Session 10 – and Thiana’s drunk… again.

* After a night’s sleep the party heads out toward Widow’s Port again, when they get there the ferry is headed south in an hour they check out the general store and catch the ferry for a sightseeing tour.
* As they are watching Mount Maglar, Drum’s simulacrum appears in their midst and advises them that they have been assigned to find the Staff of Amadar, it disappeared when Queen Elenor Lillian Windren (née Greydon) fled Capital City. It is thought she somehow past, some if not more, of the artifacts to her sister-in-law Lady Helena Greydon who fled Tackron via Widow’s Port.
* The party arrives at Tuna Dock several crates of cargo and workers board, Rei cracks out some knives and makes sushi and they head back to Widow’s Port where several more crates, workers and an elderly lady board, then up through Halibut Port with more crates of fish and workers boarding. They get back to Xyrix about 10 pm.
* The party heads to the local tavern. Thiana pulls out the Lamian Wine and Rei agrees to have a spoonful, Rei is slightly buzzed and Thiana face-plants the table. Prim get nervous and Bael ignores the situation.
* At the corner table the elderly lady who boarded the ferry at Widow’s Port is having a scotch. Rei goes over to talk to her. She comments on his being on a fox team and asks what they are looking for. Rei tells her that they are looking for the Staff of Amadar and are going to see if they can find out where Lady Greydon went. The lady says it was a very sad story in lore about poor Lady Greydon fleeing with her daughter to meet her sister-in-law the queen as the kings men were coming to meet her husband at the manor and executed him.
* Rei asks why queen was fleeing and the lady says that when she found that he and his dark wizard friend Yagred killed not only various other noble’s children but three of their own children. Rei has never heard this before and Prim seeing his distress comes over, Thiana starts to drool some more, Prim and Rei buy the lady a drink and talk to her some more.
* Bael continues to sip his water. Thiana suddenly wakes up but is still very loopy and almost breaks some chairs, the tavern owner gets irritated and tell the party that he is required to feed, water, shelter and provide items of free not allow them to destroy his property! Rei grabs Thiana and settles her down and Prim disentangles a chair from her tail and grabs the end of her tail. Rei asks for Bael’s help and get it to wrestle her out and to the bunk house. Prim uses mend to fix the damage.

Session 10 – DON’T TOUCH! It’s tender.

* The next morning the party finds the next ship to Paradise Island is arriving and leaving tomorrow.
* Rei is pleased to find that his clan is in town selling furs today, he talks to the supervising elder about the clan’s relationship with the Greydons, and the elder tells him the clan was great allies with the Greydons who were good leaders. Rei asks about the letter they found indicating they sent their son to safety with allies on Tackron. The elder says he knows nothing about that.
* Prim and Thiana go for a walk in the wilderness and are beset by wolves who get some pretty good hits in on Thiana. Prim and Thiana retreat.
* The party drops by the town clerk, Drum has sent some rewards for their excellent service.
* Rei says goodbye to his clan and they head home. The party turns in for the night.
* The next day the ship comes to port just a bit before noon, it is damaged. Prim talks to one of the sailors and finds out they were attacked by orcs, but repairs will be swift and they will leave in a few hours.
* Prim and Thiana stock up on potions.
* As they are leaving Rei sees the lady he saw in the tavern the first night and goes to say goodbye. She says her name is Linsey and he shakes her hand. As she holds his hand she smiles and says, “Beware of tricksters child.” And a shock runs through Rei’s body and a sharp pain in his left buttock hits him. He turns away for a moment and when he turns back she is gone.
* On the ship his left butt cheek is still hurting and he asks Bael to take a look, they discover a tattoo of a wolf silhouetted in a full moon. After some examination Bael determines it is magical and 1x per day Rei can activate it to have 1d4+1 wolves to help him out, clothing covering the area will be destroyed amour will cause the tattoo not to activate.

Session 10 – You put who in charge?

* After a couple of days of uneventful travel the party arrives at Paradise Island the ship docks and the party disembarks. It is extremely hot and Rei is very uncomfortable.
* The party enters the Obelisk by the main east entrance into the market area with a large fountain, Prim takes Rei over to the shaved ice seller Mr Harken and buys Rei a shaved ice. Rei immediately gets brain freeze, Bael and Prim watch as he orders another.
* Thiana has headed down the north tunnel to her family’s quarters where she finds her father, who is happy to see her but nervous, her informs her that Amsdrell is crime boss her mother pays protection to and his son Grimdell has taken an interest in her that she would not be interested in. Thiana head back to the market.
* Prim leaves Rei (still consuming massive amounts of sugary shaved ice) with Bael and goes to look for Thiana.
* Rei finishes his snack and he and Bael head to the south tunnel.
* Prim and Thiana meet up and start to notice a lot of activity by workmen and city guards, they also discuss Amsdrell’s possible hold over the Ghralfanyo’s business affairs and his sons interest in her “properties“. Thiana is not happy to find out Drum doesn’t appear to have done anything to protect her family.
* Bael and Rei go into the education wing and find a sparing arena and archery range. Bael and Rei square off in the sparing ring but Rei has a sugar crash and loses badly. Rei heads to the smith to have some dents banged out of his shield.
* Prim and Thiana talk to a workman and find out the LHD has reinstated the Viziership naming Seely Cooper the Vizier of Paradise Island. Upsetting the balance of criminal organizations and bureaucracy the island has operated on since the fall.
* Thiana and Prim run into Rei and Bael and they go to the Shrewshear family home a bit further down the south tunnel. It is busy and has low ceilings. Her mother greets them and indicates she is very nervous about the political changes and while it is business as usual they have prepared some contingency plans, She gives the party 30 gold, and tells Prim that while it is good to treat merchants with respect she should also take the freebies and discounts she gets as a fox team member as she is not being paid.
* Prim talks to her father who mansions that the Vizier’s quarters are being opened up and perhaps they should talk to Seely about poking about in a day or two when the door is uncovered.
* The party heads to an old administration office where they find Seely Cooper with the LHD’s secretary, Drum, who is presumably assisting her to get used to her new position. She show quite a bit of interest in Rei and Bael and gives permission for the party to look around when that wing is opened up.
