The Notorious Session 11: We Call Ourselves Notorious

General Summary

The party returns to find Kriv unconscious. Allen checks to see if Kriv is okay, he seems fine. Solstice determined that Kriv needs to pay the fine and tell the party about crafting. First attempt to wake up Kriv, unsuccessful. Allen punches his arm. Allen weak boi. Solstice explains the situation to Kriv. Kriv annoyed, informs the party about Luna doing something about vigilante licenses. Kriv waited for the party to come back & studied the anvil, got tired, and fell asleep. Wincen asks about the magic bowl, Kriv misunderstood his request of a magic bow for a magic bowl (thick accent). Kriv explains magical item creation. Wincen finds a scroll for alchemy jug and is displeased, looks again, and finds one for gloves. Kriv tells him it is a scroll for gloves of thievery. Wincen doesn't know much about magic, he knows that Solstice and Vera want to leave town soon. Wincen has sneaky chat with Allen about Kriv teaching them magic stuff and running the shop for them while they are out adventuring. Sullivan goes to answer the door. Allen and Wincen agree that Kriv should watch over the house and study the anvil! Good deal! Kriv wanted 50% of commission for any items he makes and was excited to have access to the anvil for further study. Wincen wanted to haggle but remembered that they still owe 50% to Luna since she owns the shop. The party wanted to buy consumables at a discount and be able to use any items they want that was in stock at any point in time until they were sold.
Meanwhile upstairs, Sullivan answered the door to see Luna who has come to check in on the party and see if they spoke with Kriv yet. Luna catches on to Kriv being a greedy shit and a little more is revealed about Kriv's involvement in a coup at the Book Binder's Guild at Mount Roma with an accomplice, who now lives in Arpin, both paying for their crimes against the guild through service. Some recall Arpin, a desert city to the North of Malgos, a city of barbarians with a strong religious presence (barbarians read? Ew, religious barbarians.) Solstice and Vera look exhausted and Luna extends the courtesy of them staying at the inn and eating at the pub on her tab. Party is questioned about if they heard the alarm and informed them that they already had their licenses, apparently, Wincen had them the whole time and didn't know. Time for the party to pick a name! Chun Chun Maru, discussion of silly names and strange languages! Business advice from Luna (sounds like a Ponzi scheme). Party talks about being privateers as they go to the pub for their free meal. Boys brainstorm name idea before Solstice comes up with one (don't forget about the monkey, Allen. he'll shit on you. too late, he just did) "Notorious" (nice name, let's add "noodle arms" for extra flavor text). Gigi asks about the tournament, the meal was enjoyed by the party. Conflicting crier reports of both illegal bear impersonations and the fact that the king was in fact NOT nearly assassinated by a person disguised as a bear (fake news! pirates just being pirates). Rumors of a mysterious beggar with rare hooch who doesn't sell the booze, but begs for coin. Wincen accidentally offended a drunkard, who intended to fight for their insulting honor before passing out.
Asked if they play instruments by a group, cuz that guy was the main performer and now he is face down in his mug. Is there a way to cure drunkenness with magic, Sullivan? Indeed there is, Wincen, it's greater restoration. Magic can do anything. Wincen is shook. Gigi offers chocolate balls from Hillderan (Pop Rock sabotage of a cherry cordial. You better believe that Solstice took 6 of them.), Wincen eats it like a lava cake fondue dip with acorn bread. Vera and Solstice want the boys to stay in the caravan while they scout ahead when the group gets back on the road. They hear rumors from townfolk about being creeped out by the dwarves that only come out and cause trouble at night and are gone by morning, ever since the tournament. Sullivan's writing and Wincen gets wasted. Tries to climb up the stairs and unintentionally beguiles Gigi with the enrapturing drunken discussion of crawling. ("Don't wear those clothes near me." "Would you rather have them off?") Wincen passes out. Beautiful boi. Allen trances about Everdine Forest; before the monastery, before the Grung tribe. An illusion of an elven city that was sealed away by high-level elven magics, Allen remembers he was a child when it was sealed away. He intends to ask Vera about her dream. We start off with the next day.
