Notes
The Harpers summon allies to ***Suzail, capital city of Cormyr***, and to the Dragon's Jaws tavern. In a meeting there, High Harper Remalia Haventree reveals a beholder-related Artifact is rumored to be entering the city in the next two days and the city is endangered. Given three leads, the adventurers with Wil select to visit Lord Potrick Huntcrown, the Spymaster of Suzail. Turned away at the gate, we enter via sewers, clearing several traps and stealthing past the guards. The Lord has messages from ***Scorn***, a Zhentarim wizard warning that the artifact mustn't be taken by a noble house. He also has a Manifest showing Lady Deandra Thistledown has imported a large number of "perfumes" that are highly flammable and unstable. She is attempting to prove her claim to the crown of Cormyr. There is also rumor that she is allied with the Zhentarim who have been smuggling items into Suzail for Thay. Those smugglers are using undead or wearing masks, indicating that their cargo could be noxious. Visiting the Lady Thistledown, we discover that she has placed all of the evidence aboard the *Dolphin's Dream* at the Stoutbold Marina. No information she gave us indicated any nefarious goals. Leaving her manor, we were ambushed by a pair of *half-dragons*. When questioned, they revealed they were hired by House Truesilver and Crownsilver to impede anyone assisting Lady Thistledown. Meeting back at the Dragons' Jaws, we put information together with what other teams learned. The Zhentarim smugglers were found dead from a gas attack and the magically sealed chest they smuggled was stolen. Lady Thistledown was implicated in the attack. We responded to a report of a Purple Dragon Knight in need of support. Aven Konigchy, a junior Purple Dragon Knight patrolling the north end of Hunt Bide district, overheard three criminals duscussing destroying Huntsilver Manor (home of Lady Thistledown), but we couldn't get more information from them. Speaking with some urchins, they reported that magic users were protecting a chest that was being taken into a manor near Garth Street. The adventurers were dispatched to the docks, while the Harpers and Dragon knights protected the Promenade and raided Huntsilver Manor. It appears that Lady Thistledown was innocent of any wrongdoing. While the Harpers & Dragon Knights took some losses, he adventurers were able to destroy the Thayans and prevent the artifact from being exported to Thay. **Story Award: Qualith Psi Crystal Retrieved** You retrieved the Qualith psi crystal from the Suzail docks before it could be sent to Thay. *+ Potion of Greater Healing, Potion of Heroism, Spell Scroll of Revivify*
