Best of Both Worlds, 20181101

This was an adventure in the Best of Both Worlds (BBW) "world-traveling campaign" ran on 2018 Nov. 1. While BBW actually overlapped and included parts of many other campaigns; only those with events on Edyleine are listed here. Note that by design the game sessions do not show the distinction between PCs and NPCs and do not list the players.
NOTE: This session was a spur-of-the-moment introductory session to Trynser City and the world of Edyleine, not a full adventure.

Damirin 9 (Restingday) (Festival of Damira): Magus Mojarósa arrived in the Overbridge Ward of Trynser City. She was 100 cm tall (3 ft 3 1/3 in) and weighed about 15.5 kg (36 lbs.). She had light skin (skin type ii), green eyes, and long curly red hair. She wore a pinkish robe that was relatively plain but made of nice fabric, and carried a staff that was quite a bit taller than she was. She met a young man named Phillip Yevon, 16, who lived in an apartment and was studying accounting. He said accounting was "a family thing." He said his teacher was off for the day, so he was too. She said she was new to the city, and he accompanied her on foot to a market in a broad courtyard. She could smell foods, spices, animals, people, and other things. She went to the red tent of the jeweler Janna. Janna was human, about age 60, and had a bardiche-armed hobgoblin with her. Janna asked if they were looking for an engagement ring, but Mojarósa said, "Oh, no, not so lucky." Mojarósa sold her a cut pink sapphire.
She and Phillip then went on a road on ground alongside the higher Imperial Highway with a platoon of troopers from one of the dominions. She spoke to an officer about city regulations for a mage, and he suggested she check with a mage's guild. She and Phillip ate at Daggy's, a deli run by Halflings, that was one of several Daggy's in the city. They had large grilled meat sandwiches and Halfling ale, "hoppy with citrus spice." Phillip told her of the Masters of the Glass Tower, a mages' guild in the Old Palace Ward. She gave Phillip $10 for his help, which he greatly appreciated.
She paid a half-crown ($10) to cross a bridge of the Imperial Highway, and $2 for a carriage of the Gipiton family, travel across a bay from Overbridge to Old Palace. While some people shunned a Thalosian priest who entered the coach, she talked to Brother Zarmin of the Tartaran Order. The bridge had two decks, the higher for the Imperial Highway, and the lower for city traffic. There were buildings on both sides of the bridge with shops, a hotel, and a guard house.
On the other side in Old Palace, she left the carriage for a "building lit up like neon." She entered the Masters of the Glass Tower guildhall, and met Magus Tulwyn the Magnificent. He looked to be somewhere around 30, well built with dark curly hair and beard and wearing a one-piece suit (that, on Earth, might look like something Elvis Presley would wear). The first thing Tulwyn asked was, "Are you from our world?" Mojarósa answered, "I prefer my past stay in the past, thank you." But her accent was that of a native. He questioned her about her magical abilities and gave her an examination for spells and Thaumatology. She passed. Tulwyn briefly explained laws pertaining to magic, and let her know that the capital punishment for spellcasters was burning. She was given the option of casting magic on an item being built or paying 2 1/2 crowns ($50) for a one-week permit. She paid the money. She later learned Tulwyn's proper name was George Tulwyn.
