Session 4: Main Game Recap "Swell Comes to Dravens Port"

Swell Rasp starts on Captain Keth Brightwater’s boat, "The Feathered Princess". The two are old “pals”. One way or the other Keth managed to get his ship into the bay and to dock in Dravens’ Port, even though the port has been closed for 2 days now. Also on the ship were: An infamous Dragon Knight, Devrik the Fire Warrior (party met him). A well-dressed looking human Dragon Knight named Sir Luther Dundragon (party met him). He has some sort of book in his hands that he keeps clutching. A gold Dragonborn Dragon Knight named Sir Kriv Kwahylon (didn't meet him, just heard). 4 other diplomats and dignitaries: Elbrechte (party met him), Tolande (party met her), Geron, and Ashanti. A bird-man (Kaaska) has been on the ship, talking to Keth. He has been coming and going over the last few hours. He seems tso be giving Keth information. "The Orc Prince" Behyla Sahiva and his brother Urdimsh Sahiva. The gamed started with Behyla having Urd invite in Swell into their quarters for a gentlemenly discussion. After some quite talk, they exited the room and had a friendly game of cards. After a  round, the Dragon Knight Sir Devrik the Fire Warrior came out of the room and joined them in a couple games for money. Playing were Behyla, Urd, Elbrecht, Devrik and Swell. Elbrecht won 4gp the first game, and Behyla won 8gp on the second game. Alson in the room was Sir "Not Appearing in the Screenshot", aka Sir Luther Dundragon who was holding an arcane tome of some kind with runic writing on the spine of the book. After the game, everyone went back to their quarters. There was a disturbance upstairs on the main deck, and cloaked man Kaaska and a young woman in leather with a red hood (and vest?) came down and talked in Auran. Swell and Urd came out to check on things. Kaaska slipped to the door below the stairs to go to the bottom hull while Anna got up and began talking with Swell and Urd. Apparently her and Swell know each other. After realizing she was stalling while Kaaska slipped downstairs, they moved around her and went to follow him. One of the dignitaries, Tolandre, followed Kaaska downstairs. In the bottom hull were some twitchy looking fellows (8, maybe?) talking with Kaaska, with two sitting on barrels below the stairs staring at Tolandre. As Swell made his way to go further down deck, Sir Luther offered his paladin's assistance if it was needed. Swell suggested he check topside. Sir Luther eagerly made his way above deck with Elbricht following close behind. Swell made his way into the stairs while Urd watched as Anna walked to the door of his room, knocked on it and spoke with his brother. Tolandre recognized the men in the hull as wererats in human form, and went back upstairs, muttering "They're wererats" as she moved past Swell. Swell motioned for Urd to follow him and they both went in the stair well. Urd, mistaking Swell for a rogue based upon his bad attempts to cheat at cards, began talking to him in thieves' cant. Two of the wererats moved forwards, the others were now in the back unable to be seen, and had a conversation with Urd in thieves' cant. They gave Urd a little bit of information about Tolandre. She was a little preoccupied while David's power went out, and when she regained her senses she had two wererats staring at her while Swell and the large half orc Urd directly in front both turned around to suspiciously eye her. She immediately left. Elbricht was topside with Sir Luther watching Keth have a conversation with a young green dragon. The dragon asked some questions and left. Not long after they docked. Kaaska and Anna wanted to talk with Swell. Behyla went off toward's Orcs' Town, Urd went off to visit his cousin the apothecary, while Swell, Kaaska, and Anna all went to Orcs' Town as well but traveling slower. Before leaving the ship, Swell wished goodbye to his old pal Keth, while slipping two rings off his fingers, one worth 30gp and the other worth 90gp. He said goodbye, tool Keth to take care and tossed the cheaper ring back to him. Shortly after Anna and Kaaska gave Swell a run down of game events to date (caravan attack, weird talismans, etc), 20+ skeletons attacked. Anna ran off, Kaaska hid on a roof, and Swell turned to run then was cut down by 8+ skeleton arrows. Fortunately, he was just incapacitated.
