AWR Session 3

- Downtime achieved. Callus tidies up for company, Mollie indirectly returns the carriage, Lucian finds Four and engages in bar time, Callie went to a tavern to "mingle", Mei reports back to the Dunes and makes herself an alibi at the Cloaked Rabbit.

- Four is Green now. Green is a little bitchy.

- Valie goes to the castle to find Asoka, but she isn't there. Group splits after meeting at Callus' place, half go to check out the town hall library

- Town hall has a huge statue of a woman holding a child with flowers growing on her head. Impeccably clean. Town hall is clearly closed. No Asoka.

- M&M go back to Cloaked Rabbit. Adorable goblin girl doing her very best (Rosa) guarding the door to the Dunes hideout

- Zoya and tiefling with blue scar on face (Augusta) receive them. Zoya is pissed we killed the shopkeeper. Neither of them have a clue how that happened. Pass in the blood honey, receive reward for speed (TAE HOW MUCH DID WE GET?)

- INFO DUMP: Matteo's real name is Stormspear. Was born to the Daughters of the Wave, but was thrown out because they don't take men. First boy born to them in centuries. Has a need for vengeance, wants to summon an evil entity. Word is he is heading to Yozen'Koi (spelling??) by way of Nontra.

- We're going to have a hard time getting through the Stockade. Dunes suggest we have a good story before we go. Most likely to get us through is if we say we're going to Everstone as mercenaries to help rebuild. We need fake paperwork.

- Augusta says that she's willing to smuggle us on an airship in three days in exchange for a book the Adamre have. Another artifact, has the power to bring gods back to life, assuming Matteo has it for the ritual he's going to do with the Empress.

- Matteo also has a blade made of dragon spine that left that blue scar on Augusta

- Four is red now. Red is cool. Says his name is Andros, Green is Throon, Blue is Maya. Can confirm Green is a bit of a bitch.

- Callus & Valie have exhaustion from the night of searching for Asoka

- Mollie walks in on Callus without bandages. Brain explodes.

- Reunite at castle to download with Princess.

- Try to figure out connection of Adamre to Daughters. Affiliated, but not the same. Adamre are essentially Free Masons, gathering up ultimate source of knowledge. Four Daughter factions: Wave, Flame, Gale, Soil.

- Mei shows everyone the artifact and explains how she got it. Valie puts it on her head. Crazy shit happens. Crown is removed. Leaves black marks where it'd been attached to her.

- Identify 6 boxes from Matteo's room as six magic rings. Mollie goes to have the Rabbit Ring identified. They are divvied up later. We all have new things except Callus, who can't wear jewelry.

- PRINCESS HAS SQUEAKY OWLBEAR SLIPPERS

- Alenora straight up lies to the group's face about knowing what the crown is. After convincing, she says there was no weird reaction when Lightless women wore crown for their weddings. Suggests we go to Arithia @ temple for identification needs

- Valie goes to library to look up Lightless history. Mei meets her there and looks up fairy tales. Finds "The Dance" which is a fairy tale about Shar and Selune. Crown is there, as is a honking big sword with a ruby in it and a sickle. Valie finds original name of royal family was Moondancer and they claim to be direct descendants of Selune (or Shar?). Crown was found during excavation to build palace and is considered a sign

- Valie and Callus split off, rest go to find info about Asoka's whereabouts

- Mollie goes as love-stricken Triton to very fancy bar (Six-to-Midnight). Britana is there, dark blue woman, knows Asoka was looking for a crown. Also has a necklace denoting her as one of the daughters. Tries to bang Mollie. Fails to touch her and break illusion

- Lucian and Four go to seedier establishment. Lucien talks up the bartender, gets info that Bernie left with two blue women. Bernie is in the bar arm wrestling. Lucian gets him talking about all the sexy times he paid for with the two blue women. Says Asoka had a husband to go back to.

- Bernie tried to pay Four for sexy times. Four punches him in the face.

- Bar fight ensues. In the chaos, Mei relieves Bernie of some coin.

- Leave the bar, Lucian goes off to "reconnect with his god" and might actually be telling the truth?
