Session #07 (21/02/2021) (07:00) NZDT.

**Location: Festival Grounds**

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

**Session Overview.**

Acorn. Punk Kid maybe isn’t...a kid? Folgers needs a hand. Shopping time featuring Fruff and being kicked out. Congratulations, Hemnon! You’re a homeowner! Kielns backstory + new eye color. Depressing date with Dunmoore (He’s into older, Blue Tiefling Women.) Kieln absorbs the mask. Scruffins is a blanket, ain’t going nowhere.

**Notable Events:**

* Guilliman investigates an extra set of footprints around Sweets’ tent. Find an Acorn that seems out of place and some traces of magic.
* The kid who robbed Renoa appears and we fight him, he seems to “play with fire” instead of taking damage. The kid Dimension Doors away.
* The party returns to the Inn with Scruffins. The Inn is very cold, smells of seawater and has barnacles everywhere. (Like from Diana’s chambers/the mad wizard in the sewers)  There’s a new figure there. Foldgers, a Changeling. His left arm is missing and his right arm is clutching a crystalline dagger - it looks as if it’s stuck to his hand. (Is this the same material that Barrten asked Hemnon to look for?) Foldgers tells us that the noble woman’s arm was his and demonstrates that he can point to something with his dagger and cause big lacerations without touching it physically. “And yet there isn’t ANYONE here that can fix this!” Foldgers seems very dangerous. He stabs his dagger into Guillimans chest and Guilliman feels biting cold and a sensation of ‘Foldgers looking through him.’ Foldgers leaves.
* The party put Scruffins into bed and rest. Nirn tells Kieln about her dreams of the Ziggurat. Kieln tells Nirn that he’s heard of it before and the site is about 100 miles from Waterdeep.
* Nirn helps to remove Kielns mask and notes that Kielns eyes are now purple. Kieln tells Nirn that he is in Waterdeep looking for his wife who disappeared whilst they were exploring a ruin with ties to Mechanicus. He has heard of somebody looking similar to her and hopes to find her soon. (Amelia a Gnome with a Bun hairstyle)
* Renoa/Hemnon and Nirn go to market and meet a male Gnoll named “Fruff” who seems to be a tinkerer of sorts. The party learns that he is actually Scruffins older brother and he owns a shop in Silverymoon - he mentions that he is heading back that way tomorrow after the festival finishes.
* The party head to an enchanters shop and Hemnon gets knocked out from taking a swig of the Dragonborns flask. Upon awakening he tries to attack the Dragonborn and gets kicked out. Nirn purchases a “Deck of Illusions”
* Hemnon buys a property from a Blue Tiefling for 10,000g. It’s located in the Dock Ward, the party resolves to visit it soon.
* Kieln investigates “Thay” at the library:
	+ Red Wizards of Thay - Massive ruling demonologists. Unchecked Arcane Experimentation /Slavers - Enjoy confusion and chaos. Creators of the Mask - Blood magic - Bloodied Ones created of Blood - Dread Warriors undead warriors fighting through death - Chosen Ones. (“Szass” an important term we have no context for) Neo Ogres - Orc/Ogre/Troll hybrids. Big export from Thay are Crimson Gold Apples.
* On the way back to the Inn Nirn attempts to contact the WW through a guard and Kieln hears whispers from the mask, begging him to put it back on.
* The party rests while Hemnon and Nirn head out for the Date with Dunmoore. Dunmoore asks us for help protecting a Blue Tiefling named Lapis, it seems he has a one sided crush on her. (Nirn is low-key crushed.) Dunmoore mentions that was the reason why he was at the festival in the first place. Nirn promises to look out for Lapis if she sees her and Dunmoore mentions that if we see “King” his monkey out and about , we can give him messages for Dumoore.
* Kieln has dreams of Banners/Ribbons/Statues being pulled down and people screaming - followed by another voice: “You will save us. I’m sorry but I needed to see your capabilities . I won’t have you attack your friends again. I’m sorry...but you need to trust me.” When Kieln awakes, the mask is gone and he has a facial tattoo (three eyes in a triangular formation with connecting lines) Kieln jokes that his wife won’t like it.
* Scruffins wakes the next day and tells Guilliman more about the rumored Ogres at Red Larch, Guilliman resolves to go there and investigate for himself. Scruffins will not be accompanying the party, also stating that she’s not 100% sure he’ll find anything useful.
