Session 14 – Who is that very wealthy woman who smells like Mom

* The party gets passage on a boat the next morning and starts their journey to Phule’s Island looking to pick up on the trail of Ameillia Greydon.
* Thiana is busy being a bit sick over the railing one day on the boat when one of the sailors approaches her and asks if she is OK. When Thiana indicates she will be OK, the sailor pats her on the back and a shock of electricity shoots through her body leaving a pain just over her left breast. When she looks around the lady has disappeared. There is a tattoo of a whirl-wind.
* Prim determines that, once per day, Thiana can add a modified Flaywind Burst to a fire spell. Thiana’s Mom is going to kill her.
* The party arrives at Destrin and starts looking for the Detmore family and Ameillia Greydon.
* The city is surrounded by stone walls.
* There are a lot of crates with silver green leaves being loaded on ships at the dock. When Prim asks about them, the team find out it is called aflexia, a stimulant.
* The party notices there are a lot of shops around with the name Ambrinny’s Farm on them.
* Rei asks about where to find census records and is pointed to city hall. The party arrives and speaks to the secretary and asks about finding records on the Detmore family. The secretary says if they want to talk to the Mayor about his family, she will see if he has time and indicates for the party to take a seat.
* Thiana tries to take a seat and Rei tries to help get her tail on the coach. Thianna and Rei have tail tossing fight.
* There are several statues around the room and Prim notices that three of the statues are named Gregory Detmore I, Marcus Detmore II, and Victor Detmore V.
* The Mayor comes out, he is Marcus Detmore VI. He advises if they want to talk family history to talk to his grandmother Anna Detmore. He orders a carriage to take them to her house.
* They notice, when they get there, that the small yard is crammed full of statuary. They are met by Anna Detmore at the door who invites them into her very nice brick-a-brack jammed manor house. In a sitting room she opens up a large book, there is no Ameillia Greydon listed as a family ward but there is an Ameillia listed with no maiden name who married Marcus Detmore I.
* She calls her great niece into the room to assist them further as she needs to rest.
* Rei finds something strangely familiar about Emily; she smells very much like his family. When she takes him to the kitchen with Thiana and Prim. It is too much and he pins her against the wall while sniffing her. Prim and Thiana are horrified and try to pull him away.
* The commotion alerts Bael, who had stayed back to read through the book some more. Bael enters the kitchen only to see Prim and Thiana trying futilely to pull Rei off her when Emily, horrified swipes at his face bringing him back to his senses as Bael hauls him out of the house to a park across the street. Emily, Prim, and Thiana head to the porch to have tea.
* In the park, Bael indicates he found that Marcus Detmore III and his wife Ameillia invested heavily in the Ambrinny’s Farm.
* Bael and Rei head back to the Detmore home to collect Thiana and Prim. Rei apologizes to Emily who now seems amused at his explanation.

Session 14 – Goblins!!!

* The next morning, the party wakes up and gets to the tavern at 6 AM. They arrive just as the keeper is putting away the morning meal and he comments that he’s never had to deal with such late risers before.
* After a good meal, they head out toward the Ambrinny’s Farm local farm.
* They get there early morning and Rei is checking out the well. Bael talks to the farmer’s wife as most of the men are out in the fields. She says that Ameillia and Marcus Detmore invested heavily in the farm infrastructure, enabling them to really excel. Primarily, they paid for the well in the main farm yard, improved the walls, and helped with installing irrigation. Prim asks if they have any descendants. The farmer’s wife says they send dividends to Andras Detmore II in Kelum, where that branch of the family is based. He has a daughter and 2 sons. She understands that the eldest daughter, Emily, is currently in Destrin, staying with Anna Detmore.
* Bael casts detect magic and gets a ping off the well where Rei is standing. As he is walking toward the well, the ground heaves, and a large group of goblins and orcs burst from a nearby garden patch. As they pour forth, the party engages with them while more pour out of the ground. After the group defeats this group, they follow a tunnel into the ground and find a tunnel that leads in two directions. In one direction they find an underground stream and search the bottom of the well to find the Sigil of Creation.
* Bael seems to be in a strange mood and instead of moving on, pushes the party to move down the other tunnel to chase the goblins. They travel down the tunnel and take out several caves full of goblins and orcs. Bael seems grimly determined. Finally they get to a large dorm cave, which Bael and Rei clear out, while Prim and Thiana clear a side cavern with 3 orcs with Prim’s fog cloud and Thiana’s thermal vision.
* Searching the room afterward they find a bit of gold, a trap door under some rugs and a key ring with 6 keys.
