Arnulf, Hundertwasser & Gustoue (@Atanen +2) & Xala (@Takanari) – thanks for playing “The Society’s Folly”! Hope you all had as much fun as I did, and looking forward to seeing the new faces at future VALUE sessions.

The 3 of you return to Gralan with an update of the situation. Even though you didn’t stop Istrid from escaping with the stolen artifacts, you did find out exactly who was after them, for what purpose, and how they managed to find them. All of this information helps Gralan with the next steps as he organizes more experienced agents to patch up things with the authorities and help reduce the risk to the open lord. With such an artifact gone, however, you sense that there will be a search ogranized for it in the near future, even if it takes Society’s agents to the headquarters of the newly-found rival organization instead of the other way around.You are offered a continuation of your (more regular) training with the society, should you choose to accept.
For any future “Society” session of mine that these characters appear in, @Atenen, the 3 of you receive the following story award:
Initiate of The Society: You can prove your rank within the organization with a coin given by The Society at the end of the adventure. It’s a tiny platinum coin with a motif containing an eye inside a pyramid. This allows you to ask for services & help from The Society as well as enter their hidden base of operations deep beneath Waterdeep.

The interrogations to which you were subject reveal part of the happenings of the day’s events to the authorities. Waterdeep’s city watch becomes aware of the threat to the first lord and whom it comes from. They become aware that these would-be assassins are in posession of the talisman & book, and even some of the accomplices, such as the owner of the potions shop & the pair at the Yawning Portal are named. However, before you can divulge the full truth of The Society and its whereabouts, you are joined by “professional witnesses” which speak in your favor in front of the Magisters, and there is a swift conclusion that there is no further evidence for any of your guilt and the forced questioning comes to an end. You return to Gralan, who welcomes you back with the outmost thanks & apologies that you were put in this situation.
Considering Xala was already an initiate of the Society, you gain the following story award:
Apprentice of The Society: It’s a slightly larger coin with the same design, but upon closer inspection looks much less worn than the coin you still keep from before. As a full-fledged member of the society, you can proactively call for The Society’s favors, assistance or information. Your current rank can in theory give orders to initiates, albeit with few or no repercussions for them being disobeyed.
All 4 of you receive +10 downtime days, the promised payment of 400GP each, and each of you can pick any one of the following magical items found during the session:
