Traded an unneeded sentinel shield to Eskane Balezta, a Bounty Hunter and sharpshooter with a hand crossbow. These gloves will help me become almost as effective as Tigre at disarming locks, but they will make it virtually impossible for him to fail doing so.

Dani attended the funeral of an adventurer who fell while in the Citadel of Vlaakith.
Gained Blessing of Health

While in the Yawning Portal, I had a bottle of wine with Anorak Fireweaver, a Hobgoblin agent of the Lord's Alliance. He and D-Con were talking about evocation theory — you know how those finger-wiggling wizards get when they start showing off their brains—and Anorak showed us this shield that can reflect magic like my Mantle. Said he found it in a Necromancer's Spire near old Zhentil Keep. I figure that would look a lot better over the hearth in my room than that Staff of Power I took off that dead Shadowdusk insect wizard, so I made a sweet trade. Put it up next to that floating Dwarven keg lid shield I got a few months back.

Traded the Belt back to Sorren Blackbanner now that she's very Strong.

Trade with Sorren Blackbanner until lvl 20.

Returned Reshii's GreatAxe to him now that I've got an upgrade.

Got a message from a Harper contact, Kalte Snowbound. He'd been paid for a job with a greataxe that he said I needed to see. he was right. I know he's a fighter, not a musician, but since he's a Harper, I traded him that harp we took from Arcturia. I'm pretty sure he'll find someone who wants it.

While holding down my usual table in The Yawning Portal, I met a barbarian from Icewind Dale. She was Reghed Sky Pony tribe and called Westra Nayisdottir. She had a unique breatplate made of an always cold dark scales. Some kind of magic dragon-construct. Never seen anything like it so I needed it for my collection.

Gave her that belt I'd loaned to Reshii so long ago. I do like a good barter.

Story Award: In Your Debt You successfully brought back the entire missing adventuring party. All four swear to repay their debt to you.

The party completes their fight with Halaster, destroying the Mad Mage (temporarily.)

Danifae finds a strangely fashioned pistol amongst the Mad Mage's assortment of oddities and applies her Opal of the Ild Rune to the weapon.

Dani also used the elemental gem (emerald / water) in the final fight with Halaster.

We find mirrors that make shadow copies of our party members. A brief struggle disables the nasty contraptions. Exploring the corridors, we eliminate two or three dozen goblins and bugbears, then track down a party that had been charmed, knocking out the blackguard that held them entranced. The Thayan wizard ran through a portal, but we couldn't make it work. I'm sure that's not the last we've heard from them.

We recovered a bronze mask shaped like the visage of Halaster Blackcloak. (50g) Keeping it with us in case it's useful later.

Assigned to guard duty for Junior, JB's experiment? Kid? Golem creature? Who knows what the hell D-Con actually counts as. Beats me, but Parts is a member of Bregan d'Arthe, so he's okay. Good spellslinger and handy in a fight.
He wanted to go meet a contact for a bottle or two of Zzarr down at the Yawning Portal Inn and I didn't mind that. But then he goes and promises some folks—that he just met!—that he'd venture into Undermountain with them. Couple might know what they're doing, like the archer and the genasi. The tiefling is completely wet behind the ears.

I mean, this is not too inconvenient since I had a contact I needed to check on in Skullport, but I was expecting 8 easy and boring hours of drinking ale. Messing around in an insane arch-wizard's tower? That's dumb, and worse if that insane arch-mage is Halaster Blackcloak.
Anyway, I paid our money to Durnan, the Yawning Portal's owner. Like you haven't heard of him. You better believe I used my expense account! ...so our strange crew was lowered in a big tub on ropes and pulleys to the first level of Undermountain.

First thing down there, one of them found a one-way secret door to the north side and left an unscouted passage behind us. This is going to get bad. Then Parts the wonder-boy falls through a door when trying to open it with his Thieves Tools. A door with stacks of plates on the other side. The racket is an alarm and within a minute, there's a doppleganger and some human bandits running around in cast off vampire spawn clothing. Not very convincing and they all died pretty fast, but a nuisance all the same. Pulled a few usable items off of them, but no real treasure.
How's Parts follow up with an encore? Decides to sit down in an ancient alabaster throne carved like snakes and gets poisoned half to death. I was thinking this was going to be a looong night, but I might have just been pulled into active dungeoneering duty for a few days or a week.

The party regrouped with D-con & Phash, offloaded some of their loot at the goblin market, then began to explore further. We found and slew a gargantuan gelatinous cube, discovered a decomposed wizard's apprentice in a room filled with 20,000 gallons of water (and recovered his glass wand arcane focus, which sold for 25g.)
Just above that room we then discovered the headquarters for a group of Xanathar's toughs lead by Shunn Shurruth (a LE male drow cursed with the eyes of an arachnid.) Shunn, Dani & D-con parleyed, agreed no quarrel is needed and Shunn offered us a finder's fee of 50gp each if we recover and bring him a stone key from some wererats that stole it from him.

Moving through the tunnels, we came on a tunnel with more gricks, another grick alpha, a pair of carrion crawlers, and flesh golems. Beyond it lay an altar to Dumathoin, the dwarven god of secrets and mining and in the chamber beyond that one was a library occupied by 4 more flesh golems and a flameskull.

The battle with the gricks and the flesh golem continued through a rough curving tunnel. On the other side I disovered a laboratory with all kinds of tubes full of lightning and a floor of copper. Sooty copper after D-con heard my warning that there was another half dozen flesh golems over there. He sure does have a gift with fireball. Practice, mostly.
The lab was under the control of a floating flameskull, too, but this one threw lightning bolts instead of fireballs. D-Con assures me this is very unique. We burned and slaughtered the flesh golems, but the flameskull retreated through a door. Once I slaughtered the last of the big fleshy jerks between me and the door, I find it's arcane locked. * grr. RAGE. * Geran did a masterful job of opening the door, where we found 13 large barrels of embalming fluids, all with ghouls climbing from them, slavering and staring at us. Ghouls are just so gross and unneccesary.

But get this, with them is a 12 foot tall stone golemstatue lumbering toward us to protect the damn ligntning-flame-skull... who immediately tried to electrocute me with a lightning bolt. D-con read the damn thing's diary or whatever looking for new spells. He said the rude bitch skull is what's left of a Halaster Apprentice called Trenzia. Trenzia is a sucky, awful remains of a person and she should go bother someone else.

We cleaned up the ghouls fast. (fireball + embalming fluid makes a big boom) and then hacked, chiseled and cracked away at the golemstatue trying to pulverize TenK. ... 10K. Then'kai? I don't even know what language his name is in, much less how to spell it.
Point is, by the time we had won free of the room of ghouls and golems, the skull had vanished and we could find no trace her. In our search, we did discover a trio of wights that beat the unholy night out of me. That sucked way worse than the fleshy guys or the stone statue guy, but Aidan was patching me up and keeping me on my feet while we drove back the undead scourge. I still think it would be very helpful to have a not-a-revenant-cleric or paladin around in times like those.

After I got smashed by the wights, we found that room had some quality veins of copper. Made notes on the map. Will sell some copies to the dwarves for a good bit of coin. We headed back up to resupply at the market and rest overnight. Goblins are turning that place into a semi-respectable hub and their prices are at a much lower markup than Durnan. I like Durnan, but he knows what he's got and he prices like it.

Looking for the path down to Level 3 and skullport, we found a dead hafling adventurer that got stuck in an armoire in an old bedroom. Poor guy. Found the rest of the giant spider colony he was running from too. We were too late to save any of the humanoids the arachnids had taken, but we did a pretty good job with our pest extermination.

The only unexplored dead end on my map of Level 2 is that room with the undead, zombie beholder that Aiden discovered, so I guess that's about to be a thing. Oh, joy.
Long Rest, Blessing of Corellon d100=[[53]], Dani remains female.
Danifae's share of found wealth (+47.6g), purchased the found silvered dagger (-102g)
