We begin in Castle Caer Callwell, the location of the upcoming wedding, only a few days away. We are summoned to the war room; some have been here before. King, queen and princess want us to personally deliver invitations to guest in the castle. This is an old tradition originating in Waterdeep.

Bride comes from Waterdeep. Her mother and father are not present. ? That doesn't sound right.

Queen missed it Kendrick
King Dav...
Princess Taralina

Invitations are done using the Seals of Approval ceremony.

Process
1. Deliver food
2. Deliver invitation
3. Guest responds negatively
4. Act surprised
5. Attempt to convince guest
6. Guest relents, accepts and offers a gift, which used to be an official seal, but now is an object to fit into a piece of jewelry, necklace or bracelet.

A man rushes in. They confer.
Oh, we must ask you for an additional task. All the wedding gifts have been stolen. As you deliver the invitations, see if you can gather information about the stolen gifts.

We are tasked with 4 invitations.

1. Feyren, a satyr
   He complains about the noise.
   Jarik offers to make stylish earmuffs.
   And we have to steal a bottle of wine. We succeed. He accepts.
   He gives gift of wooden object.
   He seems to have been only around the study or his quarters.
   We further discuss his knowledge of the property. He is concerned with growing crops in the harsh soil.

2. Captain Kree & ?
   One is playful and acts like a pirate. When Tandur offers to spar, he admits he's not a real pirate.
   They decline because if the princess relocates the local parties will cease. We suggest party boats, pirate party boats. Success.
   No clues about the stolen gifts.

3.
Lord Aster & Lady Artemiz.
Very concerned with linage, fashion, gossip & status.
They object because the princess' parents will be lonely.
We persuade mentioning the pirate boats. Success.
We had no ideas how to get more info, as they deigned to pay us much attention.
They did mention something about forgery in Waterdeep.

4.
Name + name
in love, feed each other food.
One is alchemist, the other herbalist.
Objection: no love spoons. Jarik makes some.
Invitation: success.
We detect the herbalist doesn't know very much and was reluctant to be fed food.

We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported. We conclude this is the thief and may have captured the real husband.

The queen summons all the guests. They offer to help. We need to investigate the town.

New handout, a whole page.
For future reference, I cannot read (and internalize) rules while the game is going on. I need to actively separate from the game and read the new rules.

4 tasks
Help druids
Listen to rumors in bars
Craft stuff
& ?

We work on them as best we can. Earning points to be converted immediately or later into spells or objects.

What we learn
There are new rogues here, from Waterdeep, from the Shadow Thieves.
Satch, the hag, is probably involved, possibly as the fence.
The Shadow Thieves have the job to steal the goods. The locals feel overlooked.
The hag has an encampment
The Shadow Thieves have an encampment near Wintergreen.
Satch is looking for something of high quality, expensive.
Gnome alchemist, in-town for trading, seems to know more than he can reveal. Has mixed memories, missing memories.
Dispel Magic. Partial success.
He reveals the description of the stone cottage. A spider on the ceiling attempts to get away. Kwyjibo kills it.
TC: In hindsight, that probably prevented them from being prepared.

Long Rest
We stop by druids in the morning. Earn more points. Eat food for +20 Max HP.
Vigilant blessing
Healing potions. Never used, so returned.
Teleport to encampment.

Stone cottage with tents. We reconnoiter. We decide to enter where the voices are after using Silence. One runs into an adjacent tent. The first surrenders silently. The other is attacked and also surrenders. We learn about the plan. The hag is in the cottage with her boss.

The hag needed the loot for a ritual which had started. The loot in the other tent is being consumed by insects. Some items have already been lost. But we can take the rest after removing the insects. We have difficulty freeing the captive husband. Voices in the cottage are alerted. We flee.

We return with the remaining loot.
Partial success.

Loot

Tandur: Dice made from dyed wood in an assortment of colors

Hey there! Thanks for playing PO-BMG-MOONCA-POB-01 - The Joust of Roses today with me, Kurt Hoffstaetter, during Slot 2.

All characters earn the following:

Level Milestone
10 Downtime Days
1,000 gp (5,000 gp divided) -- on character sheet
Five Star Sapphires (1,000 gp each)
Woodcutter's Axe
Fabulist Gem
Saddle of the Cavalier

Woodcutter's Axe- now on character sheet
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you use this axe to make an attack against a plant (an ordinary plant or a creature with the Plant type) or a wooden object that isn’t being worn or carried, the attack deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage on a hit.

Fabulist Gem- now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This glittering red gem is commonly found embedded in a ring or brooch.
While wearing the gem, you gain the following benefits.

Counterfeit Coins. You can use your action to magically create a pile of coins, worth no more than 100 gp total, in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The pile must appear on a surface that can support it. After 1 hour, the coins vanish, regardless of where they are. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Illusory Fashion. As a bonus action, you can magically change the appearance of your clothing and armor. You can change the style, color, and apparent quality of what you’re wearing, or you can make it appear as if you were wearing different garments entirely. In either case, the changes wrought by this magic fail to pass physical inspection.

Saddle of the Cavalier - now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume
Subtle Mind Crystal to character sheet
Ink well: 280 gold
2780 / 7 = 397 gold each.

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.

Neverwinter city, aka Skilled Hands, aka Jewel of the North.
D. Neverember is the city premier. He regularly hires mercenaries or adventurers to keep the city secure. We are to have a meeting in the Protectorate Enclave in the Hall of Justice with Kavori Fairheart, Protector of ___.
We are in the temple of Tier, in the foyer, as she comes storming out from a meeting. She is angry, sees us composes herself and greets us. Champions: I have hired you for a mission. You are known to be capable and trustworthy.

Bodies have been appearing. You are to investigate. She has a hunch it may involve cults. If so, we are empowered to defend ourselves.

She thinks there are 3 related bodies. 1 has disappeared, but 2 are still being guarded.

These bodies have been appearing around the Docks district. A body is in the Docks Market. Guards are protecting it. The second is to be found at the harbormaster's office. He is Jinn. There is a 3rd, which was reported but seems to have disappeared. They were all reported at the same time, which is why she has mentally connected them. That 3rd body was initially discovered in the Swamp Docks area. That semi-autonomous region is controlled by the Zahaguin tribe of fishfolk.

If we discover cultist activity, we are to report our findings to her. She can be found here or at the Beached Leviathan #2, a tavern run by a friend of Neverember.

We select the harbormaster as the first destination. We arrive. The harbormaster is unconscious in the middle of the room.

Combat with shadowy creatures. We prevail. We saved the harbormaster who gives us some information. Most of the information came from viewing the body.

The body was covered with etchings, staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. We also discover a shipment of purple pufferfish destined for Barbous Chateau, a noble house. We are able to collect valuable poisons from the dead fish. See loot.

The body is female, high elf, elderly, in a ball dress. One of our party members says she looks familiar, but can't fully recall. Something about snow. (Later on, we discover Yuki is Japanese for snow. That's her name: Yuki)

Next, we travel to the Docks Area. The murder area is blocked by Wintershield Guards. They agree to let us pass once we point out we are investigating for the good of the city. On our way we are joined by Kavori Fairheart. Even she couldn't get past the guards, something about jurisdiction.

Another female body, surrounded by blood, too much blood for a humanoid creature.

Combat -
This time we are faced with 2 red jellies (gelatinous creatures) and 3 clear ones. During combat our druid blasts 3 clear ones with lightning. Oops. They split into 6 instead. They (the red and clear) have resistance and/or immunity to a lot of our damage. Nonetheless, we prevail.

After the battle, we continue our investigation.

1
The blood is dragon's blood. And the body has the same appearance: staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. In this case, we can see the limbs are mismatched.

2
The etchings are in a language we don't know. Our druid casts a spell. She learns the etchings refer to using the soul like a battery.

3
Finally, there is an eyeball in the corpse's mouth.

4
This corpse is a human female, in her 30s, also in a ball dress.

Something about Bella (incomplete notes: perhaps name of body).

Something seems to have changed around the time of the "defeat of the Red Wizards near the coliseum." (See movie: Dungeons & Dragons for more)

End of session.

Loot:
Each vial of poison can be kept (by one player, not replicated) or sold (and split with the party). The party decided to sell both and split the gold. (Otherwise, the item should be Purple Worm Poison, customized to be from Purple Pufferfish. Isaiah, indicated the poison was remarkable.)

Gold:
2000 + 2000 + 500 = 4500/5 = 900 each.

We also each get 1 healing potion.

We start in Baldur's Gate at the Adventurers League Hall in the lower city. It is a 3-story building. It's raining. As each of us enters, we are greeted by Yola at the front desk. She knows we've been requested. She provides a place to gather, the bar.

We are being asked to provide security for the Suhunka Trials (games [Olympics]) in Shugapoor (city). The job lasts for 12 days. Each will get 200 gp.

We enter a separate room. A stone goliath sits in front of a bowl. We are asked to sit around the bowl, too. He is:
Kurjhateeka, a priest.

The 3 great cities are involved in the games.

Aravati temple (?) in Maravarey (?)

Nisha (nickname) in Manivarsha is the target of our protection.
High River Singer (priest) Plabon is our contact.

The goliath begins a ritual around the bowl, recognizing the 4 gods and 4 cities.
Joltara - mountain, sky, rain, ice, snow; White
May Yoo - plains, wine, generous, bounty: Green/Emerald
Irravati - curious, cunning, quick, silver-tongued; Blue/Sapphire
Aderow-hit - missing city, find your children; Red

Shell, mix
We see a city image. We are asked to enter the bowl and are transported, 1-by-1, to the city in the market square.

Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is:
Shah-gah-poor.

Humid, hot, balmy.

I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations.

Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light. Keyrie sees Nisha turn to water and vanish. Meanwhile the rest continue the battle. We prevail.

We talk to Plabon.

He said the red wave brought up emotions, jealousy.
Manivarsa was destroyed by a red wave in the past. That's when the city was lost.
Since we were offered 200 gold each, he alters the deal. We get 100 now and another 100 if we return Nisha.

Session ends.
Long rest is approved.

Internet doesn't say Vorgansharax was the mate.

Q: What module... ?
A: If it it an Epic you are probably looking for the Season 1 Epic The Corruption of Kryptgarden. It features Claugiyliamatar (Old Gnawbones). Season 1 of AL also features Vorgansharax (The Maimed Virulence) and his takeover of the city of Phlan. One of the Tier 2 AL Myth Drannor modules also briefly features Verthandantalynx (The Verdant Cloud) as a quest giver.

Verthandantalynx (Verdant Cloud) had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son.
brother: Gwyr
sisters: Berdea & Verdian

copy/paste
Verthandantalynx (VER-tha-DAN-ta-links). The former mate of Vorgansharx, the Maimed Virulence, she is also known as the Verdant Cloud.

"Verdian"
Viridianantallax (Veer-id-eean-an-tall-ax). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Viridian is strong and uses his strength to intimidate lesser beings.

"Berdea"
Berdeanostia (Bar-dee-a-no-stee-a). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Berdea cares little for anything but making sure her next meal is nearby.

"Gwyr"
Gwyrddentuliar (Gwee-erd-en-tul-ear). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax.

Often, I will use brother and sisters.

The fighting of the sisters is wreaking havoc on the villages of the forest. Get them to leave, or kill them.

Cormanthor Forest

You may notice a smell (from the poisonous mist) or strange silence to alert you to danger.

First village. Prevented kobolds from running away. Asiah. He unwillingly gives information. They are supporting the dragons, hoping they will be rewarded once one comes to power.

He gives us information. We force him to lead us to his contact.

Too many names:
Yuoli, elf
Vastanaz, wood elf, probably working with dragons
Eltruella, no idea.

We are taken to the probably traitor. He's terrified. Mentions the locket. We trade. He pays way more than it's worth.

He's working for Gwyr. He will take us there. We let the kobold go.

We arrive at cliff face. Gwyr looms overhead from his cave.

We dialog.

At first he demands 3 uncommon magic items. Later, we persuade him (I don't recall what we said, DM: noted certain words) to accept 1 single magic item, the something Elf Blade. It is rumored to be found recently. We must return to our in order to gather information.

If we bring that sword, he will leave.

Elmwood
Rumors of eccentric archeologist, Corolla (clearly misspelled), rumored to have found something at ancient elven ruined outpost along Dranthor River, formerly owned by Acvalar Army of Cormanthor (elves).

We learn he used a boat which has returned with some of his expedition. He was behaving with a strange lack of care for precious artifacts.

C3
We get out with 3 bags, the sword, and the "archeologist" who is clearly just a tomb raider, bandit.

We return with the sword. It's not the right one. It's the rumored one you sent us for. He relents and/or gives us the location of his sisters.

We begin in Castle Caer Callwell, the location of the upcoming wedding, only a few days away. We are summoned to the war room; some have been here before. King, queen and princess want us to personally deliver invitations to guest in the castle. This is an old tradition originating in Waterdeep.

Bride comes from Waterdeep. Her mother and father are not present. ? That doesn't sound right.

Queen missed it Kendrick
King Dav...
Princess Taralina

Invitations are done using the Seals of Approval ceremony.

Process
1. Deliver food
2. Deliver invitation
3. Guest responds negatively
4. Act surprised
5. Attempt to convince guest
6. Guest relents, accepts and offers a gift, which used to be an official seal, but now is an object to fit into a piece of jewelry, necklace or bracelet.

A man rushes in. They confer.
Oh, we must ask you for an additional task. All the wedding gifts have been stolen. As you deliver the invitations, see if you can gather information about the stolen gifts.

We are tasked with 4 invitations.

1. Feyren, a satyr
   He complains about the noise.
   Jarik offers to make stylish earmuffs.
   And we have to steal a bottle of wine. We succeed. He accepts.
   He gives gift of wooden object.
   He seems to have been only around the study or his quarters.
   We further discuss his knowledge of the property. He is concerned with growing crops in the harsh soil.

2. Captain Kree & ?
   One is playful and acts like a pirate. When Tandur offers to spar, he admits he's not a real pirate.
   They decline because if the princess relocates the local parties will cease. We suggest party boats, pirate party boats. Success.
   No clues about the stolen gifts.

3.
Lord Aster & Lady Artemiz.
Very concerned with linage, fashion, gossip & status.
They object because the princess' parents will be lonely.
We persuade mentioning the pirate boats. Success.
We had no ideas how to get more info, as they deigned to pay us much attention.
They did mention something about forgery in Waterdeep.

4.
Name + name
in love, feed each other food.
One is alchemist, the other herbalist.
Objection: no love spoons. Jarik makes some.
Invitation: success.
We detect the herbalist doesn't know very much and was reluctant to be fed food.

We report to queen. She agrees they are suspicious. She summons them. The man changes form into a female fey, and vanishes. Seems to have teleported. We conclude this is the thief and may have captured the real husband.

The queen summons all the guests. They offer to help. We need to investigate the town.

New handout, a whole page.
For future reference, I cannot read (and internalize) rules while the game is going on. I need to actively separate from the game and read the new rules.

4 tasks
Help druids
Listen to rumors in bars
Craft stuff
& ?

We work on them as best we can. Earning points to be converted immediately or later into spells or objects.

What we learn
There are new rogues here, from Waterdeep, from the Shadow Thieves.
Satch, the hag, is probably involved, possibly as the fence.
The Shadow Thieves have the job to steal the goods. The locals feel overlooked.
The hag has an encampment
The Shadow Thieves have an encampment near Wintergreen.
Satch is looking for something of high quality, expensive.
Gnome alchemist, in-town for trading, seems to know more than he can reveal. Has mixed memories, missing memories.
Dispel Magic. Partial success.
He reveals the description of the stone cottage. A spider on the ceiling attempts to get away. Kwyjibo kills it.
TC: In hindsight, that probably prevented them from being prepared.

Long Rest
We stop by druids in the morning. Earn more points. Eat food for +20 Max HP.
Vigilant blessing
Healing potions. Never used, so returned.
Teleport to encampment.

Stone cottage with tents. We reconnoiter. We decide to enter where the voices are after using Silence. One runs into an adjacent tent. The first surrenders silently. The other is attacked and also surrenders. We learn about the plan. The hag is in the cottage with her boss.

The hag needed the loot for a ritual which had started. The loot in the other tent is being consumed by insects. Some items have already been lost. But we can take the rest after removing the insects. We have difficulty freeing the captive husband. Voices in the cottage are alerted. We flee.

We return with the remaining loot.
Partial success.

Loot

All characters earn the following:

Level Milestone
10 Downtime Days
1,000 gp (5,000 gp divided) -- on character sheet
Five Star Sapphires (1,000 gp each)
Woodcutter's Axe
Fabulist Gem
Saddle of the Cavalier

Woodcutter's Axe- now on character sheet
Weapon (Greataxe), Rare
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you use this axe to make an attack against a plant (an ordinary plant or a creature with the Plant type) or a wooden object that isn’t being worn or carried, the attack deals an extra 2d6 slashing damage on a hit.

Fabulist Gem- now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This glittering red gem is commonly found embedded in a ring or brooch.
While wearing the gem, you gain the following benefits.

Counterfeit Coins. You can use your action to magically create a pile of coins, worth no more than 100 gp total, in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of yourself. The pile must appear on a surface that can support it. After 1 hour, the coins vanish, regardless of where they are. Once this action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Illusory Fashion. As a bonus action, you can magically change the appearance of your clothing and armor. You can change the style, color, and apparent quality of what you’re wearing, or you can make it appear as if you were wearing different garments entirely. In either case, the changes wrought by this magic fail to pass physical inspection.

Saddle of the Cavalier - now on character sheet
Wondrous Item, Uncommon
While in this saddle on a mount, you can't be dismounted against your will if you're conscious, and attack rolls against the mount have disadvantage.

When we left off, we had encountered a small hole, through which we could see an encampment. The Bear went into the encampment. But that player is not present tonight.

We attempt to follow the trail of the goblins with human (townsfolk) captives.

We move on. We encounter a group of six Quaggoth.
C1 init 12

We kill 5. The sixth surrenders. We gain a little information.

We explore further. Door with green light coming through the crack. We open the door. 2 mind flayers (illithids). We attack. Tarenth gets grappled and stunned. Most of the rest of us get stunned at distance (only 1 round). We had enough allies still active that we didn't get too damaged. We killed one. The second tried to teleport, but Counterspell prevented that. We killed it. We kept 2 heads (bag of holding) in case we want to speak with dead.

In the room is a stone statue of a mind flayer with a brain in each hand. It wears a pendant. The brains move (change?) when we aren't looking. There is a glow of green coming off it. There is no magic. We detect the trace of teleportation magic.

The goblin/captive tracks end here. We find a closet built for and containing more mind flayer robes. We explore rooms.

Perfume, gem. - see loot

A door has a placard saying something like:
she of sacred flight and knows only the truth

We find a room with 2 prison cells. Under the trash on the ground a scrawled message:
3 monsters lead them all

We enter various rooms. One contains a gray skinned mind flayer. The usual ones have purple skin. She asks if we are there to join. We explain we got separated from our goblin allies. We attempt to get information. She shows us in her floating crystal a set of doors down a hallway south of the battle.
First door on the left.

Finally she offers information as to the destination of the prisoners. They went 3 ways. Some to:
Chishinix
Hashutu
Voalsh

Desk with letters in Undercommon.
Ink well - see loot

A mind flayer doing a dissection of a non human creature with a lot of eyes. We can't determine more. Also there are two 1-eyed creatures in that room.

We continue north. We find a large prison room.
My notes indicate we will start with a fight. I didn't write down what we saw.
End session.

Loot
5 x 500 gp bottles of perfume
Subtle Mind Crystal to character sheet
Ink well: 280 gold
2780 / 7 = 397 gold each.

We discover a tunnel and follow it... for miles.
First fork: we go right
Second fork: we go left
At the bottom of a chasm we discover the journal of Thorgrin Ironquill (worth 450g)

We meet people who were being kidnapped by goblins. Something 'took' the goblins. We prepare for combat. Evaelyn (Rhyndera) insists on departing to guide the rescued people to safety.

Combat begins against "brain creatures"

We prevail.

We discover leather scraps (no value?) & Careful Mind Crystal.

We do not depart the tunnel.

Neverwinter city, aka Skilled Hands, aka Jewel of the North.
D. Neverember is the city premier. He regularly hires mercenaries or adventurers to keep the city secure. We are to have a meeting in the Protectorate Enclave in the Hall of Justice with Kavori Fairheart, Protector of ___.
We are in the temple of Tier, in the foyer, as she comes storming out from a meeting. She is angry, sees us composes herself and greets us. Champions: I have hired you for a mission. You are known to be capable and trustworthy.

Bodies have been appearing. You are to investigate. She has a hunch it may involve cults. If so, we are empowered to defend ourselves.

She thinks there are 3 related bodies. 1 has disappeared, but 2 are still being guarded.

These bodies have been appearing around the Docks district. A body is in the Docks Market. Guards are protecting it. The second is to be found at the harbormaster's office. He is Jinn. There is a 3rd, which was reported but seems to have disappeared. They were all reported at the same time, which is why she has mentally connected them. That 3rd body was initially discovered in the Swamp Docks area. That semi-autonomous region is controlled by the Zahaguin tribe of fishfolk.

If we discover cultist activity, we are to report our findings to her. She can be found here or at the Beached Leviathan #2, a tavern run by a friend of Neverember.

We select the harbormaster as the first destination. We arrive. The harbormaster is unconscious in the middle of the room.

Combat with shadowy creatures. We prevail. We saved the harbormaster who gives us some information. Most of the information came from viewing the body.

The body was covered with etchings, staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. We also discover a shipment of purple pufferfish destined for Barbous Chateau, a noble house. We are able to collect valuable poisons from the dead fish. See loot.

The body is female, high elf, elderly, in a ball dress. One of our party members says she looks familiar, but can't fully recall. Something about snow. (Later on, we discover Yuki is Japanese for snow. That's her name: Yuki)

Next, we travel to the Docks Area. The murder area is blocked by Wintershield Guards. They agree to let us pass once we point out we are investigating for the good of the city. On our way we are joined by Kavori Fairheart. Even she couldn't get past the guards, something about jurisdiction.

Another female body, surrounded by blood, too much blood for a humanoid creature.

Combat -
This time we are faced with 2 red jellies (gelatinous creatures) and 3 clear ones. During combat our druid blasts 3 clear ones with lightning. Oops. They split into 6 instead. They (the red and clear) have resistance and/or immunity to a lot of our damage. Nonetheless, we prevail.

After the battle, we continue our investigation.

1
The blood is dragon's blood. And the body has the same appearance: staples and bolts at the wrists, ankles and neck. In this case, we can see the limbs are mismatched.

2
The etchings are in a language we don't know. Our druid casts a spell. She learns the etchings refer to using the soul like a battery.

Finally, there is an eyeball in the corpse's mouth.

4
This corpse is a human female, in her 30s, also in a ball dress.

Something about Bella (incomplete notes: perhaps name of body).

Something seems to have changed around the time of the "defeat of the Red Wizards near the coliseum." (See movie: Dungeons & Dragons for more)

End of session.

Loot:
Each vial of poison can be kept (by one player, not replicated) or sold (and split with the party). The party decided to sell both and split the gold. (Otherwise, the item should be Purple Worm Poison, customized to be from Purple Pufferfish. Isaiah, indicated the poison was remarkable.)

Gold:
2000 + 2000 + 500 = 4500/5 = 900 each.

We also each get 1 healing potion.

Grathi Slywarrior, goliath Pa-1/Wa-4 (Greg)

We start in Baldur's Gate at the Adventurers League Hall in the lower city. It is a 3-story building. It's raining. As each of us enters, we are greeted by Yola at the front desk. She knows we've been requested. She provides a place to gather, the bar.

We are being asked to provide security for the Suhunka Trials (games [Olympics]) in Shugapoor (city). The job lasts for 12 days. Each will get 200 gp.

We enter a separate room. A stone goliath sits in front of a bowl. We are asked to sit around the bowl, too. He is:
Kurjhateeka, a priest.

The 3 great cities are involved in the games.

Aravati temple (?) in Maravarey (?)

Nisha (nickname) in Manivarsha is the target of our protection.
High River Singer (priest) Plabon is our contact.

The goliath begins a ritual around the bowl, recognizing the 4 gods and 4 cities.
Joltara - mountain, sky, rain, ice, snow; White
May Yoo - plains, wine, generous, bounty: Green/Emerald
Irravati - curious, cunning, quick, silver-tongued; Blue/Sapphire
Aderow-hit - missing city, find your children; Red

Shell, mix
We see a city image. We are asked to enter the bowl and are transported, 1-by-1, to the city in the market square.

Tents, vendors, a stage near the temple, all on a quay. This is:
Shah-gah-poor.

Humid, hot, balmy.

I spend 10 silver for 2 more rations.

Tidal waves engulf the market square while Nisha is dancing. 2 hostile turtles are deposited. We fight them to save the citizens, while attempting to protect Nisha. Next wave, 2 electric eels are deposited. Nisha decides to take shelter in the temple. Keyrie accompanies (carries?) her. A third wave, this time imbued with glowing red light. Keyrie sees Nisha turn to water and vanish. Meanwhile the rest continue the battle. We prevail.

We talk to Plabon.

He said the red wave brought up emotions, jealousy.
Manivarsa was destroyed by a red wave in the past. That's when the city was lost.
Since we were offered 200 gold each, he alters the deal. We get 100 now and another 100 if we return Nisha.

Session ends.
Long rest is approved.

The dragon known as the Verdant Cloud, Verthandantalynx, had 3 children. They are now fighting for the territory in Phlan.

Her mate was (why were we told?) Vorgansharax.
Internet doesn't say Vorgansharax was the mate.

Q: What module... ?
A: If it it an Epic you are probably looking for the Season 1 Epic The Corruption of Kryptgarden. It features Claugiyliamatar (Old Gnawbones). Season 1 of AL also features Vorgansharax (The Maimed Virulence) and his takeover of the city of Phlan. One of the Tier 2 AL Myth Drannor modules also briefly features Verthandantalynx (The Verdant Cloud) as a quest giver.

Verthandantalynx (Verdant Cloud) had 3 children, 2 daughters and a son.
brother: Gwyr
sisters: Berdea & Verdian

copy/paste
Verthandantalynx (VER-tha-DAN-ta-links). The former mate of Vorgansharx, the Maimed Virulence, she is also known as the Verdant Cloud.

"Verdian"
Viridianantallax (Veer-id-eean-an-tall-ax). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Viridian is strong and uses his strength to intimidate lesser beings.

"Berdea"
Berdeanostia (Bar-dee-a-no-stee-a). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax. Berdea cares little for anything but making sure her next meal is nearby.

"Gwyr"
Gwyrddentuliar (Gwee-erd-en-tul-ear). One of the brood of Verthandantalynx and Vorgansharax.

Often, I will use brother and sisters.

The fighting of the sisters is wreaking havoc on the villages of the forest. Get them to leave, or kill them.

First village. Prevented kobolds from running away. Asiah. He unwillingly gives information. They are supporting the dragons, hoping they will be rewarded once one comes to power.

He gives us information. We force him to lead us to his contact.

Too many names:
Yuoli, elf
Vastanaz, wood elf, probably working with dragons
Eltruella, no idea.

Found amulet/locket.

We are taken to the probably traitor. He's terrified. Mentions the locket. We trade. He pays way more than it's worth.

He's working for Gwyr. He will take us there. We let the kobold go.

We arrive at cliff face. Gwyr looms overhead from his cave.

We dialog.

At first he demands 3 uncommon magic items. Later, we persuade him (I don't recall what we said, DM: noted certain words) to accept 1 single magic item, the something Elf Blade. It is rumored to be found recently. We must return to our in order to gather information.

If we bring that sword, he will leave.

Elmwood
Rumors of eccentric archeologist, Corolla (clearly misspelled), rumored to have found something at ancient elven ruined outpost along Dranthor River, formerly owned by Acvalar Army of Cormanthor (elves).

We learn he used a boat which has returned with some of his expedition. He was behaving with a strange lack of care for precious artifacts.

Travel -
Harbor.
Hire boat, the Green Reach, Capt Grant Condor.

C1
Hydra & 3 baby hydras.

Debark
Enter ruins
Attacked by demons (fiends), (of 2 types? perhaps short on miniatures), in hallway.
C2

Man standing there. Run! Later, take my bags and run? Later, help me!
We fight
C3
We get out with 3 bags, the sword, and the "archeologist" who is clearly just a tomb raider, bandit.

We return with the sword. It's not the right one. It's the rumored one you sent us for. He relents and/or gives us the location of his sisters.

C4
2 dragons.
