👿 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.
