Ashe C2 Episode 18 - The Carriage of Subterfuge
Previously On...
In the great city of Westinox you all took a day to settle in at the rented cottage known as the Bronlon House. Immediately Crashe entered a prolonged Elven trance and did not awaken.
Finnix found himself at the Fiend's Delight, a comfortable tavern and pleasure house, meeting up with the attractive Tiefling smith known as Genesee Red. During the evening however he was hit on the back of the head by a dinner roll. Sitting comfortably in a booth nearby was another Vedalkan man who clearly knew who you were. His name was Exatron Saul and he claimed to be a rival bounty hunter in competition for the warforged you are hunting. Words were exchanged and the man disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Mausim and Wes spent the evening getting to know the strange guinea pig called Virgil Capsaicin. After some introductions the three headed out to the Marble Eye Tavern to look for members of the Thieves guild known as the Vestal Moth. After spotting a couple of rogue like people they sent Virgil up on the cross beams of the tavern to eavesdrop. Virgil returned with the name of a local bakery posing as a front for the organization.
The following day you all investigated the bakery and convinced the owner to allow you access to the underground tunnel leading into the guild. Making your way past some traps you found yourselves face to face with Premalkin Po and several thieves. Despite many clenched hands on hilts Finnix decided on a different tact. Offering the guild the carriage, the box, and 12 thousand gold in exchange for information on the buyer. Surprisingly Po accepted the offer, the two groups decided on the neutral ground of Carsigil Park for the dropoff.
Plot points/Scenes
The Vestal Moth is very skeptical of the team's offer. Premalkin Po will bring all of his enforcers to ambush the team and try to take them down.
Carsigil Park -
An enormous park situated on the northern side of the city it serves as one of the great meeting places and festival grounds for ordinary citizens. The parks and green spaces in the inner ward are reserved for nobles and the wealthy. The park was designed by the great wizard Carvingian Cartoberfin. There are several enchantments that exist to this day regulating temperature and rainfall in the park to keep the trees and plants comfortable. They have never known drought or disease on the park grounds.
To begin the team will have to reconvene at Bronlon House and come up with their plan. Premalkin Po will begin setting up his counter plan to trap or harm as many of the team as possible.
Exatron Saul will also be lurking around and will do anything he can to throw a wrench in Finnix' plan.
However this battle shakes out several characters in the city of Westinox will now be made aware of our team. The eyes of the Basilisk have several eyes and ears who are now aware of the team and who they are up against. Bella Caix/ Kirana are the ones who hired the Vestal Moth to steal the box from Ionn, though Ionn is attempting to pay off the Thieves guild to remove her from the equation.

Mausim Dream 03 -
You stand in a large tent with a wide wooden table before you strewn with maps of the surrounding area. The tent is the dark crimson color that matches your cloak and gloves and it is accented with a burnished gold color that matches the griffon symbols on your tabard. Your lieutenant stands on the other side, a brown haired thin man though he has wide shoulder. His eyes are puffy and red as he finishes writing a troop movement order. "Year 4 of this campaign, hard to believe it is almost eventide festival time again."
You watch as he knocks over a lit candle and stumbles a bit due to exhaustion. "Apologies milord!" He scrambles clumsily to pinch out the flame and stop any parchment from lighting on fire. [DM Note: A human man, brown hair and brown eyes kind of shaggy hair with lots of stubble. His name is Ron Fennel.]
As you send him back to his tent, he steps out into the cold night air. A light snow falls in between the tents and a few torches flicker and sputter out amongst the sprawling war camp. As you turn back to your table roll a perception check.
An elven man pulls back his hood as you see his cloak move slightly, perfectly blended into the shadows of your tent. Whether an illusion or just expert camouflage you are unsure. "My Liege Lord has sent a message, he says you, We are fighting the wrong war. He wants to set a meeting."
