Haversport

Haversport is a city on the western shore of Haverston.

## History

Haverston is built on top of and into a cliff rising over 100 feet above the actual port of Haversport. To get to the city you must take one of many lifts up from sea level. These lifts range from luxurious to dubious, and are supposedly regulated by the city guard.

Haverston citizens living in Haversport are generally very proud of their country. The imperial colors of blue and gold are everywhere.

## Shipton Connection

The Shipton representative in Haversport is Luuk Wauters, a stuffy older half-orc who takes his job very seriously.

## Missions

* Bo Smiley, Leopold Thing, Dave T. Barbarian, Sorine Rhainfelt and Brisbane Budthrow were hired to transport carving pumpkins to the children of Haversport Elementary. Their captain, "Dave", persuaded them to deliver them to an associate of his, "Jimmy", for the same rate that Shipton was paying. Through magic, he was able to change the contract to show "Jimmy" as the client, so the party would be paid twice -- by Shipton, and by "Dave". They agreed, though some expressed discomfort in stealing from children. "Jimmy" was a goatherd, and was out in the hills surrounding Haverston. The party searched for him after paying a man named Nara to watch their cargo for them. They were attacked by a hooded figure and some giant goats, and eventually found "Jimmy" in a cave. The goats were smart and had lots of gold, most of which Sorine kept. "Jimmy" signed for the pumpkins, the group bought new pumpkins for the children, and Sorine got a bag of holding.

* Bo Smilely, Dave T. Barbarian, Margie McAdams, Plenet Bluegrass, and Xander Coddington III were hired to deliver sandpaper to "Jimmy". Upon entering town the guard immediately wanted to search the cargo, but Bo, remembering "Jimmy"'s criminal leanings, Bo objected and eventually the group and the guards allowed Bo to be searched and then to go and consult the Shipton rep Luuk Wauters. Luuk let Bo know about Shipton policy in regard to local government, and let him know that there were other smuggling ports available via hypothetical. Bo had everyone go back to the ship to inspect the cargo (except Margie who stayed behind so they didn't look suspicious, and in the process she made friends with a guard), and to the eye it looked and felt exactly like sandpaper. Xander tasted some and it dissolved, getting him high with glowing silver eyes. The party went back on forth on what to do but when the glowing eyes faded and Xander's horns grew slightly, they decided to risk inspection by the guards. The guards found nothing wrong with the cargo, they delivered to "Jimmy", and all was well -- except "Jimmy" ate half a sheet and vanished into midair with the cargo. The group returned on Maryanne Squiggley only to find Shipton was without docks or buildings, and that the shape of the seafloor and island (according to Maryanne) was also different than when they left. They made a risky gamble to get to the island despite the dangerous waves, and Plenet noticed a magical non-magical shimmer. She touched it and a Glitched half-orc woman saw them, verified that they didn't know anything about the Glitched, and ordered their death. The party fought magic user Merton Adams and his mummy minion, surviving the encounter. Merton left halfway through because he was bored, or annoyed. After the battle Shipton returned to normal, the group (including Foolix, who had tagged along) got paid, and everyone learned a valuable lesson about drugs.
* Juice, Dave, Margie, and Whoa sailed on The Law to deliver tin ore to a Quintin S. Carsega in Haverston. On the way they were attacked by a blue and green colored ship that demanded taxes, but they fought them off successfully. When arriving at the port, they discovered it abandoned. After a short rest they sent Pith and Owlly to investigate and deliver a letter asking for someone to help them with the lifts. When neither returned, they found a lift they could use to get up and found that both familiars had been destroyed by a group of people with glowing silver eyes. One used a spell to convince Margie she was an old friend, then attempted to attack her with an Eldrich Blast. Juice was the only one not affected by a fear-inducing spell, and eventually in a group effort the three attackers were subdued. Guards from the city found them and brought them to safety, explaining that not long ago there was a strange epidemic that caused people to have their eyes glow silver and to act like zombies, only giving out random magic spells unexpectedly. This danger had driven off most people and thus the city has been abandoned, without any way to send word about what was happening. The guards gave the party directions to drop off the cargo. On the way "Dave" waved out to them and invited them in, where they saw he had several silver-eyed victims in a circle, draining them of their energy. Blurry Dave explained he was taking advantage of the situation by taking the magic generated by the drug for his own purposes, which he refused to share, and even indicated that "Jimmy" was in the circle. He said that the magic generated was like a beacon for people like him, and likely other blurry faced people were nearby. Juice questioned him about Brisbane, where the drug came from, as well as other things he was curious about, and near the end of his questioning Whoa reached out to touch his blurry face. Annoyed, Blurry Dave vaporized Whoa instantly, upsetting Margie and freaking everyone else out. Margie refused to leave until Blurry Dave brought Whoa back, and Juice and Dave did the rest of the mission alone, encountering the Glitched Orc woman (who said she needed to question Mertin and vanished) as well as several goats with glowing eyes, but they were able to deliver the cargo. They returned without Margie (who stayed behind with Blurry Dave, hoping to persuade him to bring Whoa back) and sent word of what was happening to the Empire when they reached Shipton.
