizards can assist your entrance to the city.”
Rowan counters, “But perhaps there is another way. The guild has some issues that some problems that adventurers may be able to solve.”
Indicating to a waitress to bring more drinks, “
I can facilitate ways into the city.” Pelvis chooses to remain at the Rusty Nail while Rowen joins the party returning to the wagon assembly area. Rowan appears to pair off with Quilro, who shows her the Zhent weapons. “
We’re talking a large amount of coin.”
Roan and Fyrnlocke bicker about the amount of coin the Zhent weapons can pull, while still affording means to access the city.
Factions within the guild may be at odds; some of these locations are more advantageous than others.
The raucous activities last through the night; Gondal shambles back into camp after a long night of debauchery.
Rowan greets Quilro to Fyrnlocke’s dismay, and orders two bottles of Arabel Dry. Rowan offers potions can be offered at cost; made contact with Titys and Laris. If you agree to clear the guild interested locations, the potions. The sewers are monsters in a previous underground temple.
Pelvis walks downstairs and offers to purchase breakfast. He indicates the value of the components, and hints at his ability to set up a meeting with Red Wizards to discuss change in the town. Pelvis agrees to meet in a week with a reward. He negotiates with the dwarf to back the financials of the potential meeting.
Rowan sets midnight at the western part of the city to gain access. DonBrapp awards 2gp to the men-at-arms for the danger of the trip, and the men’s morale soars.
Quilro inquires what scrolls Rowan might be able to acquire. Specifically angling for a teleport scroll; After haggling over the worth of rubies; fireball, invisibility, and teleport.
Gondal doesn’t return from the Rusty Nail. Kailute and Quilro return to recover Gondal. Drinking and carousing with pirates. “
This is Hillsfar elf; if you don’t end up in the Arena…”
Gondal introduces them to Polyard.
Captain of the Vespeer. “
I’m not serving drinks, I am buying them.” Gondal passes out under the wagon. Rendezvous with Rowan is established.
