Session 13 Notes

YASHIN'S NOTES 07/21/2021 (July 20 in game)

\* Izora makes breakfast treats for the early risers she's on good terms with

\* Carpenters are still working on the place for the next couple of days

\* Mariss composes the invitations for the grand opening party, Mus proposes and writes up inserts for a book drive for Pidge's library

\* Mariss gives invites to Floon & Co to hand out, Mus takes 20 and gives ½ to Auxi via Tumbleworth and slides ½ the rest into residential mail slots in the Castle Ward after failing to get any businesses there to pass them out

\* Noonan and Rev go to visit Pidge, sneaking into the area; Noonan is looking for a hell book and most of the books here are religious or infernal; Noonan donates their (incomplete) autobiography to Pidge

\* Noonan and Rev run into a strange cultist who spills the beans on Izora making a pact

\* Noonan tries to convince the cultist to join our crew instead, which doesn't go well and the cultist stabs Noonan and then taps them on the forehead with the Asmodeus orb and Rev Tolls the Dead on the cultist who then makes their escape

\* Noonan meets Asmodeus: discovers that Alibaster and Asmodeus are enemies, and the latter is the one who trapped the former in the orb; Asmodeus confirms that they met Izora a week ago but denies making a pact

\* Rev accidentally slaps/punches Noonan in the eye trying to wake Noonan up, which Rev feels really badly about but Noonan forgives and jokes about wearing an eye patch like Mus

\* Noonan inspects the hand stealing hole and discovers it is magically connected to the bag of holding and transposes whatever is put into it into the bag (which Mariss has)

\* Noonan and Rev put notes into Mariss's bag, along with a joke book, a dead mouse, and a copy of their unfinished autobiography

\* Izora goes book hunting, looking for something on hell and sacrifices and awkwardly talks the suspicious owner into giving them the books they asked for but then talks them out of it almost immediately; the owner says they want to hear it from Noonan that he intends to sacrifice Izora

\* Izora tries to find the taffy Mariss has at a candy store, and settles for bugs instead (for Noonan), and gets interrogated by an elf guard about whether she knows the plant/bug shop owner and if she's been to the Godcatcher Inn recently and Izora says she knows the owner and hasn't been to the Inn (unconvincingly); the guy left the store and followed Izora to the Awning Portal and just kept going somewhere else

\* Izora attempts to bribe Noonan with bugs to help with the book acquisition and also asks for accomodation to get away from the person who followed them from the store; Mariss sees through it and presess Izora for the truth but Izora just leaves; Noonan agrees to the deal and also Izora and Mus go over to slumber party with Noonan and Rev

\* The bookstore shenanigans ensue as Izora and Noonan attempt to persuade the owner to give Izora their books on hell and sacrifice; Izora gets (maybe?) banned and Noonan gets unbanned; Izora gets the 15 hell books and 2 cook books, but not the sacrifice book

\* A bunch of guards show up at the Yawning Portal, Captain Lafaliir among them, looking for someone who tried to steal from the Godcatcher Inn and describes Izora; Mariss rats on Izora as an evil god worshipper who matches the description and gives her name to the guard as well, then drops Noonan's name as the person Izora is staying with in the North Ward, then shows the guards to Izora's barren room, and denies harboring any other fugitives or murdering anyone; welcomes the captain to attend the party and encourages the posting of guards for the event

\* Slumber party goes down; Mus gives Rev their gift and initially Rev thinks it might be raw meat b/c it's wrapped in butcher paper (but Yashin forgot that Rev loves raw meat so it's glass)

\* The guard comes knocking at Rev and Noonan's place; Noonan buys time and manages to Message a warning to Izora to scram; Izora attempts to flee from off the balcony but gets detected; Noonan gets shackled and starts to get hauled off telling Rev and Mus that they'll be okay

\* We leave off on Izora in the turn order after she's jumped on a guard from the balcony
