## Transcript- Session 7, Cask

DAY THREE 10 AM BELLBURY TIME

Urrak, Ravaphine, and Brimeia have wandered down for breakfast. There are a handful of people here, sleeping on stools or eating fruit.(edited)

[10:33 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak wanders towards the kitchen, looking to see if there's food in the back

[10:35 PM] DM: There is indeed. A big pot of some kind of porridge is on the fire and there's meat roasting in the back.

[10:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak takes some porridge and a slice of roasted meat, sleepily leaving a gold piece on the counter in the back and walking back out to join her group

[10:38 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I've not slept so deep in weeks. How's the mornin' treatin' the rest o' ya?"

[10:39 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Weeks? We've only been here three days. What were you doing before you got here, Urrak? I don't think I ever asked" Ravaphine asks the half orc

[10:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Travelin'. A man hired me t' escort him though a patch of dark woods."

[10:40 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Humans are soft, squishy things. The poor lad wouldn't last an hour without protection"

[10:40 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Mmm. Feelin' much better." Brimeia stretches.

[10:41 PM] DM: Cyan comes in from outside, running a hand quickly back and forth through her short hair, causing small droplets of water to fly off. She spots you all and joins you. "Bit wet out there this morning."

[10:42 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak flushes slightly, now fully awake. "Aye, bit o' mornin' dew. Brimeia, have ye still got ol' Poni?"

[10:42 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "He's in here" Ravaphine says as she taps her bag

[10:43 PM] DM: You can hear a bit of faint muffled noise.

[10:43 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ah, right. We should all get some food in us before we head out. Perhaps some equipment as well. Brimeia needs another spear"

[10:44 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((are there any shops in the area even though theyre unoccupied))

[10:44 PM] DM: You can look for them.

[10:45 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Cyan, do you come equipped?" she asks

[10:46 PM] DM: You can see that she does have a thin rapier hanging from her hip. "You mean my lyre's not enough for you?"

[10:47 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well can you sing the beasts to sleep?" Brimeia chuckles

[10:47 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I do love your lyre."

[10:48 PM] DM: "I might," she grins. "But I'd rather just watch you all work."

[10:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Shall we look for an armory in the town?"

[10:51 PM] DM: Cyan: "I noticed a forge just on the other side of the square. Maybe there'd be something there?"

[10:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sounds like the place we need t' be. Shall we?" Urrak begins to walk towards the forge

[10:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine follows

[10:53 PM] DM: You step out of the Cask and notice that there's a drizzle outside. There is a forge visible on the other side of the fountain, south of the square.

[10:54 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: We walk south

[10:55 PM] DM: The forge is in open air, surrounded by some tools and items, but there's also an actual building built around it in a sort of U-shape.

[10:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak steps into the building, looking for the owner of the forge

[10:56 PM] DM: Nobody's inside.

[10:56 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia wanders in behind the others, looking around for anything of interest.

[10:57 PM] DM: Most of the items you can see are farming tools, shovels, hoes, a couple pickaxes, but there are a few shortswords, javelins, and daggers inside.

[10:57 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Empty as can be." Urrak walks back out and joins the others

[10:57 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia snags one of the javelins to replace the one she lost in the previous battle.

[10:58 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine pockets the dagger

[10:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((are the daggers just standard or are they nice? Like better than the one I have currently))

[10:59 PM] DM: Standard. This is all simple stuff made for a town of simple people.

[10:59 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak just watches the others as they pick through the weapons

[11:02 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Have y' got everythin' y' need?"

[11:02 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "looks good, let's head out to Poni's again"

[11:02 PM] DM: Cyan looks through but doesn't take anything.

[11:02 PM] DM: Cyan: "After you!"

[11:04 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak leads the group towards the basement, warning Cyan about the state of it. "If it appears like a bomb has gone off in here, it basically has."

[11:06 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Bring out that old curmudgeon of a stick and we'll head out. Everybody ready?"

[11:06 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ready!"

[11:06 PM] DM: You reach the basement and that's where we'll call it for tonight.

## Basement- Session 8

[11:06 PM] DM: You reach the basement, picking up Seirixori and Enna as they exit the tavern. Urrak disappears halfway down the steps to the basement.

[9:22 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine removes Poni out of her bag

[9:22 PM] DM: Poni: "You're quite lucky I can't breathe."

[9:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Are we though."

[9:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'd say you're quite lucky you can't, honestly."

[9:24 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia snorts at both comments.

[9:24 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine sighs "Cyan, this is the mastermind behind this whole catastrophe. Meet Poni:"

[9:24 PM] DM: Poni: "Are you finished with your nonsense and ready to get back to, I don't know... saving the world? Or at least this pointless little village?"

[9:25 PM] DM: Cyan: "He's... everything you said he was."

[9:25 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "And more!"

[9:26 PM] DM: ((Reminder: Poni can self-target components. Using a personal item, you can also target people.))

[9:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Pick a component, and let's go. The less you speak ,the better."

[9:29 PM] DM: Poni: "I've already found one. Push the button to get a peek."

[9:28 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "The people in that village may object to your designation of them as pointless, stick-man. They are living lives there. Building a community. That's not something to balk at."

[9:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Poni please take us to the next destination of the component. We all need to be holding each other in some fashion so we don;t get left behind..." Ravaphine says as she looks shyly over to Cyan

[9:32 PM] DM: Cyan: "So you've said... several times." She winks at Ravaphine, teasing her.

[9:33 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine pushes the button

[9:33 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well, time to get cozy, friends." Brimeia claps her arms around the nearest two ladies

[9:34 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: She reaches her hand out towards Cyan with a hopeful smile on her face "This is where it gets interesting"

[9:35 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna stares down Brimeia. "One of these times I'm going to have a dagger out when you do that, and you're not going to like my reflex."

[9:35 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((but wait is that the hint of a smile on Enna's face oops))

[9:36 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Are you saying you mind it?" Brimeia flashes a grin and a wink.

## Serinar

[9:36 PM] DM: The space above the base of the teleportation object sizzles to life, surrounded by wild magic. Oddly you're not looking at a component at all. Instead, the circle is focused on an odd creature, raven-like in form but with arms and hands instead of wings and the size of a small human. It's walking through a crowded street and you can see the sign of a unicorn in a cauldron over the door it enters.

[9:36 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steps out of range of Brimeia and places a hand lightly on Enna's shoulder, "you only need to touch one of us."

[9:37 PM] DM: Cyan shakes her head and allows Brimeia to grab her as well as taking Ravaphine's outstretched hand.

[9:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Nature check on the creature

[9:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((7))

[9:38 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((26 history check))

[9:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((7))

[9:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((first is nature, second is history))

[9:39 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((11 nature, 3 history))

[9:42 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Poni...why did you show us this place? That is a Kenku. They're cursed and potentially dangerous. I've read that they could be spies or thieves"

[9:43 PM] DM: Poni: "It must have the component on it. There's no other reason for it to be in the portal."

As you watch, the Kenku ducked into a back room and slipped behind a false wall and is now walking down a dark corridor.

[9:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "So, are we going or just...watching?"

[9:44 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Welp," Ravaphine takes a deep breath, "Shall we?"

[9:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Let's go."

[9:44 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: She makes sure everyone is hanging on to each other before putting Poni through the portal

[9:46 PM] DM: The scene around you changes from Poni's basement to an alleyway. There's piles of trash and rather large rodents that scurry out of your way as you appear. You can see people walking by and the usual chatter that comes from such a mass of people.

[9:47 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((what time of day is it))

[9:47 PM] DM: Cyan: "This is very interesting indeed."

[9:47 PM] DM: It's day, but that's all you can tell from where you are.

[9:48 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine puts Poni safely back in her bag. "We need to watch out for that Kenku"

[9:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((perception check -- 7 sigh))

[9:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "At least it's not a veritable graveyard this time."

[9:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((24))

[9:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((17))

[9:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((looking if there is any danger))

[9:49 PM] DM: You seem to be in an alleyway.

[9:50 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine motions for the group to head down the alley(edited)

[9:52 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia trots down the way Ravaphine is pointing

[9:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We need to find that component"

[9:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows Brimea, walking along the alleyway

[9:53 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori follows as well.

[9:53 PM] DM: You head out towards the crowded street and you notice that it's a bustling city with tall buildings (for their era) and winding cobblestone roads. Most people are walking swiftly, often ducking into or out of the buildings.

[9:54 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((do I make an investigation check to search for the building the kenku went in? or track it somehow?))

[9:55 PM] DM: You can make Perception checks to see if you can see the building's sign or the kenku.

[9:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((23))

[9:55 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((nat 20))(edited)

[9:55 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((11))

[9:56 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((yaaaaay 24))

[9:56 PM] DM: Though none of you notice the sign itself, you do notice that the buildings around here are of the same style as the building you saw in the portal.

[9:57 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine approaches one of the passers-by and asks if they have seen a place with the sign in question

[9:57 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Where did that damned thing go..or more importantly, where did we end up?"

[9:59 PM] DM: The first person to stop is a woman, middle-aged. "A unicorn? Only thing I know like that is the next street over." She points in the direction across the street from you and continues on her way.

[9:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I guess we're headed to that direction"

[9:59 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "She was more helpful than Poni."

[9:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((are there any noticeable street signs or building signs in this area?))

[10:00 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((insight check because enna trusts no bitch  -- 12))

[10:00 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((23 for insight as well))

[10:00 PM] DM: There are several painted signs with different symbols on them. In a world where not many common folk can read, signs with symbols are used to explain what the buildings are for. You can see this is a sort of market area. Several signs are showing goods that are likely for sale.

[10:01 PM] DM: The woman seemed like she was in a rush, but she's already gone back into the crowd.

[10:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori starts heading in the direction the woman pointed out.

[10:02 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Samesies

[10:03 PM] DM: You push your way through the crowd and into another busy street.

[10:04 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((what kind of storefronts/signs do we see on this street?))

[10:04 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine scans the area to see if the unicorn sign is anywhere near

[10:04 PM] DM: The signs here are a bit less literal, some are even clearly not what is actually offered, and you do see the sign with the unicorn ahead and down the street.

[10:05 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((gonna do a history check to see if i recognize anything about this place -- 22))

[10:06 PM] DM: You don't recognize anything specifically, it's not a place you've been, but it does have the same kind of big-city energy that you recognize from the time you visited Manavik.(edited)

[10:06 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((what is manavik))

[10:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Theres the unicorn!" Ravaphine points in the direction "But we must be careful"(edited)

[10:10 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine starts to head to the sign

[10:10 PM] DM: You head in that direction and, glancing in the window at the front, you can see that inside are several potions on display.

[10:11 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia pushes towards the building, using her height and size to advantage

[10:11 PM] DM: People walking towards you part at the sight of you, unaccustomed to people who look like you.

[10:12 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Well this is a familiar sight..." Seirixori mutters about the people around them.(edited)

[10:12 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine looks at the potions and sees if she recognizes any of them

[10:13 PM] DM: You go inside?

[10:13 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: I go inside

[10:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori follows.

[10:14 PM] DM: Inside, you do see potions of several different colors and effects. You can recognize a few that look like the potions of healing that you found in the mansion.

[10:14 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows

[10:14 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((are they for sale))

[10:15 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Potions aren't exactly magic, but Brimeia still eyes the rows of them warily as she steps into the store. Wouldn't want to bump into something nasty

[10:15 PM] DM: There's also a man behind the counter, middle aged, balding, and a bit of a belly. "Can I help you ladies?"

[10:16 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Hello, we are just browsing. Say, do you happen to know this town's name?" Ravaphine asks the shopkeep

[10:16 PM] DM: Man: "Do I... know the name of the town I live and work in?"

[10:17 PM] DM: He looks at you oddly.

[10:18 PM] DM: Man: "This is Serinar. Jewel of the West."

[10:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((the lovely nat1))(edited)

[10:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((19))

[10:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((18))

[10:19 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: (11 history))

[10:19 PM] DM: None of you recognize the name.

[10:19 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((what race is the man behind the counter/majority of the type of ppl that are in the city we've seen so far))

[10:19 PM] DM: They are mostly human, but there have been several elves, half-elves, and half-orcs as well.

[10:21 PM] DM: He's human.

[10:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "You seem to be a city of fair many folk, ever get any strange parties through these parts? Your `neighbors seemed perturbed to see us outside."

[10:23 PM] DM: Man: "Depends what you mean by strange. Not common to see red skin and horns on people walking around 'less they're dragonborn. Even then, it's not real common."

[10:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: While Enna is speaking to the man, Ravaphine scans the rest of the room to see if anything is out of place

[10:23 PM] DM: Perception?

[10:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((23))

[10:23 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((10))

[10:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((insight - 4 whomp whomp))

[10:24 PM] DM: You can't really read him.

[10:25 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((7 insight))

[10:26 PM] DM: Man: "Can I help you find something?"

[10:27 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Seen anything odd this way besides us?" Brimeia laughs

[10:28 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((24 insight to see if he hiding anything or seems wary of us being here))

[10:28 PM] DM: He frowns. "What exactly are you trying to get at here? This is a place of business and if you're not here to shop, I'm going to have to ask you all to leave."

[10:29 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "What would you say is your standard fare, here in this shop? I doubt you're raking in the coin with mere mild healing salves."

[10:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine makes eye contact with Brimeia and tilts her head towards the back room ever so slightly

[10:31 PM] DM: He draws himself up, insulted. "I make quite good money, thank you, and I'm good at my craft. I'm going to have to ask you to leave since you think so little of my wares."

[10:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((insight to see if he's lying whomp 5))

[10:32 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steps forward, "Forgive my friends here, they don't like being in unusual places." Seirixori tries to charm him using Charm Person.

[10:33 PM] DM: Seirixori's words come out smooth as butter and the man turns and smiles at her. "It's quite alright. Can I help you with something else?"

[10:33 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia, seeing Ravaphine's look and noting Seirixori's efforts to step in, moves herself to block the storekeeper's line of vision to Ravaphine as best she can

[10:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori moves away from the group, as best she can, "Is there possibly something worth more in the back, that perhaps you aren't showing here in your lovely store-front?"

[10:34 PM] DM: Man: "Oh, no, we don't keep things in the back. Everything I have is out front."

[10:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna looks at Seirixori, a vague sense of distaste on her face on the use of the charm, but relieved the man's hackles are down. She starts moving toward the back, taking advantage of his attention on Seirixori

[10:38 PM] DM: At this point, a woman comes into the shop. A bit ragged and looks like she's been sleeping in the streets for the last couple days. She stops short, stammers out an apology and backs out of the store, leaving the way she came in swiftly.

[10:39 PM] DM: Enna, roll stealth with advantage since Serixori and Brimeia are helping.

[10:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((21))

[10:40 PM] DM: You successfully duck into the back room without him noticing.

[10:40 PM] DM: The back room is empty save for a few crates.

[10:41 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine shares a look and a thumbs up with Cyan to make sure she's doing okay

[10:41 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna surveys the room, trying to see if there's anything behind the crates

[10:41 PM] DM: Cyan returns the gesture.

[10:41 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Actually, maybe you can explain to me what these potions over here are," Seirixori points to the potions by the window, to pull him away from the others.

[10:42 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((8 perception))

[10:42 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine goes outside to ask the lady if she is okay.

[10:43 PM] DM: The man points to one, yellow with an eye floating in it. "This is a potion of clairvoyance."

[10:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((15 investigation)), searching the room thoroughly

[10:44 PM] DM: Man: "It will let you see a place you know from a distance."

[10:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((should i roll a stealth check in here too))

[10:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Hm, interesting. Anything about locating people?"

[10:45 PM] DM: Enna finds the false wall. It's a panel that pops open if you press on it the right way.

[10:47 PM] DM: Man: "Locating people? Hmm.... I don't think I have anything for that currently. You might need a wand or rod for that. Khairi down at the Pixie might have something like that."

[10:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna heads back toward the door to the back room and pokes her head out, motioning to Brimea to come in

[10:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia catches Enna's movement and looks over, though she does her best not to make any sudden or obvious movement herself aside from a subtle nod.

[10:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I will have to try them later then, anything else up here in his window? I'm sorry, I really only know healing potions." Seirixori asks the man.

[10:50 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia tries to catch Seirixori's eye and then tips her head toward Enna, waiting a moment before tiptoeing that way

[10:50 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna whispers to Brimea "Get back here"

[10:50 PM] DM: Man: "Healing we have a lot of. They're my specialty," he adds with a wink.

[10:51 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((14 stealth))(edited)

[10:52 PM] DM: Brimeia ducks back with Enna and sees the empty room.

[10:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "There's a false wall. Here"

[10:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: (she whispers))

[10:53 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia prods the wall curiously. "Think it's the same one?"

[10:55 PM] DM: Cyan steps in and puts her hand on the man's shoulder. "Healing, you say? I can do a bit of healing myself. Why don't you tell me about how you make them?" She winks at Seirixori with a jerk of the head.

[10:55 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Most likely."

[10:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori nods and walks out of his sight, "Oh thank gods," she whispers to herself.

[10:57 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna presses the panel, her off hand fingering her shortsword in anticipation for what lay on the other side of the wall.

[10:57 PM] DM: The man goes into a deep conversation with Cyan about how he prepares his potions.

[10:58 PM] DM: Enna presses open the panel, and you can see a dark tunnel.

[10:59 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sneaks into the tunnel

[11:00 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori tries to quietly make her way back towards the others.

[11:00 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((17))(edited)

[11:01 PM] DM: You also find the back room.

[11:01 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((perception check for the tunnel 24))

[11:02 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((4 perception))

[11:02 PM] DM: It's dark. Dark enough that you can only see the 60' allowed by your darkvision. It appears to be much longer than that, though... but there, at the edge of your hearing, you can hear the click click click of sharp footsteps coming towards you.

[11:04 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna continues down the tunnel, quiet as she can

[11:04 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: (hoping that Brimea doesn't fuck up behind her)

[11:06 PM] DM: There is the glow of a light coming up the tunnel as well.

[11:06 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sees the light coming up the tunnel and backs up, whispering to Brimeia "There's a party headed up our way."

[11:07 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "We should go back, hide behind the crates--make sure we're prepared to ambush if  need"(edited)

[11:08 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori hears all this and steps back into the room with Cyan and the shopkeep.

[11:09 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia nods and heads back up with Enna.

[11:10 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna and Brimeia head back down the tunnel in the direction they came and Enna motions to Brimeia to find a spot behind the crates opposite the room from her

[11:10 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia takes her position, crouched behind a crate, hiding as best she can.

[11:11 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna ducks behind a crate as well

[11:11 PM] DM: You can hear the click click click of a pair of footsteps, like a person wearing stiletto heels on the stonework getting closer.

[11:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "....Fuck. Damn city, damn doors." Enna realizes she should probably close the entrance wall and jumps up to hit the panel again, then retreats to her spot behind the crate(edited)

[11:13 PM] DM: Roll stealth.

[11:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((21))

[11:14 PM] DM: The footsteps stop on the other side of the panel and the door comes open just a bit.

[11:15 PM] DM: The door swings open just enough for the kenku to squeeze through, shutting the door behind it.

[11:15 PM] DM: The two of you in the back room, roll stealth again?

[11:16 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((27))

[11:16 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((13))

[11:17 PM] DM: He turns around and spots Brimeia's tail sticking out of the side of the crates. He draws his rapier and points it in that direction. "I can see you. Come out." His voice is odd, it sounds like three different people speaking a couple words at a time before allowing someone else to speak.

[11:19 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia stands up and shrugs, "Ha, yeah, ya caught me. Was just looking for the facilities and got a bit lost." Brimeia laughs nervously

[11:20 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((13 deception))

[11:21 PM] DM: The kenku looks at you curiously. "There are no facilities here. Why were you here?" Again, his voice sounds like different people, except this time, he says facilities in your voice, exactly the same way you did.

[11:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sneaks up behind the kenku, her shortsword drawn, and attempts to grab and disarm him from behind with her sword against his throat.

[11:23 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((11))

[11:24 PM] DM: The kenku spins around when he hears the crates behind him shift and when he opens his mouth, you hear a siren.

[11:26 PM] DM: Seirixori, you hear the siren in the back and the man in the storefront spins around as well.

[11:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Well, that obviously went so well," Seirixori turns to the back and carefully peeks around to see inside.

[11:31 PM] DM: The kenku sees he's surrounded and disengages, ducking into the main storefront.

[11:31 PM] DM: Seirixori! You can see the kenku, rapier drawn, coming into the store from the back room.(edited)

[11:32 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Is there need for a weapon?" She asks slowly taking out her staff, not sure about her companions on the inside only hearing a siren sound. Seirixori readies Thorn Whip if he moves towards the door.(edited)

[11:35 PM] DM: The man at the front looks a bit alarmed. "Coin? What's happened? Why are you sounding alarm?"

[11:36 PM] DM: Cyan also looks a bit caught off-guard, but draws her rapier, just in case, readying to defend herself.

[11:36 PM] DM: Enna!

[11:37 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna chases after the kenku, entering the main shop room with her shortsword drawn

[11:37 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: She casts Hunter's Mark, preparing for a fight

[11:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna says to the kenku, "Where does that tunnel lead?"

[11:39 PM] DM: Brimeia!

[11:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia follows Enna into the main room and bellows at the birdman, "Where's the magic shard?!"

[11:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: She readies her greataxe in case of an attack.

[11:44 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((8 intimidation)

## Rav in the alley

[10:42 PM] DM: Roll perception?

[10:42 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((24))

[10:43 PM] DM: Ravaphine can see the woman ducking into the alley a couple buildings down.

[10:44 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine follows the woman but laying low

[10:44 PM] DM: If you're trying to sneak that way, roll stealth.

[10:44 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((18 stealth))

[10:46 PM] DM: Ravaphine follows the woman. She's pressed up against a wall, trying to hide behind a bit of brickwork.

[10:47 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine gets closer to the woman

[10:48 PM] DM: The woman is a bit skittish and jolts when she sees you approach. "Please, I don't mean no harm."

[10:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Hello, I don't mean any harm. I just saw you poke into the potions shop and leave. I wanted to ask if you were okay" Ravaphine asks the woman(edited)

[10:50 PM] DM: Woman: "I'm sorry, ok? I didn't mean-- you're... you're not looking for me, are you?"

[10:51 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "No ma'am, I'm just a visitor. My name is Ravaphine," she offers her hand to shake. "are you from around here and people are following you?" she asks(edited)

[10:51 PM] DM: She shakes her head. "Not from here, no, and... I don't think they're looking."

[10:53 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I know this will sound odd...but were you by any chance doing something one minute and suddenly you were transported to a different place?"

[10:53 PM] DM: The woman looks up at you, wide-eyed. "Yes, yes that's exactly what happened. ....what happened?"

[10:55 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I'm going to be completely transparent and say that's exactly what happened to me. I was just traveling when suddenly I turned up into a different town. Have you heard of a place called Bellbury?" Ravaphine questions the woman

[10:56 PM] DM: The woman nods. "That's where I'm from. I came here and then... this... this creature told me I needed to help him, but I couldn't. He took everything I had as "payment" for not helping him."

[10:58 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I'm so sorry to hear that," Ravaphine says sincerely, " I can help you back home to your town, if you could like to accompany my group. You could help us"

[10:59 PM] DM: Woman: "I'm not sure I'd be much help, but if I could get home, that would be great."

[11:00 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What is your name? I'll introduce you to the group. By the way, did you happen to come across anything metallic and shiny?"

[11:00 PM] DM: Woman: "My name's Calley. Calley Gazzo. And I did... I had one, but it was taken by the creature."

[11:03 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "It's nice to meet you Calley. I will get you back home, I promise. Let's go back to the others" ravaphine says, while looking at the woman to make sure she seems trustworthy

[11:03 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((beautiful nat 1 for insight))

[11:03 PM] DM: You think she's totally trustworthy.

[11:03 PM] DM: But she nods and follows you.

[11:04 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine and Calley head back to the shop and peer inside the window to see if any of her companions are still inside, but notices half of them are gone

[11:05 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine looks for another way into the shop

[11:05 PM] DM: Cyan's talking to the shopowner at the front of the building, but everyone else appears to be gone.

[11:06 PM] DM: You don't see another doorway.

[11:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "It looks like my party already is on the move. Did you happen to get a good look at the creature?" ravaphine asks the woman

[11:09 PM] DM: Calley: "It looked like a bird? A human with feathers and a bird's face? Or a really big bird with arms?"

[11:09 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Does he have any magic or other strengths?"

[11:10 PM] DM: Calley: "He talks strangely, but I don't know anything else. He took my things at knife point."

[11:11 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What did he need help with?"

[11:12 PM] DM: Calley: "He wanted to get into a tower. He's trying to find something at the top of it, but we couldn't get past the first room. It didn't have a door."

[11:14 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Did you have any tools to help him? Is that why he took you?"

[11:14 PM] DM: Calley: "No. I don't know why he wanted me to help."

[11:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I see. Let's get you back home then." Ravaphine takes Poni out of her bag to try to teleport back to the basement

[11:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: She reaches for Calley's hand and pushes the button

[11:18 PM] DM: Calley: "Are you going to get my things back?"

[11:18 PM] DM: Ravaphine and Calley appear in Poni's basement.

[11:19 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What are you missing?"

[11:19 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I will try my best to retrieve your items but this man seems dangerous"

[11:19 PM] DM: Calley: "Not much, but he took my coin purse and my locket. It's the only thing I have left from my mother."

[11:20 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I will look for it Calley. Where can I meet you again to deliver if I can find them?"

[11:21 PM] DM: Calley: "I... don't know. Where should I wait?"

[11:22 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "The tavern. We will be back okay? I promise. Is there anything I should keep in mind when approaching the bird dude?"(edited)

[11:22 PM] DM: Calley: "Which one?"

[11:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "The tavern in town square"

[11:23 PM] DM: Calley: "Ok. I'll wait there."

[11:23 PM] DM: Calley: "I don't know, other than he was really strange and he seemed good with his knives."

[11:24 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "May we meet again. Poni, please take me to the others looking for the component" ravaphine pushes the button

[11:25 PM] DM: The portal appears. It shows a dark room with a wall of safes across the wall.

[11:25 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Is this where the others are, poni?"

[11:30 PM] DM: Poni: "That is where the component is. Those imbeciles you call 'friends' are somewhere nearby."

[11:27 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine walks through the portal

[11:30 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine shoves poni in her bag again

[11:34 PM] DM: When you put Poni through the portal, you appear on a crowded road again. Luckily, it's familiar and you think you can find your way back to the potion shop.

## Back to the shop

[11:44 PM] DM: Ravaphine! Makes her way 6 seconds closer to the shop.

[11:46 PM] DM: The kenku looks around and sees it's surrounded. "You can't have it. It's mine. It's safe. You can't have it." The voices for the "you can't have it" are the same, but again, it sounds like it's using someone else's words, discordant and with odd inflection.

[11:46 PM] DM: Seirixori

[11:47 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Tell us where it is and how to get to it and we'll let you go." She tries to intimidate him to give up the info.

[11:48 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((25))

[11:49 PM] DM: Kenku: "You can't get it. It's safe. Only I can. You help, you get (magic shard?!) in pay." The phrase 'magic shard' is shouted as Brimeia had.

[11:50 PM] DM: The man steps forward. "Coin, these are friends. Are you in trouble?"

[11:50 PM] DM: Cyan holds back.

[11:50 PM] DM: Enna?

[11:51 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna says to the Kenku, "It's safe. Safe from what?"

[11:52 PM] DM: Kenku: "Safe from you. From thieves. From anything. It's mine now."

[11:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "You said help. Help with what?"

[11:54 PM] DM: Kenku: "Calley said she'd help to pay me. She didn't help. I took MAGIC SHARD?! for pay. You help, you have MAGIC SHARD?! instead."

[11:54 PM] DM: (Calley is said in a woman's voice.)

[11:55 PM] DM: Ravaphine appears at the doorway.

[11:55 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Who is Calley?"

[11:56 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Calley is the woman who he harassed and kidnapped. He took all her belongings"

[11:57 PM] DM: Kenku: "Calley said she could help but needed money."

[11:58 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What do you want from us?"

[11:58 PM] DM: The man steps forward with his arms up. "Please, everyone put your weapons away. We are all friends here."

[11:58 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna turns to the shopkeep "What is he talking about? What are you hiding down that tunnel?"

[11:59 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "We just want the broken magic thing. Let us have it and we'll be on our way."

[11:59 PM] DM: He looks away for a moment, conflicted, but says, "It's an entry to the Darkroses."

July 7, 2017

[12:00 AM] DM: Anyone who likes can roll history.

[12:00 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((21))

[12:00 AM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((14))

[12:00 AM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((18))

[12:00 AM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((15))

[12:00 AM] DM: Kenku: "You can't have it! Only for pay. Help me get what I want and you can have it in trade."

[12:01 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "And what do you want?"

[12:02 AM] DM: Kenku: "It is a little thing, but locked away. Only valuable to me. Master Bakar died. He had it."

[12:03 AM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I don't see why we can't try. Any objections?"

[12:03 AM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "It must be locked away for a reason. Maybe to keep it away from you"

[12:04 AM] DM: Shopkeep: "Master Bakar was his... friend, I guess you could call it. He had an accident. Blew out half his tower."

Kenku: "Yes, yes. He had my ring. I want it back, but tower is locked."

[12:07 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((4 insight))

[12:07 AM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((17 insight to see if they lying))

[12:07 AM] DM: The voices he uses are so odd it's really messing with your ability to read him, Enna.

[12:10 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna points her sword at the kenku. "Show us where we need to go then, bird-man. And keep that rapier down."(edited)

## Session 9

[7:55 PM] DM: DAY 3 NOON BELLBURY TIME

When last we left, the party was in the city of Serinar in a potions shop with a charmed shopkeeper and a strange bird-like creature named Coin. Coin, held at the end of Enna's shortsword, told the party that he would give them the MAGIC SHARD?! if they would help retrieve an item from the top of a tower.(edited)

[8:18 PM] DM: Ravaphine and Cyan both suddenly blink out of sight, Poni's control rod falling to the floor where Ravaphine had been standing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*[*7:42 PM*]* DM*:* DAY 3 NOON BELLBURY TIME

Urrak has had an hour and a half to herself back in Chaldra when she's once more back in Bellbury's town square. It's a bit quieter this time. No music from the Cask at this point. It's about noon, but there seem to be fewer people about than there have been.

*[*8:15 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak wanders down into the kitchen and grabs a bite of meat. She remembers being in the basement ready to teleport to the next component before she was poofed away. After taking in her surroundings, an odd sense of dread falls over her. But, being a woman on a mission, she decides to head back to Poni's and find the others.

*[*8:16 PM*]* DM*:* There were still some patrons in the tavern and a man in the kitchen watching the food, but it just seems like less than there were the day before.

*[*8:17 PM*]* DM*:* When you reach the basement, the portal is alive with wild energy and in the 'screen' you can see Enna with a rapier pointed at a weird bird-like creature about 5 feet tall. Brimeia, Seirixori, and a man are standing there as well, all in conversation.

*[*8:19 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "What in the world..." Urrak mutters to herself. She looks at the screen a moment, her mind trying to work out what it's seeing, before drawing her sword and heading into the portal

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[8:20 PM] DM: Urrak suddenly appears as if stepping out of thin air, sword drawn.

[8:23 PM] DM: Coin and the shopkeep both jump back, surprised.

[8:23 PM] DM: Coin, feeling the tip of Enna's sword in his back steps forward again immediately.

[8:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna looks at Urrak appearing out of thin air, and says "Perfect timing. Nice of you to join us."

[8:22 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "What in the nine hells is goin' on 'ere?"

[8:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori picks up Poni, "We're possibly going to help this guy here so he'll give us the component."(edited)

[8:28 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "And what's he expectin' in return?" Urrak asks as she re-sheaths her greatsword.

[8:29 PM] DM: Coin: "I give you the MAGIC SHARD!?" When he says 'magic shard,' it's said in Brimeia's voice in a demanding tone.

[8:29 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "We have to help him...get into a tower? Is that right?"

[8:30 PM] DM: Coin: "Yes. Master Bakar's tower."

[8:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Let's go."

[8:31 PM] DM: His voice is a combination of other people's voices in odd intonations.

[8:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "This is some questionable stuff, but I've seen jus about everythin' at this point." Urrak sighs and turns towards Enna "Where to?"

[8:33 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Our feathered friend here was just about to lead the way."

[8:34 PM] DM: Shopkeep: "I think we can all put our weapons away now, yes? It's making me nervous. A lot of breakables in here."

[8:36 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Well soon we'll be away from the breakables, won't we?"

[8:37 PM] DM: Coin: "No weapons on streets. Guards come."

[8:37 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori puts her staff down, "Yes, let's not draw anymore unwanted attention."

[8:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Agreed. Enna I know y' don't trust 'em as far as ye can throw 'em, but let's do as he asks for now"

[8:39 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "How far is this tower?"

[8:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna lowers her sword. "As long as we all keep our guards up."

[8:42 PM] DM: Shopkeep: "It's a few blocks away. You can't miss it."

[8:43 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Let's get on with it then."

[8:45 PM] DM: Coin sheathes his rapier. "Come, come. Will be quick if you smart."

[8:46 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Lead on." Seirixori moves to follows Coin.

[8:46 PM] DM: Coin steps out of the shop and into the busy street, but immediately ducks into the nearby alleyway.

[8:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows behind

[8:48 PM] DM: He's standing there waiting.

[8:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia also follows

[8:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Oi, y'flighty bird wait up", Urrak lumbers into to alley after everyone(edited)

[8:49 PM] DM: As you all follow, Coin leads you on a winding path across town utilizing back alleys and tunnels where possible. You get the feeling he probably tends to stay out of sight as much as possible.

[8:50 PM] DM: Coin: "I am not a 'y'flighty bird'. I am a kenku. Cannot fly." He, again, says y'flighty bird in Urrak's own voice.

[8:51 PM] DM: Coin: "Must get ring. Then (he makes the sound of coins being stacked in a pile) can fly."

[8:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak is creeped the fuck out by the kenku

[8:52 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I...see..."

[8:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Welcome to the perturbed club."

[8:54 PM] DM: After several minutes, you find yourself standing in a part of town that's a bit less dense. The buildings are farther apart and there are much fewer people.

[8:55 PM] DM: Coin lifts a hand and points at a tower, a terribly unstable looking tower with part of the side blown out of it. People walking by seem to be giving it a wide berth like they're afraid it might collapse at any moment.

[8:55 PM] DM: Coin walks right up to it and opens the door.

[8:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Yer goin' in there? It looks fit to fall apart at any minute!"

[8:57 PM] DM: Coin: "Hard to find ring after."

[8:57 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak begrudgingly follows Coin(edited)

[8:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "After what?"

[8:58 PM] DM: Coin makes the sound of rubble falling.

[8:58 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows after, looking up at the precarious building

[9:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Great, into a crumbling building. Fun." Seirixori deadpans and follows.

## Master Bakar's Tower

[9:01 PM] DM: Approaching the tower, you can see that the tower stands crooked and heavily damaged. There's evidence of cracks in the stonework as though the shifting tilt of the tower is causing extra stress on several of the stones. You can see why people tend to stay away. It does look like an incredibly unstable structure. There is a door along the southern curve that Coin has opened.

[9:03 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Uh, well why did the tower fall apart?" Brimeia asks, wondering if some kind of magical catastrophe had happened here like it had back in Bellbury.

[9:04 PM] DM: Coin: "Master Bakar was working. Then (he makes a sound of explosions and fizzing pops like a firecracker store caught on fire)."

[9:05 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sounds like our friend, the stick"

[9:05 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ugh, magic," Brimeia grumbles under her breath.

[9:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, even better, more idiots with magic."

[9:05 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Wizards with explosives. Wonderful."

[9:09 PM] DM: Opening the door, you see a small room, completely enclosed. The walls are un-plastered stone like the exterior. There's a rune carved into the stone directly ahead, the edges worn like they've been touched many times over the years.

[9:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Well hopefully that doesn't happen again, least while we're in 'ere." Urrak looks around a bit "So, where's this ring yer huntin' for?"

[9:10 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((15 investigation?))

[9:10 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "So uh... what was Master Bakar trying to do exactly?" Brimeia looks less and less sure about this whole thing the more she hears.

[9:10 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((arcana - 16))

[9:11 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'm with the barbarian. What was your Master working on?" Enna says, the disdain in her voice clear with no real intention on masking it.

[9:12 PM] DM: Perception rolls please!

[9:13 PM] DM: Coin: "He makes things."

[9:13 PM] DM: Coin: "Made."

[9:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((6))

[9:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ".....What kind of things."

[9:13 PM] DM: You don't recognize the rune.

[9:13 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Do you .. know what he was trying to make that time?"

[9:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((nat 1 fun yes!!- 7))

[9:15 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((6))

[9:16 PM] DM: Coin opens his mouth and you hear a man's voice, this time one single voice. "You go ahead and get the supplies. I'll be working on the new evocation spell. I think maybe 'Dragon's Wrath' for a name."

## Nolanos in the town square

*[*9:01 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos finds himself going about his day as normal when he's suddenly standing in the center of a town square he doesn't recognize. There are some larger buildings, one that looks like a tavern and another that looks like a temple, but the square is empty... all except for a dwarf woman in chainmail with red hair staring at you.

*[*9:02 PM*]* Nolanos*:* "um... hello? where.. where am i exactly?

*[*9:03 PM*]* DM*:* "Ah, a new one, I see. As far as we can tell, we're in Bellbury. It's all a great long story, but we've got good people trying to fix the problem. My name's Gunnloda, at your service." She holds her hand out to you.(edited)

*[*9:06 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* its a pleasure to meet you *shakes hand*

*[*9:07 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Would you like a drink? Or I can try to explain things."

*[*9:07 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Both? Both is good

*[*9:08 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda laughs heartily. "Excellent choice."

*[*9:08 PM*]* DM*:* She puts a hand on your shoulder and leads you towards the tavern where she pulls a mug of ale for you.

*[*9:09 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* " Cheers" raises mug. *"*And thank you for this generosity"

*[*9:10 PM*]* DM*:* "Come. I'll show you the culprit." She leads you back out and south. Eventually you come across a smallish house that's burned to a husk. She leads you downstairs to the basement where a magical portal stands.

*[*9:11 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* God, what happened here?

*[*9:11 PM*]* DM*:* Looking through the portal, you can see two tieflings, an elf, a half-orc, and a strange bird-like creature standing outside of a tower.

*[*9:12 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "This gnome named Poni was playing with arcane magic and building this contraption. Something bad happened and ZAP! We were all ripped away from our lives. These people are trying to fix it. If we walk through, we can join them, but it's not without danger. You look like you can handle yourself, though."

*[*9:14 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Danger? Danger is my middle name" Nolanos tries seem smooth but it ends up being really awkward and he knows it. "... heh."

*[*9:15 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Clears throat. "No but seriously I'm on it"

*[*9:17 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda shakes her head. "If you say so. I think I'll join you though. These folks tend to get in more trouble than they should."

*[*9:17 PM*]* DM*:* She steps through the portal and you can see her inside the picture now.

*[*9:17 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Alrighty then." Steps forward.

*[*9:18 PM*]* DM*:* The scene around you changes!

## Serinar

[9:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda shows up outside.

[9:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((15))

[9:18 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos follows shortly behind.

[9:18 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Um hi."

[9:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't like the sound of that."

[9:18 PM] DM: Go ahead and describe yourself, Nolanos.

[9:18 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Good morning everyone. I brought someone new along. I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name."

[9:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Gunnloda!" Seirixori blurts out, glad to see her.

[9:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Hello, dear."

[9:21 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I think it's safe to say we know then what was the culprit of the ----great, another one."

[9:24 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia is a bit startled by the sudden appearance of two figures and begins to reach for her greataxe but relaxes when she sees the familiar face of Gunnloda along with an unfamiliar one. "Ah! A new companion!"

[9:21 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Hi everyone, my name is Nolanos, and this here" gestures to the clockwork raven on his right shoulder "is Reyes. I tink tinkering is fun." He immediately realizes that was a horrible joke but goes with it anyway

[9:22 PM] Alex - Nolanos: another what?

[9:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna unsheaths her shortsword once again, approaching Nolanos and pointing it at the raven. "What is that? Who are you?"

[9:22 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I - I just told you."

[9:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: It's apparent she's acting on instinct

[9:22 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ?

[9:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sneers, eyeing the dragonborn with fire in her eyes "It's an abomination."

[9:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Enna, please, we're trying to avoid fighting right now."

Gunnloda: "Now dear... there's no need to be drawing your weapon on a new friend."

[9:26 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I wouldn't consider anyone who plays at being a god anything akin to a friend."

[9:26 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "It's a great thing I don't consider myself one then."

[9:27 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "A friend?"

[9:27 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "A god"

[9:21 PM] DM: Coin: "This rune is teleportation. Activated by Master Bakar's voice, but it doesn't work since he died."

[9:22 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Y' don't remember what the man sounded like?"

[9:22 PM] DM: Coin opens his mouth and you hear Master Bakar repeat an incantation. "He died. Magic stopped working."

[9:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks to the left hand wall, greeting Gunnloda as she passes. She places a hand on a odd bit of mortar

[9:23 PM] DM: You can feel the stone shift under your fingers like if you gave it a good push, it would move.

[9:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Magic is dangerous business. Half o' those who use it, shouldn't" Urrak pushes the stone

[9:25 PM] DM: The stone swings open! It's a secret door, possibly put there as a failsafe in case Master Bakar ever locked himself out.

[9:26 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak is so fascinated by the door she almost doesn't hear what's happening with the newcomer. "Oi, you lot, look 'ere!"

[9:27 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Th - there's a door now?"

[9:27 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Then what, pray tell, do you consider yourself, making things that weren't meant to be?"

[9:28 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I've known the works of your type, and nothing good ever comes of it."

[9:28 PM] DM: You are all standing outside the tower (the entry's not big enough for everyone). Urrak's inside poking at walls.

[9:28 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Look," Seirixori steps in front of Enna, "let's deal with one thing at a time. Urrak found a door, the faster we get this tower done, the faster you can yell at the new guy more."

[9:28 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Some kind of secret room, odd metal strips along the walls"

[9:29 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Two doors...seems interesting enough t' check out"

[9:29 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I am a student of science."

[9:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna balks at Seirixori stepping between her and the newcomer, hackles raised.

[9:32 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Enough about me though, I really think we should focus on the task ahead, lest we get killed"

[9:32 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((Alex, what is your character wearing btw))

[9:32 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((is there anything covering his arms))

[9:33 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((yes))

[9:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm sorry... I didn't realize bringing you through would cause such an ordeal."

[9:35 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "It's nothing I haven't experienced before to be honest"

[9:35 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Reluctantly, Enna lowers her sword. Staring straight through Seirixori at Nolanos, she says "Fine. As soon as I make sure of something."  She says to Nolanos, "Show me your arms."

[9:35 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I appreciate the sentiment though"

[9:36 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I'm not sure what that will prove, but fine"  Shows arms

[9:37 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Without the armor. Please."

[9:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: sighs and removes the armor

[9:38 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Do you always ask new people to strip?"

[9:38 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I don't recall being subjected to it myself."

[9:39 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Yeah, what is all this about anyway?"

[9:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna ignores the comment by the dwarf, staring intently at the dragonborn's arms. She sheathes her sword, content and relieved, if only a little. She turns toward the door that Urrak opened and heads over. "I'm good for now. Just keep that thing contained."

[9:40 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "i - Okay?" quickly puts armor back on

[9:40 PM] DM: Peeking through the now open secret door, you see a room, rounded wall along the left side and straight walls to the right. There are two visible wooden doors. The floor here is flagstone and the walls plastered, but there are regularly spaced metal strips along the walls.

[9:41 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori awkwardly pats Nolanos' shoulder and moves into the room.(edited)

[9:41 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Are ye done havin' yer spat? Come on elf, not all life is tryin' t' kill ye. Few of us 'ere would kill for ye." Urrak walks into the room after Ser

[9:42 PM] DM: Seirixori, Perception check?

[9:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((23))

[9:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well, I for one welcome a helping hand," Brimeia chirps heading in with the others

[9:43 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Hm..." Seirixori walks towards the stone she notices slightly more noticeable than the rest.

[9:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "You'll thank me someday for my precaution." Enna follows into the room.

[9:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "There's a raised stone here."

[9:45 PM] DM: Urrak enters the second room? Perception check, please!

[9:45 PM] DM: And anyone standing inside one room or the other.

[9:45 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((nat 1))

[9:45 PM] DM: You're in a room!

[9:46 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((17))

[9:47 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((16))

[9:47 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak turns to Seirixori "A raised stone? Can ye move it?"

[9:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((12))

[9:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Urrak wait, something clicked when you stood on the stone."

[9:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak looks down at her feet, raising her hands a bit in a cautious stance "Clicked...? Alright, looks like a puzzle. Should I stay here?"

[9:51 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I wouldn't move far if I were you, this place could be booby trapped to hell"

[9:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((20))

## Martyn

*[*9:49 PM*]* DM*:* Martyn appears in the town square!

*[*9:53 PM*]* Jonathan- Martyn Hornback*:* Martyn looks about, briefly disoriented. He'd been poofed into the square. he didn't notice anyone, but decided to head to Poni's basement in search of the others.

*[*9:54 PM*]* DM*:* In the basement, you can see the portal is active and you can see several of the people you've met before standing around the entry of a tower.

*[*9:55 PM*]* Jonathan- Martyn Hornback*:* Martyn advances forward, and steps through it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[9:55 PM] DM: Martyn appears behind you outside the tower.(edited)

[9:55 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Helllo then! What goes on here?" Martyn says

[9:55 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Hey, Seirixori. There's some wires...or pipes? Behind the door there, could ye check them out? I don't want to move lest I set somethin' off"

[9:56 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Sure..." Seirixori says uneasily, but does as she's asked.(edited)

[9:56 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I'm not the new guy anymore!"

[9:57 PM] DM: Seirixori, you see something behind the open secret door, but you can't reach it because you'd have to shut the door... and Urrak's in the way.

[9:57 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Sorry, what's going on and why does Urrak look nervous?" Martyn asks

[9:58 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Urrak stepped on a thing and I can't check out what it is because Urrak is now in the way of the door I need to look behind. We're doing great."

[9:59 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Does the raven speak? Can the raven look? Also who is the raven? or the person the raven stands upon?"

[10:00 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Yes actually"

[10:00 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((back))

[10:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I son't know if this tile is set t' blow or not, but Seirixori, move around me and try and get out. I'm gonna move, and I don't want ye t' be injured"(edited)

[10:03 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos nudges Reyes a bit and she flies into the room with the doors

[10:04 PM] DM: And you're using Reyes's senses?

[10:04 PM] Alex - Nolanos: yes

[10:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori nods and tries to move around Urrak and leave the room.

[10:05 PM] DM: You all watch as a mechanical raven takes flight and flies over all your heads into the room. Nolanos, you can see there's a box behind the door with tubes for pipes or wires sticking into it. You recognize it as a sort of control box.

[10:06 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "A bloody tin bird....?" Urrak watches Reyes fly into the room, mindful to stay in place

[10:07 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Is there anything we can do to help?"

[10:07 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna backs up out of the room for to make room for Seirixori

[10:08 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Urrak, I can try and pull you out, unless you have other ideas?"

[10:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, I'm gonna jump as far as these legs'll carry me right out the door"(edited)

[10:09 PM] DM: Coin backs out of the room.

[10:10 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Should we move? We should move, huh?" Brimeia backs up, away from all the presumably magical nonsense that might be triggered

[10:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori now moves out of the room once everyone is out of the way.(edited)

[10:11 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: Martyn shifts as well, putting the whole party between him and Urrak

[10:11 PM] DM: Is Reyes staying in the room?

[10:12 PM] Alex - Nolanos: No Reyes is coming back

[10:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak takes a few deep breaths, sets her eyes on the open door and sprints out of the room

[10:14 PM] DM: Perception check, Urrak?

[10:14 PM] DM: Nothing happens.

[10:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: (20)

[10:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak is sweating furiously(edited)

[10:15 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I...I heard two more clicks"

[10:15 PM] DM: click

[10:15 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Um."

[10:15 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "One when I stepped off, and one after..."

[10:15 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Ohh no."

[10:15 PM] DM: click

[10:15 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Close the door!"

[10:16 PM] DM: Coin: "What happened?"

[10:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak bellows for everyone to get out of the tower "Clicking in floor, possible explosion, not good, RUN!"

[10:16 PM] DM: click

[10:17 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Tries to identify the source of the ticking

[10:17 PM] DM: It's coming from the second room.

[10:17 PM] DM: click

[10:19 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Reyes, lets go" Reyes flies into room 2 again trying to find anything else worth noting

[10:19 PM] DM: click

[10:20 PM] DM: You don't notice anything different about the room except the clicking.

[10:22 PM] DM: The ticking is coming from the control box. You don't notice anything else.

[10:22 PM] DM: click

[10:24 PM] Alex - Nolanos: I carefully move into the room, trying not to step on more moving tiles

[10:25 PM] DM: click

[10:25 PM] DM: whine

[10:25 PM] DM: Nolanos and Reyes, roll a Dex save.

[10:27 PM] DM: ((Dex save- 16, 16)) is how you'd show that here.(edited)

[10:27 PM] DM: Nolanos dives back into the first room as a bolt of lightning shoots through the room, bouncing between the different metal strips.

[10:28 PM] DM: You both take 1 point of lightning damage.

[10:28 PM] DM: click

[10:29 PM] DM: Nolanos actually takes no damage from the shock.

[10:29 PM] DM: Reyes takes one point.

[10:31 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos carefully goes back in and tries to disarm the thing. (Does it still need disarming?)

[10:31 PM] DM: So you go back in and shut the door to access it?

click

[10:34 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "What is that fool lizard on about..." Urrak watches Nolanos go back into the secret room in wonder

[10:34 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "....So is this thing blowing up or not."

[10:34 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Not yet I suppose..."

[10:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "OK. SO. There's a control box in there that I'm pretty sure,if I can disarm it, we can pass through safely."

[10:37 PM] DM: click

[10:37 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Go on then."

[10:38 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Yer clothes are singed...what happened in there?"

[10:38 PM] DM: click

[10:38 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nol uses the thieves tools to do the thing(edited)

[10:39 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((16))

[10:39 PM] DM: Nolanos disappears back into the room and you all see the door close.

[10:42 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Did... did i do it?"(edited)

[10:42 PM] DM: The door opens and you see Nolanos on the other side.

[10:43 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "LIGHTNING AMIRITE?"

[10:43 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos grins excitedly

[10:44 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "The traps been disarmed, let's go"

[10:45 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak claps Nolanos on the back "Ye mad devil! Good work!"

[10:45 PM] DM: Reyes is perched on Nolanos's shoulder again.

[10:45 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Right." Seirixori walks by Nolan, and into the room that had the clicks.

[10:46 PM] DM: You see two doors along the walls.

*[*10:46 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos boops Reyes on the beak with the tip of his finger, kind of like their own version of a high 5

*[*10:46 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna follows the party, keeping a wide berth between her and Nolanos

*[*10:46 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak walks back into the trap room behind Enna

*[*10:47 PM*]* DM*:* Coin and Gunnloda will pull up the rear.

*[*10:47 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Nolanos, dear, are you ok? That looked a bit... dangerous."(edited)

*[*10:48 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori looks at the two doors, wondering if more trap-like things are nearby. "Anyone good at looking for traps?"

*[*10:48 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Chuckles warmly "I'm quite alright. That was actually the most excitement I've had in a while"

*[*10:49 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos and Martyn both have thieves tools.

*[*10:49 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* "See? Knew our new friend would be a credit to this motley band!"

*[*10:49 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* " I can look for more traps?(edited)

*[*10:49 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* "Is there uh.. any more of those?"

*[*10:49 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Well, it's only been three days and we've run into plenty, so stick around I guess? IF this asshole lets you." Seirixori motions to her bag where she shoved poni.(edited)

*[*10:50 PM*]* DM*:* ((So, Nolanos, how you do the thing is you can roll investigation checks to look for traps on doors or floors or chests or whatever.))

*[*10:52 PM*]* DM*:* ((You just have to say what you're looking for where.))

*[*10:52 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((12 or 22?))

*[*10:52 PM*]* DM*:* the first one

*[*10:52 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* looking for traps

*[*10:53 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* on floors doors and walls

*[*10:53 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* also looking for a way to open the doors

*[*10:53 PM*]* DM*:* Which door?

*[*10:53 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* theres more than 1?

*[*10:53 PM*]* DM*:* There are two- the black marks on the map.

*[*10:54 PM*]* DM*:* You don't see any traps. The door is a normal looking wooden door.

*[*10:54 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* I check the other door for the same things

*[*10:54 PM*]* DM*:* Another investigation check, if you please.

*[*10:55 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((15))

*[*10:55 PM*]* DM*:* You see no traps.

*[*10:55 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* I cautiously open the door

*[*10:56 PM*]* DM*:* Which?

*[*10:56 PM*]* DM*:* Ok!

*[*10:56 PM*]* DM*:* When you open the door to this room, you can see a tall ceiling, maybe thirty or forty feet high, and a long staircase going around the edge of the wall. There are long cracks in the plaster of the exterior wall, some pieces entirely broken away and crumbled to dust at the floor. Tucked into a corner of the room, almost beneath the stairs is a suit of armor, covered in dust and some bits of the plaster that had cracked above.

*[*10:57 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* I investigate the suit of armor, making sure not to trigger any traps along the way

*[*10:57 PM*]* DM*:* How are you investigating it?

*[*10:59 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* visually at first

*[*10:59 PM*]* DM*:* Investigation check?(edited)

*[*11:00 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((22)

*[*11:00 PM*]* DM*:* It looks like a suit of armor!

*[*11:00 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* is there anything else in the room that stands out

*[*11:00 PM*]* DM*:* Just what's in the description.

*[*11:01 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* I leave and go into the other room

*[*11:01 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* also carefully

*[*11:01 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* and looking before i walk in

*[*11:01 PM*]* DM*:* Opening this door, you see shelves and crates along the walls. On the far wall, you can see another teleportation sigil.

*[*11:02 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori, impatient of all the things, moves into the first room Nolanos entered and looks around.

*[*11:03 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak looks on, watching Nolanos and Seirixori "Have y' found any more traps?"

*[*11:03 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "there seems to be a transportation sigil in here"

*[*11:04 PM*]* Kyris - Brimeia*:* "Ugh. More teleporting magic?" Brimeia grumbles.

*[*11:04 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna follows Nolanos and Seirixori into the next room, stepping carefully.

*[*11:04 PM*]* Jonathan- Martyn Hornback*:* martyn steps past the rest of the group to peer into the room where Nolanos had gone. "You all right in there?"

*[*11:04 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos walks in, looking for traps/ anything of note on the way to investigate the sigil

*[*11:04 PM*]* DM*:* Coin: "Yes, we used them to move around."

*[*11:05 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Can we use them t' get t' where this ring is?"

*[*11:05 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos, the room seems to be full of normal goods. Dried foods, parchment, cloth, etc.

*[*11:06 PM*]* DM*:* Coin: "They don't work. He died."

*[*11:06 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "The sigils are attached in some way to your friend?"

*[*11:06 PM*]* DM*:* Coin: "His magic."

*[*11:06 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "There's some stairs, let's just try that." Seirixori slowly makes her way up, trying to keep an out for more traps.

*[*11:07 PM*]* DM*:* Perception!

*[*11:07 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((10))(edited)

*[*11:07 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* ((8))

*[*11:07 PM*]* DM*:* You don't see anything suspicious.

*[*11:07 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna follows Seirixori up the stairs

*[*11:07 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* ((16))

*[*11:08 PM*]* DM*:* At the top of the stairs, there is another wooden door.

*[*11:08 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Return to the first room and follow up the stairs(edited)

*[*11:08 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori opens the door slowly peeking in.

*[*11:09 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna follows Seirixori, keeping an eye out for anything unstable or traps

*[*11:09 PM*]* DM*:* Opening this door, you enter a sort of triangular shaped room with a narrow hall that leads to another triangular room on the other side. In the other room, you can see two creatures, purplish with spines along the back and one giant green eye. It has clawed hands and feet and a hunched-over posture. They look at you, back at each other, and continue to tug at the item they both hold in their hands.

*[*11:10 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Can I see/ identifythem?

*[*11:10 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak follows the others

*[*11:10 PM*]* Jonathan- Martyn Hornback*:* Martyn follows behind Urrak

*[*11:10 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna whispers to Seirixori, "What do you see?"

*[*11:11 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "riiight," Seirixori steps back, "So, gross purple creature things, ignoring me for now, uh," She turns back to the group behind, "suggestions?"

*[*11:12 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "I'll take a look." Enna peers behind Seirixori, trying to see into the room.

*[*11:12 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Anyone know what these things are?"

*[*11:13 PM*]* DM*:* Seirixori and Enna can roll Arcana

*[*11:13 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Purple creatures? Strange..."

*[*11:13 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* ((9))

*[*11:14 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* ((7))

*[*11:14 PM*]* DM*:* Neither of you recognize them.

*[*11:15 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Can I take a look?"

*[*11:16 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "You should probably be in front to be fair," Seirixori mutters, trying not to show her slight jealousy, "have at it." She moves out of the way to let Nolanos move in.

*[*11:17 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna moves back from the door. "Have a grand time."

*[*11:17 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Sorry, I don't mean to step on your toes... I'll just.. yeah." Awkwardly steps forward

*[*11:18 PM*]* DM*:* You can see the stuff. You can roll arcana to see if you recognize it.

*[*11:18 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((13))

*[*11:19 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Specifically, i try to see what they're tugging at

*[*11:19 PM*]* DM*:* Perception check for that.

*[*11:21 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* whispering, i tell everyone "These are nothics! They're known to infiltrate arcane academies and libraries and other places of learning"

*[*11:21 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((14))

*[*11:21 PM*]* DM*:* It looks like a scroll of some kind.

*[*11:24 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "They're fighting over a scroll. Ideas anyone?"(edited)

*[*11:24 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "Killing usually does the job, I find."

*[*11:25 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Can y' sneak up on 'em?"

*[*11:25 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "I'm inclined to agree with the killing"(edited)

*[*11:25 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "I'll go ahead."(edited)

*[*11:25 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "and the sneaking now that you mention it"

*[*11:26 PM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna pulls her bow around from across her back and begins to move forward. "Any of you with armor feel like providing some backup?"

*[*11:26 PM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* "Can someone shoot one while I sneak up on the other?"

## Roll initiative! (Nothics)

*[*11:32 PM*]* DM*:* When you enter the room, the nothics look at you and say something none of you recognize as words. One takes the opportunity to try to grab the scroll from the other, but the other grabs tighter and they start fighting again.

*[*11:33 PM*]* DM*:* Nolanos, roll a Constitution save.

*[*11:33 PM*]* DM*:* Enna, roll a Constitution save.

[11:34 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((5))

[11:34 PM] DM: As you travel through that narrow hallway, you both suddenly feel sick and are poisoned. Until further notice, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

[11:35 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "FUCK"

[11:35 PM] DM: As you close in, the nothics turn towards you both and say something again in that language.

[11:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: I draw my  rapier and forget the sneak attack(edited)

[11:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna feels woozy and shakes her head to try to regain focus. She draws her bow, readying to attack.

[11:50 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Bless you and your beautiful face"

[11:51 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "If you say so, dragonborn." Then she turns to the nothics closest to her and flings a small flame at it.(edited)

[11:52 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((18a - 3 dmg))

[11:52 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "UMM<"\

[11:52 PM] DM: The flame shoots forward and singes the nothic.

*[*12:38 AM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* Enna leans against the wall, winded.

*[*12:40 AM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "What does the scroll say?"

*[*12:40 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori paws at the bodies and then sits next to Gunnloda. Seirixori does a small roar at Brimeia because guess who can't talk.

*[*12:40 AM*]* DM*:* The rest of you find several books about magic.

*[*12:40 AM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos stows the scroll away to inspect later and searches around the room for other cool things

*[*12:41 AM*]* DM*:* If you have access to the spells on the scrolls, you can read them. Otherwise, you just know it's a magic scroll.

*[*12:41 AM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* Urrak hands the scrolls to Seirixori

*[*12:41 AM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* ((can we tell what language the scrolls are written in?))

*[*12:41 AM*]* DM*:* And you should not ever try to read a scroll out loud if you don't know what it is. lol

*[*12:41 AM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "You'll make better use of these than I...Oh wait"(edited)

*[*12:42 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori grabs it in her mouth and then nudges Gunnloda to hopefully convey to take it from her.

*[*12:42 AM*]* DM*:* She opens them... "I don't recognize these."

*[*12:43 AM*]* Leigh- Enna Meliamne*:* "So why were these things so invested in these scrolls?"

*[*12:43 AM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* Nolanos walks up to Seirixori and asks "permission to pet?"(edited)

*[*12:43 AM*]* Alex - Nolanos*:* ((5 arcana))

*[*12:43 AM*]* Jonathan- Martyn Hornback*:* ((6))

*[*12:44 AM*]* DM*:* None of you know anything else about nothics.

*[*12:44 AM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori purrs at Gunnloda and pokes her bag trying to motion to put the scrolls there. She sniffs at Nolanos and waits but then nods.

## Session 10

[2:19 PM] DM: DAY 3, 1:40 PM BELLBURY TIME

You're currently in the dilapidated wizard's tower with the kenku Coin who has asked you to help him reach the top floor so he can retrieve an item promised to him by the wizard Master Bakar. Bakar appears to have blown up part of his tower with whatever he was working on and now the teleportation sigils Coin usually used don't work. You just slaughtered two nothics and took three scrolls from the room. Some of you are poisoned (Disadvantage on all ability and attack rolls), one of you is a panther. What would you like to do next?

[2:24 PM] Alex - Nolanos: does anyone have spells/potions that can cure poison?

[2:25 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I can detect it, but not cure it. Maybe it will wear off with time?"

[2:26 PM] DM: Coin joins the others on the library side.(edited)

[2:35 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "We best be gettin' outta here, lest more of us get sick"

[2:35 PM] DM: You can see a door there in the room on the west wall.

[2:36 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'll second that."

[2:36 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Right. Onwards and upwards"(edited)

[2:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak moves towards the door, but pauses before opening. "Tinkerer, can ye sense a trap?"

[2:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Let me see" Nolanos checks for traps before progressing

[2:37 PM] DM: Roll Investigation

[2:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((13))

[2:38 PM] DM: You don't see any traps.

[2:38 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Looks clear to me"

[2:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak opens the door slowly

[2:39 PM] DM: This room has another staircase that leads upwards to the third floor.

[2:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Can I roll perception to sense if there's anything in the room with us

[2:39 PM] DM: Sure.

[2:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((20))

[2:40 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Curiouser and curiouser"

[2:40 PM] DM: You don't notice anything specifically, but you can tell there's daylight at the top of the stairs and the smell of fresh air.

[2:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Can i send Reyes to check the other staircase before we make a decision on where to go?

[2:42 PM] DM: There's only one staircase up.

[2:42 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Thank god, it looks like there's an end, or at least an opening to the outside. Let's get to the top. I need some air."

[2:43 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Agreed, let's go." Urrak walks up the flight of stairs

[2:43 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows behind

[2:43 PM] DM: As you climb the stairs, you notice the plastered stone of the walls and ceilings is cracked, then singed, then missing. The entire upper corner of this room appears to be blown out. There's bits of rubble across the floor, mostly piled to the outer wall, but for the most part, it seems the explosion caused most of the rubble to either fly out and away from the tower or otherwise disappear. There's a corner of the interior wall that's broken away revealing both a look into the adjacent room as well as piping that ran through the wall. There is another wooden door on the farthest end of the interior wall.

[2:45 PM] DM: Roll Dex (Acrobatics) please!

[2:45 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((23))

[2:45 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((24))

[2:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda and Coin both rolled 10s.

[2:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((5, nat 1)

[2:48 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((aw yes that nat 1 that's also a 0))

[2:49 PM] DM: Everyone who rolled less than 13 is at disadvantage on this floor because you just can't quite get your feet under you due to the tilt of the floor.

[2:51 PM] DM: Luckily those of you who felt the effects of the poison feel much better.

[2:51 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((new acrobatics roll 25))

[2:52 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Perception for traps and what may have happened here?

[2:52 PM] DM: You can if you're in front.

[2:52 PM] Alex - Nolanos: I am, yay

[2:53 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((8))

[2:53 PM] DM: You don't notice any traps and all you can tell is that something bad happened.

[2:54 PM] Alex - Nolanos: I carefully walk in anyway

[2:54 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Looks like this is where the batty wizard lost control with that explosion."

[2:55 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "This is why I don't mess around with all that mystical mumbo jumbo. Only causes trouble..." Urrak mumbles as she slowly steps into the room

[2:55 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna walks in after Nolanos

[2:56 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Heartily agreed, Urrak" Brimeia nods

[2:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak peeks through the crack in the wall

[2:56 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((can I roll investigation to see if I can see anything weird in there?))

[2:56 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "See anything?"

[2:57 PM] DM: Urrak, all you see is an empty, long room. You do notice the pipes that you're looking past have ruptures in them.

[2:58 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "What is all that piping for?"

[2:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Pipes are ruptured, may be more o' that poison y' ran into earlier"

[2:58 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((14perception))(edited)

[2:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'd say be careful, regardless"

[2:59 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Agreed. Not looking to fall ill like that again anytime soon."

[2:59 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steps forward and attempts to see if she can smell anything out of place.

[2:59 PM] DM: Perception, Seirixori

[3:00 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((14))

[3:01 PM] DM: What are you smelling?

[3:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((the hole in the wall))(edited)

[3:02 PM] DM: There's an odd smell, not poison, exactly, but something chemical you can't really place.

[3:03 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Does it smell like the hallway downstairs?"

[3:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori shakes her head no.

[3:04 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Let's go ahead then, everyone hold your breath to be sure. Can't be taking any chances."

[3:05 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Everybody ready?"(edited)

[3:06 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, slow n' steady"

[3:07 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna walks toward the wooden door but stops short of opening it. "Trapsmith?" She looks over at Nolanos and nods at the door.

[3:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Be careful, dear."

[3:08 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Let's go, I guess" Nolanos checks for traps and holds his breath before opening the door

[3:08 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((13))

[3:09 PM] DM: You notice no traps on the door!

[3:09 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Taking a fresh breath, Nolanos opens the door

[3:09 PM] DM: This lengthy room is bare of anything but another door at the other end.

[3:09 PM] DM: Perception if you'd like.

[3:09 PM] Alex - Nolanos: I would like

[3:10 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((6 perception))

[3:10 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((12))

[3:10 PM] DM: You see a long, empty room!

[3:11 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos quickly but carefully makes his way to the next door, checking for traps there as well

[3:11 PM] DM: You notice no traps.

[3:11 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows behind

[3:11 PM] DM: Enna, Perception?

[3:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak follows close after

[3:12 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((24))

[3:12 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Upon noticing no traps, Nolanos gestures that he wants to open the door, looking for any arguments first

[3:12 PM] DM: Urrak can roll perception too.

[3:13 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((19))

[3:16 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna gestures to the wall, showing nozzles in multiple spots that look like the same material as the other piping

[3:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak nods, as she'd noticed them as well. She motions for the group to get out of this room and onto the others as soon as possible

[3:18 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna motions to Nolanos in a "hurry up" fashion

[3:18 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos, having already checked for traps, opens the door(edited)

[3:20 PM] DM: This room holds several small cages, many with the corpse of a creature that must have died in the explosion or its aftermath or due to starvation when Master Bakar was unable to feed them.

[3:20 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia nods at the gestures and follows quickly

[3:20 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos investigates the room for anything suspicious or traplike

[3:20 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((16 nature check to see if i recognize the creatures))

[3:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "What a madman..." Urrak steps into the room and looks around at the cages

[3:21 PM] DM: Perception for Nolanos

[3:21 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((16))

[3:21 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori enters the new room with Urrak and co.

[3:22 PM] DM: You can easily recognize some of the creatures. Birds, a cat, some rats. Some of them look like they may have some sort of injuries or other oddities to them before they starved. Some have incisions and stitches.

[3:22 PM] DM: Nolanos, you don't notice anything trap-like, but you do notice that the stone floor around the door feels... spongy.

[3:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "A power-hungry mad wizard mutilating and experimenting with life? Color me surprised."

[3:22 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Coin, what in the world was Bakar up to with these creatures?"

[3:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sounds thoroughly sickened as she says this

[3:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Spongy stone? What the..."

[3:23 PM] DM: Coin: "Wanted to improve creatures."

[3:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Improve? How?"

[3:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "That's horrific."

[3:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna looks about to lunge at the kenku "You don't--- you can't just--you let this happen?"

[3:25 PM] DM: Coin tilts his head. "Cats want to fly too."

[3:25 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: As Brimeia steps into the room she lets out a quiet noise of shock and disgust. "Devilish dabblers," she grumbles.

[3:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori makes to laugh and nods in her panther form at Coins comment.

[3:25 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I dunno, Coin. Doesn't look like it worked too well."(edited)

[3:26 PM] DM: Nolanos, you notice that the sponginess might be from something on the other side of the door, but you don't know what. It is kind of sticking to your shoes and making it hard for you to walk, though. It's like you're standing in dough.

[3:26 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I've seen enough, let's get done with this as soon as possible."

[3:27 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Guys... you may want to check this out..." Gestures at the ground(edited)

[3:27 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "If the bastard hadn't already blown himself up, I'd strangle him myself. Let's get out of here."

[3:28 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "The floor...it's soft? What in the nine hells..."

[3:28 PM] DM: Coin: "Not out. Up."

[3:28 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "What do you mean, soft?" Brimeia frowns, not liking the sound of that.

[3:28 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Huh?" Nolanos steps back, looks up, and sees... (?)(edited)

[3:30 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Sighing, Nolanos carefully opens the door

## Roll initiative! (Gibbering Mouther)

[3:31 PM] DM: Opening this door, you're immediately greeted with a strange pinkish-purple lump of flesh with several eyes and mouths. Behind it is another cage, this one larger and broken. It starts babbling incoherently with its many mouths all speaking over one another in what sounds like a number of languages. Roll a Wisdom save and initiative.

[3:32 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((25 initiatve))

[3:32 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((13 initiative))

[3:32 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((18))

[3:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((7))

[3:33 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((wisdom save 13))

[3:33 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((19))

[3:33 PM] DM: Nolanos! Your wisdom save was?

[3:33 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((fucking 4))

[3:33 PM] DM: Roll a Strength save.

[3:34 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((5????????!!!!!!!))

[3:34 PM] DM: Nolanos is overcome by the madness of the babbling and throws his hands over his ears. His turn is skipped.

[3:34 PM] DM: Brimeia! Wisdom save was?

[3:35 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((3))

[3:35 PM] DM: Brimeia is also overcome with madness, but she takes off running in a random direction, which happens to be back the way you came.

[3:36 PM] DM: Seirixori! Wisdom save?

[3:36 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((15))

[3:36 PM] DM: Seirixori succeeds. Continue on.

[3:40 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori attempts to go through the door to get to the creature and bite it.

[3:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((16 arcana))\(edited)

[3:40 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((9 arcana))

[3:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((4 arcana))

[3:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos is gently rocking in the corner "MAKE IT STOP"

[3:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((12 a))

[3:43 PM] DM: The panther leaps into the room and bites down on one chunk of eye and tooth.

[3:43 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((7dmg))

[3:43 PM] DM: Gunnloda!

[3:43 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "This is a gibbering mouther. The thing runs on insanity and is powered by some dark, dark magic! Everyone keep your wits about you!"

[3:44 PM] DM: Gunnloda comes into the room and fires a Sacred Flame into the mouther. ((1 damage))

[3:44 PM] DM: Enna! Wisdom save.

[3:45 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((13))

[3:45 PM] DM: Ok, you're fine!

[3:45 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna casts Hunter's Mark on the mouther as a bonus action

[3:47 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: She then takes an arrow out of her quiver and draws it back, loosing an arrow at the mouther

[3:47 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((17 a, 7pd+2)

[3:47 PM] DM: The arrow flies through the air and catches the mouther in one of its throats.

[3:48 PM] DM: Coin! Succeeds his wisdom throw, enters the room and throws a dagger. It disappears deep in the flesh. ((7 dmg))

[3:49 PM] DM: Urrak!

[3:49 PM] DM: Wisdom save?

[3:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((19))

[3:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks into the room, greatsword drawn and slashes at the mouther

[3:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((18atk, 16dmg))

[3:51 PM] DM: Urrak's sword slices through, splattering black ichor across the walls.

[3:51 PM] DM: Creature!

[3:52 PM] DM: Coin, Nolanos, and Urrak, make a Dex save.

[3:52 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((18))

[3:52 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((12))

[3:52 PM] DM: Actually, I take that back. Not Urrak, but Gunnloda and Enna are included

[3:53 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((13))

[3:54 PM] DM: Enna manages to spin away from the chemical glob as it sails towards Coin and explodes in a bright flash, but Gunnloda, Coin, and Nolanos are all blinded until the end of the creature's next turn.

[3:55 PM] DM: (Blinded, attacks against you have advantage, your attack have disadvantage.)

[3:55 PM] DM: It also reaches out and tries to bite Urrak.

[3:55 PM] DM: It fails to hit.

[3:56 PM] DM: Nolanos!

[3:56 PM] DM: Wisdom save

[3:57 PM] DM: and Strength save if you're trying to move.

[3:57 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos moves to the corner, trying to get away from the mouther

[3:57 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((18wis))(edited)

[3:58 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((1str))

[3:58 PM] DM: You are no longer insane, but you can't move from where you are.

[3:59 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Can I attack at least?

[3:59 PM] DM: If you have a ranged attack, sure.

[4:00 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Shortbow ((17a 7dmg))

[4:00 PM] DM: Nolanos manages to blindly fire at the thing and catch it in one of its eyes.

[4:01 PM] DM: Brimeia!

[4:05 PM] DM: Brimeia moves back into the room.

[4:05 PM] DM: Seirixori!

[4:05 PM] DM: Wisdom save.

[4:05 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((8))

[4:05 PM] DM: Seirixori whimpers at the noise and fails to act this turn.

[4:06 PM] DM: Gunnloda!

[4:06 PM] DM: Gunnloda swings at the thing with her warhammer and clocks it for 7 damage.

[4:06 PM] DM: Enna!

[4:07 PM] DM: Wisdom save.

[4:07 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((19))

[4:07 PM] DM: Go ahead.

[4:08 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna moves back, finding a good vantage point

[4:08 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: She shoots another arrow at the mouther

[4:09 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((24 a, 11 p dmg +6))(edited)

[4:09 PM] DM: The arrow hits with a sickening squelch and it's gasping its last breaths.

[4:10 PM] DM: Coin!  In his madness and blindness, Coin lashes out with another dagger. He slashes Nolanos for 6 damage.

[4:10 PM] DM: Urrak! Wisdom save.

[4:11 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I'M NOT THE BAD GUY, FRIEND"

[4:11 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "ALSO OW."(edited)

[4:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((6))

[4:12 PM] DM: Urrak has to grit her teeth and try not to let the madness in. She loses the rest of her turn.

[4:12 PM] DM: The creature spits again, this time at the space in front of Enna. Enna and Brimeia roll Dex saves.

[4:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((23))

[4:13 PM] DM: Gunnloda, Coin, and Nolanos are no longer blind.

[4:13 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((11 dex save))

[4:13 PM] DM: And it tries to bite at Urrak.

[4:14 PM] DM: And fails again.

[4:15 PM] DM: Nolanos!

[4:15 PM] DM: Wisdom save!

[4:15 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((10))

[4:15 PM] DM: Just barely succeeds.

[4:16 PM] DM: Strength save to move, otherwise do as you wish.

[4:16 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos wipes the grit from his face and shoots the mouther

[4:16 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((12a 10dmg))

[4:17 PM] DM: The arrow flies past Urrak and into the creature and finally, all the mouths fall silent.

## End combat

[4:17 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak breathes a sigh of relief as the voices stop

[4:17 PM] DM: The creature sort of melts into a puddle of flesh.

[4:17 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Ding dong, asshole"

[4:17 PM] DM: Coin blinks at Nolanos. "Sorry."

[4:18 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "God that thing was gross"

[4:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Horrifying"

[4:18 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Oh its okay, I don't have any hard feelings"(edited)

[4:18 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Good lord, is there anything good that can come from arcane magic? Ever?"

[4:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak cleans her greatsword of the ichor and sheaths it.

[4:19 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna walks over to the fleshy puddle and retrieves her arrows, wiping them clean on her armor.

[4:18 PM] DM: Gunnloda flicks her warhammer, some of the ichor falling away. "Yes, yes it was."

[4:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori gags and coughs at the awful taste of the creature.

[4:19 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak offers her waterskin to Seirixori, "Fancy a palette cleanse?"

[4:20 PM] DM: Gunnloda looks over at the panther. "That probably didn't taste good, did it? Here." She pulls a hunk of dried meat from her bag and holds it out to Seir.

[4:20 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos follows suit and retrieves his arrows as well

[4:22 PM] DM: Coin pulls his dagger out with two fingers, and if a beak could cringe, it would.

[4:22 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Hmm? Over already?" Brimeia shakes her head as if trying to shrug off the odd feeling from before.

[4:23 PM] DM: So in this room, you now see another door along the same wall.

[4:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "How close are we to the top, Coin?"

[4:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori gladly takes the meat from Gunnloda and awkwardly tries to drink the water offered as well.

[4:23 PM] DM: Coin shrugs. "Half? I don't walk. I don't know."

[4:28 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak sighs, "Might as well push on"

[4:30 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I suppose so. Anyone want to take the lead?"(edited)

[4:30 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks to and opens the next door

[4:31 PM] DM: You see stairs leading up.

[4:31 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks up the stairs, slowly

[4:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows behind

[4:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows behind

[4:31 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos goes next

[4:31 PM] DM: Dex saves for all.

[4:32 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((12))\

[4:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((17))

[4:32 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((26))

[4:33 PM] DM: Seirixori and Brimeia?

[4:33 PM] DM: Again, as you climb the staircase, you see sky instead of ceiling ahead of you. The floor is partially missing, parts still crumbling to the floor below. Turning around from the top of the stairs, you can see a door.

[4:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((10))

[4:34 PM] DM: Brimeia is again at Disadvantage for this floor due to the tilt.

[4:34 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((6))

[4:35 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos nudges Reyes, who checks around the other side of the broken room

[4:35 PM] DM: You see broken walls and floor, lots of rubble, but not much else besides a door.

[4:37 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Reyes lands and inspects the other part of the room more closely

[4:37 PM] DM: It's full of rubble. Not much else to see. This floor is probably where the explosion actually happened.

[4:38 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Is there a door on that side?

[4:38 PM] DM: Yes.

[4:38 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Can Reyes open it?

[4:38 PM] DM: Reyes can't open doors like this.

[4:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak goes to open to door

[4:39 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Reyes comes back to rest on my shoulder

[4:39 PM] DM: Where are you guys positioning yourselves?

[4:40 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeis stands near the front with Urrak

[4:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos stands near the back but away from the edge, bow at the ready

[4:41 PM] DM: There are shelves here that once contained potions covering the walls near an alchemy station, but many of the vials have shattered, possibly due to the concussive force of the explosion. The fluids splattered across the wall and dripped down into a viscous puddle of goo. There is another sigil on the wall opposite the alchemy station.

[4:41 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((back))

[4:43 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((18 arcana))

[4:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((16))

[4:43 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((7))

[4:43 PM] DM: You see a lot of shattered glass and splattered liquids. They're not really distinguishable, but if you'd like to look through the wreckage, you can roll Investigation.

[4:44 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((15 investigation))

[4:44 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((18 investigation))

[4:44 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak looks along the shelves

[4:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((23 investigation))

[4:44 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((7 inv))

[4:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna kneels down, inspecting the splattered liquids, making sure not to touch

[4:45 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Reyes glides in and lands on a shelf, hopping along it as it looks for things

[4:45 PM] DM: Enna finds a whole potion (17) that has a cloudy green color and a jellyfish-like bubble in the center.

[4:46 PM] DM: Urrak finds one (18) that alternates between a thick, vivid green and the appearance of plain water.(edited)

## Roll initiative! (Ooze)

[4:47 PM] DM: And Brimeia finds... that some of the goo is moving.

[4:47 PM] DM: Everyone roll initiative

[4:47 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((11))

[4:47 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((10))

[4:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((11))

[4:48 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((19))

[4:49 PM] DM: Brimeia!

[4:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((21 nature))

[4:49 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((22 nature))

[4:49 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((6 arcana))

[4:50 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((5 nature))

[4:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "It's an ooze, and this one loves the taste o' metal"

[4:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Be careful, everyone"

[4:50 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Be careful with your weapons."

[4:51 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "All the potions must have come together to make this monstrosity. Yikes."

[4:51 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Reyes, come back!"

[4:52 PM] DM: Brimeia?

[4:53 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia rages and jabs the ooze with a javelin!

[4:54 PM] DM: It jabs the thing! (And the javelin is now at -1 for attack and damage)

[4:54 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((16 atk, 12 dmg))

[4:55 PM] DM: Gunnloda! Will come in and Sacred Flame it from a distance because she does not want it to eat her armor.

[4:55 PM] DM: It takes 4 radiant damage and seems to recoil.

[4:56 PM] DM: The ooze reaches out a pseudopod and swings at Brimeia.

[4:56 PM] DM: It whacks her for 3 bludgeoning damage (reduced to 1) and 3 acid damage.

[4:56 PM] DM: Coin! Is going to hang back because nope.

[4:56 PM] DM: Urrak!

[4:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak, not wanting the thing to eat her prized greatsword runs up and punches the ooze

[4:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((8str))

[4:59 PM] DM: Urrak runs up and stomps the thing, causing it to splatter and fail to reform.

## End combat

[5:00 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Remind me to get some new boots after this..."

[5:01 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles.

[5:01 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Well that was interesting" Nolanos enters the room and fully checks the shelves for potions that may still be intact

[5:01 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna smiles a little, appreciating an excuse for some levity after the situation with the cages before

[5:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori moves towards the other door and sits next to it, waiting.

[5:02 PM] Alex - Nolanos: ((24inv))

[5:03 PM] DM: You don't find any other useful bits.

[5:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: The panther form of Seirixori vanishes and her Tiefling self is sitting on the ground, her chin resting on her hand, "Let's get on with this."(edited)

[5:04 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Still more to go," Enna agrees

[5:04 PM] DM: Coin: "Bad when red woman is better choice."

[5:07 PM] DM: Nolanos disappears and Coin jumps. "What happened?!"

[5:07 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ah, we've been dealin with the effects of another mad wizard with a penchant to teleportation"

[5:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Mind ye, any one of us could poof out just the same at any time"(edited)

[5:08 PM] DM: Coin repeats "poof" in Urrak's voice.

[5:08 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Well, there's goes the traps guy. Anyone want to take the lead on that?"

[5:09 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I guess we'll just have to watch our feet and tread carefully."

[5:10 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'll take the lead, should anything happen to explode in my face. I can take a hit" Urrak moves to open the next door

[5:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori scrambles to get up and away from the door before Urrak opens it.(edited)

[5:11 PM] DM: Opening the door, you see the floor is pretty much completely covered in rubble. There's missing bits of the floor fallen into the floor below and walls that have fallen into heaps.

[5:12 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Tread carefully. Floor seems unstable at best"

[5:12 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak moves to explore the room

[5:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seeing the mess in the next room Seirixori decides she's going to go back into a beast and change into a Wolf.

[5:15 PM] DM: Roll an acrobatics check.

[5:15 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((18))

[5:15 PM] DM: Urrak dodges one loose bit of rubble. Athletics?

[5:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((14))

[5:16 PM] DM: And one more athletics.

[5:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((14))

[5:16 PM] DM: Urrak manages to scramble over the walls to the stairs.

[5:17 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori tries to follow Urrak.

[5:17 PM] DM: Acrobatics and two Athletics checks.

[5:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((8 acrobatics))

[5:19 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((nat 20- 21))

[5:19 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Good wolf"(edited)

[5:19 PM] DM: The wolf is on the stairs.

[5:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Good job, Ser"

[5:21 PM] DM: Urrak, when you look up, you can see that the stairs go around the narrow part of the tower up to a floor high above. It's crooked though and it might be difficult to find footing.

[5:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Before anyone else almost kills themselves..."

[5:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori barks and walks up a couple more stairs, tilting her head to see if she can hear any movement on the next floor.

[5:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna takes the hemp rope out of her bag. "Urrak, catch?" She throws one end of the rope towards the half-orc

[5:23 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia sidles over cautiously

[5:23 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((16 for perception if I can hear crap up the stairs))

[5:23 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((1))

[5:23 PM] DM: The rope tumbles over the edge.

[5:23 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Welp."

[5:24 PM] DM: You don't hear anything. It's also like... 20-30 feet high.

[5:24 PM] DM: You can pull the rope back up though.

[5:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna pulls the rope back up and tries again

[5:25 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((14))

[5:25 PM] DM: Urrak roll a dex save.

[5:25 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((10))

[5:26 PM] DM: You can catch the rope without falling.

[5:26 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((17))

[5:26 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Got it!"

[5:26 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((is there anything around me to anchor this end to?))

[5:27 PM] DM: You can tie it to something in the alchemy room?

[5:27 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak ties her end of the rope around her waist

[5:27 PM] DM: The rubble's not really anything large enough to anchor.

[5:28 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna holds the rope and anchors it on something sturdy in the alchemy room(edited)

[5:28 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia tries not to look too closely at anything but the path in front of her.

[5:29 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Okay, now we have a failsafe."

[5:25 PM] DM: Seirixori, if you're going up, roll acrobatics.

[5:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Not hearing anything, Seirixori slowly heads up the stairs.

[5:26 PM] DM: Serixori starts moving up the stairs, and other than the odd tilt and sway of this upper end of the tower, doesn't notice anything.

[5:26 PM] DM: Higher?

[5:26 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((yes))

[5:26 PM] DM: Another acrobatics check.

[5:27 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((19))

[5:27 PM] DM: You reach the landing and see a ladder to the next floor up.

[5:29 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Where did that dang shapeshifter go...?" Urrak mumbles to herself

[5:29 PM] DM: Ok! Who's next?

[5:29 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori contemplates trying to get up the ladder but decides to wait for her companions. She sits next to it, keeping an ear out for any strange noises.

[5:29 PM] DM: Perception check, Seirixori

[5:30 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((14))

[5:30 PM] DM: Acrobatics and two athletics checks.

[5:30 PM] DM: You don't have disadvantage.

[5:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Urrak, hold steady and brace it."

[5:31 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia runs her hand along the rope to help keep her on course

[5:31 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, will do!" Urrak braces herself against the walls of the stairwell

[5:32 PM] DM: Brimeia's trying so hard not to pay attention to the height that she misses the loose rock and slips. She falls to the floor taking 3 points of damage. Make a Dex save.

[5:32 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((18 acro, nat 1 ath, 16))

[5:32 PM] DM: And Urrak, make a strength save with advantage.

[5:33 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((21))

[5:33 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: ((nat 1))

[5:34 PM] DM: The sudden fall caused Brimeia's grip on the rope to falter and she slipped over the edge to the floor below taking an added 7 points of falling damage and landing prone on the floor in room 8.

[5:36 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "OW" Brimeia yelps.

[5:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "BRIMEIA!" Urrak leans to look down and sees her companion prone

[5:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "YOU ALRIGHT, MATE?"

[5:36 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna moves forward, hearing the thud and Urrak yelling. "WHAT HAPPENED?"

[5:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda, from the other room: "What happened?"

[5:36 PM] DM: Coin: repeats the sound Brimeia made when she yelped and fell.

[5:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Damn clumsy Tiefling fell through the floor!"

[5:38 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh, no! Are you ok, love?"

[5:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'm coming over. We'll get her back up."

[5:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna moves through the door, making her way along the edge of the wall

[5:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((17 acrobatics, 18 ath, 9 ath))

[5:40 PM] DM: You manage to make it to the stairs safely.

[5:41 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Where did Seirixori go?"

[5:41 PM] DM: To move up, it's another acrobatics, without advantage since you don't have the rope.

[5:41 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna begins heading up the stairs

[5:41 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((20 acro))

[5:42 PM] DM: You make it halfway up the long spiral stairway. Another to get to the top.

[5:42 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Urrak, make sure the Tiefling gets back up okay."

[5:42 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((7 acro))

[5:42 PM] DM: Make a Dex save.

[5:42 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ugh. Maybe I'll just stay here," she grumbles

[5:43 PM] DM: Enna's foot slips as she tries to transition through the tilted stairs.

[5:43 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Shit"

[5:43 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((24 dex save))

[5:44 PM] DM: She manages to sprawl out and stop just falling prone and taking 4 points of damage from smacking her face on the stair's edge.

[5:44 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Ow. Graceful."

[5:46 PM] DM: Gunnloda finds herself sitting right next to Brimeia, flat on her back.  "Oof."

[5:46 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((does Enna need to make another acrobatics check to continue up the stairs?))

[5:46 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna gets up and steadies herself again, attempting to make her way up the steep slope of the stairs

[5:47 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((11))

[5:46 PM] DM: Coin peeks over the edge and makes the sound of a deep sigh.

[5:46 PM] DM: Gunnloda sits up. "Oh... hello, dear. Glad I didn't land on you."

[5:46 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ah, you too?" Brimeia sighs toward Gunnloda

[5:47 PM] DM: Coin manages to get to the stairs with Urrak.

[5:48 PM] DM: Roll another Dex save.

[5:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((11))

[5:49 PM] DM: You manage to catch yourself from falling again, but you're definitely starting to feel a bit queasy.

[5:49 PM] DM: You can crawl to the top.

[5:49 PM] DM: Coin: "Up?"

[5:47 PM] DM: He repeats the sounds Brimeia and Gunnloda made when they fell, complete with the clanging of Gunnloda's armor.

[5:48 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "That creature... Come on, dear. Let's at least dust off." She stands and puts her hand out to Brimeia to help her up.

[5:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia reluctantly clambers to her feet, accepting the cleric's assistance

[5:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Thanks."

[5:49 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna decides it's safer to crawl than attempt to walk up the stairs and makes it to the top

[5:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, Coin, you can go up. We've two people we need to get still"

[5:50 PM] DM: Coin calls up to the top. "More rope?"

[5:51 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "That's all I've got, unless wolfy here has some hiding in that fur of hers"

[5:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak grabs her climber's kit and hands Coin the rope

[5:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "'Ere, more rope for ye"

[5:52 PM] DM: He takes it, looks at it, looks at her, looks at it, looks at her. "How is this going to help?"

[5:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda cracks her back. "Do you need healing, dear?"(edited)

[5:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak moves to throw one end of the rope to Enna

[5:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((8))

[5:53 PM] DM: The rope falls right back down in her face.

[5:53 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia, looking a bit sheepish, answers, "Yes, please."

[5:53 PM] DM: Coin moves past Urrak.

[5:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Augh--damn"

[5:54 PM] DM: Gunnloda puts a hand on her shoulder and heals her for 9 pts with a smile. "You'll be ok."

[5:54 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak turns to the hole, ignoring Coin and yells "BRIMEIA, GUNNLODA, GRAB THE ROPE, I'LL PULL YOU UP ONE AT A TIME"

[5:54 PM] DM: Coin comes tumbling back down the stairs.

[5:55 PM] DM: He's oddly silent when he does, though.

[5:56 PM] DM: You guys at the top can see up into the top room though. It looks like a decorated space.

[5:56 PM] DM: Gunnloda gestures to the rope. "Do you want to go up?"

[5:57 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Let's finish this..the others seem to be okay."

[5:57 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori nods and shakes her head for Enna to go up first.

[5:57 PM] DM: Gunnloda yells up: "Let us know if we need to come up for anything!"

[5:58 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna calls down the stairs, "Urrak, make your way up here.""

[5:58 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "We're jus' leavin' 'em then? You sure?" Urrak yells up(edited)

[5:59 PM] DM: Gunnloda carefully edges over to look down. "That's a loooong way down." She moves back over to where Brimeia is. "Think I'll stay over here."

[5:59 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Alright, you two stay put! We'll be back for ye!"

[5:59 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak goes to climb the stairs

[6:00 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "We've got to move on and we've already cleared those areas. They'll be able to back up our rear in case anything happens. And I don't trust that Tiefling to get up these stairs with the way she's been fumbling."

[6:00 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia doesn't bother going over the edge to look and stays put. "Ah, someone reasonable"

[6:00 PM] DM: Athletics check.

[6:00 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Should we go back to the stairs at least? Through the Death Rooms?"

[6:00 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((18))

[6:01 PM] DM: You make it halfway up. Another, please?

[6:01 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((14))

[6:01 PM] DM: Coin follows you up with your rope.

[6:01 PM] DM: You make it up!

[6:01 PM] DM: And he tumbles back down again in a heap of feather and claw.

[6:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori, tired of waiting, decides to try and somehow get up the ladder.

[6:02 PM] DM: You've had enough time that with a few tries you can scramble your way up.

[6:02 PM] DM: While the smaller items of this room are scattered a bit, and anything round has rolled against the outer wall, this is clearly a personal space. There is another sigil on the wall that allowed Master Bakar and Coin to teleport directly from the entry to this room. There's a bed on one side and shelves, a chair, and a desk around the edges.

[6:02 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows the wolf up the ladder

[6:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak follows close behind

[6:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori pokes around the room to see if there's anything useful.

[6:03 PM] DM: Investigation

[6:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: ((2))

[6:03 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((byeeeeee))

[6:03 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: ((8))

[6:04 PM] DM: Coin is battered, but he really, really wants to get his thing.

[6:04 PM] DM: Enna rolled a 1. lmao

[6:05 PM] DM: Coin uses the rope and crawls on all fours, taking a full 10 minutes to climb carefully up the stairs.

[6:06 PM] DM: Coin pulls a door open to a set of drawers and small closet. He opens one of the drawers and pulls out a small ring.

[6:07 PM] DM: He sets it on his finger. "Coin can fly. Meet at potion shop and I will bring MAGIC SHARD?!"

[6:08 PM] DM: Coin: "You can have other things" he says, gesturing at the drawers.

[6:08 PM] DM: He starts moving back towards the stairs.

[6:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "...I hate that damn bird." Urrak wraps the rope back into a neat coil and places it back in her pack

[6:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Might as well look around."

[6:08 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori looks in the drawers Coin pointed to.

[6:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak searches in the drawers as well

[6:09 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well, do you think the other rooms any safer than this one?" Brimeia asks Gunnloda

[6:10 PM] DM: Enna and Urrak can find a whole bunch of stuff in there. 90 gp, 1000 cp, some fine cloth 19, two small silver mirrors 20&21, a vial of perfume22, a cloak of blue and silver23, another of blue and gold24, a finely made dagger25, and a necklace in the shape of a heart26.

[6:11 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I think we're safe enough here. The floor wasn't crumbling under us here."

[6:12 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori, seeing that Urrak and Enna are really the only ones who can carry stuff, tries to make her way back down.

[6:12 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ah good. Let's wait til the rest get back then"

[6:13 PM] DM: After piling all the stuff in Urrak's bag (bc it's easier) you all very carefully make your way downstairs.

[6:15 PM] DM: Gunnloda greets you all. "All clear up there? Where did that bird run off to?"

[6:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ran to his shop, we'll have to meet him there for the shard"

[6:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori changes back into her regular form when they meet Gunnloda and Brimeia. "Are you alright?" She asks Gunnloda

[6:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda shrugs. "A little sore. I'll be glad to be back on solid ground."

[6:17 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "And you Brimeia? That was quite a fall"

[6:17 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia's eyes dart furtively for a moment. "Uh. Fine. 'm fine."

[6:18 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "She'll be all right."

[6:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Well, Coin took off, so we might as well get out of here and back to the shop."

[6:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye. Sooner the better"

[6:19 PM] DM: You all make your way back downstairs and toward the shop. Coin meets you in the alley outside the shop with the shard.

[6:19 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak reaches for the shard and asks "So just what does this magic shard do, anyway?"

[6:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Upon further inspecting it, she realizes it looks similar to the pieces of the component

[6:20 PM] DM: Coin: "I don't know."

[6:21 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Let's just get out of here," Seirixori pulls out Poni and readies to teleport everyone out.

[6:21 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Seconded."

[6:21 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sounds like a plan"

[6:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda says "Yes, please," and puts her hand on Seirixori's shoulder.

[6:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori pushes the button when all the touching happens.

[6:22 PM] DM: You all appear back in Poni's basement.

## Session 11- The Cask

[7:11 PM] DM: DAY 3, 3:30 PM BELLBURY TIME

After the odd encounter with the kenku named Coin, you traveled back to Bellbury to rest for the night. Some of you might have just recently popped in and headed to the Cask to check in while the rest of you are coming back from Poni's basement... leaving Poni on the desk in his workshop so he wouldn't bug you while you rest.

The Cask itself is lively again. People are eating, drinking, shouting at one another. There's a card game going on in the corner, and a number of faces, some of which you've seen before, others seem new.

[7:13 PM] DM: Gunnloda follows you all to the Cask, but disappears into the kitchen rather than sitting with you.

[7:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori stays behind for a while longer in the basement with Poni and just stares at the wall, tapping on Poni.

[7:18 PM] DM: Poni: "Do you mind?"

[7:20 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Sorry." Seirixori mumbles, too distracted to realize she apologized to the annoying guy,  "is there a time limit on a personal item? For you to ... find them?"

[7:21 PM] DM: Poni: "Not that I would expect you to understand these things, but it doesn't really work on time. It's whether the person is still connected to the item. The stronger the connection, the longer it lasts."

[7:22 PM] DM: Poni: "And whether someone else has taken over the connection."

[7:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "As always, the most helpful." Seirixori turns to leave, "have fun sitting here." She knocks a few things over with her tail as she leaves and heads to the tavern.  She finds a corner to sit in and rests her head in her hands.

[7:30 PM] DM: Gunnloda walks over with two tankards of ale and sets one down in front of Seirixori. "You look like you could use this."

[7:34 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori jumps a little, "Shit," she mutters before taking the drink and stares at it, "thanks." She only takes a small sip before setting it back down,  fiddling with the tankard. She opens her mouth to say something else, but can't seem to find any words.

[7:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Mind if I sit, dear? Or would you rather your space?"

[7:40 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori puts the tankard up to her mouth and takes a huge gulp, "You...uh you can sit."

[7:41 PM] DM: Gunnloda takes the seat across from her. "Was it the eye thing?"

[7:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Choking on her drink, Seirixori laughs, "No, no. I just...figured maybe Poni could help me out with something, however, as usual, he could not."

[7:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm not sure he could help you with anything. Do you need to talk to someone? I'm told I'm an excellent listener."

[7:38 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Almost immediately upon popping back into the basement, Urrak begins to rush towards the stairs. She knows many hours have passed and have likely cost her a lucrative job back home. The coin taken from this last encounter feel hollow in her pocket, as she is never sure when she'll be back home. Worse still, her reputation will surely take a hit

[7:38 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "...Need a drink" seeming to be the last audible words from her lips as she exits the basement

[7:42 PM] DM: The Cask itself is lively again. People are eating, drinking, shouting at one another. There's a card game going on in the corner, and a number of faces, some of which you've seen before, others seem new. Gunnloda and Seirixori are sitting in a corner with tankards of ale.

[7:43 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak is in a mood, but takes comfort in the presence of friends, she grabs a tankard of ale and heads towards Seir and Gunnloda

[7:47 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks over, cask in hand and sits down silently, takes a large swig of ale and sets the cask down slightly rougher than normal. After a moment she mumbles "s'rry t' interrupt"

[7:49 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori chews on her lip with her sharp teeth and opens her mouth to give a little insight but nearly bites her tongue when Urrak shows up, "Maybe some other time," she says while scooting as far back as she can.

[7:51 PM] DM: Gunnloda offers a sympathetic smile before turning to Urrak. "And you? D'you  need to talk about anything?"

[7:52 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I...It's nothing. All this teleportin just...I suppose I'm startin' t' feel the strain is all." She takes another swig

[7:53 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I can sulk elsewhere if ye were in the middle o' somethin'. Truly sorry for disturbin'." Urrak says, turning her head towards Seri towards the end

[8:07 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "No, it's fine. Misery and company and all that, right? There wasn't  much to say anyway, dead friends,  missing mother,  you know." She shrugs and then stares at the drink in confusion, realizing she definitely said far more than intended.

[8:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "That all certainly sounds like somethin' mate. Y'know we've all got problems, if ye like, ye air yours. Old friend of mine used t' say it 'elps."

[8:11 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Is there... does this always happen when you drink this stuff?" Seirixori asks, still looking at the drink she's been fiddling with.

[8:12 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "You must just be under a lot of stress, dear. I can get you water if you'd rather."

[8:13 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak laughs as well "In vino, veritas." She takes another swallow of ale

[8:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes, water, I like water." Seirixori looks at Urrak, "In what?"

[8:14 PM] DM: Gunnloda stands, pats Seirixori on the shoulder as she passes, and goes to get some water.

*[*8:15 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "In wine, truth. Though, this be ale."

*[*8:18 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* She nods but her eyes follow Gunnloda, "I don't think I like it very much."

*[*8:26 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "I don't blame ye. There's somethin' wicked about drink. But hey, who doesn't want a little bit of wickedness every now n' then?" Urrak finishes her cask and stands to refill. "Y' want anythin' from the back?"

*[*8:27 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda reappears with another plate piled high with different foods for the table and a mug of water for Seirixori.

*[*8:27 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Looks like I was beaten t' the punch. I'll be back."

*[*8:29 PM*]* DM*:* She sits, piles some of the roasted meat on top of a piece of bread, and starts eating.

*[*8:30 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Thank you, Gunnloda." Seirixori eagerly takes the water and food, "I think that taste from earlier is still flowing around. You're the best. " she says quickly, shoving a piece of food in her mouth to stop herself from talking.

*[*8:30 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles. "It's no problem, dear. Why didn't you just swipe it with your claws though?"

*[*8:33 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I was not thinking, to be honest. I hadn't really done that before."

*[*8:34 PM*]* DM*:* She laughs. "You were one of those kids that put everything in your mouth first, weren't you?"

*[*8:38 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "I..." Seirixori thinks, a moment, "my mother used to tell me I'd bite someone's hand if it came near my face, so yeah."

*[*8:42 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "That's 'ow orc babies show affection" Urrak booms over Seri's shoulder as she puts down two full casks of ale. She grabs a bit of meat and quickly devours it, a small smile on her face as she chews

*[*8:45 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "Varun probably thought otherwise when razor sharp teeth pierced his dragonborn tail." Seirixori chuckles a little sadly.

*[*8:46 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Friend of yours?"

*[*8:48 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "He was. Not really sure if he's alive to be honest. " she states, sitting up now and messing with a piece of food, not eating it.

*[*8:49 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "i'm sorry. That's never an easy thing to deal with."

*[*8:52 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* Seirixori shrugs, "Probably better that I don't know." She rips the food she has but doesn't eat it. "So... where do you go when we're not all in this empty town?"

*[*8:55 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Where's home, you mean? Right now, a place called Forsa. Big town, bit bigger'n this one."

*[*8:57 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "What did ye do, before all this mess?"

*[*8:59 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "Did? I serve the Host how I can. Usually it's by feeding people, especially those who can't feed themselves."

*[*9:01 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Suppose I should've gathered y' were a woman of the cloth. Apologies. When it comes t'all things divine I've little experiance."

*[*9:02 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda smiles. "It's all right, dear. I'm not your average preacher."

*[*9:03 PM*]* Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi*:* "Certainly th' first I've seen with a warhammer" she sips more ale and smiles(edited)

*[*9:04 PM*]* DM*:* Gunnloda: "It's good for tenderizing." She grins and winks.

*[*9:05 PM*]* Felicia - Seirixori*:* "You're much nicer than anyone I've come across..." Seirixori pauses a moment, " You're all weirdly nice. "

[9:07 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'll take that as a compliment. 'Weirdly nice' is weirdly one of the kindest things any folk 've called me."

[9:08 PM] DM: Gunnloda doesn't know how to react to that so she just makes an 'aww' face.

[9:09 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'm usually jus th' big scary orc lady. And get paid 'andsomly for mostly" she takes an another swig but her mood seems to sour a bit as she remembers the job back in Chaldra(edited)

[9:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori awkwardly pats Urrak on the shoulder, "maybe I should get paid for having devil blood."

[9:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I know a bloke or two who might. Y'just gotta work on look a might bit more intimidatin'"(edited)

[9:16 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Usually the teeth and the horns work out pretty well. " she shrugs.

[9:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "'Specially by campfire light I reckon" urrak says with a grin

[9:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "What do you do?"

[9:22 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Me? Pretty much anythin' what involves muscle. 'Ad a job lined up before all this teleportin' mess t'escort a man through a patch of dangerous wood. Could've gotten quite the payout for it but...he almost certainly hired someone else by now. But yeah, jobs like that, shakin' down folks fer debt, mean muggin to make negotiations happen a bit faster...hell a pit fight or two. I haven't much talent other'n fightin' might as well use what I 'ave."

[9:23 PM] DM: Gunnloda raises an eyebrow. "I see."

[9:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Uh... well when Mielikki doesn't make me stay with the clan, I'm... searching for someone.  Definitely not as exciting."

[9:26 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Mielikki? That your... leader of some sort?"

[9:30 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: She shrugs,  "No. Yes? She's goddess of the...forest? I've never actually asked but she gave me a place to stay when I didn't have one anymore so...i just check in with her sometimes." Seirixori rubs her collarbone. "I wouldn't go back if it weren't for her, honestly. The druid clan isn't very nice, even worse now that Unastine is on some mission for Her."(edited)

[9:32 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh! My apologies. I haven't heard of her."

[9:36 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry, but... you've met her?"

[9:39 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Sounds right complicated. Though I imagine dealin' with literal gods would be..." Urrak finishes her cask and grabs  a link of sausage and a roll, "Gruumsh speaks t' me mum sometimes, in 'er sleep. Though I hear that's common for Fullbloods."

[9:40 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "That one I have heard of. Not one I think I'd like to meet."

[9:42 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I have. After some unfortunate circumstances, I was brought to her. I never got a  explanation other than she wished to 'aid' me. She kept me alive, but no one else. I was too angry at her for it then. Didn't want anything to do with her or the druids, but gets I am."(edited)

[9:45 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Sometimes your path chooses you, whether we like it or not."

[9:46 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Suppose that's a right tidy way t' put things."

[9:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If there's one thing I've learned in the last couple decades, it's that the gods are a confusing bunch."

## Mansion

[7:54 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: After returning in the portal from the wizard's tower, exhausted and battleweary, Enna makes her way first thing out of Poni's basement out into the fresh air of the town square. Enna releases a sigh of relief to see the sky overhead and not be surrounded by encroaching walls.

[7:55 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: She looks around, surveying the square.

[7:57 PM] DM: It's mostly bare. Seems the majority of people are in the Cask. You can hear a bit of noise coming from that direction. Roll Perception.

[7:58 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((12 ))

[8:00 PM] DM: You notice the door to the big fancy building next to the Cask is open, but you're pretty sure it was closed before.

[8:03 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna walks toward the building, intrigued

[8:04 PM] DM: The door's wide open and you can hear someone rustling around inside.

[8:05 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna peers inside, approaching slowly just in case

[8:06 PM] DM: You hear a gruff voice. "Hello? Lady Moonstream? Anyone?"

[8:07 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna walks into the building after the voice. "Just a visitor."

[8:11 PM] DM: You see a dwarf man, brown skin, dark hair, full braided beard, in traveling clothes pop out from a room down the hall. "Hello? You work for Lady Moonstream?"

[8:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "No, just another unwitting visitor to your home, thanks to that wretched gnome Poni. Lady Moonstream?"

[8:13 PM] DM: Dwarf: "Yeah, she runs these parts. I was wondering why there's nobody at the docks to take my shipment, but... it seems there's not much of anyone anywhere."

[8:14 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Shipment of what? What is your occupation here?"

[8:16 PM] DM: He looks at you curiously. "That's a lot of questions for someone who doesn't work here." He steps forward with his hand out. "Name's Belrom. You are?"

[8:20 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'd imagine I'm entitled to know the lay of the land and the townsfolk for the place I may end up stuck in for eternity, don't you? The name is Enna. You haven't answered my question."

[8:22 PM] DM: He frowns and puts his hand back down. "Don't think that means you have a right to my business. Do you know where Lady Moonstream is, or not?"

[8:25 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Is she among the missing?"

[8:25 PM] DM: Belrom: "This is her house and she don't seem to be here."

[8:26 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: ((insight - 8 whomp whomp seeing what i can glean from this guy))

[8:26 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "If this is her home, then what are you doing here?"

[8:27 PM] DM: He looks irritated. "I told ya. I was wondering why nobody was at the docks to take the shipment."

[8:31 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'm just trying to find some answers. You'll understand if being suddenly teleported into a new place is a mite bit...disorienting."

[8:31 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine appears once again in the town square and hears the commotion coming from the cask. Not feeling very sociable and instead wanting to explore the town more, she decides to walk toward the mansion and sees the exchange between enna and the stranger while lurking in the back(edited)

[8:31 PM] DM: Belrom: "Teleporting? What are you talking about?"

[8:34 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna looks quizzically at the dwarf. "Are you joking? Your local wizard idiot. People you've never seen before poofing into your town from nowhere? Are  you about to tell me you haven't noticed? Because I don't like being taken for a fool."

[8:35 PM] DM: Belrom: "I don't know what you're talking about, lady. I'm from Grimpeak. Just came into town maybe an hour ago."

[8:36 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine walks up to Enna and the stranger. "Is this man giving you trouble?"

[8:36 PM] DM: He scoffs. "If anything, it's her givin' me trouble."

[8:37 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "If you only got here an hour ago, what are you doing in here?"

[8:37 PM] DM: Belrom: "Do you know where Lady Moonstream is? Or Amandis? Nira?"

[8:38 PM] DM: Belrom: "I've got a cart full'a ore at the docks, waiting for someone to pay for it, but there ain't nobody there."

[8:39 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna realizes she's made a misstep and tries to backtrack. "Apologies. I assumed you were one of Bellbury's citizens. Tensions are...high right now and we're..newcomers. "

[8:39 PM] DM: Belrom: "You don't say."

[8:40 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "You haven't said what you've come to deliver though. Perhaps we can pass on the message to someone more familiar."

[8:41 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia, a bit shaken up from all the mess with the tower, takes her time collecting herself, wandering the still mostly empty town streets before noticing the commotion by the fancy building.

[8:42 PM] DM: Belmon speaks slowly like he's about out of patience. "Every Fendan I bring Grimpeak's ore down to Bellbury, sell it to Amandis or Nira so they can ship it down to Riverrun, then I go to the Hydra to get drunk and laid til it's time to go back west."

[8:43 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "There's no need to be rude. We can figure this out together. How much do they usually pay you"

[8:43 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Recognizing Enna and Ravaphine's voices, she steps in to take a look. "Hello, friends!" She looks around another moment at the unfamiliar man, then back to her companions. "Problem?"

[8:44 PM] DM: He startles for a moment. "How many of you are there?"

[8:44 PM] DM: He eyes Brimeia warily.

[8:46 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Depends what you mean by that," Brimeia answers with a shrug.

[8:46 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Fendan? God we really are somewhere different aren't we."

[8:53 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "What can you tell us about this Lady Moonstream and how she runs this...did you say she runs the town?"

[8:55 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Amandis and Nira too while you're at it"

[8:56 PM] DM: Belrom: "You really ain't from around here are you?"

[8:57 PM] DM: Belrom: "The Moonstreams run most of this part of the whole dang countryside, but yes, Eloise Moonstream runs this town. Amandis and Nira are the harbormasters at the docks."

[8:58 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Just traveling and passing through. Thought we'd stop to learn about the history of the town"

[8:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "and you? what town are you from?"

[9:00 PM] DM: His face falls. "Grimpeak. I'm clearly not gonna get any answers from you lot. Think I'd rather go get drunk."

[9:03 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Ah yes, northwest of here in the mountains north of Clearhall. I've heard of that place" Ravaphine lies

[9:05 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Are the Moonstreams good people?"

[9:07 PM] DM: Belrom: "They're people. They got good and bad in 'em. She and her wife are nice to look at though. Half-elves."

[9:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What else do they get imported here besides ore"

[9:10 PM] DM: Belrom: "I don't know! I just deliver my ore. This is the furthest upstream you can get big boats on the Muyar, so we bring our stuff here to float it down to Riverrun. That's all I know."

[9:11 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I'll tell you what, I'll help you look for Amandis or Nira by the docks. They might be there doing other business. And then I can buy you as much ale as you want here at the cask before you go, for your troubles"

[9:12 PM] DM: He kind of narrows his eyes at you, then looks you up and down, looks at the others suspiciously. "....ok?"

[9:12 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Lead the way!"

## Docks

[9:15 PM] DM: He does. He takes you down the main north-south road, the same one you take to get to Poni's, and you actually pass Poni's house. A bit further south, the buildings turn to lesser quality wooden structures and the smell of rotting fish is heavy in the air. There's a wide river to the south that hugs the edge of Bellbury with several smaller docks, some of which have smaller boats tied to them, and two larger docks. There's a huge open space that's been sectioned off to act as a warehouse/storage area, and there's a cart there, full of ore, with two oxen tied to it. Everything looks like it was in use and suddenly had nobody there to continue working. There are some boxes broken open, huge piles of fish sitting on the deck, and a boat drifting on the river, barely tied with one bit of rope.(edited)

[9:16 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Looks like everything just...up and stopped."

[9:18 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "ECK. Quite a stench here, isn't there? Doesn't seem if anyone's tended to this mess in a while."

[9:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I don't know if the people you're looking for are here" Ravaphine says to the dude

[9:20 PM] DM: Belrom: "I told you... doesn't seem anyone's here. Except you."

[9:20 PM] DM: Belrom: "It's damn creepy."

[9:20 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "We're trying to figure out what happened to everyone in this town. Have you ever seen anything.. out of sorts? Maybe on the edge of the woods on the outskirts of town? Anything that could have attacked or taken the people here? They can't have all just...disappeared."

[9:22 PM] DM: Belrom looks at you weirdly. "How the hells would something take hundreds of people? Where would they go?"(edited)

[9:26 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "You would be surprised what devils magic can stir up." Realizing the way that could come across, she turns to  Brimeia momentarily, awkwardly. "No offense." She anxiously fidgets with her bracer, seemingly stuck in a thought.

[9:27 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia lets out a low huff at the mention of devils. "None taken, so long as you don't consider me one of 'em"

[9:31 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: ((can I check to see if there is any documentation that shows the last timestamp of a delivery or anything))

[9:33 PM] DM: Sure. There's a building set on the edge of the warehouse/storage area that looks a bit more put-together than most of the buildings in the area. It looks like where most of the business would pass through.

[9:35 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Let's head over to the warehouse area. Maybe somebody is there or they left a note" Ravaphine motions for the party to follow

[9:36 PM] DM: No, actually the door's just a bit open.

[9:37 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia follows along. "What are we looking for anyway?"

[9:38 PM] DM: There's a long counter inside with lots of paperwork on the other side at three stations with stools. There's also a door that leads further into the building.

[9:46 PM] DM: Sure. It's pretty easy to see the last time the logs were written in was under a heading of "Dordan, 5 Jaqmont, 3Y20."

[9:46 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Doesn't look like any shipments have gone through here in a while. Let's head back to the town square and get you that drink, sir"

[9:47 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "It's clear there's not much to find here." Enna starts walking back the way they came

[9:47 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "I like the sound of that!" Brimeia agrees

[9:48 PM] DM: Belrom: "Sure. If you're buying."

[9:48 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "First round is on me"

[9:48 PM] DM: You head back north and go to the Cask.

## The Cask

[9:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine notices her companions inside of the tavern and waves before she makes her way behind the bar(edited)

[9:50 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Greetings, friends!" Brimeia announces from the doorway as she enters. "We found another.... fellow."

[9:51 PM] DM: Everyone in the tavern stops talking to look at Brimeia for a moment, then goes back to what they were doing.

[9:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "They sure know how t' make a scene, eh?"

[9:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: She pours Belrom a pint and slides it down to him down the bar then makes a tray of drinks for her companions before bringing it to the table

[9:52 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "Seems so."

[9:52 PM] DM: Belrom takes it and downs half of it in one go before refilling it and following.

[9:53 PM] DM: Belrom: "Didn't know you ran this place. I mighta stopped in more often."

[9:54 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "...It's a recent development" She says to Belrom

[9:53 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine approaches the table and says out of Belrom's earshot "We've got a local. Almost. From a  neighboring town. Knows a little more about this place than anybody else"

[9:54 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Did we miss anything exciting?" Brimeia asks, plopping down into a chair near the others

[9:54 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna follows the party into the Cask a few steps behind, and makes her way over to a table. She grabs a spare rag and takes off her quiver, taking out her arrows to better clean them after the last gooey encounter.

[9:57 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Enna, why don't you come join us?"

[9:55 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "No." Seirixori hunches down a little, uncomfortable with the sudden presence of everyone.  "Nothing exciting. "

[9:57 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Oh?" Brimeia raises an eyebrow. "You look a little pink. Well... pinker than usual," she chuckles

[10:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: " I don't usually drink." Is the only thing she says and eats the, probably cold, food in front of her.

[10:01 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ah, what's the occasion?"

[9:57 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Jus a little chattin' is all. Who's this fellow?" Urrak turns to Ravaphine

[9:59 PM] DM: He's a dwarf, brown skin, dark hair and braided beard, wearing traveling clothes. He looks like a mixture of bored and irritated, and he's standing maybe a touch too close to Ravaphine.

[10:01 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "This is...you know, I never got your name" Ravaphine says while stepping slightly away from the dwarf. "He transports ore to this town"

[10:01 PM] DM: "Belrom."

[10:02 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "A workin' man. Suits me fine. What kind of ore y'bringin in? A cousin o' mine mines silver in Dragonskeep"

[10:03 PM] DM: Belrom: "Different kinds. Mostly iron."(edited)

[10:04 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Can never 'ave enough iron" Urraks words are beginning to slur ever so slightly

[10:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Ignoring Brimeia, Seirixori turns to Gunnloda, suddenly remembering the tower from earlier. "I know I asked earlier, but are you sure you're ok? I didn't see it, but that height of falling doesn't look fun."

[10:05 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh, no, it knocked the wind clear out of me, but I healed it up all right. Nothing left of it but a bit of a crick in the back."

[10:10 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I'm glad," Seirixori mutters.

[10:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I'm glad to see you are all safe"

[10:09 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia frowns a bit at being ignored but brushes it off quickly enough. She's not unused to a bit of brusqueness, though admittedly not usually from her own kind.

[10:08 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "do tell about your last encounters. have we more components yet?"

[10:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Aye, one more. From damn bird fellow"

[10:09 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "He and that shopkeep were...odd." Ravaphine says while looking at Seirixori.

[10:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Never met a shopkeep, jus that odd bird. And 'is master's tower? A disaster to be sure."(edited)

[10:12 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia shudders at the mention of the tower. "Horrid place," she mutters, mostly to herself

Seir catches Ravaphine's eye, "What?" She  asks, shoving fruit in her mouth.

[10:12 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Seirixori over here charmed the pants off of that shopkeep"

[10:12 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Just about," Brimeia chuckles

[10:13 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori groans and lays her head on the table, "That was the worst idea. "

[10:14 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "well we appreciate your daring sacrifice, Seirixori"

[10:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "It was totally a sacrifice," she says into the table.

[10:14 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ah, reminds me. Yer the wizard 'ere Ravaphine. Can y' tell me what this is?" Urrak pulls out a potion from her pack. It's a green color that slowly changes to the color of clear water towards the top (18). " I haven't a clue and am damn sure not gonna taste test it. Found it in Bakar's tower."(edited)

[10:15 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "What an interesting looking potion" ((do I taste it to find out?))

[10:15 PM] DM: You can.

[10:15 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine holds the bottle up to the light, opens the cap and tries to identify its contents by tasting it(edited)

[10:16 PM] DM: It actually shifts back and forth between vivid green and clear when you move it. It's not layered.

[10:16 PM] DM: It's a potion of acid resistance. It gives you the ability to ignore half damage from acid for an hour.

[10:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "You've got yourself some acid resistance for those nasty spitters coming at you"

[10:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Blessed be. Some protection from all this trouble we seem to end up in"

[10:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh, that reminds me. Here you are, dear..." She reaches in her pack and hands Seirixori the two scrolls Seirixori'd given her in panther form. "I'm afraid I couldn't read them."

[10:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh! Thanks, I forgot about these." Seirixori opens one to see if she can read them. ((Even though I can't roll for anything heeeey lmao))

[10:22 PM] DM: You can't read them either.

[10:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I can take a gander at them if you would like"

[10:24 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori hands the scrolls to Ravaphine, "Have fun. "

[10:26 PM] DM: Ravaphine- you can tell by looking at the scrolls that they're scrolls of Unseen Servant and Alarm. You can use scrolls to cast the spell one time without using spell slots, or you can copy them into your spellbook with the right items, but the scroll is lost when you do.

[10:06 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna looks up from her work at Gunnloda's comment. "I suppose a good meal would suit me well, though I'm not one usually for the family dinner scene." Enna picks up her arrows and makes her way over to the table

[10:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda gestures at the platter full of breads, meats, cheese, and fruit. "We've got plenty of food, but to be honest, I was hoping to talk to you about that scene with the new dragonborn fellow."

[10:09 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna's shoulders raise ever so slightly and she begins to pick at her bracer. "Can't be too careful, with everyone popping in and out. Didn't know where he'd arrived from, is all."

[10:11 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Seemed a bit harsher than necessary. Do you have problems with dragonkin?"

[10:13 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "It's not the dragonkin part of him I have a problem with, I assure you. I don't have much patience or respect for those who tinker with the unnatural order of things."

[10:14 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "And what exactly constitutes 'unnatural'?"

[10:19 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Creatures were not meant to be built by men. Constructs, undead, anything not by the gods, they have no will of their own, shambling corpses obeying to no fault."

[10:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda turns back to Enna. "I'm not fond of the undead myself, but surely something as cute as Reyes can't be bad."

[10:21 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "The tinkerer and his wind up toy truly ruffled your feathers there, eh elf?"

[10:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Did someone mention Reyes? I'm quite proud of her to be honest"

[10:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Also hello everyone!"

[10:23 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Eeeey it's th' tin man 'imself!"

[10:23 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Let's just say I have reason to be wary of someone showing up near my person accompanied by a construct."

[10:24 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I see... well, can we at least agree to keep it civil and avoid demanding our allies strip at your command?"

[10:24 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna anxiously adjusts her bracer and notices the dragonborn entering the tavern. "Speaking of."

[10:24 PM] DM: Belrom perks up. "Did someone say strip?"

[10:25 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Hello! Have a seat." Ravaphine pulls out a chair for the new face "I don't think we've met before"

[10:25 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I didn't-- sigh I was looking for something as a precaution, I'm not about to proposition you all."(edited)

[10:26 PM] DM: Belrom: "Usually I might not mind a proposition, elf, but you seem a bit too prickly for my taste."

[10:28 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "... it would seem I've missed quite a bit?"

[10:29 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "One thing y'haven't missed is a drink. 'Ere" Urrak hands a full cask of ale to Nolanos

[10:29 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Well that's a shame," Brimeia chuckles at Enna's last statement

[10:30 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna catches Brimeia's response to her comment, opens her mouth to say something and finds herself speechless, closes her mouth again, not sure how to comment

[10:29 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "This town isn't the only thing here that can make people disappear, dwarf. I'd watch your mouth were I you." She says to Belrom with a wry smile

[10:29 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori awkwardly makes her way under the table to get out,  "Right,  I'll be back. " and she heads outside to the citrus grove for a short time to breathe a little and give herself some much needed space.

[10:29 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Well thank you, friend" Nolanos gladly accepts the beverage " cheers!"

[10:30 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos raises his glass, motioning to clink

[10:30 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak raises her cask "Cheers, scalemale'

[10:31 PM] DM: Belrom turns to Ravaphine. "So... you wanna get out of here now or wait around a bit?"

[10:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Lookit this cheeky dwarf. Y'two have a lil  midnight rendezvous planned?" Urrak says, with a tipsy grin

[10:35 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: " I'll have you know, my heart sadly belongs to another" Ravaphine says as she remembers the blue-haired beauty from the other day

[10:35 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Oh? Do tell! ..er if you dont mind, that is"

[10:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Rava's got a crush she 'as"

[10:36 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine coughs and snaps out of her daydream. "it's uh, somebody back home"

[10:36 PM] DM: Belrom frowns. "Right. Should'a known better than to keep following you crazy people around." He leaves to refill his mug.

[10:37 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Gonna give the man the smallest case 'o blue balls ever recorded"

[10:37 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak laughs at her own dumb joke and finishes her ale

[10:40 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Honestly I should have expected that from him" Ravaphine says, also chuckling at Urrak's joke

[10:41 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "So, what is your name" she asks the unfamiliar face at the table "I've heard about your last adventure. I'm glad you made it out of there okay" ( @Alex - Nolanos )

[10:42 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna turns to speak to Nolanos. "Apologies about my...overreaction earlier. It's not often I find myself  with company like yours as an ally rather than an enemy"

[10:44 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori comes back with a few of the citrus fruits, eating one as she attempts to get back to her seat, "Did the creepy guy leave yet?"

[10:44 PM] DM: You see him at the bar, scoping out the place to find his next target.

[10:44 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Nope."

[10:45 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "If he's botherin' ye, I can always dropkick 'im out th' door. Like puntin' a ball..."

[10:46 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I would rather be hit on by you than be anywhere near that guy," she says to Brimeia, "that is not an invitation. "

[10:49 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak laughs heartily for a good while, calming down to earnestly say "Don't worry, Bri, we'll find ye a girl soon."

[10:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia chuckles, "I'm not sure if I should be flattered or wounded."

[10:49 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I think the only hitting anybody will be doing is Urrak hitting that guy's head over the bar"

[10:49 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "We can insist he desist if you want."

[10:50 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak wipes a small tear of laughter away, "Cannae do that. It'd splatter like a tomato"

[10:50 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "That's not a mess I'd like to clean up."

[10:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "The dwarf clearly wanted one thing, and Rav 'ere is savin it fer someone special"(edited)

[10:51 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Do you lot have any loved ones back home? Parents, spouses, children?"

[10:51 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "This an interview?" Urrak gives a cheeky grin

[10:52 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Just missing my mom back home, so I was wondering if any of you were also missing your loved ones"

[10:52 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Nope." Seirixori says, shoving the fruit in her mouth.

[10:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Not that I'm missing, exactly. Haven't seen my folks in years. Should probably visit sometime."

[10:54 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak sighs, her eyes dropping to the table "... Me mum's back at the stronghold. She's old, gettin older, she'll not be able t'work soon. Promised I'd visit soon but all this mess is cloggin up the works, as they say"(edited)

[10:54 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine notices Enna's change in demeanor and hands her some fruit

"Thank you." Enna says to Ravaphine.

[10:54 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: Brimeia looks over at Enna, who hasn't touched her ale. "Well, you aren't going to let perfectly good ale go to waste, are you?" She raises her tankard toward the elf.

[10:56 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: She replies to Brimeia, "I suppose not" She raises her tankard, and takes a sip

[10:57 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori steals whatever ale is closest to her and drinks the whole thing, "I thought we were done with the family talk." She hiccups, having drank the ale way too fast.

[10:58 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Oh dear... are you sure you want to... maybe water?"

[10:58 PM] Kyris - Brimeia: "Ha. That's the spirit!" Brimeia chuckles

[10:59 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Now it's a party"

[10:59 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Doesn't have to be family. Could be friends too. Or animals" Ravaphine makes her way to the bar and avoids eye contact with the dwarf while she grabs a few cups of water and hands one to Seirixori(edited)

[10:59 PM] DM: Belrom has since moved to sit at a table with a few tipsy people.

[11:00 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "You mentioned someone at home, Ravaphine. Question is, is she cute?"

[11:01 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Nope, those are all dead too." Seirixori looks at Gunnloda, "you're pretty. But I think maybe ale works better with family talks. I tried to leave and I came back. Why did I come back?"

[11:02 PM] DM: Gunnloda makes the 'aww' face again. "Come sit down before you fall over. You should probably eat too."

[11:02 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna, replying to Ravaphine's earlier question"I keep to myself, mostly. There were folks once, but..it's been some time." Enna raises her arm, scratching the back of her head as if she also is attempting to avoid the family conversation. She takes a swig of her ale.

[11:03 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I don't think I've ever seen such a lightweight Tiefling" Urrak chuckles

[11:04 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: Seirixori shrugs and does as Gunnloda says, "I've only done this once. Once? Yes, it was a Bad Time."

[11:05 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine purposefully avoids Urrak's question and focuses on hydrating her friends

[11:05 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Done... what? Drinking?"

[11:06 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Yes. Drinking. After they all died."

[11:06 PM] DM: Gunnloda sets a couple of biscuits in front of Seirixori with a mug of water.

[11:06 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: Martyn, having arrived in the town square, makes haste for the Cask, where he hears quite a lot of commotion. he barges through the door and declares, "You better have left a tankard for me."

[11:06 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Martyyyyyyynnnn!"

[11:07 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I think he might make for as big an entrance as Brimeia."

[11:07 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Bloody hell did you leave me anything to drink? You look sloshed enough i might as well hand you an oar to row your way home!"

[11:08 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Orc's don't get drunk, they get fun"

[11:09 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "I may very well agree to that if you'll pour me a bit of fun, too."(edited)

[11:09 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "welcome back Martyn! What will you be having?"

[11:10 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Something tall and strong and since I can't drink urrak, i'll have whatever she's having."

[11:10 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine brings over two glasses of ale for Martyn

[11:11 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Y'tryin it make a move on me elf? 'Friad yer barkin up the wrong tree" Urrak laughs and grabs an apple

[11:12 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna sips her drink and does a subtle snort-laugh into her ale as she hears Urrak's response to Martyn

[11:12 PM] DM: Gunnloda sort of leans over and encourages Seirixori to eat some of the biscuits.

[11:14 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Oh, more food, ok." Seirixori starts picking them apart, only eating small bits of it, not really noticing that she's pretty much destroying them with her fidgeting.

[11:12 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "I fear I left what whit i had at the last town and am only now left with bottomless thirst and pockets too light for their own good."

[11:13 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Then yer luckily the ale is free"

[11:14 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "i'll drink to that!" Marytn tips the first glass back, and chugs it down. he shudders a little. "I've no idea what it was but i'd like another."

[11:14 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "It's astounding that the amount of ale has barely seen a dent."

[11:15 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Perhaps Poni's ridiculous proclivity with portals has yieldled portly results to the supplies of palatable ale."

[11:15 PM] DM: Gunnloda frowns. "It's something I am worried about, though. The food more than the ale."

[11:15 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Poni is useless. He cannot help." Seirixori mutters around the food.

[11:16 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Magic ale? Now that's somethin I can get behind"(edited)

[11:16 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Too right but i wonder if your resentment at Poni is directed solely at our diminutiive friend or at something larger."

[11:16 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Where is poni?"

[11:17 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "if the gods are kind on me in any regard today, then far away from here."

[11:17 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Sitting in his basement, where he can't mess with us or tell us what to do, for once"

[11:18 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "He couldn't help me with my mother, so I left him in the basement...and I think I might have knocked things over too." She shrugs drinking the water Gunnloda gave her.

[11:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "A place of this kind, in this place... it probably sees a hundred or more meals a day, easy, and there aren't that many of us coming through, but the food will go bad or run out eventually if we don't find a way to restock... and you folks will eventually put a dent in the alcohol stores as well."

[11:17 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Why worry about the food given how much we can drink? the rest will sort itself in the morn."

[11:18 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Here's hoping this'll be over before all that befalls us"

[11:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda lifts her mug. "By the grace of Olladra."(edited)

[11:18 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I noticed a few boats at the dock earlier. Not sure if anybody knows how to operate but maybe people who do can head to neighboring towns and replenish the stock"

[11:18 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "That would require luck, and given how our outings have gone, luck appears to be in short supply." martyn's mood sours and he stares into his drink. he drinks more.

[11:19 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "I can always find us food, if there's a forest nearby."

[11:20 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna waves her bow "Best damn hunter this side of....wherever the hell we are, over here. We won't be in want of food."

[11:23 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Embarrassed, Nolanos snaps out of the stupor he seemed to have been stuck in and  focuses extra hard on the conversations around him "sorry about that. I uh... i don't normally drink?" Its a feeble excuse, he knows, even though its not exactly the truth(edited)

[11:20 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "What's Poni t' do about yer mother, Ser?"

[11:21 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "He can find people with their things," she points to the bow on her back, "but I've had it for too long now."(edited)

[11:21 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Ye've nothin' else o' hers?"

[11:22 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "You wanted Poni to find your mum, Sierixori?"

[11:22 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I've never actually seen you use that bow, now that you mention it. Why waste such an elegant tool?"

[11:22 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Just the bow. I had it before all the stuff," Seirixori mutters into her water.

[11:23 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "The stuff?"

[11:25 PM] Felicia - Seirixori: "Stuff. Im gonna go lie down i think. Maybe Urrak and Gunnloda can fill you in." She stands a little wobbly but makes her way up the stairs to the first free bed she can find.

[11:26 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm going to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. I'll be back soon." She follows Seirixori up, making sure she doesn't fall down the stairs.

[11:26 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Night, Seirixori!"

[11:26 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Sleep well Seirixori!"

[11:29 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "She's been through a lot, that one. Seems her mother's the only one she's got left and she's missin'. Don't blame 'er fer bein' upset. I'd be the same"

[11:30 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Agreed." Martyn leans in. "Out of idle curiosity, any way we could lend a hand? She's trying to track her mum; might be we could do a bit to help potentially."

[11:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Poni can track folks if he uses something of theirs. No way t' know but maybe we can find somethin of Seri's mums?"

[11:32 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "I'd like t'help her. I know how that separation feels"

[11:33 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "We can try that bow of hers. Wouldn't hurt to give it a go"

[11:34 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I wouldn't be opposed to such. I have a feeling that Tiefling and I have more in common than originally thought. I'd like to do what I can to help."

[11:34 PM] DM: You all suddenly hear a collective gasp and an echoing crack fill the air, and turning, you can see Belrom holding his face and a rather upset young human woman shaking her hand.

[11:35 PM] DM: Belrom stands, knocking his chair over, spits on the floor, and walks out.

[11:35 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "First of all do we get involved in that"

[11:35 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "Horny bastard", Urrak chuckles softly "Anyway, I've 'ad my share of ale t'night as well. Figure I should sleep this off. Evenin' t' you all"

[11:35 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: "And I suggest ye don't" she says to Martyn

Martyn: "Fair 'nuff."

[11:35 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: Enna turns to the human woman. "I suppose Belrom bit off more than he could chew again."

[11:36 PM] Wingy - Urrak D'Akshi: Urrak walks upstairs to find a place to rest

[11:36 PM] DM: The woman looks at Enna. "You know him?"

[11:37 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "Tried to proposition less than appropriate things with some of us tonight. If he bothers you again, we'll see him off"

[11:38 PM] DM: Woman: "I think he ran off."

[11:37 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Well then... do we ask Gunnloda to take the bow? or wait until the morning to talk to Seirixori about it? Given how drunk she was, i'm not sure waiting till the morn is ideal. She might not want our help then."

[11:38 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: "I don't think Seirixori would want to talk about this again in the morning"

[11:38 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "I'd imagine she might want to have a say in what happens regarding something so personal."

[11:39 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Who knows, she may take the help we offer positively.."

[11:39 PM] Jaymes - Ravaphine: Ravaphine nods her head to her group and heads outside into the citrus grove

[11:39 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Agreed. that's the tricky bit in't it? We act on her behalf but without her permission, we risk her fury. we ask her permission, she may not allow us to help."

[11:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I for one don't like asking forgiveness, especially for something so... huge from a friend "

[11:41 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "She should be involved in this"

[11:42 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "That's a point." Martyn finishes his pint. "Might be we get permission more easily if the right person asks. We oughta ask Gunnloda."

[11:43 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "Seems like a sound plan to me"

[11:46 PM] DM: Gunnloda does come back down after several minutes, sits back in her seat, and takes another drink of her ale.

[11:47 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Gunnloda! Friend. you hungry? Thirsty? need a refill?"

[11:48 PM] DM: Gunnloda smiles. "No, dear. I've got plenty."

[11:48 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Ah. well. that's quite alright." Martyn gives up. "Look, we had a proposition we wanted to put to you."

[11:49 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles.  "There hasn't been enough propositioning tonight?"

[11:50 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Not that kind of proposition." martyn shakes his head. "Honest. it's something that me, Enna, and urrak were discussing earlier."(edited)

[11:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda reaches out to the platter and takes some of the soft cheese to spread on a biscuit. "I'm listening."

[11:54 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Seirixori is good people. she takes care of us. And she opened up a bit tonight about what's driving her. And how Poni could help her find her mum. we want to help, too."

[11:56 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Helping a friend is a kind gesture."

[11:57 PM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "We'd need her bow. and given how much she drank tonight, there's a better'n fair chance that if we asked outright, she'd turn us down flat. But, if someone a bit closer to her asked the same question, offered to help. she might be wiling. that's why i'm talking to you."

[11:59 PM] DM: Gunnloda raises an eyebrow. "You think because a woman got drunk and called me pretty I'm any closer to her than the rest of you? Besides, didn't she say she tried to use the bow, but Poni couldn't do it?"

[12:00 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "She said that she feared she'd held on to it too long, meaning whatever Poni could divine from it in the form of tracking was limited. I didnt get that she'd actually tried outright already."

[12:04 AM] DM: Gunnloda thinks for a moment. "I don't really remember what she said, but I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable asking. If she wants to try, she can try. Honestly, I think I'll probably try to forget everything she said tonight unless she says it again sober. Doesn't feel right to hold a drunken tongue against her."

[12:05 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "You've a point." Martyn nods. "Thought i'd try anyway."

[12:08 AM] DM: She nods at Martyn. "You can try just letting her know that you'd help her if she decided to take action herself. No need to be sneaky about it."

[12:09 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "I'll bear it to mind, certainly," martyn lifts his tankard. "Thanks."

[11:46 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "So.. enna... I know we've already spoken on this subject,  but I would like to apologize once more for making you so uncomfortable that first day we met."(edited)

[11:48 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "About my...overreaction earlier. It's not often I find myself  with company like yours as an ally rather than an enemy"

[11:48 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "The last thing i had hoped for was such a rough first impression.  I didn't mean to dig anything up for you.

[11:51 PM] Alex - Nolanos: "I will proudly be your ally,  Enna, and hopefully your friend as well." Nolanos offers a warm smile and holds out his hand " if you'd like, i mean" he adds

[11:52 PM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Answer me a questioon, please. What drove you to create your....companion?"

[11:57 PM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos thinks for a moment, seemingly lost in memories. "I.. i've never really been great at talking to most people. That is to say,  I've had friends, but never good ones. Never ones that stood the test of time. As such, my passions were steered toward science."

[12:00 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "One day, the day i finally was able to make reyes work, actually, i realized that  i somehow felt more at ease speaking to her than to my peers, even though she can't exactly respond..."

[12:00 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "From people I've encountered who create constructs like Reyes...that passion towards science very quickly turned to dark magic. I've seen some abominations come to life, and a lot of suffering come to pass to gather the materials for such"

[12:05 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "Im sorry, i understand this might not sound... well. It might not sound too great, frankly. I detest dark magic as well. No amount of darkness is worth the sacrifice of good, of light."

[12:07 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "There is a line, and i do not intend to cross it."(edited)

[12:07 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Sorry, what's this about lines and crossing then?"

[12:08 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "It's not just magic that can tempt someone to that path, though, you know. There are a lot of different ways someone can find themselves in the service of something greater and darker than they'd initially thought."

[12:10 AM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos hesitates for a moment, before asking, "what... what happened in your past? I dont mean to be rude or to pry, i only mean to understand..."(edited)

[12:12 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "I-if you dont feel comfortable sharing it with me, thats completely understandable" he hastily adds

[12:17 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "Stick around me long enough, and it's bound to come rearing it's head after me sooner or later. Maybe you'll get a front row seat. I hope for your sake though, I sneak up on it first."

[12:19 AM] Leigh- Enna Meliamne: "With that, I think it's time for me to retire. A good night out under the stars sounds nice." Enna drains the rest of her tankard and cinches her bow back onto its sling and makes her way outside

[12:19 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "I hope you rest soundly, my.. friend?"

[12:20 AM] DM: Gunnloda sighs. "That one might need more work than any of the rest."

[12:22 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "That may be so, but i know she means well."

[12:22 AM] DM: She smiles at you. "You're a forgiving soul."

[12:24 AM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos smiles back, shrugging, "I can't help it, its in my nature."

[12:25 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "Lord knows its gotten me hurt before, but it doesnt seem right to pass that hurt over to people who have done nothing to deserve it"

[12:26 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "It's sadly rare to hear that kind of philosophy."

[12:29 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: "Well this was an exciting night. Hate to cap it early, but the ale's gone to me head and me head's gonna find a pillow. night all."

[12:29 AM] Jonathan- Martyn Hornback: and with that, Martyn drags himself upstairs

[12:30 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "Night martyn"

[12:31 AM] DM: Gunnloda: "I think it might be about that time. I'm glad you've found your space here in the group so quickly, Nolanos. Good night."

[12:31 AM] Alex - Nolanos: "It has indeed been eventful. Sleep well, Gunnloda"

[12:32 AM] DM: She smiles, stands, fills a mug with water and takes it and a biscuit upstairs to leave by Seirixori for when she wakes up in the morning.

[12:38 AM] Alex - Nolanos: Nolanos smiles after her. After a moment, he looks into his pint, sighing lightly. He takes one last sip before standing and heading upstairs, thinking tonight was the best night in a long time.

Day 2 - Day 4
