The Shake Up
Apr 27, 2024 11:58 pm
Hensonious and Belladona Weavering were out running an errand in the Arcanist Quarter the day Neverwinter was ravaged by the events following Mt. Glaurimm's eruption.
There was to be a meetup, and they awaited their contact towards the outskirts of the district. The deal was simple enough. Scrolls for coin, no questions asked.

"What if it's a setup?" Belladona asked again, she seemed particularly paranoid today, but then again so had your father, maybe she was drawing off his energy after all he hadn't said who the deal was with not today no one person couldn't have to much Information Hensonious understood the scrolls that was his Job, he understood what they would do in theory when used, but he'd never seen spells like this before.

Contact
A Figure dropped from the rooftop her movements silent, she held a bag in one hand clearly not ready to release it even if she was given what she wanted. And in the other she held a orange tulip, Belladona nodded this was the contact, and she was as was often the case exactly on time, after all standing for to long in one place was likely to get the attention of the citizen militia.

"Calm yerself, there's a reason we go together."
Hensonious pulled the sack of scrolls close. There was always a risk of things going south when dealin under the table. The weave was in turmoil of late and most folk were beginning to pull away from the business the Weavering family had grown.
As more clients pulled out of long standing contracts, there was an ever increasing need to deal with a shadier side of the city. People a little more comfortable with risks in utilizing the arcane wares they dealt in.
"Look, I'd like ta be done with this whole side hustle too. But te money keeps us churning on. Now no more frettin over this."
Right on schedule the contact dropped to make the swap. He eyed the bag, a thick brow raised as he removed the scroll sack and tilted it towards her, spreading the enclosure to give a peak at the contents.
"All as asked."

"The Beckoning Death" She muttered, "and here I Was thinking it would be a gross approximation..." she lifted the bag, to Belladona to Inspect, she out her hand under the bag feeling the weight of it, this bag contained refined sapphire, and by the looks of it not a small amount. Belladona nodded, she had this uncanny sense of how much something weighed and could tell this was exactly what was asked for.
Taking the scrolls the contact turned to leave just as the first quake hit, it was a slight tremor in the ground nothing crazy but it was enough that Belladona jumped back, "do any of the scrolls do that?" she whispered. It was always a risk that the product would be used against you, but you came prepared for such things.

Beckoning Death? Great. The gemstones might as well seep with blood to emphasize their deal's impact. As if to follow through on the impending atmosphere, the earth itself began to tremble.
Belladona whispered her worry to him, but a simple spell was not worth the payment they recieved. No, this was something else. Perhaps Mystra was showing Her displeasure after so many dirty deals?
Their family was blessed with a knack at manipulating magics. It was what made them popular up until recently, and it may have explained why despite the unease around the arcane, they still managed to produce functioning products.
"No request fer a tremor scroll, an I don't sense the workings of a spell here. This ain't our work. Best get movin, I 'ave a bad feelin."

As you turn to run the shaking continues... Getting stronger and stronger, Belladona turns back for a second, "The Contact, she's gone." Bella says, If you're contact used that much magic at once to get out if here that could only mean one of two things she was incredibly foolish or...
Smoke is rising from the top of Mount Glaurimm, that mountain was supposed to be Inactive, any dwarf who knew anything about the mountains in this region knew that all it did was heat the River and a small Forge that had been built near the base. But that was smoke, and that mountain was close to the city too close.

He wasn't sure where the quakes would strike the hardest, but one thing was obvious, they needed to get out of the district. Far too many buildings could collapse if the quakes continued, and by the looks of the smoke coming from Glaurimm, it was about to be much worse.

You race through the streets looking for a way out, any way out, but you're too far away from the Protectors Enclave to head that way leaving the city brings you closer to the danger not further away and the river which would likely protect you from the explosion is practically a war zone as people fight over boats pushing for a way across as the quakes get stronger and stronger.

"Weave smother these fools!" Hensonious fumed as he observed the chaos breaking out at the waterway.
People were in full on panic. Many dove into the water while others fought over the few boats available. Strong opportunists lashed out on women and children, their fright-filled resistance futile.
He needed a way out, but to go down the well tread routes would only lead to more of the same.
He glared at Belladonna, something about her worry agitated him. "Well don't jus stand there lookin helpless! We need a way out of the city, think!"
Belladona gave him a look that usually came before a tightly wound punch, but she shook her head and scrunched her temple in contemplation. "I-It's likely unstable, but there's a teleportation circle not too far from here. People won't be scramblin over magical means with the way things have been. Worth a shot, right?"
Hensonious grunted and stroked his beard, the magic could very well send them piece by piece to other locations, but at least the death would be rather quick compared to sudden burial. "Aye, worth a try. Better than gettin buried or mauled to death. Lead the way then!"
The duo rushed down emptying streets, favoring alleys as the ground tested their balance. After what felt like far too long, they arrived at an abandoned shop. "In here!" Belladonna shouted as she darted through the off tilt doorway.
The circle was in a backroom, partially obscured by items that had fallen off the nearby shelving. "Help me clear it, we can't wait, or burial is the least of our concerns!"
Hensonious gets to work pulling the various boxes and materials away, but darts a few glances at his sister. "How did you know about this thin anyway?"
Belladonna rolls her eyes as she finishes clearing the final loose papers that covered the arcane symbols. "Dated a guy. He showed it off to get laid. It's linked to Baldur's Gate, at least it was. Maybe we just die, now hush, I gotta focus."

Teleportation
Buildings we're falling down around you, as you ran, and that didn't stop as you cleared away the circle these were supposedly more stable magic they'd been taught how they we're supposed to work for years but as each of you stepped onto it there was still a feeling of fear, could this be your last day, and if you did die would death by magic be worse than death by...
The Volcano's top blew Lava flying everywhere, towards the city away from the city and then with one mighty roar the Arcanist District split in two. "Now!" Belladona yelled "Neverwinter to Balder's Gate." and she was gone.
It should've taken both of you, there was nothing left you do but try again, "Neverwinter to Balder's Gate!" you yelled at the sky as the circle itself was ripped in half, the Chasm widening.
You vanished, and we're thrown through a swirling abyss, reds greens purples was that a ship, flying through this mess? It didn't take long however before you were thrown out ofnthis space and appeared In...
A Town.
This wasn't connected to any network you knew about and you knew them all, The Harper's Teleportation network the Thayan Teleportation Network, and even a small network considered the Candlekeep Network, of which the locations, as well as the command word were.of upmost secrecy. But there was no books here either so it couldn't be that network either.
Then you saw it Balder's Gate in the distance, at least you thought it was Balder's Gate, smoke rose from the blackened towers around the city. It certainly wasn't waterdeep, or Luskan, and it looked big enough to be Balder's Gate.
Belladona wasn't around but ahead of you was Balder's Gate you could still hope she'd made it there.

Halt! A large armoured minotaur on horseback yelled from behind you flashing a few quick hand signals yo his companions, "What do you think you're doing out here past curfew, don't you know there are still demons prowling about.?"
Perhaps it was an effect of the magic but you heard his thoughts as well.
'I may die to these demons and this aragont fool is just prouncing around in the middle of the night, I have a son, and so help me I won't die for this fool before my son grows up.

Hensonious clutches his head as the world swirls into focus. Half his vision was dark. The warm flood of pain a clear sign that something had indeed gone wrong, and now some cockamimie bull rambles about bedtime?!
"To the hells with your curfew! Neverwinter laments in it's death throes and you bemoan over a silly curfew?!"
He looks up at the rider, still trying to avert his impending headache as the blood seeps from the missing organ.
"Might die? Get yer spine straightened! Where the blazes did that circle take me?"
He tries to stand, but the feeling only comes to his right leg. He cannot find the strength to command the other.
"Just ma luck. Dodge certain death, right into uncertain death with impairment!"
He glares out his solo eye towards the minotaur. "Well? Out with it. Or is this the part where you stick me with the pointed end?"

We've got streets to patrol though seeing as you might be possessed we can't very well let you go, best way to get rid of a demon after all is kill it while it's in someone's body.
She does however toss you a potion of healing, before she shuts the gate.

Hensonious reaches for the potion, fumbling just shy as he struggles to adjust to his monoview.
"Such mercy as I rot in a cell. Elturian welcome indeed!" He grumbled as the rider's departed.
With a bit more effort, he manages to scoop up the potion and decides quickly against the threat of his splitting headache to down it's contents.
Healing potions were common enough, the smell when the stopper popped always reminded him of fresh cherries, but it was hard to smell the nostalgic aroma through his blood soaked hair and beard.
With the effects of the potion taking hold, he sighs in blessed relief, settling himself against the gate and taking in his new roommates.

"Thank that soldier for the potion. Of all the ridiculous thins of the night, I'll at least acknowledge a good act among the bad. Where I go however is my business, an be assured it will be far from your city."
With little more care to waste time in the bumbling city of horse lovers and paranoid angel worshippers, he set out for Baldur's Gate.

The building itself is ancient and badly in need of repair and when you walk in to look around it becomes clear that nobody would notice if you sat down to listen to some random lecture in fact by the looks of it you'd guess that's what half the people here are doing. You find the teleportation circle unguarded.

One student however a younger dwarf stands, and walks over to you and begins talking Interspersing Telepathy for every second word.
"I Might Know Where She's Gone Pretty Expensive Stuff Though That's for Sure".
He turns back and winks at a group of students who try their best not to burst out laughing.

"Odd, she usually only makes the low performers pay extra. Ye do know how te swing yer hammer don't ya?"

"Isn't that right professor!" he yells to the front of the class but gets no response not even a be quiet, "It is something he says, all the time, but anyway you're probably just like her don't got nothing of value with you so I figure you'll end up at the same place anyways."
He holds out his hand as if after all this he still expects you to pay him.

Hensonious looks to the dwarf's expectant hand and then back to his face.
"You want paid then? Name yer price, an if you insult me with greed, I'll acquire the information anyway, but you'll be short a payday."

Hensonious raises a thick brow, stroking his beard.
"I have been known for my intellect, true enough. Though what assurances do I have that you actually know anythin? I could ace your test, an receive useless info. Do I have your word, under penalty of severe repercussions?"
He extends his hand out.
"Cause if so, you have a deal."

At just that moment the bell rings, and the professor starts walking around to hand out papers.

You finnish up the test quite quickly, it's not even that difficult, and when you hand it in the professor doesn't even look up let alone look at the name on your sheet.
"I guess I owe you that Information... She went to the counting house, I mean she showed up with nothing, and even if it's just a journey back to... Wherever you need money, the thing is with thay place is when need money then you'll need twice as much to pay it off and if you aren't actively paying it off they hire people to track you down, I truly hope she can get out of it, but if anyone asks, I wanna see her in the house down the street."

"Take yer studies seriously next time. You'll not impress me or my sis failin something as simple as basic component configuration!"
He chuckles and winks, which sadly only comes off as a strangely long one eyed blink, to which he huffs in annoyed realization.
"Damn that circle! Should I be needin yer winking services, I'll know where te find ya Greybeard."
Not wanting to waste more time in the arcane kindergarten, he stumbles off to try and locate Belladona.

When you reach The Counting House the first thing you see is your sister, and she's sweeping.
There's so many better jobs your sister could get in the city, jobs that would pay better, you're sure if it but sweeping the inside of a massive marble hall, that wasn't one of them. She wasn't dressed too poorly, and didn't look hungry so that was a good sign but taking a job sweeping at a bank that didn't seem so good.
Belladona looks down when she sees you trying yo avoid your gaze as if you aren't there looking for her and if she just doesn't acknowledge you you won't Interact with her.

Hensonious shuffles over to his sister and pulls her into a tight hug.
"Ye live! An what a blessin, ye seem all put together as well!"
He breaks the hug, but braces on her shoulder.
"Wish I could say the same. Damn thin tossed me to Elturel and missin some key components to boot!"
He rolls his eye. "Those self righteous idiots held me in a cell for darin to appear bleedin on their streets! Came as soon as I could, I swear. "
It was now that Hensonious truly registered that she was belittling her skillset with menial labor.
"A broom? Tell me ye were plannin te enchant it an fly off! What happened?"

"I can't... She said slowly looking over at the counter, "when I showed up here I showed up, with nothing. Absolutely nothing. I made my way here seeing as I needed to buy something better than the practical rags I was wearing, an there was no way I was getting a Job while I was still in rags. Problem was I didn't have a way to pay them back, an see You can't just do nothing so they made me start working here. Thing is my debt is going up faster then I can pay it off."
She looks to you in silence for a moment, "I don't have time to even look for another job. I thought a running but I've seen first hand what they send after someone who does and I ain't able to survive that."

He pulls a tiny book out out of a locked drawer flips through the book until he reaches a page, on the page is an Incredible likeness of your sister which alone you Imagine would have cost them a few hundred gold pieces.
"She's a week behind on payments right now, which means that she's gotta pay back double those payments, she borrowed five hundred gold which has gained eighty gold of interest so the hundred gold she was supposed to pay back plus the interest plus the non-payment tax and the service charge comes to...

Hensonious scowls, what the hells was this ludicrous number!?! A king's ransom would barely make a dent in that amount! Well clarities be damned! This city wanted a slave, and it would need to fight to claim it!
"Yer dreamin pal. Nobody is payin that off, not even the Grand Dukes!"
He storms off over to Belladona and shakes the poor dwarf.
"Sweepin floors?! You'll not live long enough fer that to start paying off that nunber!"
He leans in close during the violent shakes.
"Ye cannot stay here, we need te get ya back home. This place only wants another slave!"

Hensonious looks the bony bastard up and down. Yeah, he didn't have the firepower to take on a walking corpse that likely could track them with pinpoint accuracy. He sighs, rubbing his temple.
"Okay fine! New plan. I'm gonna help ye get this paid off. Surely with the lack of arcane skills I've seen so far in this city, there will be a demand fer actually competent arcanists. I'll get the material coined out to keep yer payments current so we can actually get setup.
Once we settle this. We get back te whatever is left of home, sound good?"

"You should go live your life, this is my mess to clean up after." She says without much conviction.
The years that follow are hard years for both of you, it almost makes you feel sympathy for the people who don't have as much as you did back In Neverwinter. Surviving on only the bear essentials.
Oftentimes you wonder what has become of Neverwinter of the Arcanist's district of your father, but there is little news from the Jewel of the north, it seems people only do things that pay well In Balder's Gate and Bringing news from a far away place doesn't pay well enough.
