26.10.2024 - Scribe-5 - Downtime and Battlemaids

Downtime (Time jumps around a lot)

• Scribes is working on the Badmouth's Mug enchantment.
• Due to the arcane magic in play, her eyes now glow purple with eldrich power until her next rest
• Void is continuing to work on enchanting the five woodoo dolls, his hair turns purple until his next
• Bucket oversees the construction of the Gaming Hall of the Guild
• Bucket tries to get Erline Thorne to tell him where to find dwarven adventurers to join The Shrouded and go on their first mission to excavate the desert temple
  • She suggests asking the builders that renovated Veilhearth
  • He says that he's from the White City in a mountain chain across the Narrow Sea. It took 2 years to travel here
  • She knows where that is, and understands that he is a squarian (?)
  • He says that we will train the dwarven reqruits in dungeon delving
  • She thinks it might be useful to the dwarven king
  • She asks him how his brothers are, and he tries to avoid the question
  • She also points out that things weren't that great in the White City a month ago
    • The council is missing it's ruler (But he passed over a year ago from poisoning)
• Bucket casually promises her a favor for the info about possible adventurers
• It musn't become known what she is here to do, but she can talk to some people and find 4 reliable dwarves
• She'll have four names for us
• They will arrive at the pub the morning we leave for Hell, Scribes will then send them to the desert temple for the first mission
• The Battlemaid and butler hiring process went well.
  • 28 applicants showed up
  • The process is held in the pub, with Bucket poorly disguised with a hat
  • Our bartender, Varun Óttarr, is busy trying to prevent Bucket from blowing his cover
  • We manage to hire the butler, 3 battlemaids and 4 guards
  • One battlemaid is a smith that can make enchanted weapons, named Brunna Stoneforge. Scribes has verified that her enchantments are authentic
  • Another applicant is Seraphina “Sera” Fairwind, dressed in pirate attire and wearing a lot of gems. She is Tritonian and seems very capable. But we don't trust her to not steal from us
    • We will try to get her into the Shrouded as a member instead
• Another applicant is a hafling herbalist named Taron Brightleaf. He speaks in riddles, and plant metaphors. His side hobby is cultivating rare and exotic plants
• Next is Mira Tessel, a meek bookish and human scribe, who likes to listen and observe. They want the armory guard position. They like lists and keeping track of things
• Further is Gus Barrelmug. We instantly hire him as our bouncer based on his name, without asking any questions about him
• Keldric Stormbinder, is a battlescarred mage applying for the guard position. His speciality is thunder and lightning, and he has a black feathered, miniature Griffin companion that is perched on his shoulder and seems to whisper in his ear
  • Void doesn't see any wrong or suspicous

 

Plan

Prepare to go to hell/E's art gallery tomorrow at 12

• Pick up the tuning fork from Selmyn (we can get back using our teleportation circle with plane shift, or Word of Recall)
• Buy 25 gp worth of diamond dust for Nondetection?
• Send our Shrouded dwarves to the desert temple

  Sylword can cast Locate Object on the knife that was left on the other side of the Lorladon portal.   Scribes needs to read up on what pranks are, and think of one to prank Sylword and Bucket back. Since they told her to.   Learn the new spells: Aquired but unlearned spells   Scribes needs to talk to Coty about what happened with Lorladon (Coty wants to assemble her voodoo dolls first)   Coty can use her necklace to meld Custodian Auren, so he can be released. We could also give him to Path of Hill, claiming that we held him while we investigated his crime of impersonating the Emperor
