General Summary
Cernan's Answer from Arabeth
While praying, a butterfly goes to the tree.
Cernan and
Stormy are transported to the ethereal plane.
Arabeth explains what she sees in a board with "dominoes" representing
Alador - City.
Arabeth can't see Alador, but can see because we gave the people hope (through the new tree as a symbol of her) and the connection of the person in the carriage going out of town.
We can't direct attack the forces of Amanita.
Someone important to Amanita left the city so Arabeth can see the connections and uses tokens to understand things. Mistake by Amanita!
#1 task: Cita needs to take the test to confront the fool token (head of thieves guild? or General Kronin?)
We need to make allies as many as possible to be every where at once in Aladore to be ready for the traps that Grasti will spring.
Connect with Mage's guild
Cormo is connected to Grasti
Line them up and the dominoes fall.
At least 3 of the tokens on the board Arabeth had in Alador were Cita, Cernan, and Stormy
Arabeth gave Cernan the token of her brother. He'll know what to do with it. (bird and cog on yellow tile) (Supposedly Arabeth saw her brother killed with his own sword by Amanita. But was he the yellow bird that visited us?)
(dwarves too! Stop them from leaving.)
th line of dominoes Cita, the fool, the mage's guild, the mages, ...... Grasti.
Cita talks to Carl
Take the test to "Get a name" in the thieves guild
Takes a bowl of iced cream to share.
Carl Wagner lives away from the Free Alador society. He's been instrumental in moving people secrety. But sticks to himself.
He's working on his boat. (odd skill for him? Bare minimum maintenance. Does what he can.)
Carl, "My father's pride is what killed him. Not join them because of Amanita. He just wouldn't."
Carl sees his brother's dead - from Cita's dagger.
Carl trades an obsidian dagger for the one of the set from his brother.
"I know my father and his father hated your family. I did. Sorry. Your family has fed me."
"Test is rigged. If they want you to die you die, if they want you to pass you pass."
Grandmaster Corbin and his right hand General Kronin (appears out of nowhere - assassin).
Fewer students and academy still going. (Frank and Salvo
They think Carl is dead. (Scar on his throat.)
Cita aks about his mom. Not member of thieves guild, lives in Alador.
To take test - declare at the entrance. Journeyman thing - that she already did.
Cita helps him fix something on the boat.
Cita talks to her dad
Does the thieves guild know Cita's dad, Carlo Sarez, is alive? No. Is in good standing and "dead".
Some of her younger siblings were going to take the test. (Felix or Afertuna - but thieves guild thinks they are dead.)
Master Havlock Ramkin is still one of the professors there. Always was friendly to Cita.
Lord Jarrus Ferma II and
Lord Epron go back and forth to "home" to look normal.
Prepping for the test. We load up Cita with all our stuff we can.
We give her anything we can to help her out.
Stormy gives her 10 goodberries
"Price" to prove completed journey - 500 gp. We share gems and stuff with her.
Cernan can bless Cita for 24 hours. Takes 1 hour to cast.
Cita's Test At the Thieves Guild
We tag along to at least tell of her stories
Two teachers - write in the ledger and ask for the fee. Bowl hums.
Some of the guys that comes in is Grandmast Corbin and Frank and Salvo. She can't see General Kronin.
Each of us talks her up.
Test of the scout, thief, or assassin? She has to choose.
Cita chooses the Scout. Room B1.
"No prepare room B3", General Kronin says. (Kronin=Sporey Mc Spore ton + there's another spore creature there). Kronin wants her to die!
we hear "We haven't used that room for decades because everone d..."
We are shown to guest quarters.
Cernan verifies that Corbin is "Still head of the theives guild"
We are locked in. (Thoradin verifies that it's a "WOODEN" door.)
The Test
B3 last door on left.
The wall opens in the back. Outsteps the grandmaster. He holds up his hand to silence us. We follow him. Trap door. We get to his office.
He will allow us to watch with him via magic.
(We are allowed to kind of help)
(Mike C will track the items she finds.)
In Testing Room B3
Unconscious dude was dragged out of a room. (This one?)
Cita disarms lots of traps. Finds and flips a switch. Disarms traps!
Finds keys, bottles of wine, masks, deed, coins, a deed, cloaks, etc.
Does most awesome at theiving!
Finds a room with a chest that no one has opened in a LONG time.
Letter with a purple cat seal
Silk armor and short sword + 2. being made to put aside status and deem you worthy - Grandmaster of Thieves Don Deigo Canto Sarez. (Her great grandfather!) -- both color change.
Upon command can change the color. Armor AC 14+ DEX armor.
the weighing table was trapped. Cita drinks a special potion to negate it.
door opens and she's out! Cita passes!
She picks Scout "Shadow Panther" as her name. Now has the privilege of paying the guild 5% of her earnings.
New friend,
Princess Prentis Leon—about age 15, wants to kill General Kronin.
Corbin is quiet. There hasn't been anyone to pass that room for 30 years. Was sealed up because her great grandfather wanted it sealed up or someone was against him.
Corbin takes off something from his head. Circlet of disguise-tabaxi. YOUNG tabaxi is in his place—
Shorren Brevus. "We had to kill Corbin ages ago."
(Prentis wants to be the grandmaster)
Talk with Prentis
-Kronin expects Cita to be dead. "Now the fun begins!" Prentis says.
(Queen Mariana is mother of Prentis and Ricardo)
The big guy - him and this elf come walking in and take over. Vaugner stood up to him and cut his head off in front of Carl. And Carl too.
(Prentis is the fool token)
She's concentrating on this Guild.
How often the elf come here. Hasn't been here for a while.
Elf (Grasti): white hair, pointy ears, white eyes, not remember scars or tattoos, silver gemstone in forehead (sometimes) - Prentis thinks is does something
Prentis asks us to help take out General Kronin
half the building would be with Kronin, so have to take him out sneaky like.
Kronin's room last one on left by guest chambers
Who was being taken out of Alador?
Her brother was in the dungeon - they took him out. Who's on the throne. Alphonse (the righrtful king) is NOT on the throne. Rupert (the younger twin brother) is on the throne.
HArAlphonse didn't want anything to do with with Grasti. Was always good at magic - naturally good at a magic (sorcerer).
Prentise may be able to sneak in - knows a few ways. Knows the best way into the kitchen.
We could find Alphonse and free him.
(Remember carriage turned and went on the captains road. Follows the north edge of the lake. Slow carriage.)
Carl says he had to go on a journey and we have charge of the boat.
Cita - gives Stormy the Harper's Journal (a collection of this harper's adventures and poems)
Our next jobs
deal with Kronin
Free the rightful king.
(Order of operations) kronin, major houses, bringing the guilds together, and then take of Grasti.
Puppies (get at least one?) (Cita and Shimmer)
XP for the last two sessions: 750 for each character.
