Time in a bottle

1866, Harvest - Day 12
 
The genie is a large 8' man with fire red skin and a luscious beard. He takes a look at Rea and seeingly says, "You're not Old Bean"
She is taken aback by his appearance and hesitently replies,"I'm a new bean...". He is obviously confused by her bad word play and pledges his allegiance to her.
 
We learn that the genie is granting 4 hours of his service to Rea, and the first one is minutes in. Rea seems disappointed that the stories she heard from travelers were very exaggerated, but learns about the city of brass and that O'Bean was a Sha'ir that contracted him in exchange for a large gem. The city of brass is a city surrounded by flames. (See Efreeti stats in D&D beyond - extras). When the hour is up, the genie returns to the bottle.
 
We are 3 days into our travels when the weather becomes unbearably hot and humid. Crow wearing his cowboy guise runs into a congregation of Primus. As part of an extreme baptismal ritual they nearly drown their followers in the "tears of Primus". This causes a tense standoff and we end up leaving.
 
We leave and along the road we learn about Crow and his ability to shift forms. He claims to have no recollection before waking up in the battlefield after the battle of Wyldebrush 2 years ago. We share our theories on why he has this magic and Lor seems to know something we don't. We also have an idea his ability may be related to his religious devotion to The Ebon Lady, she is the twin of Lua (the diety of Lor).
 
We come across a felled willow tree. We decide to go around it, but we encounter some difficult terrain. We continue for a few more days.
 
We get within a days ride to Pont when the city comes into view. When we approach we see two well dressed orc riders heading away from the city; male, Log and female, Kog. They hand us a wanted poster with a warforged on it. Reward is 100 Platinum. Crow shares he knows the warforged.
 
We enter the city via ferry and pass a riverboat casino. The temperature has dropped to a comfortable level. 10 Silver for us and wagon to cross.
 
Roy, the ferry man, gave us a brief guide to the city:
* The Hungry Minstrel (Inn)
* Druids Market (in Jaden)
* Kytsalt (Armory) (in Jaden)
* Guard House (Stable)
* Cracked Mug (Restaurant) (Kathel tells us)
 
As we travel through the city and see a Statue of Naomara, the goddess of law aka Lady Justice. We arrived at the guard station and they will take the wagon and horses for 4 silver per day. We pass through the druids market, but its closed. We see ribbon dancers and beggars. Rea gives a beggar 2 copper.
 
We come across a massive statue that straddles the road. It is of a dragon with full wingspan and roaring head. Legend has it that if a decedent of the wizard passes underneath it without a gift, the dragon will awaken.
 
We hear a ruckus and find out that there are fights going on. The next fight in the crate (the fighting pits) is Benny Sledge vs. Ethan. A man named Dan is taking bets, but we decide to continue on to the inn.
 
We pass the cathedral of No'Eau. Upon entering the hungry minstrel we see tables of gambling. Kathel the tavern owner has one room available. (5 silver per night). She is awesome and very observant. Crow is learning how to pla .38 special from William. Its war, but also texas holdem. Crow wins 2 hands of 38 special.
 
For baths they are across the street with Gina, 2 Silver ea. Rae and Lor go to the baths and introduce the idea of Shower bath shower to Gina. She is persuaded and dumps buckets of water over us before we enter the bath.
