Thanks for playing “A Most Curious Find” - Mr. Bravik @Taneli_Sol, Ash @Vishous, Ardurion @Arthilas, Sony @jboimler, Uli’an @MarkusW !
You recovered Lin after a plea from his father, Lou, and gain his and perhaps more importantly, the society’s favor in doing so. The Society, with Lou at the helm, is set on sending expeditions into The Underdark through the ancient dwarven backdoor you discovered and diverts a good amount of manpower to Aglardon. The remainders of the Svirfneblin clan move to the abandoned mine near the village of Halendos, and the society find many of their kin that are willing to “help them rebuild”, but they might still get the odd willing visit from an rock gnome or two through the next months and years. They also especially bond with the local dwarven drunkard, Yefri, who they work with closely in establishing a mushroom-farming operation with their combined knowledge of fungiculture, establishing a very steady revenue stream that helps them build a new home away from the cruelty of their drow neighbours.
You may each keep one of the following magic items of your choice found on your adventure: Figurine of Wondrous Power (Onyx Dog), Ioun Stone of Sustenance, Mantle of Spell Resistance or Elven Chain.
Even before you manage to return to Waterdeep, couriers intercept you with your payment of 480gp, and you may keep any items you found on the adventure as well. In the same pouch, you find an additional, different-looking coin, granting you 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.
@Arthilas Ardurion the Durable instead gains:
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.
