Great Greengrass Festhall Rampage of 1353

To Start the Evening

• The evening starts well enough, at the Melshimber Villa, for the opening of a grand party celebrating the Melshimber victory at the Vintner's Crown exhibition.
  • Ciro not only gets the blessing to leave early, but permission from Lady Hlanta to wear the gaudy Vintner's Crown out on the town.
  • The party-goers seem to love the idea, and so to back it up, Lady Hlanta fetches Ciro a purse of coin with which to buy everyone drinks at the festhalls they end up in, so long as the only thing he buys are Melshimber vintages!
• The Melshimbers present their gifts to Ciro as well before he and his compatriots depart:
  • From Lady Hlanta the purse of party-funds, as well as the keys to the Heroes' Rest on the Cliffride. It is only fitting that with so much of his current responsibilities not being attached to the House (to say nothing of the possibility of becoming involved with the Heralds), it is best that he have his own residence from which to work. She will tend to the costs for the villa's upkeep for a year.
  • From his parents, Ciatto and Andeda, a full and proper wardrobe
  • From his Uncle Moro, a fine new mantle and cloak-clasp.
• By that time, the entire party has assembled: Ciro, Evendur, Glim, Ahmadar, Dran Wands.
  • Also accompanying them are Aiwen Frostbough and Pike Belabranta, as well as Teshura.
  • Their intrepid party picks up some other revelers from the Melshimber party, notably Reso and Carina Ruldegost, Ryany Wavesilver and Dawnbringer Darus Killian.
• The party takes a quick trip by the Crawling Spider, where a strange company of dwarves, priests, half-orcs and human women dressed as drow elves all wish Ciro a happy birthday, and celebrate with a round of the Coin Wines that the Crawling Spider carries.
  • The party doesn't spend long there, though they do find themselves downstairs for a couple of dances on the dance-floor there, drinking heavily all the while.
  • Ahmadar introduces everyone to a couple of people, none of whom anyone really remembers by the time you saunter out the doors. Except that there was a dwarf who blushed furiously when Ahmadar introduced him, and threatened to crack Ahmadar one "about his damned fool head!" Ahmadar seemed to find it endearing.
