Adventure Recap
We've had some time off. Some visions. An assassination plot that interrupted the ceremony which coincided with an assassination of the
Enond king. They also got their
Adventurer Class Airship. So they sent
Ellas Lantaththar, their assistant, to get a crew.
So, at the ceremony we saw
The party takes a seat and gets a drink, reginald comes up and thanks them. He gives them a pin from him, and he says it is similar to the one that the Elder gave them. It is round, but with his sigil.
Tells them to keep them safe, and not to give them out. It would let people know they are trusted by Reginald and able to see him.
Jinx comes up.
Turns out she was the one talking to
Caireall Donoghuei in
Session 21: The Yawning Portal Report
She speaks how
Zirin Shadowtooth is trying to push for power. They ask her what she thinks about his ambitions, she is sure he wants
Enond, but not sure if he wants more.
Bastion asks Reginald if they had learned anything from the prisoner, he then persuades (nat20) him to let them talk to the prisoner.
Barlo asks who the king assassinated was, it was the King of
Enond Ymeoz Primeguides, but he was asking about who was shot in front of Reginald.
Barlo, Bastion, and Calliope go to the
Elder's Keep of Skola Vale, down into the donjon. A prison cell with two
Leonin, one is beating on him. The prisoner goes
Unconscious, so the other
Leonin heals him.
He is not totally healed, just enough to stay alive. He is beat, tied with his arms behind him. He spits some blood.
Bastion asks him his name. he doesn't answer.
Calliope uses her glove.
Barlo leans against the wall "this will be interesting".
As she touches his shoulder,
You pick up his name is
Acate of the Sunfield
You see a vision of him in an alley with another
Leonin being given the job. Told to assassinate Reginald at a specific time then leave. To get back to wide berth in a week and report back. The
Leonin he spoke with had a scar across his left eye and it was missing.
The one-eyed
Leonin is
Paramoz of the Mightfang
She tells the two party members of what she saw.
Tabletalk on reliablity of the glove
The glove is similiar to
Legend Lore and so it might be vague or such, but it is about truth.
The party goes back to the Treehouse, on the way they inform Reginald of the vision. He tells them of Paramoz being a spymaster for his uncle
Zirin Shadowtooth. Calliope asks where is the Sunfield, but that is just a tribal name. She asks if the Sunfields are a threat, and he says maybe -- but the likely of such another assassination would be unlikely. They lost the element of surprise.
Shadow is talking with her brothers, learns a bit to the wars to the East of them.
Sas is with
Abbot Grok and her family. Catching up. Notices
Solec and
Dalkur are trying to be close, Abbot is protective and worried, attentive towards them.
Gortam is also there.
The Abbot brings up the accolades he has heard of Sas. He brings up how
Solec and himself went on adventures, before the disappearance, it was what they were celebrating as the party came in. Asks about
Caireall Donoghuei, notices the spores. She asks for any wise words...
This was retconned from some ridiculous quote about colors to
“one vision can hold many interpretations “
table talk about next steps
talking about going to
Beholder, or the ziggurat.
The party goes down below to see the obelisk again. It seems some type of "marking" has been put around the ziggurat and obelisk, some protection ring of some sort.
They begin to investigate. The runes were probably place years ago when the party first discovered this area, but there has not been a lot of upkeep. The only tracks from various creatures that probably live in the
Underdark.
She examines the obelisk and sees no similarity to her coin. Bastion, using his researcher trait, he is aware how many of these
Black Obelisks were built long ago, by some of the first to come to
Dierde. Rumors of how these early people came from a
Netherese society long ago in a nother land,
Toril. These powerful mages had
Mythallars and put these obelisks up for various reasons. Some can tap into other powers, others are prisons for powerful beings, and of course many hold religious beliefs for these. He can pretty much go to any major church or library to learn more.
Shadow touches the obelisk with the coin in the other hand, nothing occurs.
They think of how
Arktos touched it last time and it sparked him.
They see the sand around them lift a bit... back to
Bast's desert. Three pyramids, the sphinx and
Bast who seems to be talking, but no words.
She is finally able to talk. She says her friend has the "key" and she needs them to get to the
Deadlands. The party saw her
Blink out. She tells them to find the mountain at an oasis in the desert, take the orb there. They know they need to get to the
City in the Mist City in a Mirage myth where a guy had left that place.
tabletalk on desert, travel, and the ship
Shadow goes to
Grumminfiz Finklebottom with
Barlo to purchase the +1 Studded
Leather Armor.
Bastion realizes it might be a bit too late for a library, but there are many
Books on the ship and in the Embassy. He also wants a jeweler's kit. He wonders who has the
Ruby Weave Gem (sas), and they realize they should stockpile some gems.
Shadow sells her +1
Leather Armor, for 600 gp.
socket Gem attunement tabletalk
tabletalk on Dweomerflow
made changes to how
Dweomerflow, and possibly some other such spells, work.
Bastion goes to the Druids and gets a scroll for each spell he needs, for free. But just one of each.
He puts
Fly into his spellbook (Using Skill Empowerment)
(18)
Redfall 01, 2023 KC, early morning
Tabletalk about Spells to fuel the ship
Shadow goes to apothecary. Exalted Compassion, owned by
Jesper Shadowdreamer
Shadow asks for acid to put in 3 arrows. 25 gp each.
asked for "lady discount" shows pin... fails. Gets a 1gp discount, she doesn't take the discount.
buys 3

3 vials of acid
She gets back,
Barlo says "we have all the free acid and poison we want" showing the
Alchemy Jug.
She puts the acid in the arrows, and then fills the vials up from the jug.
She goes back to the store to buy some more vials. 10 more.
Gives the kit to Bastion
Ursa and Lars go to Bastion, notices how the relationship has changed. Nicer clothes, more of a couple, extravagent wedding bands.
Bastion (15 insight), she seems in charge and the talker. "By the way you had some jars with creatures inside. we were going to check them out."
Bastion "oh yeah"
Gets the jars and hands them over
Ursa: "these are interesting, where did you say you got them?" hands one to Lars who seems fascinated
Bastion: "I know, right. WE got them in a forest, in a bag with a spellbook. and a journal, a botanist."
Ursa: "I would love to see if we can make these."
Bastion: "I know."
Ursa: "Do you think it would be possible for us to borrow them to study? Maybe try to figure out more about them."
Bastion: "Sure, but if you figure out how to make them work we get that information for free."
Ursa: "I think we can do that, what do you think, honey?" to Lars.
Lars: "yeah, yeah... of course." He is entralled with the jar.
Bastion: "Shadow,
Barlo, is that cool?"
sure...
He gives them all but the
Beholder.
Ursa: "Definetly, if we can figure out how to replicate these we will get that info to you. Lots of interesting things we can do with this."
Bastion: "I agree."
Bastion: "I see the forge has treated you very well."
Ursa: "Yeah, we have created a bit of a lab to study all types of magic. We even found some old
Mythallars, and been able to create floating lands and to expand to higher grounds.
Barlo: "Did you say the island is floating?"
Ursa: "The island is how it was, but we created a larger island behind the main island and that is floating to keep our labs safe. The orbs we have been able to collect, with
Jeets getting one off some
Bargle character when you were gone. Then there was in Pradam's hat. We've been trying to study those too."
Bastion: "and how is our house?"
Ursa: "Oh it's fine, which we've been meaning to collect the back taxes, you do owe about 30 gp in taxes."
Bastion: "here you go." gives 30 gp.
Ursa: "oh, thanks. We'll get that handled."
Bastion: "When you figure out how to store spells in gems, let me know."
Ursa: "what you thinking?"
Bastion: "Oh, I just have some ideas."
Ursa: "There is some things we have figured out, granted Lars does most of that."
Bastion: "We would love a circle to transport there."
Ursa: "You have the one in the basement that is all done."
Bastion: "That's right."
Ursa: "well, I think Lars wants to spend some more time with
Professor Umbercresct as he is learning a lot about
Netheril to help tie together some of his research. If we find out anything about these jars, I will let you know."
Shadow hands the vials to
Barlo to fill them up.
Bstion spends the resources and time to put
Dweomerflow in his spellbook. Does the
Skill Empowerment and with a 24 gets it.
Their assistant,
Ellas Lantaththar suggests maybe looking for cargo or post going out that way for some coin. He is going to check on keep soon.
Bastion asks him for a list of deliveries or whatever. He says he will see what is available. The party is fine with some errands. The crew is set, they'll take care of the provisions. Everything should be ready tomorrow.
Barlo only wants "urgent messages" also was surprised at how much weight the provisions is. A reminder that cannons are rare, but they do have a ballista on the ship.
