Man

The Acquaintances With Weapons stop at Waterdeep and reunite with the Best Friends Caravan.

## Major Plot Points

* After 90 days at sea, the Acquaintances With Weapons finally made landfall in Waterdeep.
* Voloth, Vulveeta, Stzu San, Wet Dick, Salty Twat, and Calypso disembarked the Blowhole and found the people of Waterdeep celebrating the second anniversary of the defeat of Tiamat.
* Revelers cheered in the streets and citizens shouted, “Long live Pansy!” and “Thank you, Pansy!”
* The party recognized the name Pansy as the member of the Best Friends Caravan who slayed Tiamat after a dragon cult brought her to the realm.
* AWW went to the Salty Clam where they found Doc meditating under a tree, Elle and Bada practicing archery, and Lance training young paladins. Inside, they saw Clit working the bar, Braga drinking heavily, Gnomy reading a book, and Minnie playing bagpipes.
* Bigsby Bingman, the party’s former rogue who disappeared after the Death Curse was stopped, was at the Salty Clam playing his bagpipes in competition against Minnie. Bigsby explained he left to go to bard college and mostly left his roguish ways behind. He then performed a very intricate set with several spells to boost his stage presence. Bigsby enchanted Vulveeta to make her love the song.
* The party questioned why he’d go to school to become a bard and Calypso reassured him there was nothing wrong with being a second class citizen.
* Clit came over to the group to say hello. She and Braga explained how it was actually the half-orc fighter who killed Tiamat (with a lot of help from the BFC). Pansy was there but the tale that his one blow dart struck through all 10 of Tiamat’s eyes and killed her was a lie.
* A group of assassins then burst through the Salty Clam’s windows and doors. They said that Braga had to die for spreading falsehoods. Braga took a lot of damage but AWW and her friends rallied and defeated the assassins. Bigsby turned one into a lizard and Gnomy set her on fire. Braga questioned a severely maimed one and he said he was hired by the Pansington Estate
* The party then split up to fetch supplies. Calypso, still depressed from being exiled from the Oral Coral Kingdom, stayed behind at the bar. Bigsby, Clit, and the rest of the BFC stayed behind as well to fix up the Salty Clam.
* Vulveeta, Braga, and Stzu San went to WarMart. Vulveeta bought herself a Pansy commemorative blowgun that always hits but only deals 1 piercing damage. She also bought Bigsby a pacifier dagger, an extendable rapier, and studded leather armor for 800 gold. Stzu San bought herself studded leather armor as well for 50 gold. Braga bought a magical charm for her armor that looks like a penis wrapped around a rose. Once activated, it gives her +1 AC for 1 hour. She can only do this once per long rest.
* Voloth, Wet Dick, and Neuriel went to Tome Depot where Voloth bought a poisoned black rose that deals 7d8 poison damage when consumed. Neuriel traded his tan bag of holding for a rust bag of holding.
* Braga, Clit, Neuriel, Voloth, Vulveeta, Stzu San, Bigsby, and Wet Dick then went off to speak to Sir Isteval Pansington, Pansy’s uncle, Lord of Daggerford, and ally of the BFC. He offered the group freshly baked cookies, which Braga ate and immediately passed out. He then tried to shove cookies into Bigsby’s mouth. Vulveeta woke Braga up and the party subdued the old man. Braga cut off his pinky during an interrogation. Sir Isteval said that Pansy was talking about going to bard college so he signed him up with the BFC. He was the one who spread word that Pansy killed Tiamat and rescued the BFC because Pansy is the future of his house, and their family business - the Pansington Panty Factory. Pansy has since let the fame go to his head and found a mage who could rewrite history so it was Pansy who killed the dragon goddess. Isteval also revealed Pansy’s address. Wet Dick used his magic to regrow Isteval’s finger. Braga put on his pinky ring and noticed weird magic coming from it but couldn’t discern its nature.
* At Pansy’s manor, Bigsby turned Voloth invisible so he could do recon around the ground. He snuck by five guards and found the door to the cellar.
* Bigsby performed a song to the five guards to distract them as the others followed Voloth’s lead to the cellar door. The guards laughed, cried, and applauded after Bigsby’s performance. One even used his sending stone to reach out to his estranged father after 20 years of silence. They immediately brought him inside to perform for Pansy.
* Stzu San was electrocuted when she tried to open the cellar door. Neuriel dispelled it’s magic and made the world a less whimsical place.
* Once inside, Vulveeta stole bread stored in the basement.
* Upstairs, Vulveeta and Neuriel discovered a secret museum within the mansion that housed a mural of Pansy fighting Tiamat. Decapitated dragon heads lined the walls. Stzu San stole a Blue Dragon Fang Dagger that deals 1d4 piercing damage and 1d8 lightning damage.
* The guards brought Bigsby to Jezebel, the dominatrix leader of the Pansington guardsmen. He performed for her, convincing her he just wanted to sing praises of Faerun’s hero. She brought him to Pansy, who recognized him from the tales of the Acquaintances With Weapons. After flirting a bit, Bigsby drank wine from Pansy that immediately knocked him out. The last words he heard were, “lock him with the dragon.”
* The rest of the party tried to sneak upstairs but Neuriel made the first step creak real loud. Knowing he was caught, Neuriel destroyed the foyer’s Pansy fountain. Jezebel and a few guards rushed downstairs where they battled our heroes. Once Jezebel and two guards were killed, the last one begged for his life and said he’d help them rescue Bigsby because the world needs his voice.
* They posed as the guard’s prisoners and were escorted throughout the mansion. The guard brought them to the magical void where they kept Bigsby and an adult gold dragon. The gold dragon suffered many cuts and he said Pansy was stealing his blood. The group freed the dragon who was too injured to fight but still made a mess out of the house when he left.
* The guard, Bigsby’s biggest fan, fell to his death due to the manor being so heavily damaged. His father called his sending stone but there was no answer. He believes his son cut off contact once again.
* The group found a vault, which Bigsby picked open and Neuriel dispelled. Voloth took the vial of dragon’s blood from it.
* The party then confronted Pansy, who was sharpening his silver spoon sword. An old mage, protected by a force field, floated over a glowing glyph while chanting an incantation.
* Braga lept into battle injuring Pansy who has now become an impressive fighter. Pansy parried a few blows. He struck at the party members with his shield, sword, and blowgun. Clit used Finger of Death on him. Wet Dick summoned locusts. Voloth sniped with Eldritch blasts. Neuriel unleashed his spiritual weapon. Bigsby used shatter on the mage. Our heroes were able to break the mage’s force field, injure him, and make him lose concentration. The mage simply laughed and said, “Fools! I wasn’t even doing anything. I was just a distraction.” He then sent a lightning bolt through Neuriel and Wet Dick.
* When Braga appeared to have bested Pansy, the young man smirked and revealed a blood capsule in his mouth. He bit it and drank the dragon’s blood inside, transforming into a dragon knight. His fire breath dealt severe damage to Braga and it hurt Voloth.
* Wet Dick and Neuriel healed the injured party members. And Voloth drank his dragon blood, transforming into another dragon knight.
