Ven 30, 2424 - Session 5 - Mysterious Shipments
After a well needed night's rest we awoke and talked to Enna, from the Stonekeepers who said if we were interested she had some jobs to help the resistance in the area. Sounds like a good way to make some coin and make a real difference in these peoples lives.
I spent the morning tinkering and created a new helper, PIP, to assist me in my alchemical process and probably help a little in the field if we intend to be encountering more hostiles.
Amani and Laslyn went to talk to Enna and see how we can help around here.
A note worthy name they got was Jorenn Cadmire. He runs a legit trading house and is a respected guy among his peers. But not the friendliest and keeps to himself. Sounds like a real numbers guy who is organized and methodical. Also Syndicate Approved.
The Stonekeepers' contacts intercepted news of some strange relics and statues that went missing from a ledger and shipment.
She suggests we poke around his shop and warehouse and see what we might be able to find about these mysterious shipments. Is he a pawn or the ringmaster?
After discussing it as a group we decided I will try and sneak in the back as the group distracts Jorenn.
I introduced the group to my newest creation PIP who I am realizing isn't the brightest of intelligent beings. But hey he is a work in progress. He has already picked up on quite a few bad words and habits.
We made our way to Jorenn's shop. It is very well kept and organized. Almost too organize, like its for show to the outside world.
Laslyn stoles in acting the part of an interested buyer extremely well.
Klackers appearing and a dwarf stumbled in and started vomiting on Laslyn and gave me the opening I needed.
Inside I looked around his desk and cabinets. Nothing of note except some burnt parchment papers that looks like he wanted to hide. I stumbled upon some false floor boards beneath a rug. Under the floor was a storage area with items Amani described from their conversation with Enna. There was a ledger mentioning Jorenn's warehouse to the north of town. We definitely should check that out next. Seems to be a major point in their operations. Inside the chest were some signet rings that appear to be for high ranking communication inside the Syndicate and a strange dagger. I took both along with a vial of some strange black liquid I found among the shipments.
I ran into Klackers as I was leaving out the back and we headed back to the Ox and Lantern.
Klackers took at look at the dagger i grabbed and found out it was a Silver Dagger of The Hellbound Oath. Looks pretty nasty.
I took this newfound information to Enna. She seemed upset and worried that this was happening right under their noses.
After talkin with Amani we decided we still have the element of surprise and want to check out this warehouse but as we went to leave a village ran up to us saying there's a fire at Jorenn's place.
We arrived to see the place a burnt husk of what it was not even an hour before. No sign of Jorenn or any other persons.
There goes our advantage of surprise.
We found Laslyn coming back from cleaning herself by the river and she reports seeing what appeared to be Jorenn and another leaving town headed towards the warehouse.
It's Syndicate controlled so this wont be a cake walk to get into. Now that they know, its gonna be a fortress.
