_____________________
48700 / 5 = 9740g per each (remaining) character
Floon - we paid off his 500g gambling debt in exchange for a 5yr work contract in the bar
Volo also asked for money and we told him to fuck off
Davil Starsong (Zhent) paid us a visit asked for 5000g
Monshoon is trying to take over the Zhentharim
Von gave it, and also they gave us a piano for the bar
Lyf plays the piano
Lyf tells us that Monshoon killed him
We got a note on the door - "Under Mountain Beckons - See You at the Yawning Portal"
____________
try to keep up with bar expenses
4 new staff for Pickled Lyf
Musk, Wear, Brown, Haus
The Claymohr wink
Force Grey - vigilante, correct justice when law fails, they've helped us out in the past, etc.
Force Grey is no longer involved with City Guard, Capt Stagat is dead
Say nothing, trust no one, Don't trust Captain Everbrace
signed Blackstaff
large massacre in the castle ward, battle between Xanathar Guild and Zhentarim
Everbrace "found [Stagat]'s house on fire", and then the guard keep/Stagat's captain's office on fire (this was an INNER office)
Stagat doesn't have family and stuff, Everbrace was trying to "put affairs in order" and such
"Who is trying to destroy Capt Stagat's memory and why"
Leads? Mentions Vajra - "was seen" near Stagat's house and was "around" the city guard tower
people tailed her to this general area
hands us a bag of gold before leaving - will pay for all information
we're on the visitor's list at the guard tower
Blackstaff Tower? Dock ward. Looks collapsed but isn't
Blackstaff is a wizard? It's Vajra
Everbrace is 100% lawman - won't like vigilantes
Monshoon is the creator of the Zhentarim... clones
After the death of Monshoon, beholders split from the Zhents to create Xanathar's
Xanathar needs to find something in Under Mountain
Monshoon left us the door note (under mountain beckons)
Obaya, cleric of Walkin - can sell her magic items
might be able to send us from Yawning Portal to Under Mountain
Go talk to Durnin at the Yawning Portal
Obaya - Priest of Waukin - on mission to bring magic items back to where she comes from
We get lowered into the UnderMountain
Looking in the Undermountain for some clue to Monshoon, Xanathar, etc.
Bugbears that collapsed - a creature called "intellect devourer" can possess someone and eat their brain and live inside their head - it can flee via teleportation if it senses danger. No one's really survived enough to see the real thing
Fireballed some goblins
Giant suit of armor trying to cast spells at us, but nothing happened, it backed away at our approach
Room with pillars and an arch
Found book under an old invisibility spell - The Great Adventures of Sepinsky - an action-packed diary of a gnome, slightly overblown, from 150yrs ago. Princess Yum Yum has it
The last few chapters read weirdly:
Halaster (wizard?) - they're looking for him. Halaster sees us. He's coming after us. Halaster's Gates - either outside or deeper. 1st one we activated was great, 2nd one sent us some gates,
Halaster is watching, Halaster will kill everyone.
Halaster memory - early in my childhood, some crazy thing happened far away that affected the world - The Spell Plague
The plague gave people the ability to cast spells, or really affected advanced spellcasters
Some time around there, a big and powerful wizard named Halaster, secluded underground looking for the Weave
(what gives everyone the ability to use magic)
In the diary - a picture of an old man with a big nose and huge beard labeled "Halaster?" - just like the mask we found earlier (which had Halaster inscribed in the back)
Gate (arch between pillars) seems to grant invisibility, but if you go through multiple times it hurts you with a lot of force damage
1hr of invisibility - everyone except Princess YumYum
Intellect devourers eat all the information you have, so it can pass as you. But it does have to eat a brain
Next room:
A couple dead bodies in a room
Writing on the wall in infernal says "speak to me"
note from someone says "Halaster says don't speak to the dead"
scratched into the wall "Halaster makes you pay"
Old elf man wanders into the room, Keller, he was a member of another party
Doing some research in the deadbody room
Spoke with the dead tiefling
Halaster thinks he can silence me
Level 9 - Secret Academy - Arcane Brotherhood will not stay a secret
Halaster was training an apprentice "just like her" - Jhesiyra
The Arcane Brotherhood tried to infiltrate, he thought I was a spy and killed me for it
"Look for the little dwarves under the mountain - one of them hides the key to my heart"
We go back to the Yawning Portal and stay the night. It's a full moon. Von Wrath doesn't sleep in the same room as Princess YumYum
Esvele Rosznar - fancy lady, recommended to us by Volo, heiress
Brother Kressando Rosznar (22yr old, fair skin, dark curly hair, platinum signet ring, diving falcon on blue - "Fly High and Stoop Swift") having meetings with Xanathar guild, messing up family name - setting up slave trading in Skullport (an undercity town)
Bring update of his whereabouts or bring him back alive - Her house would owe us a favor
Von Wrath is now a shifter (longtooth)
Volo tells us - Capital city of old elven kingdom, crazy old wizard (the "Mad Mage") tried to build a tower, but he built downwards - the hole in Yawning Portal is the remains of that tower
Eye Hardstone dwarf
Beyond the pillar forest, the mad mage waits, casting spells behind magic gates
Glowing sword, emits dim light, curse - prevents its wielder from dropping it - it'll teleport back into their hand
Battle with "vampire" gangsters
Now a handful of them are playing cards in a room?
