## Plot Summary:

Tenoch Coatl was banished from the Red Isle for being too small.  He is now a mercenary.  The Red Isle is run by 4 kings.  It’s an oligarchy.  Tenoch served under King Huhl, who was a hunter.  Daemys Raethran is a Quai’Kul from the Green Isles.  She left for adventure and settled in Raufel and became an exterminator because she is good with animals.  She also sells pets.  Her heartbeast is a lion-badger named Leonaldo.  Leia Tana is a lieutenant underneath Captain Lidan Sandglass in the town guard, the WhiteSails.

They begin in the city of Raufel, the largest port on the continent.  The governor is Urit Syle.  Leia is in a meeting with Captain Sandglass.  There has been trouble from three gangs, the Gulls, the Hooks, and the Runoff.  Daemys wants to talk about robberies.  Sandglass is more worried about the gangs, dismisses her concerns, and orders Leia to go back to her post.  Leia goes to get backup at the Tattered Sail inn from Tenoch, who just got back from a job (a month on a ship).

The people robbed include Plera Scale, Camden Lark, Jerrot Valmir, Reldwyn Bath, and Daemys Raethran.  Leia and Tenoch go to visit Daemys’ shop (The Daemenagerie) on Red Street (the longest street in the area that borders the rich part of town, the “Cliffs”).  The shop was recently ransacked but only jewels have been messed with.  All the money is accounted for.  There are a lot of bunny-ducks.  The lock was broken with one swift kick; the perpetrator was a professional.

They head to Plera Scale’s (human woman, old money) mansion, but are met by a drunk and pantless man, Red Sparrow (character drop).  Tenoch intimidates him.  Red Sparrow urinates on Tenoch as he is lifted off the ground.  They ask him about the robberies, he says he knows a guy named Flat Edward.  They send him away to the Tattered Sail tavern with a copper, Leia’s cloak wrapped around his waist.  Leia knows that Flat Edward runs with a man named Kord Elkas, who is a hired thug.  He runs a small gang that you hire to get stuff done.

They arrive at Plera Scale’s mansion which is brightly, but haphazardly colored.  An old man answers the door and invites them in.  Mansion is expensive but tackily furnished.  She shows them her bedroom, which has a giant glass cabinet.  She can’t remember what she is missing.  Tenoch flirts with Plera and then searches the room.  He notices a spot where something is missing.  She remembers that it was a rare green polished stone, gifted to her great grandmother.  Daemys remembers that she was also missing the same type of stone, which was given to her by her mother in the form of a brooch.

At that moment a war horn blows.  The pirates have arrived.  Leia knows this is an emergency.  They head toward the docks (the Horse’s Neck).  They see three small ships with red flags in the harbor.  The middle ship has a sail with a Red Minotaur with purple hair and green war paint.  The pirate ships are taking out the trade ships and the White Sails are not present.  They see the Captain Bloodhorn who's image is on the sails (character drop).  He has a partner who is blue with a purple nose-ring named Bawb Chud.

They head towards the pirates who are coming onto the docks.  Battle is joined with a surprise attack. Captain Bloodhorn arrives munching on a cucumber.  His first mate is also there holding a strange object.  More minotaurs attack, but the Whitesails begin arriving.  They have been in a fight of their own, led by Captain Sandglass.  One Whitesail named Jerrick is skewered by a harpoon from the pirate ship.  Tenoch, Daemys, and Leia engage Captain Bloodhorn and Chud.  Daemys kills Bloodhorn with her bow.  Chud attacks Daemys with a lightning gun but misses.  Tenoch kills him with a goring attack.  The pirates retreat with some spoils.  Captain Sandglass reluctantly nods at Leia, knowing she was in the right place, despite disobeying his orders.

## Fun Moments:

ManlyMutt breaks the story almost immediately by dropping a $250 donation for a pirate fleet before they’ve even introduced characters.

Cucumber is the first character drop.

The stream is #1 in Dungeons and Dragons.

Danny stresses that this is a more grounded world and he may tweak character drops if they don’t fit the world (lol).

Art and Danny flirt in character as Tenoch and old lady Plera Scale.

Danny forgets he has DM rerolls causing ManlyMutt to remark “What a waste of money!”

After the third $250 goal is announced to be Ryan singing and dancing, chat begins to negotiate with itself on who will donate another $250.

Ryan is forced to sing and dance for the halftime show about Star Trek, much to the confusion of everyone who came for DnD.
