A Family Matter

"A Family Matter" is the 13th session of Campaign 2.0.
== Summary ==
* We visit Bryna’s parents! The Novell Estate is absolutely massive, and it’s quite obvious that they’re just... super rich people. Her mother and father, Iona and Ranthal, welcome her back home with open arms and lots of love!
* Bryna’s parents are pretty great. Ranthal’s super outgoing and enthusiastic, while Iona is exasperated with his long winded explanations of absolutely everything he owns… and that’s a lot of stuff. Ranthal did his fair share of exploring back of the day.
* Apparently, Ranthal and Thomal know each other! Ranthal at some point had taken residence with Thomal’s clan while adventuring, and helped hunt down an albino mammoth.
* We have an awesome-ass six course dinner. After that, we head to our respective guest rooms. The servants tell Bryna that her parents requested for  her to talk with them.
* Ranthal and Iona sit her down and insist that she finally marry a dude, have a kid... she’s growing older. Her parents have already bought some land for her to settle down in. Iona mentions it’s been a while since Bryna’s been married. The conversation doesn’t end well. Ranthal and Iona open their arms for a parting hug, but Bryna turns away and storms back to her room.
* She shuts the door behind her… and kinda cries a bit. A lot. Sulelia tries to hold her, but Bryna wrestles out of her arms and yells at her to go to bed. The next morning we have breakfast, and the Novells send us off.
* When we get back home, we visit the library. Thomal reads up on etiquette and weaponry, Gareth on forest dwelling creatures, Sulelia on low self esteem and emotions (in an attempt to decode Bryna), and Bryna on extracting enchantments, retrieving souls from the afterlife, and giving life to a machine.
* Sulelia goes off to talk to Orkrush. She laments on how she’s concerned for Bryna, and how she feels as if she’s failing her order because nothing has come of her mission. Orkrush reassures her that it’ll make itself known in time, and that he’s proud of her! The two share a touching hug.
* Bryna wants to learn more about extracting enchantments, so she visits the head of the artificer district - a gnome named Glim Silverthread. He’s dope, and his voice is absolutely ridiculous. He gives Bryna his notes on extracting enchantments, and she plans to transfer Charles the Ring into her mechanical dragon.
* During all of this, Angeal takes the time to paint a picture of the party! Bryna glances over it and tells Angeal her nose isn’t that pointy. After she leaves, Gareth swings by and tells Angeal that Bryna’s nose is a little pointier.
