Tonight we find our party meeting the new kids on the block, a plucky group of merchants who have the gold and the ambition to try to overthrow the Trusted Axe Cartel. They also stole from the dwarves, swapped out their high quality wares for their own inferior quality goods and orchestrated the closure of the contract between the dwarves and the Five Spokes.
So grab a coffee, take a seat as we get to the bottom of this broken transaction in tonight’s adventure!

The party had found the dwarven wares quite easily really. The men selling the dwarven shields, axes, chain and other goods were looking for members of the cartel to appear. So when the party appeared and asked about it while flashing some coin the young merchant asked if they’d be interested in getting a lot more of it.
‘So you’re adventurers looking to get into the trading business. Well I have a supplier who has a whole wagon load of this stuff. Real quality Dwarven steel.’ the man said with a knowing grin. ‘Tell ya what. Meet me back here when the sun sets and I’ll show ya so you can make the call yourselves.’
The party came back as the sun was setting and found the man packing up. This time he had a bunch of lower quality wares on display but recognised the party and waved them over. ‘Some other merchants got a bit jealous so we had to hide the good stuff.’ he said as he packed up the last of his wares onto a cart and beckoned the party to follow. There was a few other merchants heading back and packing up this time of night but as they packed up others moved in and started to set up their own wares and tables.
Following the man back he explained a bit more. They were a newer smaller group that had seen an opportunity to get some high quality wares from out dated fools while also opening up opportunities. As they arrived at the large double doors of a large warehouse the man knocked a short pattern before the party heard bolts, beams and even a lock be removed.
As the doors opened the party were greeted by a group of a dozen well equipped men and women with what sounded like many more elsewhere in the warehouse. One man stopped and looked at them before calling out. ‘Wait. They were at the Silver Ring Tavern the other night when the Cartel came snooping about. Why’d you bring them here you idiot!’ It was a matter of moments, a few blinks of the mans eyes before he realised what had been said.
Thanks for dropping by for another night at my tabletop. Don’t forget as we passed the midway point we have maps and monsters, well creature stat blocks left for this week. So make sure you don’t forget to come back the last few remaining days this week to stay up to date with what’s happening at my tabletop. And lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
