Session 2 : Jillean’s Magical Session

Written by Paul

After the attack on us in the Tavern, I wake up to the morning of the Summer Solstice (20th of Kythorn, 1495.

This morning I am sipping on water as we speak with Ryloth Emberfall as supposedly he has a job for us.

Josette offered him some Appa mead that he took willingly noting that it tasted “scholarly” but didn’t seem disapproving.

Freya shakes the group awake to consider the adventure contract that Ryloth presented to the party. It was written by Nora and sent to Ryloth by runner.

-The contract has information related to the assassination attempt and some events related to it. Ryloth wants us to do the job as his adventurous are “suspect at best” and his membership with the adventure’s guild is in jeopardy.

Jilliean notes that we are supposedly “cleaning up after Nora’s mess” and then is handed a contract (refer to World Anvil for contract)  

                -Bloodshed should be minimized if possible (Jillean doesn’t seem to like this)

                -Can not warrant hospital treatment or help from a cleric

We attempted to clothe the annoying honey badger (Mercy) didn’t seem to go well.

After all this, we ended up taking the contract despite how much dislike the conditions and we need to keep the contract to keep on good terms with the small folk.

We were given testimonies from

·         Mira Emberforge (arms and armor-more low value)

                -Unexpected broken tools

                -Quenching oil that she uses is foul

·         Cedrick Gearwight (largest in the Chasm district)

-Build houses with fire proofing

-Smith was burned down for an unknown reason

·         Elandra Wintermoon (most deals with floral glass works)

-Had multiple protection rackets over the week

Joesette, with the help of mead and the festivities, she got information about the people we are going after are supposedly over stepping and not respecting drawn guild lines.

We are trying to investigate, we are mostly drawing blanks but the forges remained unsearched so I personally want to visit that. The rest of party is right now consulting the paper work.

Guilds have started to make their presence known due to ramping up production of some forges in the chasm.

Kall was a beard champion for his age according to Freya. His little cousin Thorin came through and he has sworn his allegiance to Grom. Kall has also received holy water…weirdly.

We met Tim the barker, Josette is making deals with him, traded flowers for mead.

Fordare is being presented with a floral jewelry piece and then eventually bought it and fit surprisingly well. Vralis brushes off the fact that Wintermoon’s shop is in a portal magical space.

Wintermoon noticed that Kall seems to be a guard and got scared but Kall reassured her and now she seems really excited that our group is doing the investigation.

We are now dealing with magic that is tied to some sanctum where people can’t spy on us. Interesting magic that she is using,

Wintermoon does not like the dagger that Jilliean presented and its very off putting to Valtair.

We were supposedly being followed and thanks to Josette and Mercy we have seem to shake them and arrive at Cedrick Gearwight establishment.

We found some traps that disarmed from the inside in the establishment and then I used my mage hand to sift through the rubble and found a business ledger that was partially burned.  

We found a payment entry that says

                “ "The Eye" for "security" “

Found multiple payments, also about 10 days ago, these payments stopped.

Jillean did a ritual to detect magic and found a magical object where the living quarters would have been.

With the help of Foredare, she pulled out a beam with a safe attached, the door popped open when she set them down. Then a gem rolled out at Jillean’s feet. The dagger and gem  both began to glow and seem connected to each other.

Mercy found damn bees, we think…we heard sounds of buzzing from her direction tho!
