Morning as it so often does comes after the night before the sun rising from these is light scattered by the fog that fills the harbour in boulders gate It talks onto the river. As the sun warms the walls of the sea tower of the boardroom, we focus in on Brom, who is laid in a hospital bed, barely breathing. He is not alone. He was accompanied by his long standing friend offers a Brown. Brown looks to comfort brawn in any way possible. But unfortunately, all he can do is offer prayers and reminisce about better times. And Browns family, wife and children, trying to rouse Brian into some sort of health. Brian must be sensing this subconsciously stirs and begins to awaken. Outside of the seat out of the boardroom, the Flaming Fist headquarters here in the harbour. Our group approached the doors and with please hand requests allowed entry in into the headquarter of the Flaming Fist and is here they are asked their business and when challenged they are say that they are here to see. Bron brick born who had been stabbed the night before and they brought into the CETA they are able to gain entry into the fortress once they've gained access into the main courtyard. A young probationary member of the Flaming Fist is questioned about the whereabouts of the infirmary where Brom must have been taken the night before. He says he will lead them to it and that is in the main structure just over to one side. As he guides them in, they go on several flights, winding corridors, they enter what seems to be a more clean and sterile area. stabled horses and things are down in the courtyard, arms, munitions and other supplies seem to be kept well away from this area and they approach a desk behind which is a older looking gnomish lady in white attire. Well turned out well pressed, she seems to be dealing with paperwork, and their questions as to bronze location, draw some intrigue from this elder lady's face. She identifies herself as the matron of the ward and calls across one of her nurses, who then quietly and respectfully lead the party through to where Brian is staying and recuperating. As the party going to the door. Brown stands up and wipes a tear from his eye, as Brian seems to be stirring from his slumber, saw uncomfortable but alive, barely. After a brief exchange of words and pleasantries. brownie forms Brian that. If he was to need any further help than he should find him at the headquarters or the three old kegs And that he should really make sure that he files a report within the 10 day. The group move into the ward and begin discussing the events of the night before with rather large overdramatic expressions from the group and a nurse appears at the doctor to quieten down. Bron feeling well enough after this exchange to sort of get up and move is told that he will be discharged is short notice he's able to gather his things the tool up and they come up with a plan.
Their intention is to go and see Captain dodge in his office here in the sea tower the border on the Flaming Fist headquarters, which is a relatively easy task, if only more than one of them knew where they were going. Brom. Unfortunately struggling with a small amount of fatigue plan, they decided to go and find Captain Zod. Who should be In his office here in the seat out of the flaming fists headquarters here in borders gate and as they make their way through the building having geared up and and short everybody was ready to move they approach captain's on his office and outside of which is a reddish purplish skinned tiefling gentlemen who polite but rather abrupt in his tone in forms of the captain Zod is not in the sea tower is not in the headquarters this day. He has gone to fight the core tests across at the batlas gate to the east of the city, and that if they need Him, they should report him straightaway. The party consider their options and decide that this is indeed the only course of action they can take. They have been tasked with finding him and find him they shall as they begin moving out of the seat Are the boardroom down into the city. Raven is struck by this guilt knowing that he has to speak to nine fingers keen. You can't just leave an invitation like that hanging in the air. Sooner or later she will get what she wants and she will find you. And it may be in a manner uncomfortable, shall we say. With this information in mind, the team travelled through the districts of the city, following around past borders, mouth, newspaper, and they can hear the shouts of the of the murder spree that's happening in the in the city and the the absence of the Grand juke order Raven guard, and all this news and there's hubbub and there's traders and people moving around, and then weave their way through the city being led by Raven a native of the city and as they make their way towards the elf song tavern, or even decides that it is now the best time To speak to nine fingers keep moving in to the elf song Tavern as they enter the soft rhyme rings out.
This joy

not as though it has been waiting for them but convenient. It sounding although the bar appears to be quite busy, it seems quite quiet as the moment after this poem rings out but across the bottom Even spots are very plain looking lady. She wears brown cloak, nondescript boots, hair cut in nondescript way and if it wasn't for the way the bodyguards stood either side monitoring the situation, and her hand missing a finger holding up a glass to drink from she could have been anybody. Definitely nobody but revenue better and is even approached and the bodyguard stepped across nine fingers, waves them off. Oh my lovely. Ah, aren't you do me a favour. There's a sword in harsh religion that I know you have been in, because I know you've had a dalliance with the lady of the house. I need you to collect for me. Or even. Yeah, it's not just for me though, is to be moved on. So you are not to fail. All right. I'll be paying mommy's little establishment of visit. She understand. Raven understands perfectly begrudgingly. And knowing his place in the pecking order, especially with the Guild, he accepts. He's been given a 10 day to achieve the task. But there were more hurdles than he anticipates. And he knows this. The exchange of nine fingers complete. Revision guides the group back onto the streets and heads up through the narrow alleys to the main roads. As the party continue through these way district and head north east towards the massless gate. They heard a strange sound a female voice in distress and that the clanging of metal on metal, but short and sharp and swift, that the screens or the cries for help are relentless and and tired and catches the party's attention and as they move along, they can see along an alley, knelt down hiding behind their shield, a female form the party peering around and taking stock of the situation, decide that all they can see is cultists attacking a lone individual. And this individual needs their help fearlessly. They decide to engage. Thank you for listening. If you'd like to learn more about the show, then go to WWW dot Snyder's return.squarespace.com.
