The Townsend Agency received an invitation from House Medani, one of the renowned Dragonmarked mercantile houses, known for their prowess in investigation and inquisition. They were summoned to meet at the Dragon Towers on Mol at 5pm. Bosley and Audrey Rose, recognizing the significance of the House, led the group to the meeting.
Upon their arrival at the grand House Medani enclave, they were escorted by sentries to Baron Trelib d'Medani's office, which was marked by a striking silver basilisk statue, the emblem of House Medani. The Baron, an imposing figure with jet-black hair and a distinctive mustache, acknowledged Audrey Rose, Bosley, and Sabrina by name, commending their burgeoning reputation.
Baron d'Medani presented them with a challenge: to unravel the mysteries surrounding Shiver, a substance causing turmoil in the city. Success would mean a prestigious alliance with House Medani or earning their coveted seal of approval. Their first lead was to consult with Magistrate Statin Drune, located in the ominous Blackstone Church within the Shard slum of the Fallen Ward.
Descending into the lower wards of Sharn, the adventurers encountered a scene of chaos near the church. A monstrous entity, encased in mist and resembling a mummified corpse, wreaked havoc, impervious to their initial attacks. Only through their combined efforts, particularly Audrey Rose's incendiary tactics, were they able to subdue the beast, revealing nothing but ash and desolation upon its defeat.
Subsequent interactions with the city watch and the clergy at a dilapidated temple shed light on a grave situation: a plague-like affliction linked to Shiver, with suspicions pointing toward the nefarious Brotherhood of the Spider as the culprits behind the contamination.
The group's investigation led them to uncover unsettling evidence: the mummified creature was once Frell Tann, linked to a prominent city council member. They learned of the disturbing effects of Shiver, the increasing death toll in the Fallen Ward, and signs of a sinister plot involving the Brotherhood of the Spider.
Concluding their session, the adventurers were tasked with a critical mission: to trace the source of the tainted Shiver, unravel the connection to the Brotherhood of the Spider, and dismantle their sinister operations, promising them a hefty reward for their efforts.
Thus, the group, armed with leads and a determination to uncover the truth, prepared to delve deeper into the shadowy underbelly of Sharn, setting the stage for their next daring adventure.
