Chronicals of Xoth Recap of Chapter 1 Whisper of Midnight

 The live stream session can be listened to in its utter mundane entirety on the Vanishing Tower Youtube channel. 

Here is the nice recap of the game session from one of the players, now on his second PC of the campaign.

1. Notes for Whisper of Midnight. We are currently in Khadar in the land of Susrah, a decadent city full of conniving Priests and powerful Merchants, like many in Susrah, they follow the god Baal-Khardah mainly, but other dark gods as well. We are with Lion Diamond and his guard/companion, Laker the Axe, trying to sell the almost mythical sword Bloodstone that they took from Ironthorn's body. Back at the ruins of the Tower of Eternity. We take rooms at the Bargain Pleasure Inn, and Lion seeks out Garlord, a well-connected merchant involved with glass blowing who is based in the Red Bull market. After a tense moment or two, Garlord agrees to make inquiries about potential buyers. We have to deduct some money for the rooms, which came out to 45 bronze? We then head to the dishevelled mansion of the Lady Donna Rosa, an old friend of Lions. The place is falling apart, but she greets us warmly, if with the slight disdain of a noble. It seems that Dimond plans to hide the sword here until it is time to sell it, as the sword is already making waves in the city. The sword is hidden in the fireplace in the Garderobe by the main audience chamberLady Donna Rosa has an idiot son. The Blood Stone scimitar is a legendary weapon tied to both Religion and Kingship. It is a powerful symbol of power and legitimacy for both.
2. Joran is the head of the Glassblowers Guild, so the boss of Garlord We end up drinking at another Inn and Genn ends up fighting a Priest after we mention the Bloodstone scimitar. Genn deals with the priest fairly, but it's time for the party to end and for us to leave before he brings his guards/mercenaries to teach us the error of our ways. As he seems to be one to hold a grudge. Getting back to our quarters, we find out that the deal seems to be on, but it has to be overseen by the Thieves Guild, and they want their cut but promise protection. Genn hides 25 silver behind a rock near the Print and Engraving shop and gets 15 high-quality bullets for his sling. The leader of the Thieves Guild is unknown, but rumour has it that it might be the Viscount himself. The main Guilds are the Glass Blowers, the tanners and the Charcoal burners. The deal is discussed, and we need to bring the sword to the Hall of Midnight where the Thieves will host the auction, but they want to check the sword first to make sure it's not a fake. There are also rumours of an ageless Sorcerer called Peopolis who was the mentor to the fell Sorcerer who currently inhabits the Tower of Eternity. It seems he had the sword once, explaining how Ironthorn got it.
3. The Thieves guild will receive the payment and then we will receive the diamonds from the thieves guild, but it will be there, but it won't be in front of anyone. No one will know who we are. So as part of the service
4. So, currently, we are in one of the upper rooms at the Bargain Pleasure discussing how much we should trust the Thieves guild, how to get the sword to them safely and trying to guess the potential buyers and how dangerous they will be to us after the sale.
