TNoW - Session Zero

Session #0 (27/12/2020) (07:00) NZDT.

**Location: Waterdeep. (Black Dog Inn.)**

Caesar/Hemnon/Kieln/Guilliman/Nirn/Renoa/Raoul.

**Session Overview.**

Our Player Characters entered Waterdeep from the various entrances and were given bracelets with a purple gem on them and asked to wear them for a few weeks. While wandering we met notable characters (see below) and eventually ended up being given strange coins with the symbol of the Black Dog Inn on the back. We were told by the people who gave them to us that this would give us a free room for the night at the “Black Dog Inn'' and so we went there and turned our coins over to Barrten and were given room keys in exchange. We are now waiting for night to fall and an explanation from Barrten.

**Notable Events:**

* Having one of the Black Dog Inn coins in your possession, prevents you from being able to enter other Inns/Lodges. It created an invisible wall denying entry.
* Casting magic whilst wearing one of the purple gemmed bracelets causes it to emit bright light and calls the nearest guard to your location. The guards can turn off the bright light once the situation resolves itself.
* When some of our PC’s were given coins the words “Experimentation/Experiment'' were mentioned. Barrten has asked our PC’s to wait downstairs in the Inn until nightfall, promising to explain then.
* **Lord Capscan** was met in person by **Renoa** who then *offered her a job causing destruction and even bodily harm to the Black Dog Inn and it’s building/owner/workers.* He mentioned he could *tidy up any legal ramifications* from such and would *pay her a great sum of money*. He also disclosed that he condones espionage and smuggling within Waterdeep and seems to be very affluent. He also mentioned that he thinks of **Eynd Birchwood** as an upstart and does not like the fact that *she is not of noble birth/used coin to buy her seat*. He also removed **Renoas** purple gemmed bracelet.
* **Renoa** Talked with the **Sword Maiden Statue “Thorn”** and told her she’d look into ways to turn her from a spirit into a living being once more.
* Our assassin **Hemnon** attempted to insert a coin into a Warforged like he was a vending machine. He also *broke into a Realtors Office following a lead on **Capscan***. He has disclosed that he seeks to *kill* **Surious Capscan** who had a *hand in the murder of his parents*.
* **Kieln** helped a man who was being *pickpocketed* by a *changeling* who used **Kielns** own face when the guard arrived. He used magic and caused his purple gemmed bracelet to light up. This *changeling* was known to the guards as a repeat offender.
* **Nirn** had a conversation with the Dragonborn **Raoul Sokka** at the bar and he instantly started talking about his previous relationships and how they’ve not worked out.
* **Nirn** had **Netara** perform Heart Sight on **Guilliman** and **Kieln** with their permission which gave her insight into their alignments. **Nirn** shared some of the history of her kind with them. **Guilliman** is Chaotic Neutral and **Kieln** is Chaotic Neutral.
