Entry #131 - The Rescue of Jade

(G131 20/01/12 - BG - AL, GF(GM), ON)

DAY 110 (30th Kythorn) (June) continued...

Round about lunchtime Oz turned up and they planned a few things and what way to take their investigations.

Oz then went off to talk to Liddy Sparktop at New Olamn and among many other things, the gnome mentioned a time two years ago when yaun-ti were rumoured to have caused trouble outside the city, but that they had been sorted out by the Grey Hands.

After that Oz went to the Singing Sword and talked to Cavu. Requesting a potion for use in getting the monk.

By evening Fenrir had turned up at the family villa in North Ward and talked to his mother regarding the situation between Galinda Raventree Amcathra and Myrna Cassalanter. He learned lots of interesting gossip about what lead up to the incident and that the monk was a pawn in a power play between the two women.

They all met up again in the evening and Gharlie reported back that she didn't learn much about Vallex that day.

Oz once more went to the Singing Sword and spent the evening with Cavu who let slip a couple of things as he got drunk. One, that something very traumatic had once happened to him and the other that he worked for someone who he referred to once as 'Mrs Goodie-two-shoes'.

While that was going on Fenrir did a scout to the Farwatch Tower, where the monk was being held, flying in his sphere of darkness to get a better look of it in the night. He distracted the guards on the roof of the tower with a home made 'flash bang'. He heard a lot of shouting.

DAY 111 (1st Flamerule) (July)

At it rolled around to the next day, Oz talked to a kitchen girl at the Singing Sword called Katrina who he bribed to watch Cavu.

He then spent the night there.

That morning Oz took a walk around the tower where the monk was held prisoner and observed a window were a hand came out to feed some birds on the windowsill.

He also learned that Emmer Jundhyl's house had been broken into three days ago and the intruder had murdered his wife!

Fenrir and Gharlie went to Giselle's flat to get some clothes and he spent most of the rest of the day arranging another flat in the city to set up as a hide out and formulated a plan to pose as someone else as being Fenrir was getting a bit tricky.

He also spoke to Mhair Szeltune at the Watchful Order who gave him a few words of wisdom.

That evening he was dragged off to an opera by Gharlie.

Oz was conspicuous by has absence.

Also that day, Gharlie was successful with her investigations with Vamex and followed the wife and learned that she hated her husband who would occasionally rape her. She planned her day around avoiding him, coming back to the house in the evenings when he was usually out drinking and whoring.

DAY 112 (2nd Flamerule) (July)

This morning Oz picked up a potion of Gaseous Form he had arranged to get from Cavu the day before, then set himself up in an inn called the Wandering Wamik.

He then got his little feathered friend to deliver a message and a the potion to the monk in the tower.

He also sent a note to Fenrir to meet him.

DAY 113 (3rd Flamerule) (July)

The monk, a human female called Jade, arrived at the tavern in the small hours of the morning and thanked her rescuers.

In return for saving her, she gave them her part of the story and the vital bit of information she possessed.

Two years ago she had been part of an adventuring band that had wound up at a small town called King's Holm, not far from the Moon Sea which was very far east of Waterdeep.

They had failed in a quest, and pursued by enemies had decided to separate and hide out for a while with a plan to one day meet up again and complete their task.

Well, dear reader, you may now go back and read about the adventurers of 'Jade' and her friends if you wish, they are detailed elsewhere in my journals, for her band were none other than Fredorrick, Banjax, Wulfgar, Bokk, Marten and Barndal.

She told them most of what she knew about what had happened at King's Holm and revealed that the 'old king' the spirit that lived in the crypt at King's Holm had closed it up and made it so that it could only be opened by someone wielding the sword MERTHUVIAL and wearing the EPHOD OF AUTHORITY.

Being pursued by enemies, sinister bands of yaun-ti, and with three of their number dead they decided to bury these items in an unmarked grave in the very large cemetery and each take a clue to the graves location without actually knowing where it was or the others clues.

Banjax, Wulfgar and Bokk were each buried with their clue in King's Holm and the others went their separate ways.

Fredorrick set up a mail drop at The Gray Serpent in Waterdeep so that the others could contact him.

Jade seemed to trust Oz and told him the clue that she had. It was 'East Section'.
