Journal Entry - 04/21/20

Mishal wakes up first thing in the morning, at 8am in a panicked cold sweat. She calmly dresses, walks downstairs and politely requests a tea from the innkeeper and drinks in contemplative silence. What the fuck was that volcano goddess?

Akmenos leaves Tom before he finds his fortune. Time marches on and everyone...eventually makes it to the dining room in the inn. Akmenos startles Mishal from her reverie to go hat shopping! There are hats LITERALLY everywhere, on shelves, displays, basic, intricate and a nice quiet place for the seasoned hat shopper to browse properly.

How fancy! Sophie walks out of a backroom and impresses us with her hat knowledge and hat improving abilities. Mishal doesn't notice because she begins polishing Sophie's doorknobs. Howl offers us a bunch of information including tidbits such as "the Undercity in Regnum has been destroyed." and "go to Dresmouth, Montmouth or Nis if you are looking for entrances to the Undercity." and "I fucking hate the King of Regnum." So that was cool...He even asks us to visit him in Chalice ("ShAAl-EEse").

We all look for different ways to kill time while waiting for Rhak's axe to be ready. Akmenos leaves to take care of some other business and everyone else decides to go to the garden to do drugs. On the way, Mishal starts explaining her dream to Rhak'Thal. He asks about whether this could be a patron goddess which seems like a very pointed comment for a military man. He encourages her to pursue this plot line and they head off to the temple of Lathander.

Meanwhile Hal gives Avarra and she skeptically takes it. Oh how the tables turn. Let's see what she thinks.

Akmenos goes through the backdoor of a bar to talk to the mistakenly identified soup wench but she's not there so...uh...Akmenos orders one old lady. The bartender goes to fetch her and they make euphemisms about paying poor people.

Avarra says she wants to get closer to nature and minor illusions into Hal. This is very confusing and Avarra and Hal decide to return to the bathhouse but Hal doesn't seem clear on what is going on. They head out of the park and meet Rhak and Mishal on the way. Everybody is down to go to the bathhouse. Hal gets a room for each of himself and Rhak decides to buy a massage and room.

Akmenos and Mishal receive a letter! The receptionist asks Mishal to close the door and not let bugs in and we transition to Rhak.

Blue eyes hit him with an axe so he kicks out the masseur. He scares off the eyes with his nudity and runs to Hal's room as soon as he dresses.

Rhak goes to Hal's room to talk about seeing hallucinations of Helder and feeling an axe stabbing in his back. He ran to Hal for help, and shortly thereafter the second Hal reverted to Avarra which got weird. Hal and Rhak talk about the axe in the back for a bit and then head out to the front to meet the rest of the party. Rhak got a letter that says,"I heard you were looking for work. You can find me by reaching out to me at 867-5309." The numbers were actually written in a circle that was about the size of the Undercity ring :O :O :O

Akmenos gives Avarra more cheese than most people have eaten in their life. Another interesting encounter!

We go to 867-5309 and it's a warehouse for wheat fields. Mishal and Akemnos see the woman who brought that letter for Rhak! Find Morrigan in Nis. He will send us to the Undercity.

We return to Grennar's for a certain silvered axe. He is blacksmithing and then sees us and greets us. Mishal shows off in Draconic again. Then Rhak gets his axe! Grennar suggests we go visit his cousin Cinder if we're going to Nis.

Avarra casts sleep on Akmenos and tries to take a peak under the mask. When Akmenos wakes up he says he has to take care of some nightly business again and he'll see us tomorrow.
