Hidden: show

Thalantyr the Conjurer at his estate at High Hedge near Beregost tasked a group of less experienced and less-prone to over complicate adventurers with finding a magical antler from a magical beast sighted near Gullykin. He told the adventurers to not harm the creature in doing so. The adventurers set out for the beast and found it to be an enormous ethereal looking male deer like creature that ate rocks and seemed to grow in size as it did so. The adventurers also discovered that the creature would dramatically shrink and lose its ethereal tint if dispel magic was cast on it and that it would shrink slightly if reduce animal was cast on it. Eventually, after multiple failed attempts to tame the beast, the adventurers paralyzed it and cut off one of its poorly attached antlers. The beast then ran off, but the adventurers then were waylaid by a poacher seeking the creature. The adventurers refused to help the poacher and the poacher attacked them, killing three of the adventurers before being killed himself. The beast then suddenly returned and miraculously restored the three fallen adventures to life and health by merely licking their faces. The creature then ran off for good and the adventurers returned to Thalantyr for payment for collecting the reagent, after gaining minor explanation to the conjuration research that Thalantyr wanted to conduct with it.

Hidden: show

Antolina Burgoz, well reputed Amnian economist and tax collector for districts in Northern Amn, delivered a public lecture on the Amnian economy in the town square of Beregost after being introduced by well-known Amnian horse breeder businessman Jose Craumerdaun of the event-sponsoring Amnian-Beregost Commerce Society. The lecture began marvelously, but in the middle of the lecture, Burgoz was attacked by an armored figured assassin and taken to the nearby Song of the Morning Lathanderite temple for treatment, while the alleged assassin's body, now dead from an arrow allegedly fired by an adventurer at the assassin and a poison capsule that the assassin bit down on, was taken to the Beregost Barracks for investigation. The Amnian authorities also briefly detain one man for questioning about the attacks, a man who claims that he attacked the assassin assaulting Burgoz and tried to save her life, and he is released after the line of questioning ends. Another man viewed suspiciously by some in the chaos allegedly ran off after the attack.

Participants: Numerous.

Rewards: Given to those that volunteered to RP positions before the event and that did extra RP during and after the event.

Calling in Sick (January 11, 2015) (Level 1-10 Only)

Hidden: show

Some Baldur's Gate caravandock loaders at the East Gate of the city request aid of folks to help unload caravan crates from a caravan from Waterdeep and place the cargo in a warehouse in the Docks District of Baldur's Gate, offering 100 gold a person in return. A few adventurers respond to the job offer and the dock loaders tell them that they need extra hands as a few of their shift left a note that they were out sick from work. The adventurers take the crates to the dock warehouse, only one of them dropping a crate on the way. Arriving at the warehouse, a warehouse worker greets them and tells them to put the crates inside the warehouse. Inside, the worker begins to cough moderately while explaining to the adventurers where to put the crates. A large number of rabid rats attack the group and the adventurers eliminate them, puzzled at why so many rats are about. The worker dismisses the rats as a problem and then begins a severe coughing fit, coughing a feathery gray-like substance all over Evette Tyrden as other adventurers are able to dodge the man's cough. At this point, one adventurer flees the scene, while the others try to quarantine themselves in the warehouse. After some debate, the remaining adventurers decide to investigate where the rats were coming from, thinking they may be causing the illness. They then find two dead corpses with a similar feathery like substance on their dead torsos. At this point, Evette Tyrden begins to show moderate symptoms of an illness herself and leaves to go be treated by a priest along with two companions, heading to the Temple of Torm in the East Gate District. The rest of the adventurers investigate the two dead men and find Baldurian citizenship papers on them as well as the name of one of them: a man named Pete that was addressed in the docks district of the city. This group then heads to report the illness and the dead to the church of Umberlee nearby in the Docks District. A member of the Umberlee church convinces the adventurers to pay tribute and pray to Umberlee if he agrees to send some priests to the warehouse to take care of the illness and the bodies. The adventurers all then regroup near the Flaming Fist headquarters and go back about their business.

An F-Series Caravan (January 18, 2015)

Hidden: show

A caravan of two massive and heavily fortified Ysnomm Carriage Company Speartop F-Series carriage models contracted by the Crymmar's Holding Company of Amn to the Sword Coast Exchange company arrives in Nashkel under the command of Jose "Colonel" Toiga. There, the Colonel consigns the two Speatop F-Series carriages to the Exchange to be delivered under contract for guard and routing onto a buyer in Waterdeep. The long journey north under the Exchange caravan guard is uneventful until just north of Daggerford, where in a pass the caravan is ambushed by a female dwarf distraction and her fellow bandits. There, one of the horses of the caravan is killed and the caravan nearly doomed, until the caravan guard were able to persuade a greedy traveling gnome to sell his horse to the caravan in exchange for a scroll that could summon a dog, as the gnome had some eclectic obsession with canines.

Heading on, the caravan was ambushed yet again by bandits, but the Exchange guard powered through and headed onto near the entrance to Waterdeep, the city of splendors. Upon confirming delivery of the Speartop F-Series models with a Crymmar's Holding Company representative at the city gates and a city guard, the caravan was suddenly alerted of a coming ambush seeking to steal the Speartop F-Series models. The attackers were fierce, even including a powerful necromancer bandit for hire, but they failed and the shipment was protected. The adventurers found a marked item on one of the dead attackers with the Waterdeep Caravan Syndicate corporate logo on it, implying that one of Ysnomm's competitors was attempting to disable or steal the advanced carriage Speartop F-Series models in one last desperate attempt. The cargo saved, the Crymmar representative thanked the exchange members, paid them as promised, plus an exchange amount for good service, and had her people bring the cargo into Waterdeep.

Anger Under Quarantine (February 12, 2015)

Hidden: show

A mob of upset sailors, angry about being stuck in the Docks District of Baldur's Gate due to the plague quarantine in the city, gathered near the docks, and near dead plagued bodies, complaining and moaning, nearing violence, about not being allowed to leave. Some adventurers upon finding out the Fist was not removing all plague taken corpses from the streets of the city district, started doing it themselves, dumping the bodies in a small purchased rowboat and burning and blessing the boat into the bottom of the harbor. Additionally, some adventurers eventually approached the sailors and calmed them down a bit, although one particularly rude sailor, which the other sailors rolled their eyes at and ridiculed, kept joking about being in contact with plague infect people and coughing and kissing the adventurers to try to provoke them. Eventually, this rather crude sailor, tried to drown himself out of frustration, not really convinced to do otherwise by adventurers gathered, of being stuck in the Gate in the harbor, some adventurers rescued him while deliberating over how to save him from suffocating on water filled lungs, he died, and refused resurrection.
