”Not exactly a good person” as a shadow sorcerer.

Tea/Theo Tea Myers:

Custom Tabaxi lineage that Tora created.

Gil/Bararandir “Gil” Gildur:

Niles/Niles Dexter:

Halfling rogue who is going to be trying to infiltrate things and disguise himself.

Faeth/Feath Wolfe:

Half elf paladin who is lawful good.

All of the characters have been interns at Acquisitions Inc. with one even being stationed at the headquarters. All the characters are given a memo to report to the headquarters for a meeting with the CFO to discuss a very important task they have been handpicked for, which is promised to not be dangerous mostly. The characters arrive at the meeting hall and are greeted by the CTO, named Archebald Round Bottom, who sends them to evaluate a property in order to tell if it’s good for Acquisitions Inc. to hold onto. They all introduce themselves to each other. Gil likes talking, Bobe hasn’t done things above board in a while so decided to try it out, Niles specializes in forging documents and sneaking, Veeto is 215 years old with an ancient lineage from a city around here who is also a wizard that is very good at getting out of trouble, Faeth is a paladin who is good at hitting things and healing things. Gil says he has been working at the head office and can answer any questions about it. The party goes down to the company store and finds it’s full of a bunch of branded merchandise that is very upcharged. Gil searches for a shirt but finds a hot pink one that is too expensive, so puts it back. A young girl worker named Cindy Lou approaches Gil and tries to talk/guilt trip him into buying the shirt. Niles tells her the shirt is ugly which makes Cindy cry but she says she’ll give a little bit off of the shirt then hands Gil some fabric of the same type of shirt from her pocket which Gil pockets. Cindy buys the shirt itself. Faeth looks for how much health potions cost in the company store and finds they are 1 gold piece each but politely declines because she doesn’t like that they look so good. Niles sneaks one of the health potions into Faeth’s pocket without her knowing. A security guard stops Niles and Faeth revealing the store has cameras and Niles plays it off like he was supposed to be testing the store security then quickly leaves the store. Gil and Veeto go to check out transportation. Faeth, Bobe, and Niles go looking for non-flashy health potions. The potions are at least 50 gold pieces, so there are no sales. The alchemist points Bobe to a mage’s guild in the darker side of town. At the stable, Gil asks for the transport. While the stable master is in the back, Gil tries to slap the ass of a fancy horse but he trips on horse shit. The stable master shows Gil and Veeto some nice horses and goats and a wagon with horses, with Veeto and Gil choosing the wagon. Faeth and Bobe go to the scroll shop and wakes up the shopkeeper who is partially deaf but Bobe writes a message down asking for the silence scroll. He very slowly goes to the back then comes back with the scroll but doesn’t know the price and goes to the back again with a price of 5000 gold and a price sheet. The party meets up and Bobe casts an illusion to have Gil’s shoes appear clean but still smell. Gil heads to a fountain to clean his shoes. The rest of the party heads back to the stables and sees Tea, who introduces himself to the others. The party realizes Niles is gone and also that the party has a Gil and a Tea. The party returns to the wagon and realizes that it has a really nice cover over top of it, a couple of picnic baskets with nice wine, provisions for the party, and provisions for the horses. The stable master says the price is 150 gold because Gil asked for the premium package, which causes Gil to deflate and sheepishly walk off. Gil returns and tries to sweet talk the stable master while Veeto tries to intimidate him. Gil remembers that the stable master, Greg, had a problem with his contract in the past and tries to insinuate the stable master messed up with their current contract. The stable master brings the contract and says he was correct. Gil tries to barter with Bobe to get her to use shadow magic to change the contract. Tea tries to barter with Greg and Greg says he wants a date with Cindy Lou, which Tea promises. Tea hands the fabric from Gil to Greg then asks Greg to go check the order again. Greg checks the order and finds another one that says the premium package is included. Gil insults Bobe by calling her a turtle then insincerely apologizes, but Bobe sees through him and laughs at him. The party leaves the town and begins traveling, staying at the occasional inn, and eventually make it to Westbridge. After getting some refreshments at Harvest Inn and Niles saying he wants to treat Tea like a house cat, the party learns the place they are looking for is referred to as “granny’s” and is out of town in the woods. Niles says the thieves guild knew about a card game, which is believed to be how Acquisitions Inc. acquired the property. The part learns Granny’s was used as an apple pie business and there is no official government or anyone who knows the current state of the property. Tea stays behind to ask the herbalist, Dorlara, for information on a tea the innkeeper gave him while the rest of the party starts going to Granny’s. Tea gets a quart of catnip tea and asks the herbalist about granny, with the herbalist referring him to Sandy who is a general store(The Broken Wheel’s) owner. Gil offends Sally, who physically moves him out of the way then closes the shop.

Session 2

The party travels a lot on the way to Silverymoon. Eventually, a storm forces them into a mysterious inn where they find basically all of the people they’ve met before. Everyone gradually succumbs to magic that compels them to party, drink, and dance with everyone(including some who are enemies of the party) while Gil sleeps. Everyone eventually goes to sleep and wakes up to find pretty much everyone gone, with Gil having a bit of a sickness. The party goes upstairs and gets Gil an herb that will help him then turn their attention to a mysterious door on the lower level. Puyaz takes some alcohol, puts it on the door, then lights it with a candle which causes some of the party members to ignite, then the whole party wakes up in a camp. Out of session, Gil sheepishly admits to taking a potion that was supposed to buff him up, but insists it wasn’t the cause of the dream state. Puyaz holds him over the last spot the party’s animals defecated and tells him to talk.

Gil says he got the potion from a traveling gypsy. Gil got 2 potions, so Puyaz confiscates the other one and gives it to Faeth and Bobe who then hand it to Tea for inspection. Tea finds it’s a sauce for food. The party questions Gil on his mind tavern. Tea goes hunting and gets lost in the woods. Gil, Puyaz, and Veeto go into the woods to search for Tea, with Puyaz holding a rope tied to Gil’s waist like a dog. The party finds Tea’s tracks and follow them to finds Tea near a wagon but closer investigation reveals it to be illusion magic. The party keeps following the footprints until they find the footprints leading into a tree. Puyaz climbs over it then puts rope over the side Gil is on and ties one end to him and braces himself against the tree. Puyaz pulls Gil over but Gil loses his footing and falls on top of Puyaz. The party keeps following the trail and finds a place Tea slid down. Puyaz unties himself and attempts to push Gil down but accidentally falls down himself where he falls on Tea. Gil ties the rope to a tree then throws it down to Puyaz and Tea, which Puyaz and Tea climb up and return to camp. The party then finally reaches SilveryMoon. Gil tells everyone to meet that night at the Dancing Goat Tavern and Golden Oak Inn. Faeth goes to the tower of balance, tea sneaks off, Puyaz goes to the carpenter’s district to find someone to build an assassin’s tea cup contraption that will dispense poison or health depending on his arm position, Gil goes looking through public records and finds a conviction notice for Tea being caught for stealing with 3 others and finds a woman with Tea’s last name who died(presumably Tea’s mother), and Veeto hears a rumor of Tea being a traitor. Gil finds Tea talking with his mother and leaving her an offering at her grave. Gil tells Tea he may want to hold a vote to restructure the company. Puyaz ends up at Bradhan’s forge, where he finds dwarves arguing. The dwarves take a look at the blueprint and say they will make it for 15 gold to start with. Puyaz heads to the Dancing Goat and finds some gold but then gets hit by an electric zap which throws him into the wall across the way and robed figures with a Harper’s insignia cuff and bring him along. Puyaz gets thrown in a jail cell and tells the other inmates that he’s in for tax evasion, to their horror saying that he will be sent to the mines if he can’t pay. Naylon goes into the Dancing Goat and offers free rounds for everyone. A Tabaxi named Scamps comes into the Dancing Goat and talks to tea, telling Tea the king knows Tea is in town and believes Tea snitched on him.
