Waterdeep Dragon Heist - Campaign Thread (DM: Webgambit)

For his part, Vassa stumbles through the night streets in a meandering, almost zig-zagging motion, adding to the illusion of drunkenness and not wanting to get too far out in front of his companions... who he hopes don't fall too far behind. Once upon a time, the previously loner bard would of have considered this kind of personal risk crazy, but ever since that fateful first night in the Portal, he'd come to place more trust in his allies and feel a desire... no a need, to be part of something bigger than himself and his own immediate desires. His old nan would have approved he thinks to himself, chuckling under his breath as he continues staggering down the wharf.

Vassa stumbles all the way up Sail Street, past Coin Alley and finally out to the end of the last pier in the harbour. Fully isolated and exposed, the half-drow eventually slumps down with his back to one of the pier posts looking out over the harbour water, taking exagerated sips from the bottle in his hand.

A couple hours pass as Vassa meanders through the streets and another while he's peering over the pier. The rest of the group have hidden themselves in a nearby alley. 

No one has seen hide nor hair of the Drow in question.

It's approximately 5am and the sun will be up in a couple more hours.

What's everyone doing?

Selinae watched the others from the roof of a nearby warehouse, not too disappointed that the drow killer hadn't shown after her fight with him the other night she was worried that most of the others would be slaughtered in short order if he did show up....

She acknowledged that she actually kind of liked most of them now.......well, now that she knew they weren't murderers.

Vassa will wait until the first glimmers of sunrise appear on the horizon and then give up on the night's effort as a waste, wandering back to the manor alone dejected. Once there he'll go up to the converted Den and actually finish drinking the bottle, stewing on his second failed plan to catch Soluun. 

Before turning in for the night, Vassa wanders around the room for a bit, staring out the one window that he leaves unlocked.

Spoiler for the DM:

Kestrell and everyone with him stay hidden, watching Vassa on the dock.  When Vassa leaves, they follow, still trying to stay hidden, in case Soluun is an early riser.

Selinae remains where she is for another 30 mins after the others depart, just in case.

Stealth:20

Perception:10

The 30 minutes pass and Selinae doesn't see anything. Is she heading back to Trollskull Manor?

 OOC: Yup.

The party returns to the manor and goes to bed down for the night morning. Of course, many of the contractors are already there and are setting up for the day, so it won't be great rest but most of you do manage a few hours.

Whoever wakes up and heads to the tap room first is approached by one of the contractors, "A messenger came by earlier, left a letter on y'alls table there. I saw y'all come in this morning so I didn't want to wake you so I went ahead and tipped the fella a few coppers. Hope that was ok."

If you open the letter this is what you read:

Selinae bounced down the stairs in a light tunic that had been lengthened and widened by some neat but obviously not professional stitching.

She looked around for the others when the contractor spoke, seeing no one she picked up the letter and read it.

With a slight smile she put it back and then headed into the kitchen to make pancakes for everyone.

Elon wakes early considering how late they were out. He feels disappointed that they didn't draw him out. Upon seeing Selinae, he greets her "morning. Did you rest well? I know it's hard to get sleep with the contractors working"

Phaedra journies on downwards at an appropriate time.

"Well that was a night to remember, and one I do not wish to repeat. Good morning to you all."

Silver just comes down and picks up the letter as he begins to read it "That's a big nope, I've become accustomed to these boots."

He places the letter down and goes over to the tap to pour himself some ale and grabs an apple as he begins to eat and drink "How did everyone sleep?"

Kestrell comes up from the basement after trying to sleep, although Elsa' meowing kept him up.

"Good morning!  Er, afternoon.  I mean.  Is that pancakes I smell?  I'll get some coffee brewing.  Oh, what's this?"

Kestrell picks up the letter and reads it.

"Interesting.  Who has the sword and then gun?  All I knew about were Silver's boots."

OOC:
Did we get a leng rest or a short rest?
Animal Handling: 19

Silver just smiles at Kestrell holding his hand up "I've got the sword - also not giving it back."

"Huh, how did you get that?"

Silver just smiled "Vassa gave it to me when I was looking for another sword - if I remember right."

"Well, how about that."

"So what's our move now.  Do we want to pursue this Saloon fellow further or let it drop?  Should we go talk to this Captain Zord fellow for any reason?"

"I think the matter is dealt with then. I hate to see someone go free after what they have done however as I recall, don't we have other issues we should start looking further into within Waterdeep? If Saloon has fled with the help of his employer, then there is now telling how far he has already run. Most likely by ship as well. You should let your people know Elon, they would have more reach to follow this further if they so wish"

Selinae looked at Silver carefully as she placed down the huge stack of pancakes on the table, 

She frowned, the others she understood she thought, but this Silver...there was something unsettling about them...she didn't know what exactly but their eyes reminded her too much of the drow as he pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger....

Still, things had worked out and it had only cost her a few gold so all was well.
