Episode 12: The Electors

We begin at the tavern. Epiphany hears something that sounds like scraping and picking at our doorknob. Charle hears it too and opens the door. It's stink trying to pick the lock. Stink asks for something to shoot out of his crossbow. Charle roots through stinks bag to find some and feels a dead animal in there. Charle ignores it and finds the bolts.
 
The squishy thing stink had was a dead house cat. Charle tells him to wake up Jackyr. Jackyr is very is very hung over.
 
Coffee shops in Constance: Just south of the Arena a cafe and bistro that is a little more expensive. It's called the lemon and basil.
 
Charle and Ibruc go to the lemon and basil
Epiphany goes to the bun shop
Jackyr and Stink hang out at the room in the inn.
 
As epiphany is heading back there is an older man with a push cart walking. He looks up at her and asks if she needs help with that. She says no and says that he should "check us out at the arena, we are putting on a good show!"
 
The lemon and basil has an open seating area that's fenced off. The front of the building is all glass. They are greeted by a young human with slick black short hair. He has a curled mustaceh and wears small glasses.
 
Jackyr talks with Stink. We find out that Stinks little brothers had to be put on a leash when they were younger. and when they were zombified.
 
Jackyr leaves 2 gold behind the counter with a note and pays up for 4 more days.
 
We get in line for the arena. Kester sees and says we are right on time. He says we are up against the fated few. He pulls a woman that works at the arena over. Her name is Alyssa. She is going to act as our Lieson. Jackyr juggles and throws a dagger at the wall. We find out that Alyssa is a changling and also what epiphany really looks like.
 
We learn that we are going to just have a team battle.
 
We fight and the Jungle Bitties win.
 
We collect 100gp each. The gnome that gives it to us is Dremlen with the slicked up hair. We find out that our next bout is going to be in about 8 days. He will double check with Mr. Clem and get in touch with us. Visit back in 2 weeks if we don't hear anything. Jackyr can tell Dremlin is being kind of Superficial with his gestures but he's smooth about it and it's very well hidden but he's doing it out of respect.
 
As we walk off we hear a heightened voice as someone says "man that was an impressive fight" it's commander Ezra. In his left ear he has a silver feather and is weearing ceremonial armor. He has a decorated scabbord fastened to his waste with a blade in it. Ezra tells us that the twins and the electors want to meet us at the wing of vessus in 2 days. Alot of the higher ups are excited to meet with us. They have a good proposition for us. Ezra pulls out a button that looks like a feather thats 2 to 3 inches long that's metallic. "keep that iwht you just for now. I've already established with the owner in plumecrest plaza at the songbird inn. They'll have rooms available on behalf of the city. Few halflings named lewis and rewis. Chamberlin Nazir will find us when they are ready. Stink will be allowed. Epiphany has the feather pin.
 
Ezra tells us they think they know what's going on with the stables but they will be around watching us.
 
We go to the song bird in. There's a big wall and inside is a mass of 3 sturctures. The songbird is an umbrella name for the 3 buildings there. The largest of the three is the inn. There's alot of windows. There's a bunch of rooms. Across form it is what looks like a restaurant. It's called the cool cat. There is another building that doesn't have a sign but looks like part of the song bird inn.
 
We enter the inn. It's a large open area. It's not a tavern. It's a foyer. There is a bar with people sitting at and there's a line. Unlike other bars, this is much more quiet and seemingly higher class. Behind the wrap around counter is a halfling. They are dark skinned with a shaved head. They have a larger halfling nose. There's a line of people standing there. Stink impatiently waits with us. Rewis. Epiphany hands the feather to charle and charle shows it to Rewis. We find out that we are getting the best lodging possible and it's paid for by the city. There's only 2 rooms but there is multiple beds. He files some paperwork and signs some things. We get 2 fine steel keys that are large. Our rooms are in the separate structure. That's where all of the nicer rooms are. It'll be on the first level in the hallway between the steps. Room 1 on the right and room 2 on the left. They offer room service 24/7 with cool cat across the way. We can request more towels or fresh bathing water. There's a main bed and a smaller one. The table next to the bed will have a small stone to invoke requests. Food and such is included.
 
We go to the song bird. The food smells amazing and it's spiced. We walk in and see a large dining area. There is a long line that we walked into that leads up to a large wrap around area. In the center is a large grill that we see alot of people flipping food around. There's multiple people servicing people. It looks like a wrapped up veggies and protien. There is a tabaxi working the grill. He confirms we are with the city.
 
We go to burnished beauty. The studded leather is is 40gp and the leather is 8gp. We find out that right across form the songbird to the north there is a clothing shop called radiance. Stink gets a big cloud and 3 lightning bolts on the front of his armor. Charle gets studded leather. Ash gives a quick glance with a relieved nervousness at Jackyr when we reveal that we are staying in town for a while. The 2nd bandelier would be free. For every challenge we partake as a group in the arena sporting burnished beauty creations they will pay us all 200gp. We get half off of our purchases there.
 
"This is going be a nice healthy relationship"
 
We let Ginny know we are staying somewhere. We get a letter sealed in an envelope. Some weird person came in late last night. The letter says:
There's a scuff of dirt on the back
'Gwendolyn, I suggest we talk. There's numbers 1304 deepwater the rookmoors. First dawn tomorrow!'
 
We go to the essential ingredient. It's a frizzled haired half elf named Den. Jackyr gets a teapot and tea infuser. Charle gets light headed with how many smells are going on here. Charle doesn't find what he's looking for but does find a potion of poison. The shop carries greater healing, elixir of health, fire breath, potion of climbing, potion of gaseous form, potion of growth, potion of animal friendship. This person makes high level potions and almost never stops.
 
We go to find the tattoo shop. Gru is the dwarf who does the tattoos. She has heavy side burns and long red hair that is applying some sort of machine to this orcs arm. The dwarf is wearing goggles like a welder. After 15 minutes Gru meets with us.
 
First level is 300gp, second level is 600gp. There is also tattoos to increase ability scores. +1 to respective score at 5k. Stink gets a new tattoo. It's 2 goblins with undead features with storm clouds as back drops.
