The Mischeivious Lizard

1866 – Burning, Day 20, Session Two
 
The distraction from the loose lipped soldier caused the Stage Coach to leave Wyldebrush abruptly. The coach left and set up 5 miles south of town and waited for an hour while the soldiers left behind tracked down their comrade.
 
Crow dropped the soldier persona opting for an older school marm named Tyra Collette. The old woman pointed the soldiers after a ghost trail. Rea and Kel moved away from the Overrated Hag and moved to see if the sheriff would escort the coach out of the city. They bumped into Tyra and she said she was going to the Temple to pray. Rea offered her lodging at the Skilled Star if she needed a place to stay.
When passing the Grand Palace, a half orc comes out to see the commotion from the Stage Coach, he locks eyes with Kel, but then turns away.
 
Rea & Kel head over to Skilled Star and overhear one of the soldiers being arrested and beaten. They decide to head to the temple as Kel would like to pray.
 
Crow drops the school marm persona as he enters the temple and puts n his cowboy persona. The temple appears to be empty; he lights a candle for Ilun (e-loon). The temple has alters for the 12 gods and while in the temple Crow senses something wrong. QL then enters the temple and she and Crow discuss why Q has been following Crow. QL explains she needs something from Crow. Crow has dropped his persona and stands before her as a warforged. She knew who he was under the glamor and the fact she hadn’t told anyone created trust between them.
 
Kel and Rea enter the temple and see the two at their respective alters. Crow@ Ilun and QL @ Lua. El proceeds to the largest alter of Tellus. Upon entering Kel hears a voice in his mind which brings attention to the alter of Nasir. Rea decides to sit in the center of the empty area to be respectful while the others visit their alters.
 
Shortly afterwards, a wind blows out all the candles in the temple and the only points of light are two red dots from the alter of Nasir. It is a large figure with wings decorated with black circle within a white circle. We saw this symbol on Arcaron. He says that we are meant to be together to achieve a goal. Crow asks why we would want to achieve anything. The figure vanishes in a bright light.
 
QL introduces herself as Lore. She takes off her hood and reveals a pink birthmark of a crescent moon which when it touches her hairline it becomes white strands of hair. Lore says she dreamt of our group. She knew by following Crow she would find us.
 
Crow asks if any of us knew the Nasir creature. Lore knows that Nasir is the creator of elves. She shares that the creature was Nasir. Rea knows from stories he uses different forms.
 
So, what now?
 
We decide to go after the stage coach and go to the Livery for horses. Sproket (Kel's horse), Tonk (Lore and Rea), and Mr. Willowby (Crow). We pay 6GP (5G deposit 1 G per day). We eventually catch up to the trail of the stage coach. Along the way we run into a group of travelers with 4 mastiffs, the men are wearing Red Sashes. They are traveling with their two young sons. Crow lied and told them the caravan has something of ours.
 
The sun rises and we make camp while watching to make sure the stage coach doesn’t get out of our sight.
 
LONG REST
 
We eventually catch up and set up camp away from the caravan’s notice. There are cycles of guards walking the perimeter and 1 archer on top of the coach.
 
Rea and Lore sneak into the Caravan’s camp. Lore turns into a lizard and rides on Rea’s shoulder to the stage coach. Lore can communicate telepathically and guides Rea to finding a carved box and a great sword. Lore crawls on the archer and allows Rea to get into the stagecoach and she grabs both items. Lore unlocks the horses from the coach and bites them. They start running scared and drag the archer behind them. The distraction is enough to allow Rea to escape with the items. She is far away when she hears a primal scream of frustration when the box was discovered to be missing.
 
They reconvene at the camp and view the box and sword.

Great Sword (standard) but good quality
 
Kel opens the box and it stabs him with poison. Rea then picks the lock and she finds a scroll inside. Its not in a language she knows. Kel can read it, but if he does it will cast the spell. (we don’t know this)
 
We decide to leave the area so the soldiers won’t catch up to us. We have about 8 hours before we need to rest again.
