Session 3

## *"Suspicions Grow"*

#### Bullet-By-Bullet

1. The trio enter the main city area, looking for a bakery, as Raymond had discovered Ryot had not been to a bakery before. They found one bakery which sold fried sweets, tarts, and cupcakes, but mainly donuts (Geffen and Gorlik's place). The trio then headed a block down to a more sophisticated bakery to get macaroons (Ms. Misla's), and then to a pawn shop across the street, where Garugar is confronted by the shopkeeper for being a Glurthall. After that, they head to a bank, which is near SU.
2. In the bank, Ryot turns in his gold back to exchange for actual money. Garugar gets a Falos bank ID. Raymond had previously cast disguise self to look like and Earth Genasi, but it had worn off, and he waiting via hiding in he corner until they were ready to leave. Ryot past out because of his sugar high, and Garugar carries him by the scruff of his shirt collar.
3. Raymond, Garugar, and an unconscious nine year old head over to Stormbridge University, where the guard is lenient and chill and lets them in, giving them Visitor passes. He notices Raymond is a Tiefling, and warns him not to go to the dorms.
4. Garugar and Raymond (and Ryot) head to the library. Raymond finds eight books and plops down to read, whereas Garugar is set on finding a map of Spirothen. The librarian, an elder man named Milo, took Garugar to the back room and showed him the map. Garugar copied it down on some parchment.
5. Garugar headed back over to the bank and got the money, while Raymond and Kelpie (and Ryot) stayed in the library. Garugar then returned, found Raymond still wanting to read, and got a book called 'The Ghost Stories of Goldenfire' to read. They left about an hour later.
6. The trio found an inn called 'The Celestial Carrot' and got a single two bed room to share. They left Ryot in the closet with Kelpie and headed down for dinner. Raymond got a slightly spicy beef stew, and Garugar got tomato soup. They also got some free bread, but Garugar dipped part of his de-chocolated donut in instead.
7. At one point, Raymond noticed a person in a blue cloak with gold trim taking notes on each person in the Inn's restaurant area. Raymond hid his head behind his hands a bit, and desperately tried to make small talk, to which Garugar commented on in confusion.
8. Eventually, the person vanished and Raymond relaxed. Kelpie squeezed through the floorboard of the ceiling above them,  plopped down to the table, and proceeded to steal all of the free bread. The inn's server called animal control, but Kelpie headed back up to the room.
9. Garugar and Raymond finished eating and headed back up stairs, to which they found that the door lock was broken (Kelpie's fault) and that Raymond's bag had been looked through (also Kelpie's fault). As for Kelpie's current location, he had been stuffing bread into an unconscious Ryot's mouth.
10. Raymond used a chair to keep the door closed, and Garugar went to bed. A while later, Raymond did too, but wasn't able to go to sleep, as Kelpie had somehow gotten out through the window and needed to get back in. He had a piece of paper with him, which he put back in Raymond's notebook (where he had stolen it from).
11. The note read, in misspelled, large, and chunky handwriting, "Raymond, Ryot is not safe, I worry. -Ami". Raymond and Garugar quickly figure out it had been Kelpie who'd written the note, who confirmed that he was in fact, Ami.
12. Raymond remembered that Ryot had mentioned a cursed blade, and drew it from the belt Ryot kept it on. It transformed into a version of his sword, but made entirely of ice. Raymond dropped the sword on the bed once he could move his hand again, and it transformed in a claw-shaped item.
13. Garugar recognized the claw, saying he had also found one that had turned into the flute. He picked up the claw, which transformed into a hawk feather, that only briefly for a moment seemed to retain the ice-like appearance of the variant of Raymond's sword.
14. Garugar put it down, and it, again, transformed into a claw. Raymond wrapped it in a blanket it [and hid it?]. Kelpie wrote "thank you" down on paper, once again messy and misspelled (but only after trying to sign to them).
15. Raymond and Garugar went back to sleep.
