As glory's just beginning our adventure never ends,

The saga of the heroes that they call the dragon friends.

The rain is heavy and carries the sting of salt in it as you make your way out of the ship line.

You are escorting Janosmere, the beggar king of Waterdeep, away from the docks and to the safety of his ship line. You are escorting Janos Mier, the Bega King of Waterdeep,

away from the docks and to the safety of his sewer home.

Janus paid you to ensure his safety tonight,

and the black-barbed crossbow bolt lodged below his shoulder

is proof that you could have done a better job of it.

But the fact that he is alive at all means something,

and bizarrely the Begher King

seems to be in a good mood. Oh this is great. Just like old times you're there, you're there,

got a narrow in my shoulder. I think I'm dying. The ambush tonight means that the grim

animosity between Janus's organisation and the Shipwrights Guild has finally tipped over into outright war.

That the shipwrights would be this bold means that they must have found powerful and wealthy new friends.

And copper pieces to platinum say that those new friends would be found in Waterdeep's newest guild, the house of the artificers.

You guys remember that house?

Robots.

Yeah, I mean, that just doesn't, I hate that word. I think we had this conversation last time.

Robots? That's it, robots. Robits.

Is that Janos?

Robots? Robots?

It's all going hazy.
