The Cocktail Party

After the successful protraction of the murderplay The Six Trials of Larazod for an audience that included the Lord High Mayor, the Adventuring Party was invited to an all-evening cocktail party and feast at the Lord High Mayor's mansion, the Villa Arvanxi. The party had planned, with intelligence gathered by Ailyn Ghontasavos, to attend the party and then search the villa for the Asmodean Knot in an effort to retrieve the Chelish Crux containing inormation pertaining to the wards at Delvehave, the Pathfinder Lodge in Westcrown.

Besides the Adventuring Party, there were approximately 40 people in attendance at the party, including several notables:

Fellow Six Trials cast members Delour Aulamaxa, Calsenica Nymmis and director Nobahl Ronon.

Cast member Thesing Ulvaud, with companion Theocritus Avato

The Lord High Mayor Aberian Arvanxi and his majordomo Crosael Rasdovain

General Vourne, Lord Admiral of the Westcrown naval forces

Eirtein Oberigo, a wealthy noble and most prodigious slaver in Westcrown

Chammady Drovenge, a lovely and erudite noble from an ancient Chelish family

Sascar Tilernos, a noble and noted oenophile

Aerlinger Estrovain, a wealthy noble of rather coarse demeanor

Vestus Savaska, cleric of Asmodeus and special effects maven
