setting off in the Belle Venture), and August 24th, 2:30 pm on day 26 on the
isle. After dealing with a couple of Shambling
Mounds inside an abandoned market square area and finding a possible potion vial and a clerical scroll
with Cure
Serious Wounds, Remove Curse and Neutralize Poison, upon written upon it, the
party heads a bit north eastward in the town to what was once an old temple,
now in ruins with the swamp right on it’s eastern edge A search of the place and
around the broken altar did not find anything of value other than bedrolls
scattered about as if some group currently sleeps here. While at the ruined temple 4
crocodiles come up out of the swamp and the party throws various meats from a
bag of holding at them hoping they would go for it and they do. Next up the party travels
south into the Market District of the Forbidden City and arrive at the north
side of the dwelling that a merchant has mentioned was home to Yuan-Ti half
bloods. Not wanting to engage any that may be inside the dwelling they move on
to where the bath house is and enter the building. Once inside they see several
large baths all currently occupied by lizard men, likely from the Poison Dusk
tribe. A Lizardman calls out, “Hey
look we got company! Hey you guys, It’s our turn to use the baths!” Without saying a word the
adventurers, just leave the bathhouse and make their way to a temple area,
guarded by Gnolls. From there they make their way to an Exotic Goods building
and enter it. In the hallway, two sets of double
doors are visible just a short way down and the west doors are opened into a
large room storing crates and boxes marked cinnanmon, saffron, sugar, paprika,
etc. Opening the opposite set of
double doors on the other side of the hall, they see it has wine casks and mead
barrels stored in the large room. They move farther up the
hallway and open a door into a lounge
area with sofas and tables. There is a stairwell in the middle of the room. So
up the stairs the party goes and at the top are greeted by 4 locked doors in a
square area around the stairwell. Grax, tries to pick open the south west door
first and was successful, rolling a 49% while needing ≤ 52% Grax, opens the door into
what looks like a luxury apartment, with a nice bed, a desk, a round table and
chairs and a wardrobe. Grax tries the south east
door next rolling a 62% on his open locks ability, needing ≤ 52%, so the this lock does
not open for him. Jiggling the lock made enough
noise for the apartment’s occupant to hear and so he calls out, “I’m busy going
over today’s ledger of goods arrivals!” Maevis says, “Oh great, we’re
here to do some business, trade some stuff.” Perking up at the sound of
someone wanting to do business Xltixchuk, the lizard man merchant trader says, “Very
well! Hold on a moment!” Xltixchuk, gets up from his
desk, goes over to the door and opens it, “Hello! Now how can I help you?
Always, looking to trade goods here!” Maevis says, “Hi! We are
looking to open a trade route to this city.” Xltixchuk says, “Oh, Well in
that case, Please come in and have a few seats if some of you wish to sit right
over at the table there.” The adventurers move over to
the table some sit, the others stand around. Xltixchuk says, “So from
which city do you hail from?” Maevis says, “We are from
Kron (the capital city of Thayis).”
Xltixchuk says, “ Ah Kron! A
nice and rich city indeed. What sorts of goods are you looking to trade and for
what in exchange? Goods or cash?”
