One Cup at a Time: A Starbucks DnD Campaign

Session 6 - A Termite, a Centuar, and a Vampire

Roll Call: Arlen/Blue Sky, Dolion, Eliodoro/Miron

  Dolion spends the next few days practicing with his mage hand. He tries to pickpocket many times, but finds controlling the hand a bit difficult. He doesn't manage to steal anything of much value, but does get caught once. After a long chase which involved him losing his tail (of which will thankfully grow back) he gets away with no real repercussions.

  Arlen has used their gold to buy special food and minerals for Auntie Sam. As well as an old timey hooded wagon. Auntie Sam has grown to the size of a horse over the few days.

  Eliodoro has not heard from Judith since their night together. He had gone back to the club the next day, but found that it had been closed down. Eliodoro, clad in his Azorius uniform, decided to pry the wooden planks off of the doorway. Inside, he saw evidence of the partying that had gone on the previous night, but not much else. He made his way to the dressing rooms and found them to have been emptied and scorched thoroughly. He smelled to aroma of sulfur, indicating to him that this had been a magical fire. He made his way back up front to the bar and found that it had been emptied of any alcohol or anything of value. Though he wasn't sure if it had been from the same cause of the fire, or just been looted since then. Eliodoro simply left.

  Next door to Arlen is a man known by the name Shank Thrills. He is a loan shark in charge of loans for the Orzhov, but those that are more under the table. Not to worry though, "all rules are followed" when it comes to these secret deals... maybe. He's rather cutthroat. He is also an informant of Eliodoro. Shank knows a lot of happenings that go on in the undercity.

  Eliodoro, remembers his mission to deliver the spy murmur to Arlen and get a report back from them. He bangs on Shank's door, dressed in everyday wear. The door opens a crack, still locked with a chain. Shank pokes his head through that opening and quickly asks "What you want?"

  Eliodoro heaves himself into the door, and the thin wizard cop effortlessly snaps the chain lock.

  From somewhere down the hall a small voice calls out "Daddy, what's going on? I heard a loud noise." Shank tells the child to not worry, he is doing business.

  Eliodoro asks Shank for information and he gives him the usual list of people. Then Eliodoro asks about Arlen.

  "Bug boy?" Shank says he doesn't know much more about him than the average person. He owns the extermination business, and has a blue termite, one that has gotten rather big recently, but besides that stays locked up in his home.

  Eliodoro lifts shank into the air and slams him into the wall, demanding more information on the boy. Shank becomes very intimidated, but insists that he doesn't know anything about Arlen.

  In their apartment next door, Arlen hears the loud thud and sees a visible dent from Shank in their shared wall. Arlen springs into action going into government mode. They begin loading their house which is full of home alone-esque booby traps. They take the notes they had been reviewing (ones they had written about their recent adventures) and stash it away on their person. Then they run into their panic room in the back with the giant metal door, behind which houses Auntie Sam and a mountain of snacks.

  Displeased with Shank, Eliodoro stomps his way out of the apartment, slamming the door behind him. Shank calls after him "Need you to replace those chains."

  Over the last few days, Eliodoro had sent a letter to Arlen asking what had been up with them, insisting that they need to report back to their Dimir informant. Unfortunately, Arlen recognized Eliodoro's handwriting and became very suspicious of Eliodoro.
