Day 2

Turns out this part of the adventure was shorter than I expected. I was figuring on a little more difficulty. This morning left my room about 2 hours before dawn. We were supposed to meet Wendy at that time to get the details on the mission. I took that time to wander about the guild buildings. Not much to report there. Pretty dead and deserted.   I headed to the guild hall about 30 minutes before the defined time. I had a chance to meet Wendy. She has red hair and freckles. She seems very girly for an adventurer. She's the apprentice to an artificer named Harland David Saunders.   Our little escort group consists of me, a dragonborn named vox, the silvery man named Cade, I believe he is a druid of some sort, the weirdly proportioned man is a bard and it turns out he was using a disguise spell and he's in reality a goblin. All in all a very diverse group. Cade arrives 8 minutes late. Prebstrob, the goblin, had to be woken up for our meeting. Typical gob.   Our mission will be to travel on a ship (The Grey Lady) to Gothic. There will be 25 people we'll be escorting. We'll each receive 1gp per passenger and 5 for Wendy arriving safely to the port on the island.   Once everyone was there, we walked out to the docks. The docks were massive. There were 3 that are 60' wide and 180' long. They were about 300' apart. The could move a lot of cargo through there. They were called puzzle docks as the are comprised of smaller pieces of glass that all inter-lock.   The Gray Lady is an interesting ship. Not like anything we have in Othrond. I expect it is mostly because we don't have any large seas like this one. Wendy recited a scroll and opened a portal. 20 people come out of the portal all shackled together. It looked like a few of them might be from Othrond.   We all boarded the ship and went in to the hold. In the hold there were 3 large tables and Wendy asked us to seat the "passengers" around the tables. There was a glass cylinder in the room with sunlight pouring in and a tree inside.   The passengers were all fed and shortly fell asleep. Wendy retrieved pails of food from the tree. I'm not sure what kind of tree it was. Seems handy though. That's when it got interesting. 5 of the slaves went berserk, yelling, thrashing about and attacking people nearby. We were able to subdue the with out a lot of issue. Prebstrob had a very useful spell that put some to sleep and we forced other unconscious. The rest of the trip was pretty calm. The crazy ones kept thrashing the rest of the voyage.   We eventually arrived in the Gothic capital city of Wonder. We were met by a person named Park sent by the Aspect of Wonder. The people dress strangely in Gothic. We got directions to the guild and headed out on the busy streets.   We stopped at a small shop and had a free meal. The proprietor, Danny, offered to feed us if we gave him feedback on his green food. It was fine but the source was weird. The animals has bizarre mushrooms growing from them and the food came from there. I'll stick with normal food. I'll be glad to get back to some normalcy.   Eventually we arrived at the guild. Lots of books. We turned in our vouchers for completing our quest and we'll hear if we are accepted in to the guild.   There was another group of adventurers there that we made a bet with. If we complete the next quest within 48 hours the'll give us 100 gp. If we don't, the'll need to complete it with another 24 or we'll have to pay then 50.   Toward the end of the evening I took a walk around the block. I encountered a woman on the street that called herself Miss Whitecastle. As she approched, I felt very sick. I don't need that right now so I hurried back to the guild.   Suzie, one of the guild girls, called a group of adventurers to go after Miss Whitecastle. Apparently she's been killing people around town or something like that. I need to rest.   PS As I was moved my pillow I discovered a tiny intricate lock. I opened it out of curiosity and inside was a piece of silk with a note from the local thieves guild giving me Guest Privilege and a job to assassinate 6 people. Their pictures are included on the note. Now I rest.
