• Headmaster Ian Salbuldir

• Professor Fisk – Professor Vyman

During breakfast Bithany comes to find us and informs us her mom found out there's an investigator looking for us. We've also been summoned to the headmaster's office. Bithany leads us through the hallway to the Commons to where the portals (elevators) are to areas. We go through one portal and are taken to the Headmaster's room.

Headmaster Salbuldir introduces himself to us and lets us know that the Investigator is from "the 10" and we need to be very careful how we answer and not to let him know we know of the wider five with the ley lines. His priorities will no doubt be with maintaining economic power rather than solving the problem.Just then the investigator comes in and introduces himself as Valerian Quinn, the Special Investigator for the 10 and requests to speak with each of us alone. He speaks with Bethany, Jervis, Mikey, Kody, and myself in turn asking only basic questions about why there were goblins there.

After the brief questioning the headmaster suggests we speak with Professor Ruxa (Bear hybrid). So we and Professor Fisk went to speak with Professor Ruxa. We let Professor Ruxa know what happened at the factory and our investigating the possible crossing of the Danilov line Deep water ley lines, which should not normally be possible.

The plan is to go back to the factory to see if there is any magical residue. In addition, we've all

We sat down to talk about our own abilities and party roles.

I'carus says he uses a bow, and has the ability to create magical items.

Kody's abilities are more of the mind, commanding them to do things.

Mikey makes magic things crush.

Luna is a druid of the game who prefers to support the party but also has the ability to transform into animals.

Bithany mentions her mother is one of the 10, and her ambitions for fighting pirates and slave trafficking.

Bithany wants to speak with Miguel about why he was there and if the Leafbottoms know what's going on. She also suggests we go speak with the Leafbottom's offices in the Four Corners district.

After lunch we meet up and take a longboat to the Four Corners. During the boat ride, Luna casts aid on herself, Bithany, and I'carus.

We arrive at the Four Corners district to speak with the Leafbottoms offices. We speak with one of their managers who recommends we look for Miguel at the Eving District in the Drought of Irons (Tavern). The manager offers us 50gp to scout out to where the caravans were destroyed to see what remains. We decline.

After we leave and Bithany hails another longboat by creating harmless sparkles from her hand, we arrive in the Enteringing district during sunset, as the sun sets Bithany opens her Everbright lantern.We find and enter the Drought of Iron, find the same table and look around, we order some food in the meantime.

We order several meat dishes.

Eventually, Miguel shows up.We sit him down and talk to him. Miguel says he believes Obin was smuggling something into the city for the Iron Claws.

They seem to believe he took the secret safe Obin had stashed away in the caravan. He says he's probably going to go back to the wagon crash site in a day or two. Bethany says we can stop by the Bows End on the way back (Tavern on the Academy).

The tavern seems to be busy with lots of people of humans, beast people, gnomes, goliaths, gnomes, and halflings. As we sit down we order a pitcher of wine.
