WoDaD Session 4

== Title ==
Drastic Consequences
== Recap ==
Bran tries to convince Merric to work with him and do things "the easy way," but the halfling refuses and attacks with a strange crossbow pulled out from under the deck. Bran recognizes the weapon (along with the rest of the cargo) as highly illegal Astrodonian equipment from his native country, Liirac. With Merric being tied up, the scene de-escalates quickly and Bran works on a strange glyph on the deck.
Later, the party reaches Corodun City, a port town situated on the large Corodun Lake and intersecting with the Kylamore River. While the main temple of the city and the nearby Daybreak Hold are beautiful and extravagant, the rest of the city is plain and just a bit dirty. As they approach, they hectically try to reach a plan to little effect, though they do agree that Uthal deserves his dream of getting a boat of his own.
As soon as the party has stepped onto the docks (including Merric, who escapes invisibly), the guards check the boat, activating Bran's rune and causing an explosion which tears apart the flatboat and instantly kills the two guards, Bob and Jenny. As other sailors and guards rush over, Adrian distracts them with magic to help the party escape - but Bran submits to arrest and confesses, immediately regretting his actions when Uthal says that the two victims were kind and seemingly innocent. Soon after reaching a cell, Bran is confronted by a crooked guard who forces him down beneath the city to meet "the Boss."
Meanwhile, the rest of the party with Adrian heads to the southern docks and gets some quick shopping done (literally just one tent). They all reach the Murky Water Inn, a small building full of hardened fishermen and loyal regulars. Earl Dankworth, the owner of the inn, reluctantly serves them before his half-Tabaxi daughter, Lee Kh'ush Dankworth, much more enthusiastically helps them. When Adrian finally asks about Allexus Silverstone - whom the party was sent here to meet - 'Lex rushes out of the inn. 
Yorsog (drunk), Chi Pin (also drunk), and Amros all rush out after Allexus, who dives into various crowds and exits as an entirely new person each time. Still, after an awkward chase scene, Amros tackles Allexus and convinces her to help them as long as they go back to the inn. When Chi finds Adrian in one of the inn's rooms, the follower of Shar is abruptly taken over by a creepy, shadowy voice who claims that "It is not time, but know that [Chi Pin is] mine." When Adrian is told, he welcomes Chi Pin to the family of Shar's chosen.
