Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Campaign Thread (DM: Webgambit)

"Good bye for now, then!"

Kestrell turns to the rest of the group: "Looks like we just got some sponsorship!"

"As long as everyone is happy with that, not that I will protest. It would be good to have  them around for there knowledge alone."

"So now that that is over... the circus? Are we going this afternoon so we are around before tonight?"

As you're talking one of the tradesmen approaches your group.He appears to be around his mid 30s, about 5' 7" with short, curly, silver hair and round face. His eyes have a touch of a golden gleam to them.

"Excuse me, I'm Hadrian from the Guild of Glassblowers, Glaziers, and Spectacle-makers. I just wanted to let you know that all the windows in the manor have been replaced so we'll be heading out. Please let us know if you need more replaced, not uncommon for taverns to get broken windows you know. We can also provide mirrors if you need any in your bedrooms. If you don't be needing anything else, I'll be leaving you be."

Hadrian will wait until he's sure you're done with any questions or comments and then he'll say "You all have a good rest of your day" and leave.

Elon gives Volo and Foon a friendly "good bye" gesture then hears Hadrian give his final report on the windows.

"So...who is infiltrating the circus and what do the rest of us do?" he ask to get another run down of the plan.

"Thank you Hadrian, the windows look nice!  I don't think we need more mirrors, but Vassa may want one for his ceiling.  I'll leave that up to him. Say, do you or your guild have any trouble that you could use our help with?"

Kestrell turns to Elon and Phaedra: "Yes, let's get this plan nailed down.  We go this afternoon, offer to join for a few nights, and we put on a show.  Wait, how does that let us catch the killer?  I hope they have roasted peanuts.  I'm hungry."

"Say, do you or your guild have any trouble that you could use our help with?"

"None that I'm aware of but if that I changes I'll keep you all in mind."

"Because Kestrell my friend, the murders started at the same time the circus came to town. We have the bait and hopefully some kind of connection to get the murderer to act. Then we just need to bring them to account. Easy. After all the murderer already attacked Vassa once remember. He just didn't expect Vassa to have tricks up his sleeve"

Phaedra ponders for a second. "Vassa said his attacker used a racial slur when he attacked, calling him a half drow or half breed? But in a nasty way... I think?"

"Ah right!  Those are all good points, Phaedra.  Yes, a half drow is what he was called."

"Let's go checkout the circus?"

"Is there anyplace else we should swing by on our way?"

"What would you like from me?" Elon ask. "Since I am an elf, I don't think it would be wise foe me to try to join this circus."

"Maybe you should attend the circus, so you are in the audience for backup?"

"And how should we go to the circus? Would it like right if I turn up in armour to join? What do these people generally look like, I can not say I have ever been to one?"

Phaedra looks over the blue tinted vestment which clearly has scale mail underneath. "I may need to change to make this look more convincing"

"Yes, maybe clothing that's less metallic and a little for colorful" Elon pokes fun at Phaedra. "Perhaps Kest could help with that"

Kestrell raises an eyebrow at Elon, then continues to Phaedra: "On the otherhand, maybe we could play the scale mail off.  If you are downrange of me while I'm shooting, it might make sense for you to be wearing some armor."

"Between the both of you you make little sense as usual. Wait here and I will be back in a few minutes."

The cleric heads off to her room and returns a few minutes later just in her blue vestments, without her scale mail.

"We can grab something with a little more colour on the way. My wardrobe does not cater for other faiths but I would prefer at least some form of disguise so this is not like the baker incident"

"Interesting choice!  Yes, let's stop along the way.  Hey, can we stop at the Lady of the Scones and see if she has any more baked goods to offer us?"

Elon gives a chuckle "I will be watching over you all from the crowd. It wouldn't be good for an elf to try to join the act." 

"Elon has already visited the Order of the Gauntlet today Kestrell. Unless you specifically wish to see her, then I would say we keep to the task at hand. So are we all ready to go?" Phaedra questions as she starts to walk out the door.

"Yes, let's go!"

As they walk out, Kestrell asks Elon: "Did she say anything about another basket of baked goods?"

"I'm afraid she did not my friend, but I have a feeling this isn't the last we will see of her" Elon follows after Phaedra.

"Ah well, maybe the circus will have some roasted nuts."
