Ooaaaahhhhhhh.
Where am I? My head will explode. Either have some extremelly weird dreams after eating everything up in Elfsong Tavern, or I am captured and tortured. But wait, what was that sound? An explosion? Or my stormach, after some days of starvation? Either way, I am captured, and tortured, and the worst, I am hungry. Try to open my eyes.
So weird place. Cages ahead, and two doors. Another Explosion, it was closer Someone comes, They will know, what can a VERY hungry halfling do, especially if he is a Bhaalspawn. The man comes in this large room, and than dies, from a spell. I wasn't able to see the mage. A few minute silence, and Imoen comes from the another door. How could she escape? Surely with this safety case knock spell. She comes, and releases me. She has right, we cannot stay here.
In my neighboring cage we found Jaheira. She is alive, and uninjured, we shall find her key to release her. We found in the neighboring room. She hasn't lost her style, but she was more than happy, that I released her. In the keyroom, we found some common equipment also. In there Jaheira conjured some goodberries, to weaken our, and especially my hunger. I have eaten ten pieces of them, but she told, one is always enough. I have this horrible feeling, that I forgot something. When whe go back to the cageroom, we found there a guy, and she told, that some demigoddes of immortal bards send he, to rescue us. He doesn't look evil, and his eyes also not, so we trusted him. He told, that some Yoshimo guy will to speak with us. He teleported us to him, and when we talked to him, I realized, that he is some sort of thief. He offers some information, and he wants to join us. I didn't found him evil, or treachorous, so I let him join to us. Then we teleported just to the exit, and there the teleporter guy gived us this Mage, Irenicus' most valuable possessions. Afther that, an Kara-Turian girl, Kachiko found us, and want to kill Yoshimo, because she thinks, Yoshimo killed her brother. I speaked about the thing with Yoshimo, and with Kachiko, and found a solution. Because Yoshimo's Oat, he wouldn't leave my party, and Kachiko can't go home without Yoshimo, even the new reason is to find the real murderer, so Kachiko joins us as a fighter-Mage. So we five go to the exit
Craaaaaaaaaaap!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Big Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!!!
When we go outside, the battle ends there, between this Irenicus, and some thief like guys, and little later against some mages. Eventually the other mages takes Irenicus with them, but Imoen too, for unauthorized spellcasting. But Why? She casts only one Magic Missile. We must find her, and the meantime equip ourselves. We asked a few people, and they tells, the best point to start the investigation is the tavern called as the Copper COronet. In the meatime Yoshimo buyed two potions of Master Thievery, and went into some action. The result wasn't bad, because he stole some gems, gold, necklaces, and two spellscrolls, which was wery precious, at least Kachiko tells that. One of them was the Improved Haste, the second was the Mordenkainen's Sword. We found a shop, called "the Adventurers Mart", but their stuff was too expensive. Yoshimo tells, that one, maybe one and half day, and we can equip ouself here, this City is full of opportunity.
So we went into the Slums. At the District BOrder, a thieflike guy, named Gaelan Bayle found us, and tells, he knows some powerful people, an organization, that can help us, but this would be wery expensive, egsactly twenty thousand gold. We had no choice, and accepted the offer. When we goes out, his Nephew, Brus tolds that he knows maybe a Job: The temples, including Lathander's temple has trouble with a new cult. There is a good opportunity, but we will check first the Copper Coronet.
This is a little creepy to a Tavern, when I checked to confirm my suspicion, some of the guards are evil. Something is wrong here. We found Joluv, a merchant from Icewind Dale. He has some nice items, but they are very expensive. Jaheira, who is a little unbalanced because she saw Khalid multilated body, found a very nice spear by Joluv. Maybe if we buy it, she will a little easyer to her. But go back to the Tavern. I really feel, something is wrong here, so I goes to the owner. He was quite butthead, but when I said, that I have a lot of gold to spent, he reaches some nicer tone. I choosed from the various opportunity the gambling, and he shows the way to the back rooms to view, and to bet on some gladiatorfights. We, "at a coincidence", missed the showed room, and so because we can go to back, we checked the truly backrooms, and corridors. The Guards here ar very agressive, and attacked us, but this was a very bad Idea from them. They died, in an extremelly short battle. Kachiko was very pleased again, because she found an extremelly rare spellscroll, the spell trigger. But more important, that we are in some jail corridor. From the middle jail, Hendak, a slave asks as, to free him, and the other slaves. To do that, we must have the key from the Beastmaster.
Slaves? So this is the very-very badness here. Smuggling is one thing, especially if some rare wine, or spice, illegal gambling is another, but do that with slaves, it is disguisting. How can somebody so mean, not employing a few gladiators, especially trained ones.
We found the Beastmaster at the opposite side of the Compound. He attacked us, wit his Animals, so we must defend ourself, but we managed it, and he died, and left a scroll to Kachiko, a good bow, and of course the Key, and we can rescue the Slaves. Hendak goes to Lehtinan, the owner, and killed him, so the Slavership in the Copper Coronet ends.
Hendak cannot granted some good rewards, but he grants us big amount discount price by the Bartender, and he asked to vipe all slavers out from Athkathla. We accepted the task, but before that we looked the new stock. It was first class. A sling, I have ever dreamed of, the owner can shoot with it with Strength only in 1500 gold... I buyed it. Kachiko also was very delighted with the scrolls, and when we have more money, we will buy the scrolls also.
When we finished looking the stock, we goes on the Slaves. A frontal assault couldn!t be a good idea, so we looked some hidden passage, and found it, through the sewers. Why is, that badguy always using sewers? I hate them. Before we went down, a girl Nalia wanted us to help her out with some sort of fighting. We accepted the task, and marked her castle on our map, and when we have time, we will look upon that. A noble called Firkraag wants also our help, with some monster hunting. He becames the same answer as Nalia.
So we went down. In the sewers wasn't too much resistance, some hobgoblins, mustard jellies,carrion crawlers and kobolds, but the weirdest thing was, that Yoshimo everywhere tooking in his arms, and taked the most different weirdest things, as a hand, an unvaluable ring, some blood of the carrion crawler? Why doing he that? We found a separated room, within it four pipes. On every pipes was some scripting. When we read it, realized, that is some riddle, so we think together, and found the solution. The weird things what Yoshimo found should be taken in the pipes in the correct order. Another few thinking, and found it, and when we placed the items, we found a powerful two handed sword. The only problem, no one uses it, and to me is extremelly big. No matter, we can sell it in good prize.
We foun also the stairs to the slavers compound. We prepeared here to a warm welcome, and it wasn't a waste, because when we went up, the slavers tried to ambush us. It was a hard, but short fight with our victory. In the neighboring room two trolls tried to eat a slave child. This is more disguisting as I thought. I was more angry, when I was most hungry. And that in a Halfling bhallspawn is a killer thing. We killed the trolls, and released the slave child. She can't go anywhere, so we gave her 100 gold to begin a new life. After that, we released another two slave child. Then go to fight, because two yuan-ti noticed us, and after that the remaining slavers, with two mages. We was most angry, and the haven' many chaces. They died, and we sufferd only some light fleshwounds. Then we looted the slavers remains, and we gathered some valuable thing also, and when we sold them, we have almost 10000 gold. We goes back to Hendak, and he was most pleased.
Now to where? Maybe to the Docks, perhaps we can get some "special" wine or spices. When we arrived, Yoshimo mentioned, maybe we can try to talk with one of his acquaintance, Renal Bloodscalp, maybe he can offer some well payed Job to us. Before we entered to the Shadow thief compound a Cyric priest tried to reimburse us. Why is, that in Athkathla one or two mans try to attack a well equipped team?
We went into the Shadow thief guildhouse. In the groudflour is a blackmarket, with some interesting spellscroll, if we would have a free 2000 gold, than Kachiko would have some spells from here also. We goes up, and met with Renal Bloodscalp. He asked to infiltrate into one of his guildhouse, because he didn't trust one of his guildmaster, and we shall find evidence of his betrayal. Due YOshimo's advice we accepted the task, and because this guildhouse is at the Docks, we goes into it. In the groundfloor is Gorch, a good merchant who has some nice items, and YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!! Rare wines in good price!!! Yoshimo thinked more practically, and he succeeded to sell the same wand 15 times to Gorch. What does he do? It isn't fine to steal (yes it is stealing) 500000 gold, but it could be a Financial attack on the betrayer. If we shouldn't need that amount of gold, I would complaining, but this is a good and easy way to gather the gold to buying Gaelan Bayle's help, and buying some excellent equipment also. Gorch, when we show him Renal's letter, he let in, and down to speak with Mae'Var. He looks like a psycho. He tortured someone especially cruel, when we found him. He tried to scare us, but he didn't succeed it. To the first trial task we must stole a ring from the local high priestess of Talos. Why not? This isn't a bloody job, and does a great blow, to the Talassans. On the way to the Temple district, we in the memory of Imoen, WE GO SHOOOOOOOOOPPING, SHOOOOOOOOOOPPING!!!!!!!!!! We bought from the "Yoshimo-Gold" some scroll, and potion holding bags, some potions, some well enchanted Bullets, some middle powerful, and some very powerful items, and all avaible spellscrolls for Kachiko, and later Imoen.
On the Way we was attacked by a Slaver group, but they didn't have chance to us. When we arrived to the Temple District, we noticed what was the "sect" problem, Brus mentioned. A blasphemic guy Gaal tried, and succesfully Reimbursed them, especially the peasants, and the commoners, who had nothing to lose. That is bad, and do something. The local priest of Lathander noticed me, ant invited into the local church, and asked to investigate this cult, and if it is illegal, purge it. I accepted the task, but before that, we have things to do.
We buyed the interesting thing in the Lathander, and in the Helm Temple, and went to the Talos temple. There Yoshimo again played his usually trick. We buyed every interesting thing from Mistress Ama, then Yoshimo pickpocketed her. We goes back victorious to Mae'Var, and he sent us up to meet his second Command Edwin, a bloody good spellcaster. Why have a bad feeling about this? On the way, on the secon lvl, Yoshimo tested his skills on the learningtraps and locks, and we found some nice treasure. on the third floor my bad feeling realized. We met Edwin Oddesseiron, the annoying red Wizard from Naskhel. He called upon us to kill a Cowled mage. O, that is soooooo bad. We must find the evidence of Mae'Vars betrayal, or in a short time, we have some dagger or arrow in our back. To do that we must assassinate??? That is sooooooooo wrong. Even Yoshimo complains, but we have no choise. On the way to Rayric Gerthras, the wizard's home Brus approached us, to tell the twenty thousan is now fifteen thousand gold, and we should most carefully, because the rival guild watch us. Short time after that, a girl, named Valen approached us, to tell, her mistress is great interest in us, and she will meet with us, at midnight in the Graveyard district.
This looks more darker as work with the shadow thieves, or she is safe from the Thieves only in the dark. It's required more investigating. But we are before Rayric Gerthras house. When we stepped in, some mephits attacked us. We killed them, but Jaheira needs some healing, which she gains it. We must most carefully, and quick, so we prepeared as much, we can, and runned up, in the arms of two stone golems, who died within a twenty second. We ran up, and faced the mage. Jaheira almost instntly casted some sort of insect swarm upon him, to neutralizing his spellcasting ability, I shoot him hasted, stronged, with Lathander's Blessing(The mage is evil, otherwise the spell wouldn't cast), with my bullet on the mage interrupt him before the insects reached him. We was totally succesfull, the mage can't cast a spell, and he died quickly.
When we went back, Edwin was delighted(I wasn't), and gave an another task, we must retrieve some documents, from a guy in the Sea Bounty. When we reached this tavern, Yoshimo went in, and used his magic on the guy. He threated him, and gained the required documents. We went back to Edwin, and he said, that Mae'Var has the final task for us. We must find and kill a betrayal. I was sick of this, but on the surface accept the task, but truly I thinked, how to rescue that guy, and to dishing Mae'Var. When we approached the guy on the Upper floor at the Sea Bounty, I found the Sollution. I let him flee, but I wanted his dagger, and became it, and succesfully dished Mae'Var. He sent us back to Edwin. Edwin said, that he knows, why we are here, and told, where can I found the evidences, and also gived a key. He also wanted to join us, but I turned down this request. We succesfully gathered the evidence of Mae'Vars betrayal, and gives to Renal. He asked us to eliminate Mae'Var. He, Maevar is a sadistic, psycho, so I happyly accepted the task. We went back a last time, and faced Mae'Var, and his goons.The battle wasn't though, but we sufferd some bad wounds from his backstabbing thieves. When we went back to Renal, he proposed us Mae'Var's guild. I declined it very getle, and received from him the another reward, Nice amount of money, and a well enchanted short sword. Another thing to sell. After Mae'Var we went to a church, fully heal, and went to rest, because it was a very hard day.
We woked up before sunrise, and we went out from the Copper Coronet Tavern, we found some thieflike guys, who trying to fight a woman. We heard their speach, and look clear, that the women is from the rival guild, and at the moonlight realized, that she is a vampire, so we help out the thieves, by killing the vampire. The thieves said, that the rival guild is full of vampires. Seeing their frightened face, we beleived that, so we will siding with the Shadow thieves. To do that, we went to Gaelan Bayle, and as planned we payed the 15000 gold, and he arranged us a meeting with the Athkathlan Shadowmaster, Aran Linvail. So we went to the Docks again, and when the sun rised, we arrived to the Shadow thief guildhouse. We found, and opened the secret door, what Gaelan was mentioned. Downstairs it was difficult to find don Linvail, but we succeded in it. In the meantime we found a treachorous thief, who left behind a lock-picker ring. When we met Aran, we realized that, he isn't evil, but he is an intelligent and cultivated person. He asked a few task, first, at night we shall find and protect one of his thief, Mook, and a shipment. We accepted the Task.
Before we went out, we found a hot, really hot nice blon half-elven girl, with incredible nice hm... "additional bodyparts" (This is, why I like to be a tall halfling), who is at the firs look some sort of ranger, two maces, woodlike leather armor, that sort of stuff. When I talked her, I realized, that she, Sime, has the most beuatiful voice ever heard, and she wants to join us!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOh thank you Lathander to hearing my prayers! And she is also priestess of Mielikki. She is not just incredible hot, but she shall be extremely good part of our team.
But to where shall we go? Maybe we shall help Nalia and/or lord Firkraag. On the way out of the city, at the gates we found a guy, who wants our help. His City, Trademeet is besieged by animals commanded by druids. Jaheira almost instantly spirited up, saying it is impossible without reason. So it looks, we are going to Trademeet.
When we arrived, some animals already attacked the city guards. What the hell is going here?
We talked with the Militia Captain, who sent us to the High Merchant, who said druids are controlling these animals, without a known reason, and we must help another druid, Cernd, on his task, investigating hese events here. We accepted the Task, and met Cernd, and go to the local Druid Grove. At the Entrance, a druid treated us, but when spoked with Cernd, it is clear, that an old acquaintance, the Shadow druid Faldorn from the Cloakwood Enclave has taked over in this grove. We should "take care" of her. On the way we encountered some very dangerous enemies. From when casting trolls divine spells??? It is trully scary. An we found much more of them, including in they mound. On the way we found a lot of druids with they spirit animal escort. This was an incrediblly hard fight. On a store Tower we found a scimitar, which is very pleased to Kachiko. In the neighboring house we found a which, who didn't look herself. Yoshimo did the trick, because to one of his attacks, the Which turned to a Rakshasa. We managed to kill it quickly, before it's newli appearing pals beginned to casting spells.We maked our way ahead, and our Athkathlan enemy's vampires found us, and tried to kill Sime. I killed the Vampires. It was very good, that I memorized a lot of Holy smites. Sime thanked a lot to defend her, and we convenced to stay with us, because it is the most safe to her staying with us, and she is a valuable companion, and maybe more. Now we are almost in the Grove, and we killed the entrance guards we stepped in. We expect an ambush, so we prepearad as much is possible. The ambush didn't came, but I am forced to a duel with Faldorn. I managed it thank to my preparations, so the Shadow druid leadership ends. Everybody thanked us. And after we rested. The most beatiful thing happened. Sime kissed us deeply. Oooohhhhhhh Lathander thank you. Oh before forgot the spirit of the grove asked some help to killing a troll shaman.
