Deep dives
Entering Le Lantern
As the group enters Le Lantern, they adopt an extravagant and carefree persona, pretending to be rich Eladrin from the Feywild. They buy an expensive bottle of champagne and act as if they belong in the exclusive upstairs balcony
Trying to Dispel the Security Orb
Callie discreetly tries to cast dispel magic on the security orb near the stairs leading to the upstairs balcony, temporarily disabling it without being detected by the automaton bouncer. The group then proceeds to approach the stairs
Interacting with Mortis Bronzebeard
The group notices Mortis Bronzebeard, one of the bronzebeard family members, on the upstairs balcony. They discreetly listen to his conversations and try to gather information while pretending to be immersed in their own lavish party
Attempting to Bypass Security
Having blended in with the crowd and successfully disabled the security orb, the group tries to pass the automaton bouncer and gain access to the upstairs balcony. Their extravagant behavior and spending catch the bouncer's attention, and they are allowed to proceed upstairs
A desperate encounter in the exclusive area
The group tries to access the exclusive area of the club but is turned away. They decide to cast Detect Thoughts to eavesdrop on the thoughts of the people inside. They overhear the insecurity and desperation of the hangers-on trying to impress Mortis Bronzebeard. They also hear an unknown voice call out one of the group members as a sucker. Swag Daniels is called up by Mortis and they meet a middle-aged bullywug who bears a striking resemblance to Swag.
Meeting and convincing Swag Daniels
The group confronts Swag about being used by Mortis Bronzebeard and the bronze beards themselves. They explain that they are defectors from Mothership and that the bronze beards are after mind control technology. They manage to plant doubts in Swag's mind and convince him to reconsider his loyalties. Swag takes some time to think about their words before parting ways.
A dramatic escape and a plan for tomorrow
The group causes a cable car to crash and kills the people inside to prevent them from getting information about their secret mission. They track Swag as he heads back to the plates and discuss plans for tomorrow's mission, determined to follow and stop him from using mind control technology on the serpent. They acknowledge that Swag is torn between trusting them and staying loyal to the bronze beards.
