With dusk settling onto Waterdeep and the city’s storefronts closing shop, the group decided to head back towards Blackstaff Tower and then to Lord Amcathra’s manor, expecting it to be a relatively safe place to rest for the night.
However, as they left the tower’s neighborhood, that sensation of being watch returned, and the party caught a quick glimpse of a winged humanoid form following them in the low clouds. An impromptu plan was hatched: Varis and Tin would take to the alleys and rooftops, covering the band from the shadows, and Feral, Klemnon, and Drengy would conspicuously head forward trying to draw out their pursuers.
