Session 23 - 01/14/2025
***the story so far***
 
We headed off to Kavios, the city in the sky.
It's suspended over a chasm after having fallen into The Hollow, held only by bridges on various sides.
In Kavios, Ondska <last name>
's office, located in Anchorville North. I'm visiting Ondska to "collect the bag" and resume my workmanship related to Mystek.
I catch up with Ondska, who asks about Professor Uta, who is apparantly very important to Ondska's work here in Kavios. Unfortunately, Uta is still missing, having been captured during the assault during the Battle of the Bands in Tralljor.
It turns out that Professor Uta is the supreme expert in Mystek from Utdanning, and Ondska would greatly appreciate Uta's genius in this matter.
With Ondska's direction, I leave his office, and go in search of Willow to aid in the rescue of both Uta and Brynhil.
Eventually, I manage to catch up with Willow and the rest of the party, who is walking about with a man named Vikko, the detective assigned to the abduction of Uta and Brynhil. Vikko tries to intimidate me, and I power move Vikko by taking a drag of his cigar. He's mildly amused.
Vikko gives us an update on the investigation - We eventually have to make our way over to the club Dodiikami, on the Southern Cable of town, the prestidgious Bryter family.
Vikko puts the cigar out on his wrist, and says he'll meet us there whether we show up or not.
 
We find ourselves with 8 hours to kill.
During these 6 hours, I convert 20 silver into 2 gold, and then spend 8 of my 11 gold to make a small gold vial which can hold some components, useful for Summon Elemental.
<Rumple finds some gang members in an alley, ones who spited him, and Rumple just kills some bitches. Their souls try to leave, but Rumple steals them ??? >
I also sell my Feathered Bone Sling for some copper pieces, and do some material gathering.
It took me a while, but i did manage to find a potion shop. I purchase one Mind's Eye for 25 silver. #feelingbroke.
 
It's now the evening, so we make our way over to the Dodiikami club, ran by the prestigious Bryter family on the Southern Cable of town. During our journey over there, we find a large Leonin man holding a gnomish figure that looks suspiciously like Rumple. The bouncer tries to crush Rumple's head, but it doesn't seem to work.
This is quite an amusing situation - we watch to see if Rumple can get himself out of this situation.
Rumple kicks the bouncer straight in the teeth. Rumple then joins us.
We have to cross the Southern Cable to cross the Gap, floating away from the cable, swaying and rotating around the cable. We find Vikko, who's standing a couple feet away on the catwalk near the club.
We enter.
There's a wide mix of races in the club, predominantly dwarf, but a few Goliaths, humans, and elves.
I nudge Rumple and point to the absolutely BAKED dwarf, clearly high on Draugur dust. Rumple is struggling to hit it off.
Rumple casually walks off, and finds a tweaked out elf on Draugur Dust. She leans in for a kiss - Rumple slaps her for the attempted kiss. Due to the slap, Rumple feels a breeze passing over him (its so abundantly Draugur Dust in the air).
Willow looks around the club, and notices that everyone here is wearing the same clan garb, and could be responsible for the abduction of Brynhil and Uta.
Willow slides up into the nearest table, and tries to act sultry towards the nearest Goliath and Dwarf. A tanker of ale plops in front of Willow, and the Goliath engages in conversation with Willow, hoping to slam her against a wall later. She identifies the clan symbol as the Raseri.
We met them a lot in Tralljor. The Raseri dwarf indicates in no uncertain terms that "they run this town". Willow takes a sip of ale, and immediately has a flashback to right before the bloodbath of the Battle of the Bands.
Willow wakes back up, groggy, and finds herself covered in dust.
Diaga gets a drink at the bar, and moments later finds himself lying on the ground.
Rumple, having witnessed both Willow and Diaga trip out after consuming ale and beer, proceeds to do the same, and also has a hallucination. Rumple returns, clearly groggy.
Vikke bursts into the club. Roger is scared.
As Vikko walks through the club, eyes turn to stare at him.
Vikko presses the bartender for information to get to Helvetti (?). The bartender refuses. Vikko whips out his lighter, and blasts the bartender squarely with flames.
