The adventurers' journey on the wagon train continues, with Gemma revealing the cultists' slow-poisoning plot. Gleam Silver kills a cultist, leading to tense negotiations with the other travelers. Upon arriving in Waterdeep, they locate Leosin Erlanthar and Paladin Froome at the Yawning Portal. Froome and Leosin discuss the Cult of the Dragon's growing threat and task the party with tracking the cultists by joining the northward-bound wagon train. The adventurers discuss joining various factions: Poppy and Wog join the Order of the Gauntlet, Agron joins the Harpers, and Ektar remains unaffiliated. The session concludes with the party preparing to depart with the wagon train, instructed to maintain a low profile while gathering information on the cultists' plans.
