I'm sure someone took note of the date.

The party: Myself, Ssrin, N'sir and DUSK

Athkatla... what a ripe plum of a city. More wealth concentrated there than in most of Faerun and I suppose I could not expect my welcome to be warm considering the company I was keeping. Now, that's not to say they weren't useful. The snake has a very reliable way of disposing of remains, and one should always know a good cleaner. The construct - DUSK - has an interesting business she's started that could be very lucrative. And that... drow woman.. a handy sword to have on one's side.

The Captain of the ship upon which we sailed was charming in his way. They were moving gems. We chatted, I had a look at his ledgers and the Zhanye family name came up. Something I'll need to go back and research.

We did manage to fight off undead pirates and an attractive but menacing Cambion. Sadly, he lived to fight another day and I do wonder what the motivation was for such an assault. I suppose more will become clear with time. Another small pay day and a step closer. I really should work more often...

Another Syndicate business expansion, this time to Athkatla, and the big boss made sure that we knew this was a really important one. He's an odd character for sure, an odd presence to him, but that's for another time.

I guess the drow and tiefling nobility weren't a bad pick for this job, even including the construct... can't say much about the naked... snake? lizard? creature. Even so, apparently we found the snobs of the snobility, but an impressive city indeed, with nice lamps and awful heat. Why do I always end up in rich and blazing cities?

A test was given for our worth instead of decent pay, figures, to assist a trade to Baldur's Gate by ship; it seems merchants are always being ambushed. But this time it was worse than lycans or snake-lion creatures: an actual ghost ship of pirates and fiends on top of it, nearly felled by that damned cambion... but at least the cargo was unharmed and managed to sail away from what remained of the assailing ship.

At least we didn't fuck it up as Thraxx hoped, and possibly some future dealings with the devils in the future, but who knows which are which.
