I must admit that the waterdeep mission has become a little bit boring. What had started as a great opportunity nine months ago, has become a routine job.
At the beginning, all was new: The city of waterdeep, the yawning portal, the discussions in Gareth's council about financing this mission. Not to forget the rapid growth of House Vandree that was the reason for me and Riordan to come here in the first place.
But not much happened during the last months. OK, I have to admit: some Gith appeared and brought their eternal fight against the mind flayers to neverwinter. This opened an opportunity, which Fini'they Vandree immediately took. She invited Gith characters into House Vandree. But the number of Gith in the ranks of the house remains small. Not much impact.
House Vandree made some progess, too. It could build important supporting structures and is about to upgrade their barracks soon, but it clearly lost its dynamic.
Finally, after my last presentation at the court of Gareth, the funds of this mission were cut to 0. Consequently, we had to transform our cover up workshop into a real enterprise. That was quite a success. Follwing the example of Omin Dran and Acquisitions Inc., we really make money by producing highest quality healing potions and selling them to the merchants.
So this operation has become self sustaining. We can continue to monitor House Vandree, as long as the Barony of Bloodstone has nothing more important for us to do. Nice, but I did not escape the daily routine in the Bloodstone army and move to the promising west coast, just to run an alchemists' shop and watch the slow progress of a minor drow house in neverwinter.
I should really look for another exiting opportinity...
"Cousin Celedon! Have you heard about the Vallenhas estate?" Riordan suddenly asked.
Maybe Riordan had found something interesting for us. "No, tell me about it!" I replied, trying to hide my hope that this might become a hook for a new adventure.
