The Changing Hunt

"I personally have worked with the Tyrants before, but saying we work for them it’s a bit too much for my taste. They are not the worst of the power brokers in Sharn. I probably would rank the Sharn city watch as more untrustworthy than the Tyrants." Alin scratches their chin.
"Of course that barmaid is a changeling and a Tyrant agent, not that it matters. I can’t say I liked the tone of their voice… obedience is a word I never use personally, except perhaps if I had a pet. I gave my word to do a job, so I will do it. But if I am treated like a dog, I will eventually bite the master." Alin re reads the note and then scribbles four unreadable "words" on a piece of paper, and shoves that into a bag. "The goals are clear enough, but ingratiating the Tyrants with a storm lord is a bit of an ask, perhaps the artifacts delivery will suffice."

"If you're recruiting, I'll put my axe behind your cause. I can tell you lads will be a fun bunch."

"Arm wrestling champion was really just an in-between gig. I trust in the Sovereign Host to put us on the right path, and I think they're speaking to me right now."

Kevin looks at the note with the mission parameters. Didn't we know this already? Have we gotten some useful information or are we just here to polish their egos?

"I'm confused, and realize I may be being rude. As you heard, I'm called Mrak. My people come from the land you southerners call The Demon Wastes. I won't bore you with a long tale just now, but needless to say I've traveled from the Wastes, through the Eldeen Reaches, Droaam and Breland, and now here to Stormreach. I currently find myself without a cause worthy of my sword. You seem like heroic folk, and I'm comforted to know you don't actually work for the Tyrants. Like Gunner I'll put my faith in the notion that you all may be what I've been waiting here for."

"The Demon Wastes, now there's a battleground. I imagine you have a few stories yourself!" Gunnar salutes Mrak by lifting his bucket to him before taking another massive swig.

OOC:
You, as players, know the mission parameters. It took a bit of time to travel between Sharn and Stormreach, so the note acts a reminder of your priorities, as well as the last known location of the person.

So, what are you doing? Are you all going to rest, or head out immediately to investigate?

"Let's head out!"

Gunnar slams his bucket back, drains it, and then slams down on the table. As he wipes the foam from his beard, he declares:

"Just gotta take a piss first."

"I’ve got to get my gear. Meet you back here in ten minutes." Mrak heads back out to get his kit.

"But the room is free..." Ghullie lamented. "A night on land in a comfy bed before we head out can't hurt."

The druid may love the natural world but the luxury of a soft bed held a strong allure for him.

Alin holds the note over a candle until it begins to burn "We could do some light reconnaissance tonight, but we shouldn’t plan on any close interactions perhaps until everyone has slept off their libations?" Alin let’s the note burn close to their fingers, then tosses it into the hearth.

"Ghillie my friend, I also wish to spend the night in a bed that is not swaying with the sea." Alin then muses more quietly "Some warm company in bed would also do me good. Our Tyrant contact is intriguing but seems a little prickly. Perhaps we’ll find someone in the Embers district."

Mrak returns shortly, armed and armored. "I'm ready to go."

Gunnar returns. "Libations? Rather go in drunk than hungover, but don't worry about old Gunnar here. Barely even feel light-headed. Us Dwarves can handle our drink a lot better than most other folk."

A stroll through the Embers district would shake off those pesky sealegs.
Kevin opens his bag and directs his metal cat to climb into it. It does and disappears into the bag. It must be an extra dimensional bag of holding

"We shall have to stroll through the marketplace and we will hit the Embers. Keep your hands on your pouches and you eyes on anyone near enough to stick you with a dagger."

Ghillie sighed, looked longingly at what should have been his soft bed, and prepared to move out.

OOC:
DM Do I know anything about the Oldgate district that I can contribute to the party before we go traipsing around?

Gunnar claps Ghillie on the back, a move designed to cheer him up rather than break bones, although it might be difficult to discern the difference between motives from the force of the gesture.

"Come my new friend, don't look so long in the face! Comfy beds are for old men with no more new stories to write! There will plenty of time for that later."

[ +- ] What Mrak Knows About Oldgate

Mrak studies the streets around you intently. "I've always thought something was off about this part of town. Tread carefully."

The druid gave another resigned sigh.

"But I am old, friend dwarf, and require rest so that I may write those stories," Ghillie replied with a chuckle.
