Highharvestide: preparations and ceremonies

The various peoples, faiths, and cultures of the realm prepare for the changing of the seasons and the Highharvestide (go check them out in game before reset).

The Dwarves in their cavern dwellings

Wood Elves in the misty forest

Humans in their townships

and farmlands

High Elves in their settlements

Malarites in lawless lands

Talosians in pirate bays

(((edit> and of course less than 2 hours after I set all these things up on a fresh server... it crashes... *sigh* I hope someone got to see the malarites stomping around in Soubar at least. The setup in Kraak was cool too.))).

TO EVERMEET

A group of elves traveling up the sword coast on the long exodus to Evermeet arrive in Doron Amar for a brief respite and the hospitality of their brethren.

Duchal Court II

Several factions of the sword coast meet with the Dukes to discuss the state of the realm and its troubles. Servants spread rumors of a meeting which started cordial but ended in raised tones and tension.

Several Drow guard corpses are laid out in Sshamath as injured guardsmen tend their wounds.

An angry drow wizard yells at them for their incompetence, kicking several corpses. A party of drow and their entourage speak to the mage. Shortly after, they depart to the duegar compound in Southern Sshamath, and from there descend deep into the mines.

RAID ON ROARINGSHORE

A small armada of war galleons was seen suddenly being loaded up with Flaming Fist mercenaries and leaving port in the late evening. They sailed north.

Several hours later, in the dead of night, alarm bells rang out through the well known pirate alcove of Roaringshore as the armada approached. Several of the swifter and better prepared captains were able to hoist their sails and leave port with ships designed to outrun such large and cumbersome war galleons. The slower and more rum addled soon found themselves pinned by the blockade.

The rain fell hard that night, but the shelling from the armada upon the cliffs of Roaringshore fell much harder. Those who sought to leave by land found themselves confronted by a small contingent of Knights and Paladins, bolstered by a group of elves, cutting off their escape.

Battle raged throughout the night, but it did not take long for the Flaming Fist to secure the settlement. Several captive pirates were loaded upon the galleons as they sailed south, knowing full well that most would face the gallows on the morrow.

Word soon spread throughout Baldur's Gate and the Lords Alliance of the Duke's victory in cleansing roaringshore. While the impact on piracy was moderate, as those pirates who were cunning enough to survive the onslaught would double their efforts in the coming weeks as they sought to secure resources to rebuild Roaringshore, the moral boost and esteem earned by the Duke's and their allies was substantial.

I will be taking an extended break from DMing in game at the end of this week, probably until mid February or so. I will still be checking forums and PM's, though perhaps a bit less frequently. Most of my ongoing plots are wrapped up, and those which continue on should be open to other DM's. Happy Holidays and happy gaming!

Graverobbers in Triel find pair of still warm bodies, seemingly attacked and left for dead. They are seen dragging the bodies to Soubar, where the alchemist is said to have healed the two. The would-be grave robbers seemed quite happy with the reward they received.

A prisoner is brought in after a beating to offer some comfort to a prisoner in an adjacent cell. A roguish red-haired man... he seemed a man of ambition, and moxy.

Two young members of the order of the Radiant Heart were admitted to see the Duke's. They left shaking their heads with a less than content look on their faces. It once again appears the trials and tribulations of court are not well suited for the pure of heart.

A large black panther is rumored to have been seen or heard stalking the woods of Sharp Teeth at night. Local rangers are dismissive about claims of such an animal venturing so far out of its natural environment.

A Glimpse of the Divine

Several adventurers appeared at Temple of Tempus in Baldur's Gate. They had prayed at the shrine of the Red Knight. After some time, they fell asleep on the floor. The high priest of Tempus chose not to disturb them, and to give them sanctuary for the night.
