SKT Session 14 (4/4/23): Another Castle in the Sky

The party looked to the sky and sees a castle similar to one they've seen before. However, upon close inspection, they were able to discern that this castle was not Lyn Armaal. The townsfolk around them were in a panic, with guards trying to calm as many people down as possible. "Please remain calm! The Lady is dispensing soldiers as we speak to inspect the floating castle!" While unsure of how to help at first, the party decided that they could bring their giant knowledge to the Open Lord of Waterdeep, Lady Silverhand, and, in exchange, get some information from her about the magical augmentation operations in Waterdeep.

Kimberly agreed, telling the voice they trust it and will do as it says. Coming out of the conversation, a lightning bolt erupted from Kimberly's fingertips, killing the aboleth.

In Neverwinter, the party went shopping, purchased some things from M, who had a pop-up stand in town, and almost went to the beach. Eventually, they all made their way, directed by Dhrys, to a run-down looking townhouse. Inside this townho...
