CA2 - S2E5 - The Full Pickle

## Recap

Instead of going to bed, Haldor decides to look for a brothel. He tells Barry there will be soup there, and Lox is intrigued, but only if Isa comes along. Lolloch sleeps. The concierge Phillip sends them to a place called the Scarlet Parlor, where Haldor haggles for the entrance fee and ends up paying more than originally asked. Inside, Isa and Lox play craps, and Haldor again haggles, this time to get paid to pole dance. Barry and Haldor both do a turn on the pole for 5 minutes while Lox and Isa run lighting with magic.

After making a lot of money in small coins, Barry finally gets his soup, and the group is approached by the proprietor, Jackson “Coitus” Kotas. He offers the party 200gp for 1 hour of dancing on Saturday night as long as the other two help with lighting enhancement. After much haranguing, Isa finally acquiesces, but not before saying she won’t allow Haldor to call the party “The Full Pickle.”

They all sleep in the next day before going to Albey Parker’s will reading at noon at the Guild of the 5 E’s Clubhouse. A battle happened there recently with the undead, and they hear the queen is sending an army to the Fields of the Dead to deal with them. Cornelius Bronson reads the will which lists six beneficiaries who each receive a chest of gold.

The beneficiaries include:

They all sleep in the next day before going to Albey Parker’s will reading at noon at the Guild of the 5 E’s Clubhouse. A battle happened there recently with the undead, and they hear the queen is sending an army to the Fields of the Dead to deal with them. Cornelius Bronson reads the will which lists six beneficiaries who each receive a chest of gold.

The beneficiaries include:

* Theo Brannagh, Parker’s Butler, who also receives half of Parker’s duplex mansion.
* Xavier Bishop, Parker’s sponsor to the royal court
* Julian Gerand, who does work with the city’s undesirables
* Jackson Kotas, proprietor of the Scarlet Parlor. There is also 1,000gp on red for the end of the Thorian games. If it wins, it will be donated to the Church of Aer
* Ginny Rumsfeld, a brewer who made Parker’s favorite beverage. When she sees the gold, she whispers “this will save us” and looks at Kotas
* Coulton Fletcher, someone who was recommended to Parker as needing money
* Alice Goodberry Cottonwood Sertis, a market owner and friend

The party members are Parker’s “most promising students”. They each receive 20 platinum, a gift certificate to The Perfect Fit, a ticket to a box seat for the opening of the Thorian Games, and Parker’s 3000 sq ft townhouse.

Lox is suspicious of all of this and worries about the other beneficiaries, but Haldor sees Paladin Kormyr, also gifted by Aer, and goes to say hi.
