We will make our way through DDEX11 Defiance in Phlan. You guys have a weak party, but if you have an easy go of the first encounter we'll see from there.
I have access to your Characters stats through the campaign page so I shouldn't need anything other than the rolls you make.
I know different players have different role-playing capabilities so just try to describe your character the best you can.
The three of you for one reason or another have gathered in Madame Freona’s Tea, a haven in the city of Phlan itself. Each of you may introduce yourselves before I begin.
Berdram Rumnaheim is a Paladin of Moradin. He sees himself as a bit of a peacekeeper. He is generally a rational dwarf, but may occasionally forget himself when Orcs or Goblins are concerned. (Idk how much detail is required tbh.)
That's fine, once we get started, I'd just prefer everything be assumed as in character, marking text as OOC or OOG as necessary. I will be writing the dialog of NPCs in Red, but you can do a different color if necessary.
"Hi, I'm Yllcerys. I normally stick to the shadows but this place is cozy." Yllcerys Is a short half-elf woman, a little over 23. While pretty bubbly she prefers to keep the details of her life to herself.
(completely forgot to mention explicitly being a rogue)
Sitting by the bar is a young man, red-tinged with two twisted horns. "They call me Malamus. As far as any of you need to know that is my real name." He looks around, mistrustful of the rest of the patrons. (OOC, yes I am the stereotypical Warlock Tiefling)
"I honestly couldn't tell you anything about them other than what I already told you. He did seem serious with that hood pulled up." She takes her leave of the adventurer's.
He delays saying anything until the party is assembled. Then says, "first, I am a member of the Harpers." He flashes the Harper brooch. "We are planning an operation. We want you to pose as merchant and hirelings and trade these fake diamonds for a dragon egg that the merchant is selling illegally. You(gesturing at Berdram) look like the real merchant who should be meeting with them so they should expect nothing. One of you will place a on one of their members, to their residence." He looks towards the group away from his pint, "Bring the egg to the stables behind the Tea Kettle."
(OOG- I am going to continue this in the morning but feel free to reply to the hooded individual.)
"I'm a new member of the Harpers myself, so you have my attention. There is the little matter of payment though. A girl's gotta eat after all." She flashes her own Harpers brooch and sits down at the next table over.
Malemus is not particularly trusting of this agent and is a member of the Zhentarim. He asks, "What is the cloak for? Do you have something to hide from us? And like the Half-Elf said, there is the matter of compensation." If I can catch a glimpse of his face I try.
The hooded figure reveal himself to be an older Half-Elf with closely cropped grey hair. "Time is of the essence, you will be paid 200gp when you return with the egg. We don't want you killing or capturing them either." After that he gives you directions to the barn where the meeting is to be held.
"Yllcerys, perhaps you should take the pin, I don't think I would be quite as proficient with pick-pocketing....or reverse pick-pocketing as it were." I do a quick once over of all my possessions, "I am ready when you are."
Berdram starts for the door, "well let's moving, I don' wanna be late. My cousin is a merchant 'round these parts. Maybe it's him they're expecting. We'll have some words..."

I'll follow your lead. Probably something blue.

Now that you're all introduced...
"Ah las, is there any chance you could tell us more about this fella?" I take a swig of a mug of ale I took with me to my bunk.
"Ma'am, what exactly can you tell me about them?" He eyes her suspiciously.
"I honestly couldn't tell you anything about them other than what I already told you. He did seem serious with that hood pulled up." She takes her leave of the adventurer's.
Yllcerys looks at the party members then skips down stairs, "Well, what're we waiting for?"
She'd like to find the hooded figure and ask him what the job is.
He delays saying anything until the party is assembled. Then says, "first, I am a member of the Harpers." He flashes the Harper brooch. "We are planning an operation.

"I don't have any experience with these Harpers you represent, but I am willing to do this if it means an end to this illegal business."
"I'm a new member of the Harpers myself, so you have my attention. There is the little matter of payment though. A girl's gotta eat after all." She flashes her own Harpers brooch and sits down at the next table over.

Yllcerys flashed the half-elf a quick smile when she takes the pin. "We'll have to do this again some time." And she gracefully makes for the door.
After a 20 minute walk, the group arrives at an abandoned barn. The open door way lies ahead.
What would you like to do?
