We go to the salon to get fancied up. It is very weird. Vandederp gets polished up. Vondal gets braids done. Vorest gets her hair done to look wild, like her hair is branches. I get my horns buffed and a simple elegant updo.
A carriage comes for us and we head to the nice part of town. The houses are HUGE. Captain Darren meets us outside. He brings us inside and he is announced. Captain Darren whispers to the page, and then we are announced, as the heroes of Kelethoen.
We are greeted by a lanky fellow who seems happy, and surprised, to see Captain Darren. His name is Thadeus Stormshield. His eyes catch my attention, they are lilac coloured. Captain seems quite at ease with him. We go around and meet many other people - Lady Gwendoline and her son Renwick Starsong, Pikesworn, Jebeto Often, who is a gnome, Barion Elfdonus, who is a high elf, Judge Donald Olearson, Lady Millicent Greytower, Magus Aleria, another high elf, Abbot Warren Traderson, who worships Waukeen. There are many, many more - and I don't remember them. I am not one to remember so many people in such a short amount of time!
We eat and chit chat with those who will. Captain Darren leaves and asks us to behave - I believe we are doing well! Thadeus comes back with Hondal - who acts like he does not know us. He mentions that he's opened a soup kitchen and we, innocently, of course!, ask if we could help. It is located on Summerslee Way. After a while Hondal re-approaches without witness, and points out that we haven't done anything to hurt his operations in Kelethoen, and saunters away again.
Captain Darren comes back and asks how our evening is going and is surprised to hear that Hondal is *the* Hondal. He asks that we have evidence before we make a move, as he is favoured by many in the upper classes of Kelethoen.
The night gets later, and eventually we head back to the inn.
