We Know Where You Sleep

The Acquaintances With Weapons suffer an attack at their home base and must investigate a similar attack on Nangalore.

## Major Plot Points

* Voloth, Vlad, Peggy, Stzu San, Dani, Sudsy, and Calypso brought Slade to Queen Maxima and her Council for questioning.
* Voloth used Charm Person and Princess Diana used Zone of Truth on him. Vlad then posed as a real angel to get him to confess his sins and try to save his soul.
* They learned that he was a commander in the Flaming Fist. His daughter escaped the blaze the SWW started but died defending the city against Maxima’s forces.
* Sudsy used illusion magic to make his dead daughter, Rose, “appear.”
* They were able to get the names of the new Seven Merchant Princes
	+ Highfather Zitembe, the Merchant Prince of Magic, and leader of the Sons of Savras.
	+ Slade Wilson, the Merchant Prince of War.
	+ Arachne Sana, the Merchant Prince of Plants.
	+ Captain Eurin Gayjoy, the Merchant Prince of the Seas.
	+ Azaka Stormfang, the Merchant Prince of Beasts.
	+ Xandala Bloodmoon, the Merchant Prince of Finery.
	+ Leliana Whyte, the Merchant Prince of Subterfuge.
* Slade agreed to write a letter to Zitembe to arrange a meeting so that AWW could ambush him.
* Vlad, angry about his demotion from First Knight, challenged Princess Diana to a duel. She was eager to spar since she’s hardly had the time after moving to Port Nyanzaru. She quickly defeated Vlad.
* The entire AWW party bet against Vlad. Syndra Silvane rewarded them with magic items and cash.
	+ 5,000 gold pieces
	+ Stzu San received a folding boat, which is a small origami boat but turns into a medium sized boat when placed in water.
	+ Peggy received stiletto combat boots, giving her +1 AC. They don’t count as armor.
	+ Voloth received a Fireball necklace with 5 beads.
	+ Calypso received X-ray glasses.
	+ Dani received the necronomicon, allowing her to cast Vampiric Touch, Raise the Dead, and Bestow Curse one time each per long rest.
	+ Sudsy received Beserker Claws, which give him +1 AC and adds 1D6 slashing damage to unarmed attacks.
* The party had the night free and went out on the town after their interrogation.
	+ Calypso and Stzu San went to a bar to party.
	+ Vlad and Dani went to the brothel.
	+ Voloth went to experiment with making grenades with crystal shrapnel.
	+ Peggy went to a dive bar to pick up a man.
	+ Sudsy went into the sewer to hunt rats.
* Vlad and Dani arrived home first. Mid-hump, they heard windows breaking and Ivy screaming in the basement. The home had been attacked by the same Savras Fanatics who ambushed Black Siren’s going away party.
* The Savras Fanatics attacked Vlad and Dani, destroyed furniture, and lit fires around the house. The rest of the party made it home in time to help defeat the Fanatics and save most of the home and Ivy.
* Ivy is now very attracted to Peggy since she saved her.
* AWW’s kitchen, dining room, and basement laboratory were destroyed in the attack. The rest of the mansion was heavily damaged
* The party questioned one of the masked assailants and she revealed that Slade’s letter was a coded warning alerting that he’d been captured. She warned that other strikes were happening at the queen’s palace and Syndra Silvane’s house.
* When AWW arrived at the queen’s home, the attack was over and the Savras Fanatics were all killed in the courtyard. Syndra Silvane, however, arrived and shared she barely escaped and her home had been destroyed, including her teleportation circle and her magical item library.
* An Aarakocra general appeared and said he received a sending stone message from Nangalore that the Aarakocra scouts there were attacked by the Yuan-Ti.
* AWW went to investigate the Nangalore attack.
* Random Encounters:
	+ Lardia, Nolard’s ex-girlfriend, she gave a sending stone to Voloth and said he should text her after he had too much wine. Vlad told her about Nolard’s death.
	+ A goblin camp made up of elderly men and women and young children. Their elder, Grab Stab, shared that their village was attacked by Tinder. She was searching for her missing gold and killed most of their people. The party told them to head towards Port Nyanzaru for refuge.
	+ The Amandas who were seen boating and dressed like pirates. They capsized and Sudsy stole their pet parrot
	+ Sudsy “trained” (read: tortured) the parrot and named him Reek.
	+ At Peggy’s urging, Vlad tried to grab Reek and convince him to fly away, but he accidentally ripped off Reek’s leg. He then broke his neck to put him out of his misery. After being thrown into the river, a bass ate him.
	+ The party gaslit Sudsy into thinking there never was a parrot.
* AWW arrived in Nangalore and discovered its garden to be completely burned down and found a dozen dead eblis. Four Yuan-Ti soldiers ambushed them.
* A fifth one arrived after the fight was over and surrendered to the party. She revealed that the Merchant Princes and Yuan-Ti became allies after Varysss sold information about Nangalore to them. She agreed to pose as AWW’s captor and take them to where Varysss was hiding. She said Zalkore was taken there and that Thiru-Taya’s ghost was exorcised.
* In the Yuan-Ti hideout, the party freed captive slaves after slaying a basilisk. In a makeshift temple, they saw Yuan-Ti priestesses doing some kind of ritual around Thiru-Taya’s urn. They decided to stay undercover as prisoners and not engage. They also saw Belvedere who had transformed his body since their last encounter. His arms are now made up of several snakes and he wears a very high ponytail styled to look like many snakes.
* In the final room, the group came face to face with Varysss and his two guards. He whipped out a staff with Zalkore’s head mounted on it with her eyes pinned open. He tried to use her gorgon’s eye to petrify Voloth but failed.
* Voloth, still believed to be a prisoner, broke out of his bondage and threw his entire Fireball necklace at Varysss and his guards. Varysss burned to death instantly and the group made quick work of what remained of his guards.
* The rest of the Yuan-Tie escaped into the jungle after hearing the explosion.
