6th of Lenzin

by Arlanval Rudra

Well, we left in the morning and headed back to Maford. When we arrived we spoke with Duke Stagdew. He gave us 200 gold apiece for the work done since we returned a lot of the stolen goods. Unfortunately we still weren't able to save any of the bandits' captives.
 
Thankfully my mission was accomplished as he agreed to help Vice Headmaster Drakewarden. I still wish I knew what he wanted a favor for but as usual I doubt he would tell me.
 
Before we left, Duke Stagdew asked Velvet to take a missive to Twin River regarding news of the cult. It was listed as one of the primary targets and they need to be made aware as soon as possible. It was probably a little impulsive of me but I offered to go with her to make sure she got there okay. I'm not exactly expected back any time soon anyway. Eamon probably doesn't care much anyway. Either way the others decided to tag along as well. I'm glad. I still feel a little awkward around them but I guess I'm kind of warming up to them.
 
As far as the ichor, Duke Stagdew wasn't able to help us. He did direct us to some others in town like the proprietress of the Ten of Eyes who may be able to help identify it.
 
While we were leaving some strange man who looked a little similar to Duke Stagdew kind of smugly sized us up. Some tall blonde haired tan skinned guy. Not sure what his deal was...
 
As we left, Velvet was given a token to show the Twin River guards to get the captain's attention. So we're all set. We decided to stick around a little bit to stock back up before we headed out.
 
I felt eyes on me again. Chael and Harper's companion was eyeing me uncomfortably from the cart. I tried my best to avoid eye contact so as to not bother them. What did I do?! I'm sorry!
 
As I did owe them buying a potion, I went to the Ten of Eyes. Ashton and I split the cost of the potion I was owed and I asked her about the ichor. By now it had turned almost gelatinous. She poked and prodded and almost looked like she was going to try tasting it at one point, and she wasn't able to find out much. She said the scent was of iron and sulfur. Some sort of thickly coagulated blood. Also there was some sort of green crystal inside, probably what they were talking about in the journal. She noted it was definitely not a normal gemstone. I paid her for her help and we left. She offered some additional magical scrying but thankfully Harper spoke up and said he could help for free.
 
Harper wasn't able to find out too much more, but come to find out this crystal was some kind of crystallized demon essence. Something you could maybe use to planar shift to a plane you wanted to rather than at random. Some kind of planar attuning rod? Definitely sounding more and more like worse and worse news. And there are definitely more of these out there which is a huge problem.
 
Out of nowhere Harper and Mara decided to play a bit in town, Harper on his violin and Mara on some big... instrument of some kind I'm not familiar with. Part of me wanted to join them but I guess I just felt too awkward. I'll practice later. Maybe that'll ease my nerves.
 
Although while they played I was shocked to find that Chael and Harper's friend was actually Wyrmling! Or rather, I guess I should call her Rux as that's her actual name. Still, I was surprised to see her after all this time. I knew she just disappeared about 5 years ago and Eamon kept calling it an escape. I never expected to see her here. I remember we used to be close. I guess it was only natural as we were basically Eamon's pet projects. Although I can figure she was wary of me trying to bring her back to him. But I would never! She found her freedom and I would never take that from her. Still, it seems like she relaxed a bit more around me. She's still pretty awkward compared to before but it's better than the glaring, that's for sure. Hopefully we can make up and be friends again soon.
 
Later on we left town and headed out to Twin River. We came across a group of goblins who we tested to see if they would attack passersby. If they didn't we'd let them go, but if they did we'd have to stop them. Chael's idea. Sure enough... they did try to attack us with Harper and I up front. It was a refreshingly simple affair, with us absolutely dominating them as the others snuck from the sides and attacked. Mara screamed and leapt on one of the hobgoblins, cleaving it in twain with her sword in a single strike.
 
Again, reminder to self: Do NOT get on her bad side...
 
Ultimately we dealt with them in short order, barely taking a hit. Chael told the last one to leave these lands alone and I swear the goblin was going to soil himself as he ran away in terror.
 
Eventually we made it to Twin River and the guards let us in. They seemed to recognize Velvet. Turns out she's from around here. She recommended we stay at the Dusky Fawn inn. A bit on the older side and not as frequented... probably because it's a bit shabby. But after sleeping in that fort last night I'll take it. Cheap too, which I guess is a plus?
 
Today was eventful, but thankfully a lot less hazardous than the day before. I'm grateful to get some shut eye in a bed again. Tomorrow we talk to the guards and explain the situation. I hope they're equipped to handle the situation. Here's hoping for the best.
