👿 The Encounter with the Guard

In our last session, our brave party found themselves facing an irate guard near Waterdeep.

As the tension mounted, the party realized they needed to handle the situation delicately. Their charismatic member, Saxaron, stepped forward to engage in a conversation with the guard.

Saxaron spun a tale of the party's noble Quest to eliminate a nefarious necromancer who had been terrorizing the locals. They emphasized the importance of their mission and how it had saved innocent lives. The guard seemed skeptical, but Saxaron's silver tongue managed to convince him of their good intentions.

With the guard finally appeased, the party breathed a collective sigh of relief. They continued their journey towards Waterdeep, their steps lightened by the absence of immediate danger. As they drew closer to the city, the familiar sights and sounds of urban life welcomed them back.

Waterdeep, with its bustling streets and towering structures, stood as a beacon of civilization in the otherwise untamed world. The city offered a multitude of opportunities for respite and pursuit of their individual goals. But first, they needed to find a place to rest and recuperate from their recent trials.
