HELIX

This is the 3rd session of the Mysteries of Waterdeep campaign for The Albatross Pirates.

Following the job to take care of Mr. Eckles, another job appeared for the party to handle reports of an abandoned house that the neighbors noticed was having weird occurrences. Once they arrived, The Red Wind had found that the building was mostly abandoned other than a single magical source of technology that was within the kitchen area. After investigating the part gets trapped within the building by a rogue Artificial Magical Intelligence known as HELIX.

Helix had trapped Vasnyl within a separate chamber and started to issue treats and commands towards him and the rest of the Red Wind outside. After a while of following instructions, they began to get more and more violent and it started to worry the group. Seeing that their situation was growing more dire by the minute, Hal decides to try to trick HELIX into shutting down its systems as Hal falsely promises future relationship and improvement, an invitation into his revolution. After being successful, Hal goes over to HELIX and manages to deactivate the magical connection cables that were keeping it running.

Successfully completing the job, the Red Wind once again returned to Vision Inc to report their success and find further work. They were immediately notified by Count Bartelby of any remaining jobs that were up for offer and that their pay has been decided for the last mission they had undergone. Receiving the pay for their two jobs they had completed, the party decided to go to the main street of Waterdeep and try to purchase some land as a temporary base of operations.

Heading to the bank, the group meets with a younger woman named Candace Auburn. She showed the group their options in what they were able to purchase with the money they had acquired from Vision. After a bit of negotiating the party decided to allow Candace to work as their current financial advisor and allow her to choose the best house in the area for the money they could buy. Afterwards Captain Bilji shook her hand in agreement and was told that a house would be bought and prepared for the group within a few days time. The group decided to wait and rest for a few days until the home was ready for them.
