LRC:The Rescue of Delicious Harpell

Attendance: Joe, Ryan, and Daryl
Guest DM: Daryl

Tears for Dinner

Invited there by Meridian Owen to discuss the upcoming play, everyone goes to the Pig and Whistle tavern for dinner. When Dookette gets up to use the facilities, she hears sobbing in the curtained section of the tavern. She pokes her head in to see Alicia sitting in front of a crystal ball with Queen Rebecca Harpell, the latter crying her eyes out. The Queen turns to Dookette and tells her that her cousin Delicious Harpell, who married into the Harpell family, has been kidnapped. Alicia asks Dookette to gather the others and everyone is crammed around the private table.

The Queen offers the party a reward to go after Delicious. Alicia tells the party to go to Sea Town and ask for Captain Jack and that he'll take them there. After asking why Talen won't help in this matter, it is revealed that he does not at all get a long with Delicious, thinks she's a bad influence on the Queen, and feels that it would be a waste to send the LRC navy on a rescue mission to the Pirate Isles.

Once the Queen has hired the party, she brightens up and shows off her new magic dress from Ovenate. It changes color based on the wearers request.

Maiden voyage of the Swiftfeather

The party goes to Sea Town and finds that a [insert ship description] sitting in the harbor, as a well as the conscripted ships that make up the newly formed LRC Navy. Captain Jack tells the party that the nation of Sembia generously granted him a new ship to make up for the one that was attacked and sunk. Captain Jack is met at the docks by a group of Meadmaker craftsmen, who are delivering twin oddly shaped, overly large tubes. Once loaded on the ship, the dwarves drop a large metal ball inside with some powder and BAM!! the balls are hurled into the air, impressing everyone on the dock.

After a long discussion the party convinces Captain Jack to take them to the Pirate Isles to find Delicious. He wants a good story for the maiden voyage, even if he has to make it up himself!

Pirate Isles

The way to the Pirate Isles was completely clear of pirates, much to Captain Jack's chagrin. Jack agrees to wait for the PCs and lets them row to shore. Once on the island the party begins searching for signs of a trial. After a couple of days, the party discovers that the island is infested with hags of different varieties. Wolfdale is hit with an evil eye and spends a few days confused. Delicious is set free, but only after she makes the party watch/help her cook a thirty-minute meal.

Delicious complains that even when she was forced to cook dinner for the hags, she had to taste the broth to make sure it was just right. "And, unfortunately, I have to say, my Halfling Stew is tasty."

Cavern Pantry

Inside a cave not far from Delicious is where the rest of the survivors from her boat are being held captive. Fortunately the guards are asleep, so Dookette casts silence and their throats are slit and everyone is set free.
