october 23rd pt 2

Gossamer took first watch but noticed nothing in particular. However, when Mavka awoke, her prosthetic leg was missing, along with some of her arrows and her money. She messaged Zund, furious, and all Zund did was laugh. Eventually, she found her prosthetic limb at the top of a tree. She tried and failed twice to climb it, to Zund's great enjoyment. Eventually, Mavka gave up, sitting with her leg dangling off the edge of a cliff. Hours went by. The sun set. Eventually, the rest of the party woke up.

Helio tried to help Mavka get her leg down, to no avail. Caeli's attempt was also futile. Gossamer, however, retrieved it with no problem, but only after a small crowd had grown to watch. She cut it down, and it fell on Helio's head. Mavka, more embarrassed than she had ever been in her life, put it back on with Karaa's help.

Caeli sent a message to Travis while Gossamer tried to send a message via Kendrick, who wanted to get us all to leave. Mavka tried to sense the orb with Locate Object, and through there might have been something nearby, but Gossamer didn't think it wise to leave on bad terms. Mavka decided to leave and tried to put it out of her mind that this decision may have prohibited any chance of her ever returning home.

Kendrick rounded the party up to send them through the teleportation circle. Mavka went through last.

Obrius, Kendrick's fisherman contact, met them on the other side of the circle. His house was small for a dragonborn of his size. He told us that we were in Valgan, a village in Yovell. The last time it happened was 700 years ago. Baldirth was the capital. When the party left his house, it was morning. There was a very thick fog covering everything as far as the eye could see. Obrius directed them to a tavern.

Most of the people living here were mainly white dragonborn folks, wearing thick, warm robes. The party found the tavern eventually and went inside. Mavka ordered two drinks, one for her and one for Karaa. The tavernkeep said to take 800 paces in a certain directions, say hi to Suzie, take a leftish-rightish, go under the bridge, take a boat, wave at the ocean, go South-North, 6,432 paces and then you'll get there. Suzie is the town aunt.

Mavka took the shot she ordered in one gulp and got blackout drunk, instantly. Karaa, however, was entirely unaffected. The barkeep gave Mavka a tankard of something that she was too drunk to taste, but it was delicious nonetheless. Helio ordered a beer. Mavka danced with Karaa for a bit, played the Kalimba that Karaa bought her, then sat down at the table with everyone else. Karaa mended the broken instrument that Caeli had gotten, and then Caeli went to go play dragonchess with a local gnome.

Gossamer went to talk to a woman who appeared to be a tiefling and dragonborn, wearing a blindfold around her eyes. She said her name was Zema Ladarke and she was waiting for her friend, Carter, who was from Onotara. He had been looking for Jackman's Orb, also known as the Orb of Dragonkind. Gossamer remembered Carter had said something about a friend that had saved his life, and that some of his magical powers had even come from her.

Meanwhile, Karaa was in the process of getting as drunk as Mavka.

Caeli, Gossamer, and Helio ditched blacked-out Karaa and Mavka to go shopping. They bought some baked goods and candy, and Gossamer bought a pretty teapot. After that, they went to a smithy shop, where Helio ordered a prosthetic finger and a couple daggers.

When they got back, Helio made the mistake of giving one of his new dagger to Mavka, who gave it to Karaa because she said she wanted to stab someone and Mavka wanted to be supportive. Helio did eventually get the dagger back, and struggled to sheath it as he himself was a bit tipsy.

Gossamer, Helio, and Caeli went upstairs to talk to Zema. Gossamer gave her the teapot and candy. They started talking about the celestial event and magical powers. After getting Karaa and Mavka upstairs to bed, the three of them went to go take a bath at a nearby lake. They got to talking about relationships and Helio told the other two about how he'd met a fire genasi, Rhyo, and they'd formed a relationship even though they were on opposite sides. As Gossamer was trying to avoid the topic, her alarm went off.

She sent a message to Mavka, who heard someone rummaging around in their room. Mavka asked Karaa to unlock it, which she did, and inside they found Yip-Yip! Caeli started preparing for a girls' night by stealing Mavka's blanket. After that, Mavka joined the others in their relationship talk.
