Meeting Eul & Sir Braford

**Story Arcs**

###### **A BREATH OF FRESH AIR**

The trio finally escape the sewers and are able to breath the comparitvely fresher air of Jaskir's Lower Commons. Silent Peepo decides to head off by himself to get washed up at the Jaskir Bathhouse. Ashes and Bogladin share a few words together before they both take notice of the tent that was set up in front of their new home that had not been there before.

Ashes takes notice at a transaction in progress between a human woman and the owner of the tent, a elf clad in leather armor. The woman hands the elf off a small pouch of coin and in exchange she recieves a mysterious and beautiful looking simple wood structured hourglass filled with glittering blue sand. Ashes tries to make conversation and to take notice of what holy symbol she seemed to hide away as the massive golaith approached towards her, scurrying away somewhere into the Lower Commons without saying much, but catching the name of the tent owner, **Eul**.

###### **EUL'S ODD'S AND END'S**

Ashes' attention shifts towards the tall, thin elf who seemed to be the owner of this tent. Matching Ashes' height, the pure elf (seemingly wood elf) bears a scar on his upper lip, and has pale white skin with long dark hair.

Ashes addresses him by his name, Eul, which he caught from the strange human lady who scurried off as he approached. He asked him some questions regarding the hourglass and her religion, learning that she is a member of the Church of Oghma, a religion that does not get much worship in Jaskir, and that the relic she bought has ties with that religion.

Ashes takes a look at the elfs stock, and stumbles on some nice weapons which catch his attention. The weapon that catches his eye is a pair of platinum knuckles with vicious looking arrow head like daggers attached known as the Spikefang Knuckles. Eul offers Ashes the magical knuckles for 6 platinum coins, but Ashes offers 3 platinum, some antique wine, for both the knuckles and some more insight regarding where he came across that hourglass relic.

###### **EUL'S INSIGHT**

Eul agrees and takes Ashes' coin, immediately popping the cork off the bottle, inspecting it with a whiff before pouring it into the beer horn which was slung on his waist. He gives it a taste and then offers it to Ashes who sips it with pleasure, and some for Bogladin as well. The wine is delicious, and was probably worth way more than the 3 platinum deficit he used to barter for the information, but it was of no concern to Ashes.

After the drink, Eul sits down on a couch he set up inside his tent and begins to recall on how he aquired the hourglass, eventually describing a man who Ashes believes to be **Draven Barlow**. Eul tells Ashes that he doesen't know much about the man in question, just that he seemed to be in a rush to make some money and wasn't worrying about maximizing his profit, and was rather in a hurry to sell it off for some quick coin and was last seen somewhere around the Noble's District.

Ashes thanks Eul for the insight, and decides to go out for a stroll in Jaskir to see if he can find a magic item appraiser. The two set off and eventually find their way towards the Noble's District, and after some searching and asking about, they find their way inside the **Flyin' Griffin**.

###### **THE STENCH OF ADVENTURE**

The time is reaching late noon and before the duo head off, they bump into Silent Peepo who looks incredibly clean with freshly laundered clothing. He tells the two that they absolutely reek and should probably consider taking a bath at the nearby Bathhouse. Ashes and Bogladin agree, and head there.

Heading inside the bathhouse they are met with a beautiful but aged human woman named Aphrodite. She takes their coin and leads them inside, Bogladin opts to bathe himself, while Ashes takes the premium service and has an attendant take care of that for him.

The two bathe for around 30 minutes, their clothes are laundered and cleaned up, and they both come out fresh and ready for social interations. The sun sets more and more, so Ashes decides to pick up the pace.

###### **THE FLYIN' GRIFFIN**

Ashes and Bogladin find their way to the front of the magic store known as the Flyin' Griffin, found in the Noble's District in Jaskir. The door is closed, and the hour is very late; nearing nighttime.

Ashes knocks on the closed door and hears a male voice calling from inside shouting at someone else to open the door, after a short moment the door unlocks and opens, revealling a hunched over well dressed man clad in jewelry messing with things behind the counter and two purple-pink ghostly looking appartitions; the owners **Unseen Servant's**.

The two meandre their way up to the counter and Ashes asks the man to appraise the knuckles he purchased off of Eul. After a short discussion about the price, Ashes pays the fee and aquires further insight on the Spikefang Knuckles. Ashes thanks him for his service, and heads back to the Lower Commons of Jaskir with Bogladin.

Ashes and Bogladin opt to sleep at Haven & Hearth, the inn located inside the Lower Commons of Jaskir, instead of their rat ridden and poison smothered new home. They enjoy a peaceful and relatively comfortable night of rest.
