Esterson Session 10
General Summary
I have done all I could to investigate into this Petton Dyrovius figure. The problem is that he has very few records within Renaki’s University. The most we know about him officially is that he has provided new insights and teachings that helped push our understanding of the planar worlds.
I’m always one to be skeptical of clients. Especially a powerful one such as Dyrovius. He wants us to find his spellcasting dog that went missing in an unknown temple. Quite frankly all of this sets both me and Remus uneasy. Stay watchful of whatever comes next. Even Cardinal Atticus doesn’t like him.
Before Heading Out
Mr. Mayhew’s Warning
During the night, Albert Mayhew sneaks his way over to the guild hall. He is quick to reach Remus and Welma about a dire circumstance. He informs them that Cardinal Julian Atticus of the Reverie had convinced her majesty, Queen Amelia Dundragon, about enlisting the Civil Guard in order to hunt down Petton Dyrovius. They at least know this Hall was his last known origin.
Sen’s Teaching
In the morning, after being briefed on what little information is known about Petton’s request, Sen brings along Anthell to the backyard for training. There, he intends to motivate him:
Sen watches with folded arms, leaning on the storage, as Anthell strikes at the practice dummies. The monk jumps up to try a twist spin kick but gets his foot caught against the dummy’s neck than really hitting it. He falls, tumbling onto the ground. He groans as he sits up.
Sen shakes his head, “I can tell you’re frustrated,” he steps forward, kneeling by his side, “You’re impatient, anxious, even. I take it all the pressure is bothering you?”
Anthell sighs, “How can you tell?”
Sen shrugs, “You tried the same spin kick your sister finished you off with back in your sparring match with her. Just a hunch.”
Anthell groans, “Fine. I will admit I am impatient. I am tired of everyone telling me I am incapable. I wish to prove them otherwise!”
Sen smirks, “I know the feeling. Because here’s what you’re going to do. If you keep practicing like that, then you’re going to keep falling. Instead, focus on us,” he points over at the guild hall, “We brought you in knowing what potential you have. I have heard what you can do and you’re going to show us that, understood?”
Anthell nods, then stands back up. He tries another spin kick but misses the dummy entirely.
Sen sighs, “Try again,” he simply states.
Anthell stands up, trying another spin kick. This time, his feet only brush alongside the head.
Sen hollers to him, “Do want to be a disciple or not, boy? Try again!”
Anthell, pants, standing up. He does another spinning kick, this time striking the head, nearly nocking the heard loose as only a small cluster of hay keeps it intact.
Sen smiles, applauding, “That’s how it’s done!”
Search for Spud
Inquisitive Guards
A goliath named Uthro and an avian named Aurdur, who are part of the Civil Guard, stop and question Maedhros, Altor, and Antharine, as Johan and Darwin had snuck ahead to find Petton. As for the other three, Maedhros feigned speaking Common fluently, thus Uthro looked to Antharine as his translator. As they were leaving, Altor managed to trick Aurdur into pointing where “Petton” was.
Once at Petton’s home, the Civil Guard returned. Petton requested that the party try their best to distract the guard while Petton made last-minute preparations. The longer they could stall, the better! Darwin feigned speaking as Talmek to scare the guard, Johan even used a sound recorder to play back Uthro’s voice.
Once Cardinal Atticus’ patience had waned, he stormed into the house himself. Though, Petton was prepared! He unfurled his veil around the party and they vanished off elsewhere.
Different World
The party had wound up in Turnerford Castle, some unknown castle that isn’t even within the Kingdom of Ardentry. The baron of the castle, Percival Holm, explained that they were no longer in Faunerro, they were within a new world called Florenelle.
Once Petton had obtained what he needed, he brought the party along to this Kithrali Temple that resides within the Astral Sea. They heard strange ethereal barking in the distance and followed the source to a coffin. A massive being with a slit down its abdomen resided within and was still conscious. It questioned the party about how Faunerro was doing, eager to hear how it was doing, oddly enough. This “creator” explained all kinds of facets of the creation, how vren were the first race to be created.
Once resolved, the renowned One in Yellow, Kordgelle, manifested with the dog, thanking the party for the hospitality to his fellow creator. He then returned the party back home, as Petton had rewarded them with magic items.
