Two Weeks Have Passed...

Lharvion 14 - Lharvion 28, YK 998

Since your adventuring band made its way into the Cogs to find a lost Cannith foundry and recover an ancient schema for Lady Elaydren d'Cannith. In the meantime, your characters have been going about their usual duties for Morgrave. Hoping for more work from Lady Elaydren, you have begun making weekly (and sometimes more frequent) excursions to the House Sivis message station in Barmin Tower, usually as a group but occasionally on your own. You have also been involved in the following:

William - William was called in to speak with his Uncle Maresh d'Deneith the day after he returned from the Cogs. His Uncle told him sternly that he knew what William had been up to, and then the facade cracked and he told him how proud he was of his adventurous and skilled nephew. "What your mother doesn't know," Maresh said with a wink, "certainly won't hurt her." He cautioned William about the dangers of adventuring, however, saying that if anything happened to him Maresh would have hell to pay with William's mother. He also arranged for all of William's messages from his mother to be routed through the Sivis message station at the Barmin Tower (in the Dragon Towers district of the Middle Central Plateau) rather than picked up by a house servant, to make it easier for William to covertly check for any messages from Lady Elaydren without his mother getting wind of it.

Brand - A message has come in from his mother, Sheryn Wayfinder, via the Sivis message station in Barmin Tower. "Looking forward to your next visit. A friend in a faraway location has sent you a gift for your next birthday."

Tock - Tock has been spending most of his downtime in Goath's artificer workshop, learning and perfecting the secrets of brewing potions while he begins his lessons on wondrous items at the same time.

Lysander - His old teacher Chiarlan (has been in town, performing a variety of new stories and songs learned in Zilargo from the gnome bard Herschel Proudhome. He is performing with (and learning from) the great gnome bard Kessler at the famous Khavish Theatre in Upper Menthis (see Sharn: City of Towers p. 66). He has been teaching these songs and stories to Lysander, as well as passing along some information gleaned in his conversations with the information-hungry gnomes. He has heard that the Emerald Claw is on the move, with a line on some sort of powerful artifact from before the war. He has heard that there is a new skyship being built called The Golden Dragon as a monument to the peace of the Five Nations, and that it is supposedly the largest skyship ever built. When he said he was coming back to Sharn, Herschel told him to be careful, as he'd heard that the Inspired had infiltrated some of the most powerful organizations in the city.

Chiarlan has also been able to get Lysander a job as an understudy in the nightly performances of Kinlen's Folly, a musical comedy being performed at Gailan's in the Torchlight District, which is a big step up in Lysander's career. (see Sharn: City of Towers p. 78)

Pel - Pel has made his monthly visit to The Cracked Mirror in a separate identity from his identity at Morgrave. The Cracked Mirror is located in The Callestan district of The Lower Dura Plateau, coincidentally the same district that holds The Broken Anvil tavern, where the adventurers met Lady Elaydren for the first time. The Cracked Mirror is a front for the Tyrants, and Pel goes on a random day each month to check in with Xain, a changeling loyal to his father, to pass on any new information gained at Morgrave. This time out, he's passed on the information about Lady Elaydren, the schema they recovered, the Lord of Blades' interest in it and the lost Cannith foundry and its location in the Cogs. His father, in return, passes on the information that Cord has gotten them embroiled in a turf war with Moloch, an ogre who runs a Daask cell in Lower Dura, over the distribution of dreamlily. In short, be more cautious than ever of the Daask in the area, who are taking out the feud on any and all changelings in the area.
