**** END OF INSERTION ****
This morning a poster went up around the city which read :
Wanted! In connection with the death of EBB.
- A tall man, bald, with green eyes. Pale, silvery skin.
Foreign. Wearing ornate platemail and armed with a morning star.
- A short lad, red hair, green eyes, Fair of skin.
Local. Dressed in leather clothing.
Oz and Alduin decide to go and get that sorted out and went to talk to
Special Amar Celestine about it. They were kept waiting about an hour but
eventually they met Celestine, a paladin.
He gave them a slight telling off, about thinking about the consequences
of their actions, but also admitted they had done nothing against the law.
They gave the names of Jaroo and Fred in Hommlett who could verify their
reason for travelling.
Finally Celestine asked where he could find them if need be and they said
'at the Singing Sword'.
After that, but before lunch, Oz spent some time playing with his new wards.
They seemed some what traumatised by their recent ordeals, but smiled and
laughed and seemed to forget their troubles for a short while when Oz started
to entertain them with his 'prestidigitation' magic.
Meanwhile, Fenrir was on the track of Dilly Mavelmish and Sylia Abertbrent.
He found nothing of Dilly, but Sylia was part of the Abertbrent noble family
(you may remember he was 'persuaded' to incriminate her during his stay at the
Halls of Justice) so he went to her villa.
He was told by the guards, in no uncertain terms, to go away though and that
was the end of that.
After that he went to the docs to see the Sea Wyvern coming in and I met him
for the first time.
At that time I was too distracted by the unloading of our cargo and dealing with
the doc authorities, but I do remember he was a dashingly handsome young man,
very well dressed and groomed. At that time I did not know the full story of
him, but I did get it later from Corum. Later I came to think there was a
haunted look behind his eyes, but that would come as no surprise to anyone
knowing what had been happening in his life lately.
Lavinia noticed him straight away, something that did not worry me at the time
but did once I'd learned of his reputation!
After that Fenrir went to the Temple of Zhuin to get his 'manservant' checked
over. Now that Giselle was back he wanted to be sure his various liaison hadn't
given him something nasty.
Sorry, forgot to mention, at some point earlier in the day Giselle had arrived
back in Waterdeep, much to Fenrir's delight. She had been living in Rayneford
and had joined a very small-time band of adventurers. They consisted of:
Gustaf - a male dwarf fighter who died during their adventures.
Bertran - a male human arcane cleric
Azbot - roguish male gnome
Nell - roguish female gnome
Giselle - aristocratic bard
Kurl Gnesher was overjoyed to see her, but forbade her to have anything to
do with any of the Thunderstaffs and relocated himself, Giselle and their
retainers to Aunt Bitty's apartments in Sea Ward.
Anyway, in the afternoon Oz went around the city seeing what he could find out
about Elspeth Bendick Belvena, but only found out that she wasn't married.
At six o'clock most of them, 'The Brewery Gang' as those that knew them were
starting to call them, met at a private dining room in the Singing Sword.
The group consisted of Oz, Fenrir, Alduin, Nestoone, Raya and Liamae.
They discussed the logistics around a trip to Candlekeep and various other
things related to the current goings on in Waterdeep, including the refugee
camp at Hova Farm.
At nine o'clock Giselle arrived (presumably having snuck out of her Aunt's house),
in the company of Bertren, a young arcane cleric of Lathander with a Goldenfields
accent. To those that cared to observe them it was obvious Bertren had a major
crush on Giselle.
He was then, rather 'crushed', when Fenrir slinked off with her and had his wicked
way with her upstairs in Alduin's room!
When they came back downstairs, Cavu had arrived. Noticing she too was a bard
they sung a duet, accompanied by Nestoone on the lute. It added a pleasant
ambience to the rest of the meeting.
Oz noticed that Cavu looked like he had been travelling underground, judging by the
earth stains on his clothes and the odour of damp and earth.
Nestoone passed on the information that broken clay had been seen around the areas
where the undead had attacked 20 or so days ago (While Oz and Alduin were in Hommlett).
They speculated that the undead may have been stored in large clay jars.
Once the meeting ended, Oz went back to his spartan room in the OJB and Fenrir went
to his quarters in the TSV.
DAY 151 (9th Eleasis)(August)
In the morning, Oz sent Cavu to organise a ship for travel to Candlekeep.
Cavu also told him that there was a 'leak' somewhere as the Harper gnome Alice Tinker
had approached him at the Singing Sword.
She was offering assistance and support, but she also wanted to know who Cavu worked for.
Cavu told Oz that his mysterious patron had had dealings with the Harpers in the past
and found them to be annoying as they would take over and try and do things 'their way'
which, it must be assumed, was different from the way Cavu and Co did things.
So, since he need to pick up his chessboard anyway he went to the shop where Alice
Tinker worked and talked to her. She was a bit perplexed why they should not work
together since they would be fighting against an obviously evil foe.
Oz said he didn't know why not, and resolved to see if he could find out more about
Cavu and his mysterious 'mother'.
She also confirmed with him that at the time of the undead attacks that large
broken clay jars had been found near her shop.
After talking to Nestoone, he remembered that Cavu was a worshipper of Illmater, so he
decided to see what he could find out about that. He went from ward to ward, but
it appeared there was only one cleric of Illmater in Waterdeep at the moment and while
he usually could be found at the Plinth he was currently at Hova Farm.
Oz also found out a little about Skullport, the notorious semi-mythical town on the
river underneath Waterdeep.
The chessboard cost him 75 gold.
