Infiltrating The Rising Star Meeting
====================================


.. topic:: Info

    *Location*

    - :ref:`night-and-shadow`
    - :ref:`waterdeep`

    *People*

    - :ref:`bertram`
    - :ref:`einarr`
    - :ref:`gramdoul`
    - :ref:`knuckles`
    - :ref:`searos`

:ref:`searos` cast ``Seeming`` on the :ref:`party` and we each took on a new persona:

- Bjorn: "Einarr", a generic Human with a scarred face
- :ref:`einarr`: "Björn", a generic Human
- :ref:`gramdoul`: "Glorin", a younger/teen Dwarf
- :ref:`knuckles`: "Zidi", an old Dwarf with his hammer disguised as a cane
- :ref:`searos`: "Stacey Fishpants", a small Human

We enter the :ref:`night-and-shadow` in small groups:

- :ref:`gramdoul` and :ref:`searos`
- :ref:`einarr` and Björn
- :ref:`knuckles`

We're each directed up a set of stairs next to the door.
The stairs lead up to a landing which doubles back on the stairs.
Two doors at the end lead to furniture storage and a private bar.

We're invited into the private bar by a middle aged Dwarf who turns out to be :ref:`fargas-thorngage`.

30-40 people were there, cross cutting society/classes.

We push to do more, Fargas tells us they're not violent movement and encourages us to find other like-minded individuals.
With further pushing the :ref:`party` is invited to another meeting after this one.

After the meeting the :ref:`party`, :ref:`fargas-thorngage`, and 8 other members of the meeting hang back.
Fargas leads us to a hidden doorway at the top of the stairs.
We descend a staircase to a cellar where there is a hidden entrance to what we assume is the :ref:`down-shadow`.
