Entry #512 - The Murder

(G512 18/02/2023 via Roll20 - JF(GM), KT, AP) WA108

[Fenrir and Reinward have returned to Westgate. They are now attempting to get to grips with the political situation and the tasks that Random had set them.]

DAY 523 (8th Eleasis) (August) cont ...

Fenrir decided that it would be a good time, today of all days, to resurrect his uncle. Baeron Thunderstaff II had asked him to do this 'when he got a chance' when he sacrificed himself for the family and was burned at the stake almost a year to the day (DAY 145).

Fenrir had just had Reinward resurrected by High Whipmistress Spyrytara Xalass so he perhaps had had his memory jogged.

In any event he went back, handed over the 26,530 gold pieces and it was not long before Baeron was back in the land of the living.

Once he was up to speed with current events Baeron was keen to get back to Waterdeep but he agreed to help out a bit before he left.

Today Reinward bought a pair of Boots of Agile Leaping from Gondeth's.

DAY 524 (9th Eleasis) (August)

Today Reinward and Fenrir's armour was ready. It was delivered by one of Random's children. Reinward asked about Vanya and was told that she was 'doing fine'.

Reinward gave a note to the kid to give to her. It read:

''Other night was good fun. Glad I'm still alive, hope to do it again''

Today a gentleman called Henrey Heygens was hired to tutor Raz in how to behave in Westgate high society.

At work today Fenrir talked to Portia about who was next in line after the Croamarkh, Dreydal Trant and who would put their hat in the ring to replace him.

Portia mused:
''
Ibana Trant (his daughter and Minister of the Treasury) would go for it, but she would get small support. Kargerth Cormariel who represents
House Cormariel would go for it. Palla the Light of the Mercenaries' Guild could get it, but would not go for it. Urlyvl Athagdal of House Athagdal is in charge while the Croamarkh is missing, but he doesn't want to be Croamarkh. He is on record as saying he would rather be torn apart by badgers. Raziel Lightningrod (i.e. Fenrir!) is not local, not aligned with a Westgate House and would not get support.
''

Back at home that evening Fenrir said to Baeron:
'If you can knobble Kargerth Cormariel for me that would be a helpful thing to do before you head back to Westgate.'

Baeron said he would see what he could do.

DAY 525 (10th Eleasis) (August)

Today at work Portia told Fenrir that Lorek Shaymer was back in town.
You may remember he was a watchman that Fenrir managed to get out of his way in the chain of command by rescuing his slave-trade business partner (Brundesh) from Shaymer's dungeon and exposing him.

Later Fenrir got Gelly to find out more and that evening she told him.
'It's true, Shaymer is back at his house. The one were he had been holding Brundesh.'

DAY 526 (11th Eleasis) (August)

At work this morning Fenrir check what had legally been done regarding Shaymer. It appeared that Just Captain Torndith Hammersong (Fenrir's predecessor) had not charged Shaymer and had put Brundesh away somewhere in the care of a temple that looked after crazy people.

Fenrir went with Reinward to confront Shaymer at his house. He also took the City Sheriff with him.

'Its the Watch!' shouted Fenrir at the door.
'You! You're back, you ruined my life!' cried Shaymer when he answered it.
'We're watching you!' threatened Fenrir. 'Just put one foot wrong...'
'You've put lots of feet wrong!' cackled Shaymer in response. 'Just you wait!'
