Session #2 (10/01/2021) (07:00) NZDT.

**Location: Waterdeep (Sword Maiden Statue.)**

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

**Session Overview:**

Caesar catches up with the party. Explosions were preparations for the Freedom Festival tomorrow. We learn that there are guards in the Waterdeep force who don’t like being given orders from a “Wild Animal” (Scruffins) and that the feathers have shown up at many other crime scenes/robberies. Party was attacked by beings that ran away and into the sewers. Our party follows and is met with Kobolds wearing Leather Rat Cosplay. Find a mad scientist who has a deathrattle: “Freedom for Neverwinter.” We loot him and continue exploring the sewer. We came across a Clown-like-Figure who seems to terrify the Kobold populace, we manage to avoid a direct conflict but as he flees - he drops a bag. Upon inspection the bag contains a Noblewoman's hand that is wearing a ring with a raven insignia embellishment. The clown then once again opens the sewergate and drops a piece of parchment down with a gruesome laugh before closing the gate and disappearing once again. This piece of parchment seems to be a Wanted Poster with Renoas name on it. A kindly Kobold is waiting to show the way to “the two goblins that smell like rats and the human girl with a big hat.” From the exploration of the sewer, the party also gained many magical items to be divided amongst us once we’re safe.

**Notable Events:**

* The party investigates the explosions - They’re part of preparations for the Waterdeep Freedom Festival. There are many boats in the bay and many floating goblins, seeking to escape a sinking ship.
* A conversation with a Halfling Guard who tells us that there are many in the Waterdeep Guard Force who dislike taking orders from Scuffins - some going so far as to spit at her and call her a “Wild Animal.” He also mentions that the feathers have been showing up all around Waterdeep at crime scenes (mostly theft/robberies) and that to his knowledge nobody has been taken or hurt as of yet.
* Caesar is shot at and follows his assailant to the closest sewer gate. Sadly he is too large to fit through the opening and can not pursue. He noted three pairs of eyes from the gate watching him. Hemnon and Kieln attempt to apprehend a figure who has tried to invade Hemnons mind from a nearby rooftop. After a brief chase, this figure too enters the sewers.
* The Party enters the sewers and starts investigating, splitting up.
* Kieln a vial of a strange black inky substance that creates barnacles from moisture. He also finds the corpse of a mad scientist, who has a deathrattle “Freedom for Neverwinter.” Nirn loots the scientist.
* The party encounters a Squimblebit that seems to be guarding a crate of magical items.
* The party is made aware of a strange clown-like figure who seems to be terrorizing the kobold populace. They prepare to engage him, however this is not necessary as the figure retreats, leaving two items with a gruesome laugh.
* The first item is a bag of seawater that also contains the severed hand of a Noblewoman, wearing a ring with a raven insignia. The second is a wanted poster with Renoa’s picture and information on it.
* Nirn asks a Kobold to show her where “The goblins who smell like rats and the girl with the big hat” are.

**Notable Characters Met:**
