Shattered Sigil Session 3: The Alliance Ball and a Body in the Storeroom

After a hiatus, the party begins session three of Shattered Sigil under cover at a high-security Lord’s Alliance ball in Waterdeep, where the Amnian delegation is being welcomed amid rising fear of the Black Accord cult and intel of an assassination attempt against a high-ranking Alliance figure. Malix poses as a harpist with the Amnian band while scanning guests, Harold enters as the eccentric Lord Thistledown Von Berwick III, Pheon shadows Magister Dawn Script, and Johnny Five arrives as a masked Thayan “observer,” focusing on likely targets and methods. As guests gather for speeches and security tightens, Percy mentions a suspicious disturbance and missing paperwork tied to storeroom #2; Malix and Johnny Five investigate, break in, and discover a hastily sealed barrel containing a pale, lifeless young male body.
