Evening
Waterdeep, Trades Ward, Crooked House Inn
Cold foggy night
4th Uktar
The Hereos traveled to the City of the Dead (huge cemetery) within Waterdeep so that they could visit the Temple of Kelemvor so that Egwain could check in with her Matriarch Mother Maryam Doost. Along the way Tyree is accosted in the street by a friendly and crazy old woman who thinks he is her long lost son. She feels his face and caresses him lovingly. Tyree abruptly corrects her and moves on. Later, at the Temple, the Heroes are introduced to Matriarch Doost (human female Calashite, cleric 14). Here Egwain is given instructions to Consult with Eligos to discuss the worms and obtain a copy of Allustan's notes.
Later the Heroes went to the address of 106 Sulmore Street in the North Ward where they found Suzanna's Mother, Marilee Yuravich (human female Damaran older woman) and advised her of the untimely and terrible death of her daughter.
From here the Heroes traveled to 405 Beaconmarch Street also in the North Ward and found a beautiful woman named Joanne (human female Chondathan). This was Elgan's fiance and Tyree and Storn used no tact whatsoever in telling her love was dead.
In the Sea Ward the Heroes also encountered a noble by the name of Mascar WinterEagle (human male Tethyrian, fighter/rogue/ sorcerer). Mascar offered to pay the Heroes a hefty sum of gold to kill, capture, or at least embarrass a group of Hill Giants visiting Waterdeep on a diplomatic Mission. The short meeting went terribly and by the end, Mascar is now considered an enemy.
From here in the late afternoon the Heroes proceeded to the Jhansczil Estate in the Sea Ward where they met with Eligos Jhansczil (human male Damaran, fighter/wizard/loremaster) a noble and
Master sage, in the Sea Ward. Eligos, a noble by birth lived in a huge estate made of four Class A and Class B buildings. He is protected by a walled villa and a deadly looking man servant named Pollard (elven male fighter/wizard). During the meeting, the Heroes learned of Eligos' past with Allustan and how they shared the same master by the name of Manzorian some years ago.The meeting with Eligos went as well as expected. Eligos agreed to work on Allustan's research and the few items brought to him including a live worm in a vial of green liquid, Allustan's notes and drawings, and the strange metal tongs with a circular ending. Eligos told the Heroes he would send for them when his research was complete and that it could take some time 10 to 15 days.
The Heroes then returned to the Crooked House Inn. Upon returning, Tarquin asked Kamist to perform. Kamist's performance was an hit and drew a big crowd of loyal customers. That is when disaster struck and what was believed to be Olaf, publicly slit Tarquin's throat and yelled out, "FOR THE THREE HILLS ADVENTURING COMPANY". The bar erupted into a huge brawl and had it not been for Egwain's quick action Tarquin would have died.
It was then that a sinister plot was uncovered whereas Doppelgangers masquerading as Dolgun and Olaf tried to kill Tarquin. The Heroes were initially blamed and attacked by an angry mob but managed to diffuse the situation after the deception was uncovered. After killing the Doppelgangers impersonating Dolgun and Olaf, the Heroes uncovered peculiar holes almost drilled into each of the creatures skulls. Odd.On one of the Doppelgangers was found a strange key with a curious inscription of a huge kraken pulling down a ship below the sea. It will take the Heroes 10 days (15th of Uktar) to discover that the curious inscription is also on a warehouse in the Dock Ward near the water's edge down an alley off Dock Street.
It is now evening 15th Uktar 1371.
