Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Session Six Recap!! 2/19/2019

The session brings us again with introductions to new people and good bye to others. Our Critical Fails heading to the opera to watch the Fall of Tiamat,  sung in Giant. During the intermission, Marvo went to Private Box C and met with Mirt, who offered him entry into the faction The Harpers. (See Handout for full information on this faction.) He accepted and was given a mission to seek out a talking horse and gain information from her. "One of the drays working in the city is pulled by a talking mare named Maxeene. Locate her, find out if she's learned the identity of any Zhent operatives, and if so, determine their whereabouts."  At the end of the show, Vjara, the Blackstaff comes to the party, with two dwarves, Torgus Hillclimber, an Eldritch Knight Fighter, and Azril Poldark, an Oath of the Ancients Paladin. Tamshu went back to theBlackstaff and claimed the party needed more "meat shields". And the couple being professionals offered up their services, to see if they could maybe find a place with this ragtag team. Inviting them back to the manor, the group heads to the manor for some rest and relaxation, which most got while Torgus raids the wine, with the help of Azril.  They head to bed and the next morning, the entire group must fend for themselves, Togus having insulted Lif and the music box that Tamshu had made for him as an apology for burning the bar top. While all were eating and discussing their activities for the day, Marvo dons his disguise with expert care. Taking on the persona of an old woman named Edith, he headed off to see a horse about a man, or woman. Several hours of travels and asking questions and eavesdropping he finds Maxeene, eating happily in her stall. She is resistant at first but then she tells him, after a bribe of an apple and the old woman persistence, about a human man and half orc woman, speaking of hiring spies to root out Xanathar Guild hideouts in the city. From her descriptions of these folk Marvo recognizes the man as Davil Starsong, and the female orc as Yagra Stonefist. (Dirge is gonna be sad.) Going to the Yawning Portal, which is where Yagra is usually found and where Maxeene dropped off the two in question, Marvo finds Mirt at the bar relaying the information. For this job, Marvo receives 1 renown for the Harpers.  

During Marvo's travels the group back at home decide to explore the neighborhood once again, particularly the Book Wyrm's Treasure.  As they traveled toward the end of their street, a dressed as a commoner stands outside a small building, begins speaking angrily at the entire group. "So you're the group who bought my manor." He introduces himself as Emmek Frewn and states that Volo took the building out from under him. (He doesn't openly suggest that he hates the group, but he is hostile and adamant that Trollskull Manor was supposed to be his.) He goes on to accusing the group of taking his property and in a very aggressive manner tells them that they will not be good in their business and they will pay for taking his building. He intends to open his own inn and tavern named Frewn's Brews and although the building is smaller than Trollskull Manor, he fails to realize the goldmine he is sitting on, given he has less work to do to his place. Once he realizes he is outnumbered and his threats have crossed a line, he runs into his home and locks himself in and refuses to open up for the dwarves when they decide they want to scope out the inside of his tavern. After a bit of harassment on the dwarves part, they leave Emmek alone and head to the book store. The owner, the gold dragonborn named Rishaal the Page-Turner, delighted and kind as always greets his neighbors happily. Sylvar reminds him of his promise to search his collection of books, which he produces a large leather bound book, titled: Dragon's Lengends, Lores and Myths. He expresses that the book is old, and his only copy and that he will happily lend it to her, but she must return it and take great care with the book. Delighted she heads deeper into the shop to search for the manor's first book, choosing a gaming book called Dungeons & Dragons. Yossuck also asks about the information he requested of the shop owner and is handed a child's picture book titled: Baphomet: Demon Lord of the Minotaur. Buying the book he gives Rishaal a list of topics he would like information on, Carpentry, stone working and glassblowing.  Rishaal promises to seek out some books for him that he will have handy for him when he returns. For Dirge, he sells him a book titled: A Cleric's Guide to Saving Lives.

As the group heads out of the shop, Azril accosts an old woman as she heads west down the street, although her intentions are good and she is mainly concerned for the safety of her new found group. (I think, or hope that was it.) Unbeknownst to Azril this woman was Edith, Marvo in disguise. Once Edith convinces Azril that she is in fact a harmless old lady, Edith winks at her and mentions meeting again. During dinner back at the manor, which Lif has cleaned and prepared food for all, thanks to Renaer sending a delivery of food and drink for the group for a couple of weeks, Marvo repeats his comment to Azril with a wink. This triggers a mistrust with Azril and she decides while Marvo heads out to "tend to the cats", she is going to investigate his belongings. She enters his room, attempting to be quiet, she finds his room is now a make shift sex dungeon. She heads quickly to his bathroom, and finds the prosthetics and cloak made of the wheat and corn sacks, which confirms her suspicions that Marvo is up to something and Master of Disguises. She quickly leaves his room and heads back to her own. Once Marvo is finished with the cats he returns with 7 men, bringing them to his room and getting them settled, then donning some assless chaps, no shirt, and a Freddy Mercury stage prance, goes room to room to invite his party members to his last minute orgy. Sylvar, Azril, Torgus, Dirge andYossuck all decline as politely as possible, though he expresses his door is "open" should anyone change their minds. Loud porn music plays through the night, and those who are not involved in the sex fest, cope with it how they can.
