RECAP
The group of adventurers are summoned to see Bartholomew, who reveals to them an impossible demand – that those known as A+D, theoretically the names of Heaven and Hell, want the Stormtamer’s daughter in exchange for the Farport, a fleshtrader’s city. Faced with an impossible demand, they set off as quick as they can to Farport, taking a blind ratman’s ship, along with a new companion, Masud. On the way, they are accosted by two strange looking dolphins that wail a melancholy tune, but they slowly dissapear when Safana begins to sing back to them. They are set upon by two giant squid creatures, which they dispatch easily, with no small assistance from Arithel. Their captain, K’zinn, falls prey to the squid’s acid, leaving them stranded a few hundred feet away from the port. They go drinking and attend a slave auction after teleporting ashore. Eachra ends up buying a Faerunian harlot for a considerable sum of gold. Safana pays off the bartender to spread the rumor that they are in town and ‘not looking’ to be found. They hole up in a cheap palatial inn outside the central auction block, waiting for their prey to find them.

When you arrive in the living room, you find that a lavish breakfast has been set out for you – porridges steaming, roast quail, dolphin, swordfish…
Arithel: “Why such luxury…”
Sanjinn (Eachra): thanks
Campaign saved.
Meich: “This city is very decadent…. full of… overindulgence.”
Sanjinn (Eachra): I hope we do share a wall :P
From the open archway to the balcony you hear the bustle of the largest auction block in the city preparing for business.
Arithel: “Clearly. And lacking in morality as well. Some feast while most others starve.”
Meich looks somewhat ashamed as she has just sat down with a whole roast quail.

Safana pats Meich on the shoulder, “Worry not; it is not in our power to aid everyone, and we do no-one a service by forsaking such a bounty.”
Meich: “The food will be ruined if we do not eat it..”

You hear the first auction of the day – a large three masted cargo ship.

Safana: “A shame it had not occurred to me to view this as a business trip; I could have asked the Stormtamer for funds, if such an opportunity arose..”
Arithel takes a plate of food over to the window and watches the auction.

The auction is fairly lively this early in the morning, and the boat goes for a mere 6,000 dinars, to the applause of the gathered masses. The next item on the shopping block is a set of six identical looking scimitars.

Campaign saved.
Safana: “Impressive display, at least.. for the price, I wish I’d bid on the ship.”
Arithel: Keep an eye on the bidders, see if any might possibly be A+D.
Safana: “I haven’t the funds on me, but one never knows what can be arranged..”
Arithel: “Hmm I actually havent done a count myself of what I have. Maybe we could pool our funds and get a bargain on something.”
Arithel: “I have 614 Dinars.”
Safana: “A respectable sum. But unlikely to go far in ships.”
‘Doug’ connected
Arithel nods.
You see a few strange creatures in the bidding: One very beautiful, very obese elven woman. One massive looking barbed devil. A shimmering creature that seems to made entirely of wisps of clouds.
Kiergath (Safana): …A beautiful, obese elf?
Alex: Yes.
The bidding for the swords closes up at 15,000 dinars.
The next auction opens up a model ship, made of pure jade.
Kiergath (Safana): Are we talking classically beautiful but now considered overweight in today’s stick-thin culture, or is she a whale with a nice face?
Alex: B
Campaign saved.
Kiergath (Safana): K, you understand the confusion.
Arithel: Are we too far away to be heard if we wanted to bid?
Alex: You can bid from the balcony – it seems that’s what it is designed for, as there is a marble mouthpiece built into it.
Safana: “A jade model of a ship? Its pretty, but not much use..”
Arithel: “Would make a nice souveneir for Bartholomew.”
Safana: “I don’t have the budget to buy souvenirs for those with a higher pay grade.”
Safana: “Certainly not when the souvenir is made of solid jade!”
Arithel: “Ah is jade an expensive stone?”
Arithel: “I have no training in minerology.”
Safana: “It is considered precious most places, yes.”
‘Doug’ disconnected
Arithel: “I see. Well whoever buys it then will likely be one who commands a great deal of coin.”
Safana: “Perhaps a nice robe, perhaps with a quaint message embroidered upon the back.”
The auction closes with a sale of 600 dirhams.
Campaign saved.
Nick (Arithel): dirham = silver?
Alex: Yes.
Safana: “Lower than I would have anticipated.”
Arithel: “Indeed.”
The next auction up: a cadre of twelve clay golems, sworn to obey any command given to them by their master, armed with wicked looking weapons.
Arithel: “Such loyal guards would be invaluable to providing security.”
Safana: “Now we see where the money can be found..”
Arithel listens for the first bid.
The first bid is for 500 dinars.
Arithel: “This may be a once in a lifetime chance.”
Campaign saved.
Arithel moves to the marble mouthpiece and shouts into it, “600!”
The crowd lets up a cheer, and the bidding drives up to 650.
Arithel: “… was worth a shot.”
Safana: “It was unfortunately inevitable; a first bid that high…”
The price quickly climbs to 1000
Campaign saved.
Safana: “It makes me wonder if there’s more to this place than our initial assessment may have indicated.”
Arithel: “What do you mean?”
The bidding for the golems finishes up for 20,000 after a quick round of bidding.
Safana: “The slave auction was fairly low key; so far in this, we have had a ship, a set of blades, fine art and a company of magical constructs.”
Next up on the auction block: A golden lyre.
Safana looks on with somewhat renewed interest.
Bidding opens at 50dinars.
Safana: “Fascinating, but.. not something I’d normally use.”
Arithel looks over at Safana.
Arithel: “100!”
Nick (Arithel): ^ into the speaker.
Campaign saved.
The bid rings out loud and clear, and the gavel slams down, ending the auction.
The Lyre dissapears from the block. Moments later, there is a knock at the door.
Safana is sitting there somewhat speechless, blinking in confusion in sort’ve a “What just happened?” fashion.
Meanwhile, a new auction has begun: What appears to be a long uncut branch, called “sapient pearwood.”
Arithel silently heads towards the door.
Arithel opens the door cautiously.
There is a short, red tinged man with slicked black hair. His forked tongue flicks in and out of his mouth – he holds a Lyre on a platter. “Your payment, please.”
Campaign saved.
Arithel: “Yes, one moment.”
Arithel pays the man 100 dinars plus a 3 dinar tip.
The man smiles, bows and leaves.
Arithel walks back over to the window, “A token of friendship Miss Safana.”
Arithel holds out the gold lyre.

The next auction on the block is a massive keg of wine, recently recovered from a thousand year old shipwreck.
Safana is too busy fiddling with the lyre.
Safana: Skill [Perform (String Instruments)] [1d20+20 = 40]
Kiergath (Safana): …oops?

Safana begins playing the Lyre and the sound brings a tear to everyone’s eye – the auction grinds to a halt, and Meich actually has to excuse herself as she is overwhelmed with emotion.
Masud casualy walks into the room, sits back in a corner and signals for a serving girl.
Leei rushes over to serve Masud anything he desires.
Masud beams a smile at Leei. “Wine, please and something to break my fast.”
Doug (Masud): Leei a female and what does she look like if she is a female?
Kiergath (Safana): Leei is Eachra’s pet.
Doug (Masud): Oh
Kiergath (Safana): She is a walking elven wet dream
Doug (Masud): Arnt they busy still?
Kiergath (Safana): Its been awhile.
Kiergath (Safana): She may have worn Eachra out by now and be looking for a new victim.
Doug (Masud): Umm.. well Eachra is umm.. new at this whole thing and needs practice… she knows some refreshment spells to aid in stamina…
Kiergath (Safana): Exactly, she’s new to dealing with a raving nymphomaniac with a lifetime’s experience; she’s probably out cold. :P
Doug (Masud): :P
Alex: LOL
Campaign saved.
Lets just say that Leei whets Masud’s whistle.
Safana: “Ten thousand dinars well spent indeed…”
Doug (Masud): I will let her sit in my lap while we watch the auction…
From the Auction Block: “Next up, the painting, the Storm’s Daughter!”
Safana almost drops the lyre as she darts to the rail.
Masud sits up almost dumping Leei out of his lap, but nimbly retains his hold. Listen intently auctioneer.
The auctioneer has the painting brought out – it’s small, no larger than Safana’s head, but details the most exquisite looking female face you’ve ever set eyes on.
Kiergath (Safana): Doubtful, Saf owns a mirror.
Nick (Arithel): lol
It looks to be some sort of water nymph.
Safana: “Storm’s Daughter? That can’t be a coincidence..”
Eachra comes stumbling out of her room, hair all amuss, face flushed & clothes bedraggeled.
Arithel: “So this is what they meant.”
Campaign saved.
Leei: grabs at Masud. “Hey, eyes over here buster.”
Eachra: “What was that sweet thang? Spank you for being naughty? Maybe later, we may have business to attend to. /em beams a smile at her

Masud looks at Eachra “umm.. her or me?”
The Auction bidding is lively… the fat woman seems to be holding her own, despite having retainers holding her up.
Leei shrugs and walks off to one of the suites. “Why choose one?”
Safana: “You are both missing the point; they are selling something they just called the Storm’s Daughter; and Stormtamer was supposed to deliver HIS daughter here.”
GM: She dissapears behind a set of doors.
The bidding has reached 50,000 Dinars.
Eachra looks at Safana “Wait, what? His daughter is a paiting?”
Campaign saved.
Arithel: “It may be, it is too coincidental.”
Safana: “Stormtamer has no actual daughters, so far as I am aware of.”
Safana: “That was the entire problem, the demand made no sense.”
Masud: “So the painting is what they want then, why? It is just a pretty face. Whats so special about that one?”
Arithel: “And now with the bidding reaching 50,000 its additionally an impossible demand.”
Safana: “Not so..”
Arithel: “Wait, let us remember the demand, was it actually for ’Stomtamer’s daughter’?
”“color:#000088;”">Arithel what was the exact demand Gm?
Nick (Arithel):
Alex: Give me an int check
Arithel: Intelligence check [1d20+4 = 15]
Masud: “Well I could train the fat thing, kill her and her boys an then take it from her dead sausage like fingers”
Masud: trail*
Safana: “With that much money, I doubt her guards would be susceptable to such things.”
Masud: “You could entertain them with that magical voice of yours while I run her though, or if you want to avoid my fouling my blade in that filth then I can just pinch it from her while she is overwhelmed by the magic that you are. /beams a smaile at Safana
”“color:#660066;”">Campaign saved.
GM: Arithel, it was clearly the Stormtamer’s daughter being bargained for.
Safana smiles slightly at the praise, though her overall expression darkens somewhat, “If we were sure this was our target, or even if we could believe it was bait for us, we could simply place an outlandish bid and seize it when it was brought for payment.”
Safana: “More likely, we could attempt to seize it where-ever they arranged to make the exchange.”
The bid is approaching 200,000 dinars.
Masud Winks at Safana “Yes but that deprives me of getting to her your wonderful voice while I work.” /em lets out a dramitic sigh and a quick smile. “Selfish arnt I?”
Safana: “A little, but I won’t hold it against you.”
Safana: “Arithel, your thoughts? You’ve been oddly quiet.”
Campaign saved.
Arithel: “I do not like the idea of stealing this item in order to meet the threatening demands of our enemies. I would suggest an alternate plan though a simple and effective one eludes me.”
Safana: “The item is likely stolen anyway.”
Arithel: “That is a convenient rationalization. It is valuable and obvously very valuable to A+D. What if we were to have a counterfeit made?”
Safana: “In.. less than a day?”
Masud: “Maybe once they start blowing the town up, she will drop it in her haste to flee and we can aquire it then. Give it to the people and then we lose only half the town maybe 3/4th.”
Arithel: “I do not know. This is quite a bind.”

Arithel: “It was by my memory, clearly the Stormtamer’s daughter being bargained for.”
Safana: “Perhaps, then, you think we are getting excited over a false alarm?”
Masud: “so were back to the begining then. He does not have a daughter that he knows of and Safana says she knows of no daughter. This is just a ploy to get you all here to kill you.”
Arithel: “And I know this place is far from perfect Masud. I would like to see the corruption and tyranny purged from this place. But in doing so innocents will suffer, we have to do all we can to prevent that.”
Arithel: “Or at least minimize it.”
Safana: “It is still early in the day, I am sure that anyone looking for us knows we’re here by now, or will.”
Masud: “There is no such thing as an innocent, everyone is corrupt in some way, shape or form.”
Safana: “Innocence can be overrated.”
Arithel eyes Masud with narrow eyes.
Arithel: “Let us wait and see who wins the auction.”

Clay: “…enemies?”

Eachra: “Don’t scare Clay, Saf”
Clay: “You have enemies Eachra Eyrni?”

As you step further into the warehouse, there is a sudden pop of displacement before you. A shimmering being seemingly made of air takes female shape, with glowing red eyes. To her right, a short, squat winged dwarf stands with a large battleaxe at the ready.
Safana: “Charming.”
Woman: “Did you bring her?”
Safana: “Who am I speaking to?”
Masud: “Why hello to you, and you are?”
Woman: “I am the Devil who stalks the seas. Did you bring her?”

Devil: “Our employers asked for her. Some sort of blood magic I presume. To perform otherwise would be unwise. If she does not exist, however, then we have no business here. This island is of no consequence in the great scheme of things.”

Safana: “One last question, since you’re about to kill us all anyway, who are your employers?”
Arithel: “What right have you to judge how others live their lives as long as they do so peacefully? So be it that you detest the ocean and its people, let them be, they are not harming you!”
Devil: “I suppose it would not hurt for you to know that both Heaven and Hell have requested you be terminated. I do not know what you have done to deserve such ire, but I pity you your short lives.”
Devil: “I have every right! I am strong and they are weak! Peace has no bearing in civilized society!”
The dwarf grins at Arithel menacingly.

The Devil’s form dissapates, as though it has never been, all that remains are two rubies that have cracked in half.
From above, there is a grunt, a shout, and a giant metal form comes crashing down on top of the dwarf!
GM: [2d20 = 9]
Kiergath (Safana): erhm.

The water elemental pummels the figure around the head, the force of the water crushing it to a pulp, barely missing the metal figure on top of it.
Arithel: “What the?”
Safana: “Too bad Farport’ll never know any of this happened..”
GM: The figure, soaking wet, stands up and shakes her hair out. A familiar voice mutters. “…you guys were having a whole bunch of fun without me, it seems…”

Masud goes over to make sure the Dwarf is dead and search the corpse
Safana: “Sorry, we sort’ve left in a hurry.”
Safana: “And I wouldn’t call it fun, really.”
Arithel: “Glad you made it though Meich.”
Arithel: “Not that we really solved any of the mystery. We just opened more questions.”
Eachra: “Thank you for the timely assault, Meich! That axe would have hit me otherwise.”
The dwarf has a greataxe and a rather hefty breastplate.
Safana: “We know Heaven and Hell were behind this, that they hired these two.. and that they wanted a fictional daughter of Stormtamer, probably to use as a spell focus.”
Two slots have been cut out for his wings.
Eachra Strip him of everything of value
Meich: “How would a fictional daughter of the Stormtamer help them?”
Doug (Masud): damnit
Arithel: “We dont know but it is something we can use as bait to lure them out.”
Masud strips him of everything of value
Safana: “Because they seem to think that she’s not fictional.. which makes me wonder if Bart doesn’t know about something.”
Arithel: “He admitted to bedding many women.”
Safana: “He also said, if I recall correctly, that most of them sailed with him.. that makes it difficult to miss a daughter.”
Kiergath (Safana): or am I miss-remembering, DM?
Campaign saved.
Arithel: “Maybe that picture that was sold at the auction might hold some clues after all.”
Doug (Masud): I think I remember him sayingthat too
Arithel: “I dont know.”
Safana: “So.. we stay in Farport and investigate, or we return to Islas.”
Masud: “Well the city wont be destroyed, yet at least. So we have a little time to figure it out.”
Alex: Not mis-remembering.
Alex: He sails with his salt wives
Arithel: “Just to be thourogh, I say we take a look at the picture, inquire about its origin, and if that gives us any clues then leave back to Islas.”
Safana: “Then our first order of business will have to be finding out where it went… since we left before the bidding closed, didn’t we?”
Arithel: “I believe the plump elf woman won the auction, though I could be wrong. Oh my poor memory.”
Arithel: Intelligence check [1d204 = 21]
Safana: “Plump? That was not plump. That was obscene.”
Arithel smiles despite himself.
You never saw the close of the auction.
Campaign saved.
Arithel: “You are right though, we didnt see the end of the auction. Suppose we will have to inquire about.”
Safana: “If we truly believe a picture of a nymph could have anything to do with a daughter of the Stormtamer…”
Masud througly goes over the dead dwarfs corpse.
Masud: Skill [Search] [1d20+10 = 12]
Doug (Masud): sigh
Masud makes a strange noise when he finds his hand slightly stuck up the dwarves ass as he is searching the body thoroughly.
Nick (Arithel): just take 20 we arent rushed
Doug (Masud): bleh
Nick (Arithel): good stopping point?
Doug (Masud): not THAT throughly, but since you feel the need, did I atleast find a kings ransom in riches?
Kiergath (Safana): with a 2?
Doug (Masud): :P
Safana shrugs, “If you feel the best course of action is to pursue the painting, that is what we will do.”
Kiergath (Safana): agreed, stopping point?
Alex: Sure thing.
RECAP
Arithel, Safana, Meich and Eachra wake up in the most elegant of suites, finding a veritable feast in the morning awaiting their consumption. During the meal, Arithel buys a golden Lyre for Safana. In witnessing the auction, they hear news of the Storm’s Daughter – a painting of unfathomable beauty of a sea nymph. They discuss the best way to obtain the painting, before Arithel realizes they’re chasing false leads. They accompany a boy to a meeting place, bringing their slave Leei, but forgetting to get Meich after she began crying. They meet with the Angel and Demon in the abandoned warehouse. After dispatching them, they return to investigate the painting.

Kiergath (Safana): nothing, we’re staying for the painting.
