The Birthright campaign (1264 R.S.T.)
(4/22/07) After picking up Esterhaus and Sarah from St. John’s the trip to Londres was quiet and uneventful.
As the smith refuges approached the southern gate into town, they joined the end of a line of applicants to enter the city.
When they were 5 people back in line, a commotion started. A Miran national drank a potion, ran towards the gate and started
chanting “Allah al akbar” He was shot down and peppered with crossbow bolts before he could reach the
gate and then the potion in his gut exploded in a small fireball. About a half an hour later, when the dust had settled and
the line started moving again, the Smith family finally entered town and made their way to the retirement home that Charles
owns (B17).
On the way home from the market place, Misery had an alleyway altercation with some thieves. She soundly thrashed 2
of the 3 and the third one fled with his life. All of this was witnessed by George Espadé, who offered them some work as investigators
for his Truth Seeker business (B12½). George was hired to find Jim Parrish, and he subcontracts that job out to the Smith
clan. The Smiths go to Jim Parrish’s home and interview the wife, and butler, they find out that Jim liked to spend
his time at “The All the Way Inn” After interviewing several customers and a barman named Spike, they
piece together an idea that Jim left the bar with a red haired green eyed beauty and was never seen again. In the middle of
the investigation, George mysteriously calls it off, and tells the Smiths and Mrs. Parrish that the job is over, there is
no need to look for Jim any more.
This confuses our heroes and they decide to follow George, who leads them around the corner to B9. They break into the
house and get into a fight with Trixie, a ½Nixie who has been charming men in town for weeks and stealing their money. The
Smiths soundly thrash Nixie, killing her in the process and releasing all the men from her spell. Thus ends successfully the
first adventure of the Smith clan seeking their birthright.
