    Waterdeep | The Yawning Portal:


    Waterdeep -- also known as the Crown of the North ... to some of you it is home, and for others an intended pit stop. Or at least it was, since friends and drinking partners have been gained in the meantime. Perhaps not true allies, you might not be willing to take a blade for them, but gods be damned you're quite willing to drink if they're offering to pay.

    This evening finds you all within the famous Yawning Portal, perhaps deciding to splurge a little for the evening, and the very least to get away from the cold and damp of the spring. Misty rain blocks sight through the streets, but in here -- the warmth blocks it out, trading fog for smoke from the various lanterns spread through the massive tavern.

    You sit around a sturdy wooden table lit by a brightly burning candle and littered with plates cleared of food and half-drained tankards. The sounds of gamblers yelling and drunken adventurers singing bawdy songs nearly drown out the off-key strumming of a young bard three tables over.

    Then all the noise is eclipsed by a shout: "Ya pig! Like killin' me mates, does ya?"

    Heads turn to catch sight of a seven-foot-tall half-orc hit by a wild, swinging punch from a male human whose shaved head is covered with eye-shaped tattoos. Four other humans stand behind him, ready to jump into the fray. The half-orc cracks her knuckles, roars, and leaps at the tattooed figure-but before you can see if blood is drawn, a crowd of spectators clusters around the brawl. What do you do?

    The Yawning Portal:

    Enjoying the night sleeping in comfortable beds, perhaps the first time in a long time for some of you, eventually the morning arrives with the chatter of the main room and the pleasant scent of food wafting towards each of you.

    However as a few of you wake this morning, something awaits you ...

    Werner, within his bed, hears an unfamiliar voice call to him in his mind: "I am Vajra Safahr, the Blackstaff. Come to Blackstaff Tower in the Castle Ward at once. Bring your friends."

    Meanwhile down the hall, both Garret and Fosco find on their pillow a small paper bird with a message written: "Renaer tells us you are a good bet. He bought you tickets to the opera tonight at the Lightsinger Theater in the Sea Ward. If you are interested, meet Mirt at intermission. Private Box C. Formal attire is required for admittance."

    Goldy finds herself greeted by a small white cat that surprisingly speaks to her in a melodious male voice: "Interested in joining the Emerald Enclave? Come meet us at Phaulkonmere in the Southern Ward." Finishing its message the cat suddenly darts away out of the window.

    Finally, Hokk and Wrecker both find a simple note under their door that reads: "Your strength has been noted, and is sought after. Ask for Savra Belabronta downstairs."
