Into the Unknown Session 11: Of Thieves and Hydras

General Summary

Our Cast of Characters:

And Our Friends:

And Now, The Long-Awaited Continuation of Our Story In Which Four and a Halfling Are at a Loss of What To Do Now

Act One: Reverse Thievery

Whilst studying their pilfered knowledge, Four and a Halfling notice a thief in their midst, someone with their tiny hand inside of a pocket.
Enter one Finvius Cloudberry, who introduces himself as a "Halfling Gentleman Thief, in whatever order you prefer"
You see, the fellow had recently stolen quite a lovely set of jewelry from Redfield's Watch Captain, and had been hoping to use someone who wouldn't be watched closely, such as Guilded adventurers, to smuggle the goods out of town. He apologized, explained that this captain had taken hefty bribes and wouldn't have been able to afford the jewelry anyway, and really was this worth any of their time?
Long debate, the party abandoned the trinkets and let the little fellow go. Only Willow seemed to enjoy his company at all.

Act Two: Extraordinary Wizardry

Dalgin writes about his adventure and learnings, Kethryn bothers him, Malachi prays to Vadaszat, Isadora sells some charms, and Willow secures some tasty treats for herself and the pupper
The Order of the Eye are thoroughly impressed with the party's expedition and uncovering of Chronomancy and they are invited to meet with the Arch Necromancer Odatrix the Gravewaker to discuss it.
The fellow looks exactly like an elder necromancer. His students are mostly corralling and destroying undead as the party walks in, then treated to a lovely tea service.
Long story short, the Guild is looking to play around with time magic but they're going to need some help.
The kind of help that involves gathering hydra blood

Act the Third: Hydra Hunt and A New Plan

The party tracked a hydra
Fought a hydra
killed a hydra
Turn in the hydra blood
Finally, with that out of the way, it was decided we needed a new direction- literally. Nobody gets big as an adventurer just doing approved quests. After some amount of research they found the likely locations of two magic items that had been lost, specifically, two Artifacts of Skaldor.
The Compass of Fate is a magical compass that points in the direction of what it's master desires most. It was last seen on a ship that sunk off the coast of Ryltuak Island a hundred years ago.
The other one is (I forgot I'm so sorry)

World Event 81: Small Gifts (The party finds themselves the victims of a highly skilled "reverse pickpocket")

Faction Notes

You earned two points with the Mages. Enough time has passed that the Lady Jael faction no longer cares about you one way or the other.
