Luskan

South of Bryn Shander, West of Mirabar, and North of Neverwinter, Luskan is a small port town.

Giant Attack

We could see a tall spiral of smoke rising from the port side of the town as we arrived. Further investigation revealed this to be the burning ship of a Giant raiding party. The local wizards, of the Host Tower, had pelted it with fireballs, setting it ablaze. The towns guard cordoned off the ship with boats of their own.

Malcon’s Side Quest

Malcon and Searos went to investigate the docks and smoke pillar after we arrived. Leaving Searos at the docks Malcon rented a boat and went out to the burning boat. The guards attempted to stop him, where upon he threw two in the water and clamboured aboard the Giant’s boat. After freeing some slaves he found:

  • 3x Potion of Water Breathing

  • Map of the Sword Coast

  • Scrolls written in Giant

Also sustained a bite from a Giant to his midsection.

Meanwhile Searos entertains an old lady at the docks and sees the commotion Malcon has caused. Running back to the rest of the group, who were doing a Shopping Episode, he has to deceive some guards that he has nothing to do with Malcon. Malcon reappears at the same time, says Sheriff and Host Tower are after him. When Rickard tries to cast magic on Malcon he pulls a pistol crossbow on him and a lady in the crowd notices, we all leg it.

When leaving the town a guard thinks he recognises Malcon. Gramdoul pulls his sheriff’s badge and says the party is transporting Malcon back to Bryn Shander to face prosection for thieving and bribery. Rickard casts Suggestion on the guard to lock the deal down.

Hosts Tower Wizards

A contingent of wizards from Arcane Brotherhood lived in the Host Tower. It was based on a small island in the estuary of the town. Wearing black robes and all appearing to be High Elves the townsfolk kept their distance.

Wandering Stranger

A lively bar in a boat on the river. We all, excluding Malcon, stay there for the night. Before sleeping Searos and Malcon attempt to engage some Host Tower wizards in conversation and get nowhere. Conversation with Mr Bell happened here.

Rickard’s Troubles

Mr Bell, a Goliath and independent contractor in the employ of the Mirabar Consortium arrives. Accompanied by Mr Goodhat, an Orc in a hat. Mr Bell informs Rickard he owes the Mirabar Consortium 220GP within 24hours for letting their sheep out last time they were there. Failure to pay will result in the loss of his knee caps.

After the party leaves him for bed Rickard continues drinking with Mr Bell and Mr Goodhat. He persuades them to let him repay in installments.

Mirabar Consortium

The local trading presence for Mirabar. They have a walled compound in town with a water tower. It seems they keep livestock within the compound.
