Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Session 2 recap!! - 1/22/2019

How the party becomes "Team Can't Flirt For Shit."

Note to players: Kymani (Cricket/Angelo/OG) is stepping back from his commitment to the game, I think I speak for everyone in the group when I say, I hope all works out for you and you can find yourself able to return back to the group when things settle down.

We find ourselves back in Waterdeep, the party of fool..erm heroes have now raided the warehouse of all the trash. Yossuck, has found a tiny treasure in the form of a paper bird, but he doesn't share the information about his findings with any of the party. Dirge, oh Dirge... He bravely opens doors and plummets to the ground. Of course taking damage, which was decidedly that his pig like orc nose now looks human, and it is a distasteful look to the dreamy Yagra. As the party is raiding the warehouse, footsteps can be heard outside, entering into the dark building is the Captain of the City Watch for the Dock Ward of Waterdeep, (Say that fast 3 times.) Captain Hyustus Staget (damn right I didn't tell you his first name, I wasn't even trying to pronounce his name.). Elias, ever the kidder and always seeming to find himself on the wrong side of the law, attempts and fails to hide from the Captain. He is called out, while Staget recognizes the nobleman they have just rescued. Renaer covers for them, not that it was necessary since it was a factual situation. Staget lets you all off with a warning to let the City Watch handle the crimes, though hints heavily that what happens in the sewers, isn't his job to handle. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Escorting Renaer home, the party, begrudgingly to Elias follow the main well lit streets, though the DM does have to remind our favorite rogue that Renaer just spent 48 hours in a darkened closet, after being bopped on the head and dragged thorugh town, which had he been conscious, unwillingly. He pays the party with a bag of gold dragons. (Again the currency, not the beasts) Totaling 255, (or broken down 51 dragons per player) as a thank you and to cover the cost of room and board at the Yawning Portal while they search for Floon. Yeah, remember him? He was their original quest, still on.

So returning to the Yawning Portal, the party is accosted by a very inebriated Volo. He's beside himself with grief and feels even more terrible to find that although they didn't find Floon, they did find Renaer, who no one even knew was missing. After sharing a drink and some kinda nice words to calm his angst, Volo scurries off to his own section of the tavern to abuse his liver further.

Now here is where it gets interesting...... >.>   <.< Sylvar has caught the attention of our dexterous monk.. though we find that his friendly advice isn't as smooth as the punches he throws. Her mysterious behavior and sweet innocence, to some might be an act, but for this young elf she knows no better, and Yossuck tries hard to explain this without trying to come off as ...a come on? She of course takes it harder than a dick, and storms off anger and hurt and confused. Door slam number one... In the meantime, poor Dirge, attempting to get Yagra's attention fails heavily and is headed off to bed with a wish in his heart. Sleeping in a straw pile, with a wood panel to separate them, Dirge is forced to listen to his love's deep snoring, and bask in the glory of her fumes eu Flatulence. Suffice it to say, he has trouble sleeping on his stomach through the night. ;)

Dawn brings on a new day, and a whole new set of issues, continuing with Dirge, he asks Bonnie, the barmaid for advice on how to rope Yagra's attention. Upon Bonnie's suggestion, he sends Yagra the biggest container of Stout. To which Dirge receives his first food encrusted, greasy faced smile from Yagra. (You go Glenn Co-Co!!). Some applause, and a bucket for me to throw up in... Thanks.

Yossuck, having received his breakfast in bed, finds a note from Bonnie, with a tiny potted plant, urging him to give a gift with his apology to Sylvar. Heading off to her room, he knocks and politely asks for a moment of her time. She, after scurrying to cover her freshly cleaned body up, to hide her secret, she expresses her sadness for his words that she misunderstood. He stumbles over his apology. They come to the understanding that he did not mean his words how her brain had taken them. He offers her the plant Bonnie offered him, to which in her excitement, Sylvar reached out with her hand covered in scales to accept. Realizing immediately her mistake, she pulled her hand back and slammed the door in his face, expressing that he needed to go away. He caught a glimpse of her hand and realized that the scales must be part of her secret and although was still confused as to her quick change in demeanor walked back down to the dining room, defeated and mildly confused.

Elias having heard all of the exchange, though hadn't seen the details of the situation, he headed down stairs looking quite disheveled and sleep deprived. Not catching Sylvar reaching out to grab the gift left at her door. Elias arrives with the rest of the members of his group whom have wakened and made their way down to the tavern area, still in though as to how to navigate the sewers, which seems to be their only lead to Floon's possible whereabouts. He shifts through his maps at the table making no real effort to engage in the drama of desires the other men have seemed to found themselves in.

Renaer enters the tavern as Sylvar comes to join the group, Bonnie, ever the meddler removes all but one seat for Sylvar, having placed her breakfast beside Yossuck, forcing her to either be blatantly rude in front of all the seeing eyes, which wouldn't do for a girl of her mannerism, or take a seat embarrassing next to Yossuck.  Deciding manners over pride, she takes a seat and focuses heavily on her meal before her. At which time Bonnie comes over and returns the extra chairs, to give Renaer a place to sit.

We interrupt this recap to bring you a special announcement..

And now for the explanation of Kymani's sudden disappearance from the party for good...I mean now......

Kymani (who has been silent and MIA mentally most of this journey since the previous combat) takes a seat with his party, but quickly after inhaling his breakfast, heads off to find his friend Obaya, and doesn't return to the group again, allowing his new found friends to forget he existed. So sad...

And scene, and back to our committed player...

Elias explains his potential findings to those listening in the group (i think he did at least.) Which means a journey to the sewers. WOOOH!!! Can't wait to smell you all when you return!

Yossuck deciding that he needed some provisions before they descend to the depths of Waterdeep's sewer and asks Sylvar if she would accompany him to the Market. Elias speaks up that he's like to go, but Yossuck, desperate to make things right with the pretty elf, shoots Elias a look, pleading that he shut the hell up and instead Elias hands over some dragons asking him to pick him up a few vials of healing potion. Hearing this, Dirge asks for the same, and without any more requests, Yossuck and Sylvar head off in a carriage to the Market. Retirieving their items they need, they converse and seem to come to a better understanding between them, the heated misunderstanding forgotten and a friendship, (maybe more, wink wink) is forged.

The party will start with their exit from the Yawning Portal, where they will head to the South Ward and travel through the sewers, hoping to find Floon and potentially stop an enemy of the magnificent City of Splendors!!!
