2020-09-25: Juiced! (Part 5)

August 7 (Friday midmorning)

After the events of the previous day, you'd think our lovely band of adventurers would catch a break. BUT YOU WOULD BE MISTAKEN! Messages, insights and calls to action proliferate throughout the party.

Lucky receives a letter from Miss Mavis asking for a favor:

"Lucky, can you and your friends help me find a crystalline energy amplifier? I need one for a restoration project. They're worth a hefty price, but I'll gladly reimburse if you find one."

Norm, meanwhile, has learned that Yance Elbereth is convalescing at SHART HQ. The time to strike against his assassination target is nigh!

Spleenifer has learned through meditation and spiritual attunement that the waterskin from the monk is a type of holy water and the decorative bowl is actually a bowl of Commanding Water Elementals. And on Spleenifer's first day of official work as Mayor Dunwall's assistant, she has been asked for her input how best to solicit donations to help the Mayor with reelection.

Q (going as Jay on this auspicious day) found a note under their door:

"From one bard to another, here's a piece of advice: never trust a Stout you can't drink. I have Stout problems of my own, if ever you want to meet for a pint at the usual bard hangouts. I'm easy to find, since the scales stand out. -Kadana Meristan"

Everyone splits up to start on their respective tasks, so let's follow one adventurer at a time and see where things lead!

Up first we have have Jay, and they strike out for the Juicy Lyre tavern to meet up with the mysterious author of the letter. Kadana, an attractive dragonborn, is nursing a pint while composing a song on the back of a playbill. After Jay takes a seat, she explains that Lawrence Stout was once her patron. But like Jay, she got into some hot water when things got a little too close between Kadana and Russell Stout. The younger Stout seems to have a habit of fraternizing with the arts (as the euphemism goes). But in Kadana's case, her arts funding got cut off as punishment.

Jay and Kadana muse for a bit on strategies to get back at Lawrence and/or Russell. The best way to strike back seems to be breaking up the Stout family businesses, but neither of them are quite sure how to go about doing that. Kadana excuses herself to attend to some other bardly matters, but it's clear that Kadana is playing this as a playful round of hard to get. Folks, we're seeing the beginnings of a beautiful friendship (and possible romance)!

But we must fade to black for now and pick up on Spleenifer's tale! She's back at the Mayoral Manor to discuss the upcoming election strategy. On the way over to the Mayor's place, she found a slightly-charred scrap of paper that probably fell out of someone's pocket during the events of last night. It reads: "You promised me I could use the ring to fix my problem. -Rooney"

Spleenifer stuffs the scrap in her pocket and focuses on the task at hand with the mayor. Since Zaribeth Quickfingers is mounting an unexpectedly strong campaign (though really, any campaign at all is probably unexpectedly strong against Dunwall), the incumbent mayor needs to take the special election preparations seriously. Spleenifer suggests mounting a spin campaign to solicit donations, but her methods are a bit... unorthodox:

"Make it say incontinent instead of incumbent!"

That'll surely take away from the discontent brewing about the mayor's presumed incompetence! What's a giant dung beetle to do? Approve the suggestion and blast it out across town, of course!

Now we switch POV to Lucky, who suggested at the start of the adventure that the party should investigate an unusual announcement in today's Brownstone Bugle where the Meyrick family was looking to hire someone to kidnap their daughter for ransom. But Lucky isn't abandoning Miss Mavis's task! In her words, she's gonna try to kill two stones with one bird.

Lucky is already familiar with crystalline energy amplifiers, and knows they can be found in certain naturally occurring crystal deposits. The catch is that only the biggest crystals (worth at least 1,000GP) can function as a proper amplifier, but she's got a lead on a potential source in a mine about 10 miles east of town. If Lucky can win the audition to kidnap the daughter, she could potentially stash her quarry in the mine while looking for crystals.

She knocks on the the door of the Meyrick estate, and the butler escorts her Mr. Meyrick's study. Mr. Meyrick is a skinny man with wild hair that is graying at the temples. If Gary Busey was a used car salesman and the characters knew what car salespeople were, that's what everyone would say the elder Meyrick looks like.

Mr. Meyrick asks Ms. Lucky Proudfoot what her plans for his daughter are, and she explains the plan. She also plans to scurry off to the mines in a mobile house on chicken legs for extra dramatic flair. The daughter can work in the mines hunting crystals while waiting for the ransom payment to arrive. Meyrick thinks this is an excellent plan and hires Lucky on the spot. He just needs some time to subdue his daughter before she'll be ready for the exchange. Come back later this evening, he says, and she'll be Lucky's problem for the next few hours.

Now's the perfect time to switch over to Norm, who's sneaking his way to where Yance is staying. The recently-concussed trader of illicit antiquities is laying on a cot staring at the ceiling. Norm applies some of the St. Ignatius's Re-Dead Juice to his dagger and moves in for the kill. But Yance rolls over just as Norm enters the room and makes eye contact.

All is not lost, though! Norm shifts into playing the part of an ally who is checking in on him after the concussion. "How many fingers am I holding up?" Norm asks. He goes through a series of simple tests and then "checks for bumps" on the back of Yance's head. That's when Norm makes a tiny nick at the base of Yance's hairline with his poison-coated dagger. Yance passes away seconds later, peacefully slumping back onto the cot.

Sounds of a loud scuffle erupt outside, and from Norm's vantage point, it appears to be a fight between five drunken sailors and a sober-seeming ship's officer. Despite being split up, the rest of the party is close enough to hear the sounds of the brawl and everyone converges on the scene.

Lucky triggers a wild surge and casts Suggestion on one of the sailors, telling him to "make love, not war." Every time she blinks, a duck appears nearby. The sailor under the influence of Lucky's Suggestion grabs a fellow sailor by the arms and pulls him over for a deep kiss. The sailor on the receiving end of the kiss is surprisingly receptive to the romantic gestures, and they stumble away from the fray to keep the passion burning.

Norm exits his building, dashing through alleyways so as to make it look as though he came from a completely different building. There's a drunken brawl and a separate manly make-out session and at least a dozen ducks by this point. What the heck is happening here?

Spleenifer, having been a sheltered woman of faith, has never seen men kiss before. She grabs a duck and announces to her newfound companion: "Let's watch together!" Regardless of the duck's opinion on the matter, it's along for the ride. The passionate pirates are flattered by Spleenifer's audience, but their ships don't really sail that way, if you catch their drift.

While all this chaos is unfolding, Lucky has a bit more fuel to add to the fire. She drops her suggestion and casts invisibility on two pirates and the officer. It's hard to fight when you can't see each other, right? Well, it does stop the fight for the most part, as the two invisible pirates stumble off to rob a bank with their newfound invisibility powers.

The remaining pirate is lifted up by an invisible force (spoiler: it's the captain) and slapped. Now the captain's visible again and orders him to return to the Rising Howl, their ship that is currently docked until the river rises high enough to let them sail. Spleenifer grabs another duck from the flock (now called Prongle), while still restraining the original duck (now named T'Pam) in her sturdy arms. She manages to coax them into pecking at each other like they're kissing.

Norm dashes over to where the sailors were fighting and is nearly overpowered by the stench of alcohol. He pulls out a match lights it to see just how much of a drunken cloud the sailors left behind. Lucky adds a little pizzazz to the situation with a little bit of flammable luck, and the cloud ignites in an impressive cloud of flame in the air that leads in the direction of the fleeing sailors. Jay leaps in front of the two kissing sailors to shield their love from the explosion.

Once things calm down (always only briefly in this town), the party swings by the general store for some pickaxes for their upcoming mining expedition. Not wanting T'Pam and Prongle to feel left out, Spleenifer fashions some miniature pickaxes out of twigs to give to the ducks. Lucky snags a caterpillar cocoon (foreshadowed magical purposes!) on the way to contact the lizardfolk to borrow their house.

At the Meyrick estate, Mr. Meyrick greets the party and directs them to a wagon containing a tied-up sleeping giantess (technically half-giantess, but still LORGE). Once their "hostage" is safely aboard the house, the party contemplates what to do.

"I've never done kidnapping before," asks Lucky "but is it reasonable to ask for her emancipation?" But that is soon answered once the giantess wakes up. Lucky is able to communicate with her, and learns that the giantess's name is Tina. She's well-spoken and her family loves her a lot. This whole kidnapping thing is a publicity stunt to get some sponsorship deals. The house gallops toward the mine, reaching the entrance after about 20 minutes.

Tina agrees to help the party mine for crystalline amplifiers and takes up a pickaxe along with the rest of the party. Lucky uses the cocoon to transform herself into an umber hulk with a sweet, sweet burrowing speed. But after some time has passed, a group of eight drunken brigands arrives at the mine's entrance to hide out.

Norm puts down his pickaxe and sneaks toward the boisterous brigands to assess the situation. One of the group has a rucksack full of books, while the rest carry sacks of more conventional treasure. As Norm listens in from the shadows, he learns that the treasure comes from their recent break-in of Salem's.

The sound of picks against stone catches the attention of the brigands, who drop their spoils and tread deeper into the tunnels. A massive chunk of crystal has just been unearthed, and it could function as a quality crystalline amplifier if it can be completely excavated. However, that's the time the drunkards show up. One of them makes obscene and probably physiologically incompatible advances at Tina and a fight soon breaks out.

Smites, spells, and sneak attacks smash into the metaphorically-smashed sailors. Lucky's burrowing triggers a small tunnel collapse, and her confusing gaze disorients even more of the sailors. Spleenifer smacks at the base of the crystal to uproot it before the tunnel collapses further, and soon the party emerges victorious.

Mr. Meyrick arrives to collect his daughter just as the last brigands flee into the night. He mentions that the sponsorship deal fell through, though he still brought the promised ransom. Maybe they'll be able to collaborate on another scheduled kidnapping in the future? Who knows!

The party searches through the stuff left behind by the brigands and finds wealth of many types. Material wealth in the form of gold and gems is most obvious here, but there is also informational wealth. Among the books that were stolen from Salem's is a copy of Zaribeth's accounting ledger. As in, the true version that depicts all the shady stuff going on with Zaribeth's businesses.

With that realization, the adventure concludes for the night and everyone advances to level 12. Stay tuned next time for more!

Something Evil This Way Comes (Part 5)

Title: Something Evil This Way Comes. (Part 5)

Author: Grainne x

Pairing: Harry Hook x Reader

Synopsis: Part 5 to the Harry Hook Mini Series. Ben and the Gang go to the Isle to get Mal and Y/N back. However a certain run in with a certain Pirate means someone needs to go see the Captain before the King is fed to the crocodiles.

A/N: Apologises about the absolute lateness of this post. Time ran away with me. When they say life throws apples and oranges at you they don’t exactly make lemonade so I had some figuring out to do. But alls sorted now. Hope you enjoy this... I really need to get these two together I swear i’m trying but shit happens in between. Let me know what you think. Much Love G xx 💜

Part One / Part Two / Part Three / Part Four.

 Y/N left the hide-away and began to get in touch with her old home. She walked past the stalls of people selling bits and bobs, little Knick knacks and junk, smiling fondly as she ran through here causing mayhem with Harry not more than a year ago.

 Just as the thought of Harry popped into her head so did the actual Harry pop out of nowhere. Y/N crashed into the solid body falling backwards, saved by the two hands who caught her by the waist.

Y/N met Harry’s eyes, a growl biting at the back of her throat. Standing up Y/N noticed Harry hadn’t removed his hands yet, so she smacked his hands off and side stepped him moving further into the town.

 Harry followed the trail of the girl who completely stunned him every time. He ran after her

“Hey now Y/N/N what’s the hurry?”

“None of your business Hook”

The emphasis on Hook should’ve been an indicator to Harry, Y/N never used his last name unless it was teasing or a joke.

Harry shook it off and tried again “Oh did ye wake up on the wrong side of tha ship?”

Y/N growled halting her journey “Go away Harry”

Y/N walked off again, but Harry insisted on going to.

 “Uma wants ta see ye” Y/N paused hesitantly before moving forward

“No, she doesn’t. She doesn’t even know I’m here.”

Harry ran forward to stop Y/N from waling further. “Now how do ye know tha?”

“Because, if Uma knew I was here she’d know where to find me. She’s always known; therefore, she doesn’t know. You haven’t told her”

“Well aren’t ye the insightful” Harry grinned

“Goodbye Harry” Y/N called out as she maneuvered her way deep into the crowds.

 Meanwhile….

 “Okay once we cross the bridge, park under the pier in the old garage got it?” Evie said as she Jay, Carlos and Ben made their way to the Isle.

“Got It” Jay said starting the limo up and heading for the bridge.

They parked exactly where Evie said to park, concealing the limo with tarps so it didn’t stand out any more than it already did.

 “Hey what’s in, here?” Ben questioned the old drainage pipe. He could smell the sea and hear the sound of water which made him curious.

Jay panicked and hurried over to Ben “You don’t wanna know”

“Hey, guys keep, it chill alright? Last thing we need is our parents finding out where here” Carlos motioned as they made their way deeper into the isle.

 Y/N lay on her stomach sketching in her old book new ideas for dresses and clothes, just because she wasn’t in Auradon anymore didn’t mean she couldn’t sketch. Besides she rather enjoyed it now.

 Mal was decorating the hideout a bit more. Trying to keep her mind off Ben and the others no doubt, she was adding the final touches to the Muriel when a voice caught them both off guard.

“At least I don’t see a picture of me with horns and a pitch fork” Ben laughed awkwardly

Y/N nearly fell off the sofa when she actually saw Ben standing there in clothes no suitable for a King. Y/N sat up on her knees “Let me guess. Evie” Y/N pointed to the outfit

Ben nodded and looked at Mal. Taking that as a sign Y/N pointed towards the door “I’ll be out here”

 Y/N raced down the stairs fearing for the worst. Her sister and the gang would be there. Her fears where confirmed when she saw the three faces.

“Damn it Evie” Y/N groaned

When Evie saw Y/N she enveloped her in a tight hug “Thank god you’re okay”

“Course I’m okay Evie, I just wish you’s hadn’t have come” Y/N pushed her sister back

Jay and Carlos looked on confused.

“Why??” Carlos asked

“You’s brought Ben. What in the world were you thinking? He could be kidnapped. Did anyone see him?”

Carlos and Jay winched at the thought of Gill.

Evie nodded solemnly

Y/N sighed “Who?”

“Gil” they all answered in unison

 “Damn it. He’s a big mouth” Y/N huffed. Just as Y/N finished her sentence Ben came down looking disappointed.

“Where’s Mal?” Evie asked

“She’s not coming back” Ben finished disappointedly, walking away from the hideout.

“No surprise. I told you guys we don’t fit in” Y/N pointed out

“What!” Evie shouted

“No you’s do. I’ll talk to her” Evie stalked towards the microphone.

“Evie” Y/N called

“M? Mal it’s Evie. Let me just talk to you for a second. Mal come on” Evie whispered.

“Go away” Mal shouted.

Jay grabbed Evie “Let’s give her a couple of hours to cool off”

 Y/N scoffed “Try forever, she doesn’t wanna go back. I don’t wanna go back, get over it”

Y/N stormed up the steps but she only made it half way when she heard Ben’s name being mentioned.

“Guys” Carlos called out

“Where’s Ben?”

“Ben?” Evie called out worriedly

“Damn it” Y/N muttered stamping back down the stairs

“Do not tell me you lost the King” Y/N growled

“Ben?” Evie called again looking into the smoked and darkness of the alleyway.

“Ben. Don’t scare us like that” Evie sighed with relief

 But the voice that followed sent chills up Y/N spine

“Don’t scare you? But that’s my speciality” Harry grinned widely as he stepped out from the shadows and smoke.

“Harry”

“What did you do with Ben?” Jay barked

Harry grinned even more, winking at Y/N as she watched him closely for any sign of a clue. Y/N always knew how to read him.

“Oh um, we nicked him” he teased

“Mm-mmm yea and if you want to see him again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight. Uma wants a little visit. You too Pumpkin” Harry grinned at Y/N

 “Aww Jay seems like you’ve lost your touch” Harry teased

Jay growled jumping at Harry only to be stopped by Evie “JAY”

Harry cackled mischievously focusing his attention on Carlos “HEY” he barked.

One final wink at Y/N and he walked off into the shadows whistling.

Y/N looked at the three defeated faces “You’s can tell Mal”

 Y/N threw her legs over the edge of the chair, filing her nails as Mal gave the gang the riot act.

“If you guys never would have brought him here, this never would have happened. What were you thinking?”

“He was going to come with or without us. We just wanted to protect him” Evie defended

Y/N scoffed “Nice job so far”

“She’s right and we completely blew it guys” Carlos stated

“Okay. Okay. So, what are we gunna do?” Jay asked trying to calm everyone.

 Mal looked on disbelief “We are not doing anything. This is between Uma and me”

“And me” Y/N raised her hand in the air “She wants to see me too”

“Yea well she’s a punk. And guess what? We” Mal pointed at Y/N and herself “Have to go get him”

 “Whoa, whoa, whoa Mal you’s still have to go through Harry Hook and his warf rats” Y/N stood up smoothing down her dress “That’s what I’m for idiots” Y/N smirked

“And they’re not warf rats” Y/N defended.

“Your still gunna need us” Jay declared

Mal sighed “Uma said just us two”

“Mal come on”

“You heard Harry, Evie. Uma doesn’t mess around when she says us two, it just us two.” Y/N quipped

“Well I know one thing, I’m not going anywhere” Carlos stated slumping back onto the sofa.

“We’ll be here when you’s both get back” Jay finished.

Y/N grabbed Mals arm heading for the door.

 As they reached the entrance to Goblins Warf, Mal stopped Y/N in her tracks “You sure about this?”

Y/N shook her head “Nope but I don’t have no choice” They made their way to Ursula’s fish and chip shop.

“Dreadfuls first” Y/N teased pointing at the doors,

“Hilarious” Mal grinned pushing open the doors.

 “I’M BACK” Mal sang as she entered. Y/N could hear Uma scoff “Loser. Party of one right this way please”

Y/N took a few deep breaths before pushing her way into the shop.

She stood for a few seconds on the top step, looking around for Harry and caught his eye at the back booth. He winked, so she smirked back at him.

She turned to face Uma and Mal who were seated at the closest table

“Make that a party of two” She called out

 Uma snapped her head around so fast, you could hear the crack in her neck. Whatever she was saying to Mal was long forgotten. Her best friend was stood before her. And man did she miss her.

“Well looky here something wicked this way comes.” Uma teased.

“Evil. Something Evil this way comes” Y/N said face as cold as stone. Uma laughed at Y/N’s joke, Y/N’s face gave in, she never could be angry at Uma.
