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...

Now, I will be first to confess that I am often working these little… side quests… as a means to enrich myself. A lady does have a standard to uphold, after all. For the most part, I don’t mind. This Syndicate is full of capable people that seem all too happy to put themselves in harm’s way.

Frankly, I’m happy with them staying between me and that harm as often as possible.

A sad little village of orcs was full of plague. It was dreadful. We were asked to track down the source and did so to a barn some of their urchins had visited. There we found a group of pixies that mentioned a sound that was stirring them up something awful.

The trail led back to that damn village. The whole thing was the fault of a sea hag that couldn’t keep her vile frog-child in line and was creating chaos and illness. Utter trash, as far as I’m concerned. They were dispatched, thankfully. I’ve earned myself a new pair of shoes, I think.
