Goals

  • Help out people of the island
  • Find clues about who the organisation is and what there goal is

Locations

NPCs

  • Niki - female gnome (irish, friendly, wants the party to succeed)
    • Distant aunt of Nyx, offers Nyx and Chase lodging in exchange for her performing/helping out.
  • Mando Kassis - male human 35 (german, smirk)
    • Has two bottles of a mix of cow milk, chocolate and berry liqueur for kitty. She can try, but a bottle is 4gp.
    • Fan of Nyx (as a secret bard)
    • Knows of things, that the guards are running thin on manpower and weapons. 
    • Might know that Soheil has been trying to sell some information.
    • A farmer came in an bought rat poison but it didn't help the problem and he's now complaining to Mando.
      • Bring me 10 rat tails in return for payment. (Listed address has no basement and owner has no rat problem. The address given was wrong and should point to a house further down the way.)
    • If they don't bite, he asks the players how good they can see at night. He has a delivery coming this night by the river it's been getting dangerous lately with thieves.
      • He's expecting a boat to arrive on the river delta north of here during the night with medical supplies from Sinaskari. He wants the players to observe from a distance and make sure any problems are avoided. If thieves or pirates have taken over the boat, they should take it back. Dock the boat in a small village 2km north from here. A 
      • Does it during the night because of the risk of getting caught by pirates, thieves or the enemy (it's happened before) red haired guy named Raffy will be waiting at the docs.
      • Why not directly in the town? The guards are taxing everything they can to fund the effort, but taxing medicinal supplies is bullshit.
  • Azarah Aleen - male elf criminal (french, evasive)
    • Taking a financial hit from the situation, most patrons fled
    • Owns the Quiet Dagger inn.
    • Can provide finances to the party (he has enough stashed away), feuding with Amin Tavaki.
    • Sold the copper dragon egg to Issac for 200 gold. Got it from a "friend" in Pothos in exchange for sending back a traitor to his friend.
  • Soheil - male tabaxi (turkish, playful)
    • Usually hanging around Quiet Dagger
    • Has some info about the "org" but doesn't want to drop it. 70 gold and he'll give them a cloak he found that has their emblem. Otherwise he'll direct them to an outpost where he found the cloak but has also been overrun by a monster, with fresh bodies to be found when the party investigated.
  • Arman Granitcloak - male dwarf, druid/healer (scottish, excited)
    • Running low of herbs, if the party gather some Qhanmon, a yellow flower with a red interior that can be found in sea-water. It blossoms during the early morning but the sent attracts some aquatic creatures.
    • Will provide the party with two healing potions in exchange for 20 Qhanmon flowers. Come back in a week and he'll have two more to sell or for more work.
  • Gerlinde - female human old
    • Asked Kyrion to bring her a Qhanmon flower, to reminder her of her late husband Hanz Philip. 
    • Thanks Kyrion with a kiss on the cheek. Asks about his motivations and goals. Will warn him of the "Widdow Maker Bridge" to the south, it's cursed. Hopefully the bandits have destroyed it.
  •  

Encounters

  • River Delta
    • While waiting, make them roll perceptions and stealth.
    • A small boat with 3 guards on it.
    • After a while, the one guiding the boat gets an arrow through the throat, and some bandits dock on the boat. Fighting ensures.
    • 3 thugs and 1 spy against 3 thugs which quickly get taken out.

End of session

Kyrion brought the flower to Gerline, which thanked her and warned her of the dangerous bridge down south. Kitty went on a picnic with Kassis, which asked her and her friends to make sure a boat delivery goes he is expecting goes without incident.

The party tried to meet up with the mayor Estadan but were unsuccessful. Instead, they went out to help a farmer with his rat problem be convincing half of them to leave in exchange for grain, and the other half were slaughtered by Mc Chicken.

The party visited the Quiet Dagger, talked to Azarah, Soheil and another person. Azarah offered them to work for him, while Soheil were hurt about Kitty's picnic with Kassis. He warned them not to get involved in the ambush during the evening.

At night, the party met up with Raffy the tiefling, and set up camp north to check on the boat. While waiting for the boat, the party got attacked by some plants. Once defeated, the boat arrived and was ambushed by men from Azarah, while the boat was driven by people from Amin. The boat contains a box with rations, simple armor and daggers, and medicine.
