Dancing Moon Theatre

Celovar the elf was seen arguing the point of Zhentarim being allowed into the Theatre with Tonan and Cadence. Shortly after some heated words he left.

Some of the citizens report that once heading out Celovar drew weapons and chased after Lily Dragonfire. He killed her and her husband. Shortly after he was stabbed in the back by one of the staff. He then turned around to fight the man, untimely ending in the mans death. He then fled via the caravan.

After hearing the reports, a grim faced Cadence orders that Celovar be escorted off Dancing Moon property on sight, and if he resists, then to use any means necessary to protect themselves and the patrons.

The guard who was murdered was sent to the local temple where the priest would attempt to call his soul back, if it would respond.

The Keeper of Myth Drannor send a sealed message to the theather staff

I was alerted your house apparently favors the zhentarim. If you want clarify this, come to Myth Drannor and adress me. You can always refuse this invite, but by doing this will be clear you favors a side in the righteous war to make Cormanthor the place of good it shall be.
Cordially,

Keeper Nadin of Myth Drannor

A reply would return with the same messenger, eloquent and brief.

My Dear Keeper,

I can assure you that that simply is not the case, and we would be delighted to come clear up this dreadful misunderstanding at the earliest opportunity. You are, of course, more than welcome to come visit us in person to discuss this and will enjoy the same freedom from harassment that we strive to ensure for all on our little haven of thespian pursuits, but we will understand if you'd like this particular conversation to take place in your marvelous city.

Ever yours,
Damian Asher
Theater Manager

The messanger dispatches an answer

Cordially,
keeper Nadin

// for everyone involved: i would need to ask you all to ignore the NPC attacking celovar, since its a auto reaction of the engine and the NPC wasnt DM controlled. We would assume the NPC didnt reach the scene in time to prevent the fight.
You are free to react IC to the Zhents presence at the theatre or a Akh´Velahr killing them on theatre grounds however you like of course, but please ignore the uncontrolled NPC who might have reacted very differently if a DM would ve been present.
thank you.

The following took place on the Dancing moon grounds and any who were present or who would talk to the staff of the Theatre or Natalia Rider would learn the following:


The elf known as Celovar encountered the elf Bainyrr and the human Lilly. Celovar drew his weapons. He was told by the Moonguard to sheath his weapon again but continued to charge Lilly. Lilly then shifted into a Devil form and confused the guard who stayed his hands. Bainyrr tried to defend Lilly and attacked Celovar in return and was killed by Celovar. After killing Lilly as well, he decapitated her, which caused her to shift back to human form. The by-then no longer confused Moonguard, realized Lilly was not a real devil but a Warlock and made sure Celovar left the Theatre grounds and tended to Bainyrr and Lilly. The Moonguard used a Raise dead scroll to return the slain elf from the dead.

/// OOC In light of the fact that Celovar did not attack the Moonguard, Cadence did not issue the order to ban Celovar. END OOC ///

Sighing deeply, Cadence nodded her head at the report. "If Celovar returns, he is to be watched, carefully. " She states grimly. "If you have to follow him around, do it. I'll not have a repeat of what happened."

Letters would go out to the leaders of both factions, requesting an audience with them or a representative able to speak for them.

After hearing what the staff has to say, Bainyrr tells those in Shadowdale, "So much for 'neutral ground'. As long as someone is attacks and commits murder, apparently they only get watched. I would avoid it if I were you."

After what she considered to be a rather disappointing meeting with the Ahk'Velehr, Cadence returned to the Dancing Moon and gathered her people.

"I fear at this time, the Ahk'Velehr has chosen to uphold Celovar's actions against the Zhentarim while on our grounds." She states. "As Celovar has made it more than clear that he will not respect our policies, I fear we are left with no other recourse than to see him banned."

"Other members of the Ahk'Velehr are still welcomed, but they are to be regarded with caution." She continued. "I'm not entirely certain if it was a misunderstanding, but it seems their Keeper is... overly concerned with our safety, fearing the Zhentarim will overrun us at any moment. While I appreciate his concern, I would rather not have any more altercation break out on our grounds if they can be avoided, so please remain vigilant."

"This applies to Zhentarim as well." She adds. "They are no more welcome to start fights on our grounds than the Ahk'Velehr, or anyone else for that matter. We will be taking steps to increase our security, but for now I'm afraid I'm going to have ask you to run double shifts so we can maintain a stronger presence."

"I truly appreciate all the hard work each of you has put forth into helping this dream become a reality." She smiles at her staff. "If you can give just a little bit more, I have every bit of faith that we will make it past this obstacle. Thank you, everyone."

Nodding, she turns and heads into her office.

The Keeper of Myth Drannor send another sealed message to the theather staff

Dear managers,

Considering your worries regarding our last meeting, I intend to review our position concerning your area, that unfortunatelly was caught in the middle of a war that is not yours. I intend to visit your instalations to know all you relate that you have condition enough to grant you will not find the same end of the Royal Oak, and that you're not only victims of the usurpers, devil summoners, warlocks, evil extaplanars and any other monsters the zhentarim can invoke to destroy anything that don't bend to their black market and enslavement politics, that only bring suffer and cease freedom.
If you accept my proposal I will do such visit following your rules, and I plan to go alone.

Cordially,

Keeper Nadin of Myth Drannor

Cadence returns the letter.

My dear Keeper,

You are of course welcome to view our establishment and we would be more than happy to give you the grand tour. You are also welcome to bring whomever else you wish to bring, save for Celovar as he has made it clear he will not honour our policies regarding violence on our grounds and thus is no longer to be made welcome. Rest assured that your safety will be every bit as much our concern as the safety of any other honoured guest.

Moon and Stars light your steps,
Cadence Iavas'Menel

((since the parts involved still keep diferent versions and explanations I don't know wich details to follow or what is accurate either - I ask a deeper intervention of the staff to fix this, otherwise I'm tied. Thanks.))

That is the official version, as accounted by the NPCs involved. The players, are free to RP their own versions of what happened, as everyone does interpret things their own way, but that is what the result of an investigation would reveal.

If you're referring to something else, please send me a PM or you can contact me via Skype to see if we can get any misunderstandings cleared up. My Skype ID is: Saiyadena Oriyana.
