Session Notes
Muireall
Muirreall is getting supplies again..Some rations and an astrological aid to get position of the moon
She find a telescope shop. From very expensive to 10 gp. She gets a well made wooden spyglass.
She wants a moon chart but she cant find it.
arti/saga
alex didnt see mistwe wait for muir
arti check the cairn again it might be magical but cant grasp what it is
small garden in back holds a singular flower - Saga checks if she knows what it is - Starlit tears
it produces a dust like tears used for magic tools and potions, a staple enchanting dust and ability boosting potions due to overharvesting it is nealy extinct
very valuable, it is half arti size
she asked a gardener - young mid 20s: whos tending to this plant?
communal gardens - that one is community goal to reintroduce the flower to its native ebvironment where it once thrived. it is just that one right now.
the light of kishar will aid in the flowers growth and pollination.
Archibald 60s old gardener told tale that it was harvested for enchanting tools. He was tho one who found it too. He loosens up around drink/gathering but in the garden he wont talk,
Muir arrives with fruit snacks and spyglass.

the small glade fills with people over an hour
it becomes more damp here, water is being pushed up from ground like a bog/marsh

heavy subject which one of you has been under stress recentlu, pressure from family or boss perhaps.
what is your reaction? right now is the moment you have to spit it out. is it because of fear, that you might lose smt? that they;; hate us?
I want you to think on this why cant you not be yourself we do you have to lock yourself away for others
