Session 20 - 11/10/2024
***the story so far***
Phoenix expains that there's a lot of fake ones, but there's a real one. It takes YEARS off your life. It doesn't extend your life however much you drink. I can't tell if he's trying to deceive me, but he's very interested in the vial, despite being low-energy.
I input a sigil lock onto the Potion of Shimmering Blood [Radiant: ᚱ/Bludgeoning: ᛒ/Force: ᛉ].
At the remainder of the night, before we head off to bed, our party takes some time to explore town, visit the shops, and meet up with some old friends.
Willow decides to check up on Brynhill.
Willow uses Knock on the poor door and it fucking SHATTERS. Pretty much the entire town of Tralljor hears this Knock. Everything inside Brynhill's house is neatly organized - there's one bed, with a pillow and blanket next to it.

I find my party members at the bar - Willow is *really* upset.
After prodding the rest of the bar members as to what happened, I gather that Willow learned some upsetting news. I console Willow, who is receptive.
Willow is upset as she spotted Brynhill walking around town holding hands with someone. Willow is madly in love with Brynhill (very important).

Tseren tells us that Brynill is visiting a friend who came out of town, and Willow starts crying. Tseren is unsure how to respond, and offers lodging.
We enter and drop our stuff on in Tseren's house. We are greeted by a Tseren's father, who snaps his fingers and remembers that HE is the one who hired us to distribute flyers. Tseren's father pulls out a bag of golden coins and pays us each 3 coins (I hold on to Roger's coins until we meet up again).
Tseren lets slip that Brynhill missed band practice today, and that Chono left for Ezlekh, for some reason.
We hear a commotion to the East - Willow thinks it could be Brynhill.
We investigate and find
