Session 43 "Now, The Heroes of Amn"

Session 43 recap: “Now, The Heroes of Amn”

With your ceremony in Athkatmon a day away, you left The
Citadel of Light making your way back to the City of Coin. After checking in
with Moist regarding the next day’s ceremonies you split up to attend to
various personal tasks: Muffy and Rhys had a very fashionable day buying a new
dress and set of armor. Gram and Dorn tracked down one of Gram’s old contacts,
Miriam, the Amazonian first mate on the Majestros who Dorn recognized
as the woman who beat Rhys in the arm wrestling competition on High Harvest
Tide. She told you about the island of Lantan, the one the automatons were said
to have come from, and said if you were ever looking for her or the rest of the
crew the best bet would be to check The Sea’s Bounty. Rensig and Bucky went to
Balistar’s and learned more about the feywild, shadowfell and the interplay of
the various planes of existence. Balistar, said that if they should decide to,
he would help them get Bob the Skull to the elemental plane of air, but Bob
declined. Balastar also asked Rensig about his lineage, where his people were
from, but Rensig was unable to answer his questions, not even really sure where
his parents were from. You spent the night, potentially your last in a while,
in Dorn’s lair. The next day was the ceremony and you were, for all of you save Rensig and Muffy, at the fanciest event you had ever been to, surrounded
by nobles and various gathered dignitaries. The reception turned out to be
rather eventful:

·
The Ponmarch, Emron Nashvar invited Dorn and
Bucky to his estate. He offered to help Dorn with his condition and potentially
council him on a career in politics.

·
The Donmarch, Conret Gallowglass offered to put
The Lucky Seven on retainer to help Athkatmon and Amn with problems they could not
deal with otherwise.

·
While all this was happening Rhys’ brother, Sir
Justan grabbed Rhys and took him aside warning him that he was in over his
head. That many were upset with the ending of the mining, including General
Orhotker and now not only were the lives of The Lucky Seven in danger, but he
also insinuated Hazim Albikkar had pissed off the wrong people as well.

·
Meanwhile, unsurprisingly with all the nobles
and figures of power assembled, Muffy saw people from her past and immediately
excused herself. Although her appearance was now greatly different, she did not
want to take any chances.

At the actual presenting of medals, Bucky hung back and Bip
stayed invisible, but the other five received their medals and keys to their
new home from Hazim who for the first time you were able to see as the beloved
leader of a people who truly loved their first son. All the while, Quora looked
on, wary of danger.

As
the day’s events drew to a close, The Lucky Seven walking off towards your new
home, you encountered an unusually deserted portion of the city, and that’s when
Carric, his enormous Dire Wolf, and The Glaicer walked out of the shadows.
Behind you a large, malicious looking black dragon landed on a nearby roof and
let out a thunderous roar. This is, at least, a portion of The Giant’s Fist. You are
surrounded. Carric, gives a crocked smile and says “we need to talk.” And that’s where
we pick up.
