The Party

(Holly) Strix - Tiefling Sorcerer

(Anna) Evelyn - Human Paladin of Lathander

Last time, Diath was put in jail, being blamed for stealing wine from a crime scene (although it was Paultin who actually pilfered it).

The Arrival of Talastin

Evelyn spots some riders, heading for Trollskull Manor. One dismounts. She's wearing a cloak and she has dark skin and hair shaved down to the scalp. Her eyes are milky white. Evelyn is pretty sure that this is Talastin Darragon, the new head priest of the church of Lathander/Amaunator. She is wearing the symbol of Lathander around her neck.

Evelyn and Talastin converse inside the manor. They talk about the death of Father Sunbright. Evelyn says that the heroes had nothing to do with Sunbright's death, and Talastin says she believes Evelyn. Talastin says that many believe that she, Talastin, is responsible. Evelyn asks if she is responsible. Talastin sidesteps the question and asks about Father Morn. Morn claims to be a descendant of Randal Morn,

Talastin asks Evelyn if she could look into Father Morn's past and whether or not he is actually connected to Randal Morn. Talastin says that she can bring Sunbright back to life and send him off to Daggerford. Talastin says that the followers will see Sunbright as weak when he is brought back.

Evelyn asks about the return of Amaunator. Talastin says that some believe his return is imminent, but the drow doesn't. Talastin explains that she was once an evil drow, but when she first saw the sun, she was converted. Lathander agreed to let her serve him if she gave up her sight. She did.

Paultin and Evelyn head out into Waterdeep, leaving Waffles to look after the kids. Paultin plays an impromptu show on the street and Nate rolls really well on his performance check. Evelyn gets pushed to the side by the enthralled crowd.

Castle Waterdeep

Strix is in rat form, skulking up the side of Mount Waterdeep. On the mountain is Castle Waterdeep, where Diath is being interred. Strix spots a pipe with water spilling out of it. She clambers in and makes her way to the interior of the castle. She emerges in a kitchen and tries her best not to be noticed.

Diath is out in the sun. He gets one hour a day in the courtyard of Castle Waterdeep. There are guards behind arrow slits.

Strix finds Diath's cell. She can't get in - it is sealed up tight. It has an iron door with no seams. She turns into her tiefling self and casts gaseous form. She waits in cloud form for him to return. Diath returns and crawls into the corner. Strix floats down and waves at him as a cloud.

Diath sees her and tells her she should leave before she gets caught. She turns into a rat again and crosses her arms. She brought him a pie. She wants him to eat it.

End of Session.
