Stay ConnectedStabbyQuest is a story-focused, actual-play tabletop roleplaying game podcast.
A ram’s head necklace. A spool of thread. A long-dead legend. How are they connected, and what does their arrival mean for Sandpoint, nay, for Golarion? Find out, in StabbyQuest!
We pick back up this week with the SQ Crew and Sheriff Belor Hemlock in the back room of the Hog's Head Tavern. Belor had been instructed by the Sandpoint Mayor to revoke his deputies' status and collect their pins, due to the complaints the Mercantile League has been getting from the Merchant Ship the crew has been... investigating. Or, y'know, plundering.
After Belor leaves, the crew gets a stiff drink and a plan together before heading over to the Curious Goblin to check in with their cantankerous buddy, Brodert. Brodert drops so much knowledge on them that they're a bit overwhelmed, and the cherry on top of this sundae is... something they all missed! This episode of StabbyQuest is brought to you by Tabletop Gaming Rule #2: Take notes!
Welp, it seems like the gang is about to face the music. They correctly deduced that the cryptic message they received in the lobby of the Rusty Dragon was instructing them to go to the back room at the Hog's Head, where Belor Hemlock was awaiting their arrival.
While the group tries to explain their actions (and unwittingly incriminate themselves), they *do* get a few answers to some outstanding questions, but they also get a warning. One thing's for certain - there's a change in the wind.
As we return to this episode, the gang continues breaking into rooms in the Rusty Dragon looking for evidence of the two mustachioed men they followed through the back alleys. After a lot of searching and a couple close calls, they decide to leave, and on the way out are met with a cryptic request...
The gang followed those mustachioed men back to the Rusty Dragon, of all places. Unsure how to glean the information they were looking for from the clerk, they opted to spend the night instead, taking the only available room. Once they sort out sleeping arrangements and get some rest, they wake to continue the recon.
The gang has just learned the two "mustachioed" men dining in the Hog's Head who were eyeing them *bolted* after the guys got "drunk" Sarowyn out of the bar. They give chase, and end up in a very familiar place...
We return with our players discussing how to go about tying up some of their abundant leads, including checking in with Brodert Quink and Belor Hemlock.
*In game* our heroes are drinking in the Hogs Head Tavern, Sarowyn has just approached two individuals who were eyeing the group from the other side of the bar. She pretended to be intoxicated in order to glean some information from them, and... it actually kinda worked. But make no mistake: Sarowyn's is a face they won't soon forget.
Safely back in the Hog's Head Tavern, the gang eats dinner and continues discussing their factually awful "stealth" foray back onto the ship.
Upon looking at the manifest, they see the ship is actually from Magnimar, far to the southwest. As they try to piece this puzzle together, a couple of them spot some... prying.. eyes.. from across the room.
Will they figure out who's watching them? Have they drawn the ire of the ship's owner yet? And what does the militia actually do here, anyway?
In the last episode, the gang made it back to the Pixie's Kitten in the nick of time. We rejoin them in the closet as they plan their course across town back to the Hog's Head. Will they escape unscathed? Will they be caught by the dockworkers or harassed by the militia?
When we last left our heroes, they were mid-escape from the big ship in the harbor and Kallis had just attempted to convince the Ship's guard captain and another on duty he had some important information.
They believed him, but Kallis' wrestling attempt went south quickly and he was headed ass-over-teakettle off of the dock, still holding onto the guards.
Will Kallis take a dip in the drink? Will Sarowyn, Pubby, and Taat outmaneuver their assailants? Find out... in StabbyQuest!
Welp, the proverbial shite has hit the fan. The gang's attempt to get on the ship - again - only went well enough for them to see the ship was filled floor to ceiling with crates.
We come back to Pubby, Sarowyn, and Taat - still in disguise, but trying remain unnoticed while they attempt to escape the dock. Kallis and Charlie watch from afar just in case this goes in the routine fashion.
Will they make it back to the Pixie's Kitten in time to trade in the uniforms? Will the ship guards and the dockworkers recognize the three Elven types? Did any of them consider this before they hatched this cockamamie plan?
