2024-12-27 A Geas upon Miribadi
General Summary
New player character introduced: Tav Edriss, the Salt Lord of the South. Eclipse Solar.
Ambassador suggests doing business to outfit Mercenary companies.
Mentions that Lookshy had sent a field force on behalf of Lookshy to help Thorns when they were sieged by a Deathlord.
Thorns had stronger ties to the Realm at the time, but they contributed forces because they would rather have the Realm than a Deathlord.
Reiterated that he’s willing to work with us as a consultant on the mercenary trade.
We’re renting their ship and can hire mercenaries from them.
Stelsor is concerned that affecting Plentimon’s casino and Willow Specter.
Fortifier points out that Miribadi has messed up Director Byorn and is pushing Black Sunshine.
While we consider having Dreamflower devour Miribadi‘s essence permanently, but we worry that removing Miribadi entirely could lead to The Lover sending someone worse.
Fortifier suggests we need some sort of binding on her. Perhaps a necromancer can help us engineer this.
Plentimon is playing dice with Burning Feather,
There are 5 Raksha in attendance
Stelsor, Dreamflower and Fortifier attempt to try the dice game and roll very poorly.
We speak with him privately and inform Plentimon that Miribadi had put some necromantic whammy on Willow Specter.
Stelsor estimates Plentimon’s lost revenue for him but Plentimon is less concerned about the funds and more about the disrespect that they would dare to tamper with his operations.
Miribadi, as a representative of the ghost Plentimon will not name (The Lover), she isn’t a direct signatory of the TZ-Coin-Guild treaty.
We also tell Plentimon about the shipment of Soulsteel on the way. It is a component of Black Sunshine, but this seems like a greater amount than they would need for that purpose.
Fortifier asks , if we try to intercept this soulsteel, would we want her to know it was us? Should we attempt to pin it on some other group?
Plentimon is concerned that this would involve going directly into Miribadi’s place of power.
Stelsor points out that he has a ring of shadows.
Plentimon brings in a woman who seems familiar. She adjusts her Resplendent Destiny to reveal it is Titiana Botticelli, chosen of Serenity.
Plentimon seems to want a very subtle approach.
Titiana suggests using the Sign of Venus to hallow the agreement.
Stelsor asks if Plentimon wants recompense from Miribadi.
Plentimon desires Miribadi forcibly lend two art pieces to be displayed in his casinos.
Stelsor asks what Plentimon knows about Director Fruza.
Plentimon says Director Fruza had captured someone and made them bet their life against power of the Feather (out of character: not Burning Feather, this is a feather from the Deathlord Black Heron/Princess Magnificent with Lips of Coral and Robes of Black Feathers).
Plentimon is horribly insulted that Director Fruza framed that as a fair game.
We’re bringing Titiana along.
Stelsor wants to contact his cousin Repatriator of Souls for information on The Lover.
Dreamflower recognizes the name Deathrose Pot-pourri as a name that worked on a necromantic ritual she investigated.
Stelsor asks Seline to bring Da-Ni-Ka’s net on-loan. The net is useful for restraining Ghosts.
Seline comes along in a new Destiny: Levitating Turquoise of Confidence
The scent and aura of death is less than it was last time we were here (roughly 2 weeks go).
The shadowland feels weaker, but is the same size.
We had disrupted her necromantic incense and cleaning up after the Guild Ziggurat. It will still take time for Creation to heal.
We walk through the neighborhood and still see ghosts walking openly.
We arrive at Miribadi’s shop at the center and it is not open for business, but we knock anyway and the door opens by magic.
4 undead panthers are lounging on the floor and greet us.
We tell the panthers we have business with Miribadi and they send of their mistress.
Miribadi is unhappy to see us.
Dreamflower lays out our demands and Titiana’s eyes glow blue.
First, Miribadi offers Plentimon a vase.
Second, Miribadi profers a feather tickler similar to the one Fruza has.
Miribadi says she recovered 4 feathers from the aftermath of a battle in the Underworld. She has sold 3 of them already. This is the last one.
Fortifier asks what Miribadi has done to make amends.
Miribadi says she has done nothing to make it up to Byorn because Byorn hasn’t asked for that.
She cautions Fortifier on seeking recompense on behalf of Byorn and the Guild without his request.
Fortifier asks if Miribadi is connected to the murders committed by the Tears falling like rain.
Miribadi is part of the group, but we mystically verify her words when she claims she wasn’t involved.
Our business concluded, the panthers rise to signal the end of the meeting.
Continuing our past work and trying to treat those who may have become addicted to black sunshine.
PSAs to explain to the refugees that black sunshine is coming from a deathlord, not unlike the one that drove them from Thorns.
Stelsor sketches ideas for how to use the land surrounding the reservoir.
Fortifier ponders setting up a demonstration for floating gardens (similar to how the Aztecs farmed).
Stelsor is wanting to have the ship airborne in time to host his wedding with Seline.
