# 44_20210116 Scuffle at Blacklake ## Session Summary Fleeing from the crossbow bolts that hit her, Ka'ira and the rest of the Order went to the Driftwood Tavern, where we had a talk with Madame Rosene. She told us that the original familes of Neverwintan nobles were willing to come back to Neverwinter if they were allowed to form guilds. She also told us that the mercenaries have new weapons that can shoot magical bolts, and a caravan that arrives regularly from the south brings them from an artificer that they found. Madame Rosene suggested we find a steward who could take care of Neverwinter's interests if we're not interested in staying and ruling. We asked her to see what she could find out about Sabine's habits. She also gave us a letter that Hill had written - a goodbye, and an explanation. He went to Luskan to save his brother, now that he has enough money to do so. ^summary ## Recap ![[43_20210110 Reuniting the Ettercaps#^summary]] ## Log - On our way to the [[Driftwood Tavern]], a single black arrow (silver-tipped) hits Ka'ira hard.
