Entry #525 - Clerics and Judges

(G525 20/05/2023 via Roll20 - JF(GM), AP, KT) WA116

[Fenrir and Reinward have been tasked with staging a coup in the city of Westgate to stop the evil vampire lord the Night King from doing the same. Just recently Fenrir gave all his captured enemies over to the Night Parade.]

DAY 546 (Shieldmeet)(August) cont ...

Back at home, in the evening Fenrir gave everyone that still worked at the house a 5gp bonus for putting up with all the recent events. Since that was 25 people, the total cost was 125 gold.

DAY 547 (1st Eleint)(September)

There was a big festival in Westgate today. It was an end of summer celebration local to the Dragoncoast area.

In the morning Fenrir woke up wondering what could be done "pseudo-legally" to bring the king back. He wasn't sure and thought he would have to speak to one of the judges.

He contented himself with hunting out Yntar Shieldblazon and asking a few questions.
'Do you bards all talk to each other?' he opened.
'Of course,' said Shieldblazon.
'Cool, cool. How much would it cost to start putting out the word, in songs and stuff about how awesome it would be to have a king again?'

Shieldblazon went as white as a sheet. He leaned in. 'Listen! I've a fair idea of what you are up to - and I don't want my head on a spike thank you very much!'
'What have you heard?' asked Fenrir.
'Enough to know that yours schemes may well not succeed!'
'How about for 20 gold?' asked Fenrir (who had recently been giving out bribes of 50,000 gold!) Shieldblazon stood up. 'Lovely seeing you again - byeeee!!'

Oh well, thought Fenrir. Don't I have a spy master or something, what was his name again? He went to the Watch Barracks to find him. He was looking for Reogeg Eysmile, who you may remember was not a spy master as such, but the leader of the Watch rogues ("The Fingers") and also in charge of 'internal affairs'. Fenrir had previously been warned by Dresdelle (his old boss) not to go anywhere near Eysmile.

Eysmile had an office in the barracks, but his secretary said he wasn't in today.
'Huh, well let him know I'm looking for him,' said Fenrir.

Later in the day Fenrir and Reinward went to the Temple of Lathander. This was the largest temple in Westgate and it seemed like a good idea to start getting the churches on side.

It is known as the "Morningstar Haven" and the current head cleric is Lady Sunrise Tylanna of the Seventh Rose. The temple is also home to 24 other clerics of Lathander.

Lady Sunrise was very happy to be visited by the Crownbearer of Ilmater.
'To what do we owe this honour?' she asked.

They requested a meeting in private and Reinward said;
'We are here to discuss, I am here unofficially... erm... envoy... as the chosen one of Ilmater. I want a high level meeting to discuss a temporary alliance to combat the vampire threat to the city...'

'And the corruption inherent in a power structure that has been infiltrated by the undead,' added Fenrir.

'Well,' she said. 'The Church of Ilmater and Lathander are already allies. If there is anything we can do to help the rebuilding of your Temple...'

'The biggest threat is the vampires...' Reinward went on to say.

'Yes, but we are...'

'Don't interrupt me!' cried Reinward most rudely.

Lady Sunrise gave Reinward a very dark look then said, 'I apologise, please continue.'

Reinward had already forgotten what he was saying and sat in silence.
