After completing the journey by sea from Leolin to Waterdeep the party is exposed to the City of Splendor. Registering with one of the Black Robes on the dock, the party split with Seebo and Dennis travel north to the Field Ward (after attempts to report Rosko’s murder) and the rest follow some of the disembarked crew to the Yawning Portal. Seebo and Dennis meet Boc, Seebo’s home companion, at his prior residence off of Shanty Lane in the Field Ward. The remainder of the party makes themselves home at the Yawning Portal, observing a brawl, meeting Hup, and dealing with an ogre trying to escape the pit. Additionally, the group at the Yawning Portal also were introduced to Volothamp Geddarm who begs them to find his friend Floon who went missing 2 days ago after a night of drinking.
The next morning, Sariel and Hup head north to go shopping in The Market, running into Seebo and Dennis there. A pair of sending stones catch the eye of Seebo, who unwilling to pay the high price plus city taxes and registration, hatched a plan with Dennis and Hup to steal them. Failing to fool the City Watch and Black Robe who took interest in them they were immediately caught and sentenced to either 3 months of hard labor or 1000 dragons in fines each. Some quick talking by Sariel reduced the fine to 1000 dragons total due by the end of the week at their local City Watch Station.
The remainder of the party made their way to the Dock Ward to look into Volo’s friend Floon. Gleaning some information over expensive flat ale, the group stumbled upon a warehouse finding a dozen dead humans. During their search, 3 Kenku were able to escape before the arrival of a dozen City Watch led by their captain Hyustus Staget. The City Watch is able to apprehend a 4th Kenku that blabbered on about the sewers and Xanathar. Hearing friendly voices Renaer Neverember yells out for help. Spilling the beans on his night with Floon the group is pointed to the sewers as their next destination
Trekking through the sewer, the group comes up a guarded intersection and sets off a skirmish with 2 goblins hiding behind arrow slits. Quickly making their way through the hideout they come across Krentz, the man who was taken out of the Yawning Portal unconscious the previous night and the duergar Zemk. Killing Zemk and securing the door they had been distracted by, Belgwyn, Faris, and Fionne push on. A quick skirmish with a half-orc and intellect devourer (minus the mind flayer that escaped), the party saves an unconscious Floon and returns to the Yawning Portal.
The whole party is reunited at the Yawning Portal. Exchanging stories of their days they are greeted by an ever grateful Volo. Volo is short on coin though, so he offers up a deed to a property in the North Ward, the Trollskull manor. He also vows to make arrangements to meet the party there in the morning to have the transfer witnessed by a magister.
